More about graphics and how the game looks than about how it plays? I think its safe to say with what you have showed us about Legion and what we have seen on Dust 514 that you care nothing about the game mechanics and overall balance of the game. Sure it looks pretty and shiny but do you really think a player thats fighting against 12 enemy soldiers is really going to stop and take a look at the scenery around them? If you actually do go through with Legion (the generic version fo Dust) I would advise you to spend more time on the overall play of the game rather than the shiny garbage (that includes trees no one cares about the trees).

What we're shown so far is just the graphics because the gameplay changes are still either design documents on the wiki or ideas being hammered out in someone's head. It's early days yet, and while the Game Designers work on their designs, the tech guys can work on the game engine and graphics which is a bit easier to immediately show off.

Remember, what you saw was a prototype.

Can we have an ETA on Legion please, don't want to buy a computer till I know what I need to run this

Remember, what you saw was a prototype. While I tend to agree with Logibro on this, I would say that if there isn't a compelling reason to play the game (aside from pretty pictures) I feel it will relatively quickly die. I do like having good graphics, having been spoiled by EVE even on the minimal graphics settings and feel the game should look good, the game play and features need to be even better. I want to feel like I am a part of New Eden in the first deployment of Legion and not an afterthought, which is what has led to my discontent with the current form of the product. To do this the games need the interconnectivity originally promised in the first display of the game concept. This means a functioning market, working corp roles and hangers. The ability to make contracts, get isk scammed by locals and to be able to change which local I am in. I want to be able to conquer a planet on the far reaches of the galaxy in Null or go up to K space and enjoy the ease of access to markets and missions that are low risk. In addition to this I want to see capsuleers able to manufacture my weapons, create work for me and my fellow mercs and be another market for their industrial prowess to conquer. I was sold on One Universe//One War, please deliver that product. Can we have an ETA on Legion please, don't want to buy a computer till I know what I need to run this
