We need something new, in the vein of Allegiance.

I've determined this... yes I have. Allegiance was fun, but doomed being tied to The Zone. The new "free" version desperately needs updating.

Oh how I long for some Wing Commander-esque fighter piloting style game that literally puts multiple players cooperating with each other from the front-line fighter jocks to the multiple individuals it takes to effectively run a capship. Couple that with some nice spankin' fancy DX10 graphics and you have the best MMO ever.

Anyone know of or are working on such a beast?

Allegiance kicked ass. I was in the beta for it, but everyone knew that it was launching way too soon. Nobody said they would pay for it because too much power went to one person (the commander) who could make or break a pub game.

But the idea behind it, wow, just awesome. Nothing was more tense than trying to slip a stealth bomber into a sector and going on a nuke run with no shields to lower your signature. The game balance was good as well, although the IC was overpowered if played ruthlessly enough (i.e. cap ship rush)
