Zenister 0 #1 June 9, 2004 anyone playing this? my brother-in-law (MMORG freak that he is) sent me a 30 day free trial..so far i'm pretty impressed graphics are beautiful, game play seems pretty deep and the economic model is player driven (including research and manufacturing) and very complex for a video game...the combat and flight system is a little disapointing, but this is clearly the successor to Elite, the game i was totally addicted to as a young kid... not so sure i'd pay for a subscription as i dont spend as much time playing games as i once did, but its been a pretty fun week goofing off and learning the interface....i've even borrowed a couple of their GUI idea's for a few projects. (of course there are a number of GUI issues i cant believe they let slide but, thats mostly me being picky about real world radar functionality...) so any other skydivers on? if you are and happen to see ships with dropzone names that would be me..... sadly i must report that 'Perris' had a freak accident with the cops involving a stray missle and a stargate the good news is the insurance pay out paid nearly twice the ships value, so Perris II was quickly commisioned____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Sorry - Bad taste - but I couldn't resist.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
