Greets. Well for the time being, i'm Gameless.
Been hankerin for a game where it has elements of Space flight Sim(kinda like Jumpgate, X3,SFC3 etc etc) and part mmorpg. and where i dont just have to kill. If i want to mine for a bit, i can mine, if i want to haul/trade, i can haul or trade.
Main reason for no Eve is the fact that i played that for years, and i'm really A. burned out on the timesink for skills. and B. Eve is a never ending cycle of player find "workarounds and semi exploits" and then "company Nerfs"
any idea folks?
pls dont recomend Jumpgate(unless there is a ton more players on the server) nor recomend Freelancer(srry folks that game was never meant to be a mmorpg, though so many have put blood sweat and tears into tryin to make it so.)
thanx for the help your able to give folks. To Protect The Helpless From The Heartless |

Originally posted by joojoo1975 Dude, you are so wrong on bouth counts. The game is far from dead; see the end of my post for a video recently shot from my perspective if you require proof.
It takes a while to learn where the population valleys are and gather around them. Come to the Sedina star system around 3:30 PM EST this Sunday (or any Sunday for that matter), and you will see some festivities. Also, you may be near someone and not even realize it as it takes a while to develop the right kind of situational awareness. I recommend getting the plugin Targetless (shown in the video) as this will help you in that regard.
I don't know what the fetish with shields is all about; to me, the way a game mechanic affects strategy and tactics is more important than having shields for the sake of having shields, but Vendetta Online most certainly does feature shields (also shown in the video). Fighter craft do not have shields, capital ships usually have shields. Yes, you can fly either one (provided you have the time and testicular fortitude to craft a cap ship... it would take a single player months if not years) and yes, fighter ships can dock with cap ships to repair and reload, multiple players can also serve as crew on board a cap ship, man the turrets etc. There is also a "shield turret" weapon, which can be mounted on some ships, that fires octagonal disc-like shields out into space that can intercept incoming ordinance like a point-defense weapon. Bombers can launch torpedoes, swarm missiles, and other anti-capship weaponry. Turrets can be individually targeted... there is a lot of strategy involved.
Even flying a fighter craft into a furball or 1v1 requires a lot of strategy; more than you would ever garner from watching a few simple videos. It's not all about reflexes. You need to have excellent spatial memory: knowing what is around you at all times, relative threats and opportunities, the safe distance from proximity weapons, and staying out of an opponent's cone of fire. To compete at the top level takes years of practice and training, and if you don't play every week you will quickly find yourself becoming rusty. Also, you could have the best reflexes of anyone in game, but if you don't understand the fundamentals of combat and apply them you will get beaten.
I've played consistently for 9 years and I feel like there is still a lot to learn. Just when I think I've found my way to the top, another player comes along and teaches me a lesson. That's one of the reasons I love it; it is always changing, different players, different game mechanics, new strategies. I've never had an experience where I've felt as connected to a game as in Vendetta Online. Anyone who tries to tell you it's somehow less complex than Eve or other games is pulling the wool over your eyes.

Originally posted by joojoo1975 Guess you missed the 1st suggestion and since you want something to replace Eve, there is very few out there hence Eve being there.
Once again you missed the first suggestion, also I'm here because it's a free forum. I'm taking a shot of vodka every time I see a reference to a game being a WoW or Diablo clone. |

Originally posted by MMOGamer71 well i tried to edit it as i felt i was being a lil harsh. but since you full well knew what you were doing, i guess i wasn't.
So in your estimate, if there isn't something else that You haven't seen, it's ok to post something that has already been stated(and asked not to bring up).
man i bet your swell at funerals and divorce hearings :D To Protect The Helpless From The Heartless |

Originally posted by Fehd BSG from what i played a time ago, is basically a tunnel shooter, nor does it have mining/cargo haulage. has it changed/was i wrong?
Just spent a hour playing Dark Prophecy. looks like a good game, but alas it also does not have mining/cargo hauling. it's basically just a space flight sim shooter. then i went on forums to confirm and the forums are all blowing up about the game on it's last breath :( so once again, am i wrong on this and if so, pls point me to the info about other activities besides crafting ships and guns and ship combat.
looks like VO Might be somewhat what i'm looking for. i'll have to have some questions answered first though. To Protect The Helpless From The Heartless |

Ask away... Don't hesitate to drop a line on the main VO forums either, the community tends to be a friendly bunch; indeed, one of the main reasons I've continued playing is the community. Incarnate, the lead dev, will often stop to answer questions or respond to feedback there, particularly from a new user.

yea played VO for a bit. And it's not what i'm lookin for. the game is good and easy to download, but I'm more of a Terminus/starfleet command 3 kinda guy.
Thanx to all who tried to help. To Protect The Helpless From The Heartless |

Ace Online has 250% increased experience until you reach end-game, so the grind isn't as bad anymore. It's a great game, and even though it's pay to win, you can buy all credit shop items with the game's currency, as well as with points you get from pvp. It also has RvR, ans 12v12 max arena. |
