A thread for the sci-fi space MMO Earth And Beyond. The last game developed by Westwood Studios and published by EA in 2002, quickly shut down in 2004.The MMOdventure is visiting this game for the next 2-3 weeks, come and check it out.We're playing through the net-7 Earth And Beyond emulator: https://www.net-7.org/#home>Emulator and Game Downloadhttps://www.net-7.org/#downloads>Clanto be announced, name poll here:http://poal.me/ltopnf>Class Pollhttps://strawpoll.com/e6Z2AGjVGgN>MMOdventure thread>>3025148
On foot movement is incredibly jank, but its because its just ship navigation refitted
Here are the factions
>>3048581what do you call this pattern?
>>3048349Anyone managed to start it yet? How does the game looks like? How ugly the UI is?
how the fuck do you download this shit?
>>3048708In the faq theres a step by step guide
how do I play fullscreen
yeah, I'm going to try to fix it tomorrow, maybe.https://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=TroubleshootingIt works if I use my phone's connection via usb tethering.
>>3048787make sure your using your actual local IP it defaults to the wrong one in the launcher
I get the feeling this is going to be a repeat of Asherons Call, as there doesn't seem to be much room for party play
It tells me to run ebconfig to fix the resolution and I try to and nothing happens
>>3048826Run it as admin
>>3048826uninstalling this piece of shit in the next 10 minutes unless I can fix the resolution
>>3048830its not doing anything
>>3048840are you using windows 7?
>>3048867windows 10
>>3048902are you finishing the performance test too?
>>3048921what performance test? I just want to change the resolution and not play at 240p
>>3048933yes you run ebconfig, select your resolution, then click performance test, it does a quick test and then closes and you click ok and thats it(it isnt worth it)
>>3048938>I cant open ebconfig>hey anon heres a fix: open ebconfig
ai fixed it. go to e&bconfig.exe file, right click on it, properties, compatibility tab, click the checkbox that says run in compatibility, change to windows xp service pack 3. now it opens
I got in, Terran scout. I can't tell if the starting area is instanced or there's just nobody in yet/picked different race
pls migrate for the time being>>>/v/749452083>>>/v/749452083>>>/v/749452083
>>3048996will be starting tomorrow. what made you decide on scout? more cargo?
>>3049008yeaah I wanna hoard
>>3049006post the faq setup over there too so people know what to do
It's yet another multibox boomer graveyard
>>3049096it's a dead mmo duhh
>>3049008>>3049009What? Terran Scout has no cargo space.
>>3049109then i picked wrong oh well :D
I dunno, I'm kind of vibing with it. I spent the last hour just mining asteroids and upgrading my ship.
is literally anyone playing this? I've not seen anyone. is this the lowest turnout of any game in project history
>>3049833give anons some time to go through the retarded installation and the tutorial. I'm at 6/13 and tapping out for the night.
Seems like I avoided the tranny janny's axe for now>>3048796thank you, it worked.
message if you can find me
other players confirmed visible in world
>browsing vendor in base>HYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My ship didn't get deleted, the janny must be asleep.
Guild creation requirements are 10k credits, level 15 and a full group (should be 6 people). This might be our toughest challenge yet.
>>3050111Nice ship name.
Game needs more radio chatter, just the music while you do a long warp chain is boring
why did everyone vote this
Server is absolutely fucked too
Anyone else having extreme lag at the moment? It's like I'm playing with 10000 ping.
>>3051055Yeah started when I was warping somewhere, got stuck in the initialising part and then 10 second salter dumped out. Seems to happen regularly, anytime I board the main station its a 50/50 if I get stuck in a loading screen.
server cant handle 20 players im getting insane delay on every action
>>3050904thanks spacedoc
>>3051038Better question is: why didn't we do more research on this server?
>>3051154>vote based off available servers and not whatever sounds coolWe don't do that here.
>>3051154Why didn't you?
>>3051154Wasn't this the only server? We didn't even vote, we just picked this one
>>3051183I didn't vote for it
>>3051154>why didn't we>wenigger there isn't any other server. why can't you afford a google search
warrior's the best, as usual
>>3051815Every NPC shittalks me because I went the Explorer version of the Progen.>oh yeah you want stealth? Try turning your engines off
>>3051815Damn, I'm learning about compassion and honor and all over here in weebtown.
>open gate between star systems>hear the screams of the damned screech from the portalUh...
is this just going to be another asheron's call where none of us interact with eachother for two weeks
>>3051899add imvu to the voting list and i'll 'interact' with you all day nona
>>3051904yay :D
>>3051873There's sound in space? Or is this like 40k chaos affecting sound systems somehow?
>>3051940Are you even playing this game?
>>3051943nobody is
>>3051962a handful of us are, go back to the other thread to doompost
>>3051943I played it when it came out. Played the earth ranger ship thing. Use to kite those big monsters to death.
so glad we kicked out the sociable "clique" so that all remains are anti social solo grinders
>>3051982except desu was always playing by himself rushing to max and burning out
>>3051982can you shitpost in the main thread anti-clique schizo
i only played rose with you guys and then i got sick and had to stop why am i being bullied
>>3051899All you had to do was shill the game you wanted to win, but you DIDNT
It's not unique for various private server mmorpgs to be camped by schizos. Just sucks if there's legit interest (and the private servers aren't run by trannies), they come to these dudes. Anyways last time I played there was some gate opened to a special place filled with monsters on the otherside. Was that one of the last events? I think Tada-O opened it.
>game freezes>can't close it>can't find the process in task manager to close it
>>3052235i've had to force close the game 10 or so times already for loading loops and complete UI freezes it's called main.exe or some shit
Where do you sell stuff? I need credits and I can't find any more quests.
>>3052292Any NPC trader will buy your stuff
>>3052292space stations (don't know if all) have an npc marketplace room. you can buy various ammo, weapons, upgrades etc and goods, which you can sell to other stations. If you hover each good, they tell you where they sell for most.

Well I reached level 15 but I'm too broke to create the clan. How are you anons holding up?
>>3052826I can't even play the fucking game.Did you bump into anyone else til now?
>>3052833I saw the trail of someone warping lmao.Why can't you play?
>>3052850Having issues with the login and character creation, games keeps crashing like a bitch
>>3051985You don't even know anything about that person because you don't play these games. You chose a random name from thread screencaps, schizo
>>3052826Are you the other Progen Sentinel I saw?
>>3052907nah, I'm a Jenquai Defender
Has anyone managed to land on Kailaasa? It just warps me to the sector gate and there's still a distance of 100k to the planet.
>>3053017somehow i doubt you can land on planets in this game
>>3053076You can land on planet japan, so that's why I was trying to land on all of them so far.Still trying to get 15k together to start the guild
>>3053087I have 52k, how come you are so low?
>>3053101I'm constantly getting distracted and dying on my quest to sell 10 units of unknown element samples. Repair costs are really high and I can't turn off auto-repair.
i struggled to make 3k in 2 hours of mining as JE, then hunted random shit for fun and got 10k worth of loot, combat seems to just give way more, at least at low leveli rerolled as PW and now that i'm out of tutorial zone i have 94k
>>3053110prospecting hulks gave me way more cash than mining, until i started crafting ore
How many people are actually playing right now? We can create the guild if we're 6.
>>3053228Should we meet up at earth or somewhere central
I think we should try for another /v/ thread>>3053251Do we need to be in the same place to group up?
>>3053261Oh I actually have no idea how grouping works
>>3053261If you want a /v/ thread just make one.Ideally you'd make them at prime time like 5PM EST though.
/v/ thread is up>>>/v/749516981>>>/v/749516981>>>/v/749516981>>>/v/749516981>>>/v/749516981
>>3053331uhm sisters... where are the posts?
We made a public channel, click the chat tab and join our private channel. Name 100, password rage.
this game is strangely addicting because its so basic once you start to understand it
>>3054230its definitely a good second monitor game, I've been cracking asteroids and watching youtube for the last hour or so.
can anyone log in? we're 5, we need 1 to create the guild
>>3056777is it up?
>>3057228yes it is. need an invite?pm >>749571241 or come in channel 100 (pw rage)
>>3057238sorry my bad, didn't notice this was the /vm/ thread.>>>/v/749571241
It'd be a great game to play while watching ponies but it crashes every time you tab out for more than a minute.
for finding shit:enbmaps.dehttps://www.net-7.org/#database/tab-search-itemhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H5Yk1GsXnlq_fB1-ICK_MQUfmE-rwZdfWzzmnDd-rXQ/edit?gid=0#gid=0
hull upgrade fucked up my customization and removed the shiny bits on topgood thing i can pay 100k to change it!
tried moving trade goods, about 20% profit i guess
>>3058951traders have a skill that lets them get sell for more.other than that, I don't think that profit's a fixed amount.
>>3058951is the trade xp any good?
>>3059057it's ok. I'm level 10 and I get about 30% exp on a mercury trade routebtw, I just read this on the wiki>IMPORTANT: Always trade looted items to a Terran Tradesman first. You get significantly MORE trade xp than selling to a vendor or to another player (that is not a TT).so goyim, please give me all your looted items if you want trade xp :^)
>>3059073Seems like a tedious extra step.
There's not enough points to get everything. Higher levels of skill take more points to learn.
>Terran Tradesmen have access to an early-game trade run that allows them to level-up in trade XP via Trade Routes faster than other characters. The best run known, which works effectively until Trade Level 32, is Somerled -> Pluto & Charon -> Earth Station -> Somerled.The wiki didn't say which items to sell in pluto & charon, and the descriptions didn't help either because apparently pluto & charon is custom content.I've tried all the items in Somerled and the best one is Communications Arrays, for ~1k profit each.The route is:>Buy Communications Arrays in Somerled and sell them in Charon for ~1000 profit and 878 XP>Buy Castor Creature in Charon and sell to Earth for ~1250 profit and 971 XP>Buy Pet Food in Earth and sell to Somerled for ~90 profit and 89XPthis is way better than the mercury route I was previously doing.
>>3059228>eye vey.jpgI find this funnier than it should be.What trade level have you gotten to?
>>3059339trade level 13.
post suggestions
>>3059449I fit this >>3059228 to 128x128
Did we have any progen privateers, jenqquai explorers or jenquai seekers? Those are the only ones capable of making reactors.
>>3059466am i cooked?
>>3059494looks like that's the only classes not filled lmao. maybe we need to powerlevel a crafting slave, or beg the locals to do it.
>>3059599I started a privateer since it gets the skill earliest at 30.>>3059572If he sees through it he might just ban everyone in our guild.
>>3051873I haven't played much into the game and missed it when it came out, but Westwood used to link all of their original games together through lore and everything in every game is Einstein's fault for inventing time travel. No exceptions. I am guessing the screams are related to how Portals in their diablo clone, "Nox", just take you straight to hell to transport you anywhere.
also has anyone got any more messages from mr snuggly yet or whatever his name is or did he back off?
>>3059659he's probably busy groo... uhm moderating some discord channel
>Forfeit a quest because it doesnt give instructions on where to go so think I must have missed some important step in the dialogue hinting about its location>Cant reaccept quest once you forfeit them Im going to have to restart probably
>>3059997have you been clicking the quests in your mission log to pop out with the details?
>>3060005Yes the only quest detail it gave was to find the man in the wreck but I traveled all over luna looking for it so it must be in another location?
>>3060005how else would he forfeit a quest?quest details are just shit
>>3060056Maybe see if the quest has a wiki entry?
>>3059997Honestly just look in the wiki. Some of the quests are pretty fucking obscure and the way shit works or sometimes doesn't makes it a bit jank to figure out so the wiki is nice for double checking that you are trying to do the right thing. If the npc wants an item, moving the item in your inventory can help update the quest state. If you gotta talk to an npc but can't, it can help to move away and move back in to range of them.
>>3060073>If you gotta talk to an npc but can't, it can help to move away and move back in to range of them.This in the context of talking to NPC ships in space.
The opening cutscene of this game is early 2000s kino. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwGbLVdQBig
>>3060151that is a 1995 tier halfassed no budget intro because EA https://youtu.be/a9OCaGFoQEU?t=31
>>3059494I'm a seeker.
The wiki is retarded sometimes, it told me I had to fly to some far off place to find a good mining spot for topaz, but that spot is shit and camped by roving CL50 enemies. Meanwhile there's a huge field of topaz in the safe starter area.

>>3048349westwood my beloved
I'm getting so many bugs today. Don't alt tab with the vendor open I guess.Anyone online in the guild? I need an inv for this privateer.
>>3060422Name?
>>3060428Got invited.
The constant disconnects are really eroding my enjoyment of the game
This planet has been through some shit.>>3060568It really is kind of a pain to get back in.
>>3060608
its so buggy today fix your shit boomer
I just got a mission with voice acting. the first one in 30 levels lmao
>icons are 16x16great game
>>3060787there's a progen NPC that always starts singing when you talk to him, i hate it
>>3060835I think you just need the skill on level 3 and then you need the components to make the thing and you can make them.There's some graphics quality settings.
I'll start playing just today. What class do we need most / what do we have less in the roster? I understand each ship brings unique passive skills so I'd prefer playing one we don't have yet.
>>3060862I don't think we have whatever the Jonqui fighter class is. We're set on Progen at thi spoint
>>3060862I think the only one we don't have is Jenqai explorer. Some people have alts so I don't know how much overlapping matters at this point.
>>3060862You can't even see what class people are in guild or friends list. Not really sure what exact classes we got. The poll probably isn't accurate. I made a privateer today and I'll try to stick with it.I think we have all manufacturing handled and someone had mining too.
>1/19Think I'll pass on this one.
>>3059572you guys are fucked there is no way that batshit insane christian tier server is going to let you make fun of ((THEM))
Anon gave me a prototype shield earlier today but I can make level 3 shields now that are better. Let me know if you guys need some. I can analyze some other type if jenguai dudes need and it should be of similar quality.
i cant fucking do anything because its been laggy and buggy fucking faggot boomer doesnt want us playing his game
>>3061991What kind of issues are you having? There was a troubleshooting thing in the wiki.I had some bugs earlier today getting stuck and having to close the game but since then it's been working fine.
>>3062028its like latency issues or lag but everything is taking a minute to go through or load. I barely escaped death because I couldnt warp because I couldnt click on anything
>>3062046have had to use task manager to force it to close on like 8 separate occasions now
This thing/quest scared the shit out of me as a kid. Also that one sector with the giant space grid, the oni and lore there gave me nightmares.
>>3062052I found that when it hangs there's an icon for the launcher in your taskbar you can right click on and close the program, instead of having to use task manager
>>3062059I came across some giant space ghosts earlier today. And a fucking pumpkin.
>>3062076>I found that when it hangs there's an icon for the launcher in your taskbar you can right click on and close the programI cant even do that nothing happens. I have to use task manager to force it to close. Im not allowed to play anymore because it keeps happening
>>3062147Did you set any compatibility mode for the game .exe?
It's pretty sick that the actual map changes depending on your class. Entire warp gates are enabled or disabled, you have completely different routes around the galaxy.
>>3062215no its been broken since the update yesterday its like they dont want us to play the game also restarting my character didnt allow me to reaccept the quest I forfeited on another character and the negotiation quest because I chose to be hostile instead of paying the ransom on the other character now Im attacked on this new character and cant negotiate with them again what a buggy mess of a game was enjoying it too but think Im going to have to call it quits here
>>3062404tried many different things and nothing fixes any of it. ever since the boomer took the server down yesterday the game has been broken
>>3062404sucks that we are going to lose one of the few playing but i completely understand, the constant DCs i suffer has been eroding my will to play too
getting stuck in loading screen every 20 minuteshow are the other 30 players coping with this?
>>3062915even their forums are laggy
>>3062915God knows how. Maybe it's particularly bad right now. I'll keep trying but it's miserable to play when you can spend 5 minutes playing and 3 minutes loading it back up (and the fucking volume gets cranked back up to maximum every time you shut it off).
why the FUCK are there gravity wells inbetween nav points?? not even shown on enbmaps
>>3062967Because there are upgrades / classes that let you go through gravity wells unimpeded. The map is actually designed in a really interesting way for an MMO.
bros... we're in
>>3063352HAHAHAHAHAHSnuggle's status: buckbroken
>>3063352Janny seems pretty oblivious.
>>3062967Just now I ran into a different one on Freya. Between nav gateway 2 and 3. Guess Freya just sucks.
>>3063352excellent, where do you change your ships look again?
>>3063953venus station customization terminalonly place i've ever seen it atdo we have a progen sentinel?there's a unique engine that drops in a PS-only area that reduces free warp cost to almost nothinghttps://net7wiki.bmsite.net/index.php?title=Idle_Hands
>>3063965>(very, very low drop chance)oh boy
>>3064060if you farm like 2-3 then trade them to someone with Build Engines, he can make these for everyone, assuming the analyze chance isn't terrible
>decal texture game updatelel
>>3063953>>3063965There's more stations that have them but not too many. I also came across a character customization terminal in Charon Cloister.>>3063965Wasn't someone a sentinel? I remember seeing that ship when we flew around in group.I wonder how much stuff like this is there. >>3064134He added our guild logo.
>>3064140>Wasn't someone a sentinel?I'm a sentinel so i'll have a look for that mob, but it says the drop is unique so I would need to trade it off each time it drops, can't really farm it up
>>3064197Even one might be enough to analyze unless uniques have some low chance.
Okay in 15 kills two of the idle hands engines dropped, but it's unique so I couldn't loot both. The mobs are actually decent enough Combat XP for me to farm so i don't mind farming if someone is near mars to hand off to until the analyzing succeeds
>>3064140ship & avatar ones found on inverness planet station
>>3064309Did anyone come to pick it up? I don't have engine building on my class.
>>3064533I'm dropping it off, but I can go farm up another if you need it
>>3064577I'm not in such a hurry. My current reactor runs the engine quite long. If we become able to craft them that's neat.
According to an admin, if you tick the Prototype Reorder box in the launcher the game shouldn't freeze as much on loadscreens, instead it just bumps you to the log in screen.
progress report: 16.67%
This looks like Halo
Started a new game account since it's so easy to try and fix my issues because I do want to keep playing this
>>3064760It's still broken and server hang ups.. wtf happened after 1 day of us starting the game and the admin seething and taking the server down temporarily its been messed up constantly
>see a space phoenix>an actual phoenix>it kicks my shit in
>>3065164There's some weird shit in space.
I got hit with a new bug. I was warping through a sector, tabbed out and when I tabbed in my ship was warping straight instead of following the path and the game was unresponsive similar to when I got stuck on vendors. The UI works but no button or input does anything to actually play the game.
>>3063352jesus christ it really is run by some 60 year old man
>>3065419Would not surprise me. Could very well be some dude who worked on the game and had access to the files when it got shut down.
>>3059599I made a jenquai explorer, I'll have a lot more time to be on soon.
Why these dudes carrying around Jonqler cumjars?

>>3068486the npc called me janquai even though i'm terranand yeah i'm in the guild
I turned this game into a korean grinder. There's this missile training nav on mars. Equip two level 1 missile launchers, bring hundreds of missiles and blow the level 6 drones up. It takes 2 missiles each so you one shot them. Took about 80 kills to go 10-11 and the next level is looking like about 100 kills. Pretty good xp at least until combat level 10. I'm sure the same concept applies to other locations but there's a lot of these drones there and they only take damage from missiles I think because it's a quest location for missile skill. Of course missiles have the benefit of long range and not giving a fuck about your facing. You just have to watch you're not firing an extra barrage if the target is far enough for the travel time to be longer than your reload.Now I'm left wondering if there are other places like this in the game and if higher tier missile launchers can keep up with enemy health scaling. Leveling each category starts to slow down quite a bit. Not sure how far I'm gonna get with this grind. Sucks that for weapons the more varied options are locked away at higher levels. There's some variance in the level 3 category at least.
>>3068669I forgot to add I made about 220k from selling the loot from about 200 kills.
crafted these for my scout, ammo stacks up to 100launcher:>III blackbox m22>III nebula black ML conduit>III proton powerlaunch proammo:>III mi mxm warhead>III ultra boost max>IV mi major missile framemats except for blackbox can be bought in early places like earth/saturn/mars, blackbox is sold in detention center (asteroid belt gamma) and adriel primeif you need this, bring me mats and i'll make them
>>3068859i'm also retarded and forgot to crop the image
>>3068859>blackbox is sold in detention centerYou can analyze it and make them with the build components skill. Looks like a nice launcher. Very high damage but also that energy drain. My level 3 reactor has like 400 energy.I was gonna go for level 3 guns once I can get the skill.
I had to look up quality on the wiki and turns out faction matters but also how many items you have crafted. Components and ammo don't count but all the parts you craft boost the quality of future stuff you make. Wiki only mentioned a ratio of 1% per 32 crafts for level 9 stuff. Seems to be lower for lower level stuff. I observed it working as I mass crafted some cheap launchers. My reputation between Earth and Mars made about a 15% difference.
what happens if you go into the hole
>>3069950It suggggs you in
>>3048349is this a pso2?
>>3070011What are you asking?
Friendship 7 in Glenn seems to be full of multiboxers
Also this area in Glenn which seems to be a space zoo has a bunch of "displays" that each gave me 1.5k exploration xp when i slowly flew past their cubes.
this game and its retarded warp path building
This game is a bit lacking in the progression side of things. It's like you're grinding to grind more. The big hull upgrade milestones are like whoa you got a new slot amazing. Doesn't help that the parts are mostly numerical upgrades. Far too many weapons that function the same as every other weapon in that category. Having no new ships to chase after really hurts.
>>3075646Hull upgrade changed my ship cosmetically (it looks worse now imho)
>>3075792and ship customization preview doesn't show upgraded hull so if you want to see how a part looks when upgraded you'll have to pay
>>3075792>>3075829Couldn't even let you pick if you wanted the upgraded version or not.. Lazy ass devs back in the day.

Tractor beam extension is real, I think I looted this from a lvl 1 trash mob in the progen starter area.

>>3077436I'm wondering if it works atop the prospecting tractor beam upgrades too
>>3077347I found one at level 1 but it was unique. I can loot at like 1.5k
Are we going to bother with photos today?

>>3105869won't be there, whoops.really enjoyed this game, kind of a shame it got axed so early. combat grind is brutal though, they don't fuck around with that.
enjoyed the game but got out by mid 2nd week. there is way too much downtime in the game. warping takes forever. having to constantly go back to hubs through loading screens to check for quests. its also harder if you dont multibox since you get all the benefits unless you want to grind the same quests over and over until your CL is 5 levels higher than the quest you need done else the bogeril quests will just spam missiles at you
So who someone who skipped, I'm curious: How was it overall? Thread was quiet during it and that usually means people like it, but I could be wrong.
>>3107535i couldn't stop falling asleep during the game so i quit after the photosmight be more fun if you multibox it, characters seem to end up pretty specialized with how little skillpoints you getfor example, you could make characters dedicated to crafting, then put them into formation with your main to share exp and maybe do trade routes and have the alts trade money to main, have TT to trade loot to for extra trade xp etc.but on this unstable fucking server you'd have to hope that one of your clients doesn't disconnect randomly so it's fucked
>>3107714So its more like one of those idle games that you have going on at the side, and play the long game with, rather than an intense play session kind of game?
>>3107723it would unironically be better if it was idle, but unfortunately you have to click on the gates manually since implementing a complete autopath system for whole galaxy map when warping within sector already has one would make too much senseexploration and trading require nothing but waiting until your ship goes from A to Bcombat is the most "intense" part, you could warp to a nav point surrounded by mobs and get killed while your warp is cooling downcombat xp scaling is linear, you get 100 less xp for every level you're above the enemy, with higher level parts it's pretty easy unless you picked the wrong character for it, then i hope you like clicking on asteroids and waiting for tractor beam to slowly drag loot to you (worst thing in the game)
And so ends our two weeks on Earth and Beyond, Wow what a turnout! Uranus was absolutely crammed full.
Puck, formerly sneed
Uranus is really big, but there's some sort of green gas coming from it?
Phew mining uranus really works up a sweat, time for a refreshing beverage back at the station.
Too much space gas got me feeling funny
Shiiiiiiiiii-
See you, space gamers.Till the next game.
pics turned out good! shame that only 2 of us showed up but ready to move onto the next game
>>3110040See you in Battleon!
>>3107535I played roughly the first week. It was an interesting trip but the game didn't really have what it takes to grab me for longer than that. The combat is really bad and weird for a space game. The ship parts are almost all the same just with minor numbers differences. Most weapons in a category (there's three types) are the same. It looked like there might be some slightly more interesting weapons as you get to higher levels but the combat grind got to be a bit too much for me to grind it out and see. If the combat itself were better I could see myself playing more. Overall a very halfbaked game that still had some charm that I didn't expect it to have. Initial very negative expression quickly turned into a mildly positive one. Like 6.5/10 as far as /mmod/ games I've played go. >>3110040Sorry. Usually after I stop playing I can't be bothered with the pictures.
>>3110040The game filtered me, sorry.
>>3113339>The ship parts are almost all the same just with minor numbers differences. Most weapons in a category (there's three types) are the sameThis isn't true really, there were three types of weapons, yes, but of those three types, projectiles, beam and missiles, each race has their own versions of them that did different things. Progen projectiles hit harder and boost damage, while Terran projectiles shoot faster and boost your engines, etc Not to mention the v'rix stuff. Then there's also the different types of attack damage, chemical, plasma, impact and others, which all affected enemies differently according to their resistances.There were also loads of interesting parts even at level 1, Progen Sentinels could get an engine that reduced warp energy to 0.1 so they could free warp forever. Certain reactors had on use affects like immobilizing enemies or recharging shields, etcCombat was easily the most disappointing part of the game though 100%
>>3115978I noticed that some of them had these effects but I can't say I felt any of it in the gameplay. Even the guns that fired burst fire didn't really make any difference. You got a somewhat buggy visual of a burst fire going out but the end result was dps.
