I found this game a few days ago.
In the game your objective is to manage a Starship and colonize the planets. It's an MMOG with a persistant real time clock. meaning the game clock is the same speed as a real clock and that your ship is always in the game, somewhere. Because of this docking is an absolute must in the game to ensure your ships safety because at anytime, online or offline, you may be attacked and pirated.

It's hard for me to explain all of the things in the game, but I can say one thing for sure. The learning curve is quite steep. I suggest asking for help from someone in the game because the community is very nice (Just by communicating with others in a friendly fashion I was given $1 million by another player) and reading through the "starpedia" because the tutorial isn't really that good. I hope you guys enjoy the game and spend countless hours playing it like some of the other dedicated users. Just don't fret about not knowing something or loosing your first colony or something, some of the people that play are really quite good at pirating or invading an enemy owned colony/planet.

Haha, It's pretty hard not to love this game. I'm so addicted and I've only been playing for a few days.

Hopefully I see you ingame soon. :D

Double post:
If anyone is interested in this game and wants to try it out, or if you already play the game, I have started a corporation in the main server most people go to. Just PM me if you would like to join and I'll give you the corp's pass.

Man. Creola, you need to save your fuel. :(

So is this like "Baby-EVE"?

How does one make money?

Creola · August 16, 2009, 11:45:22 PM

Fighting other players or npc's, Doing taxi missions or escort missions, buying/selling goods, Capturing planets, starting colonies, and more.

You can also trade goods and items your colony produces with other players for a hefty profit. Such as nukes and whatnot. Probably one of the most fun ways to make money would be forming a nice pirate corporation and possibly band together in a fleet. Then terrorize players throughout the galaxy. And steal their money.

In addition, there is a ship in the game that has a special "weapon" which dumps a players money and goods if they're in range. So you can attempt to pick it up and flee before they get it back.

Note: Anyone who is playing, beware your warp fuel levels. If it drops to around 400 - 500, your best bet is to get somewhere safe and log off, or get some spice to jettison it. (This produces fuel in the game, you can produce up to 500 gallons of warp fuel per day with this method)

Yesterday i was down to 4 gallons

Bisjac · August 17, 2009, 02:33:11 PM

is this like an RTS+MMOG?
note, real time? not phases or rounds or whatever some games use

Creola · August 17, 2009, 03:10:47 PM

Yes, it's fully real time. You can have as many people in a battle as you want.
