Too much political talk here, let see what kind of nation you can make, and how to manage it (day after day) Nationstates! The federation of the Epsilons - just created.

OMFG!

can't access it .. is it the thing that guess which card you picked or something?

quote:Originally posted by Menchise: quote:Granted.. the demo is cheesy but hey! thats the demo for you.. DO NOT diss a game or comment on a game just because of the demo, prime reason why I don't judge a game untill I've played through it.The whole point of playing a demo is to help one decide if the game is worth buying. The only reason why I got games like Deus Ex and Mafia was because I was impressed by the demos. The full games impressed me even more. If a demo is trash, it is more likely that the full game will suck even more, because it has ten times the trash of the demo. It is uncommon for a good game to have a demo that puts people off buying it. I haven't played the Freelancer demo yet, but I will not touch Freelancer with a ten metre pole if the demo disappoints me, despite waiting years for its release. Right on! That's EXACTLY what I think about demos.

- I'd also like to be able to capture starbases and other ground bases - I'd like to be able to hyperjump to waypoints. This is pretty important IMO [ 02-25-2003, 03:02 PM: Message edited by: Epsilon 5 ]

Well [bleep] with Activision, they screwed up many games before, such as Battlezone 2, I used to think they were a good publisher but they are like every money-grubbing corporation where only numbers matter.

Of course you can guess I want all the stuff you already said (point 3 and 5 are less important IMO), - 1 thing I would like that wasn't said before is some way to send your crew into classes while docked so they get more AI points (at a cost) Afterall, everyone likes to go to school! - Would also be interesting to be able to own several ships with several crews, which you park at stations. You could only use 1 at a time, and the crew in the idle ship(s) would still need to be fed. That would only be a bonus, but depending on your objective some ships are better suited for the job than others, and it would make things most certainly different.

the freelancer community seems disappointed, from the looks of it they just play to relieve the heart pumping from years of hype, and it will die down quick.

I believe this thread isn't in the wrong place. would have fitted in newbie discussion but this section is as good. but I can't help

I don't have any bill to pay and I only have 1 account to check .. so online banking is useless to me

If there's alot of people on the server it's hard to follow everything, and as sad as it is if you start banning every trouble maker around you'll lose alot of money AND you'll get a bad reputation (!), the game will be called a "carebear" game/server. Pay attention. Nobody was talking about BCO. He did mention BCO 2 times, enuff for me And I am curious anyway on how you will deal with griefers in BCO.

For BCO is will depend on the amount of people there is. If there's alot of people on the server it's hard to follow everything, and as sad as it is if you start banning every trouble maker around you'll lose alot of money AND you'll get a bad reputation (!), the game will be called a "carebear" game/server. But the main issues revolves around the player killing possibilities. Can you, random Joe Blow, go and kill everything you want? Is there a way to play normally without going out of safe zones? It doesn't matter if someone will never be able to go neat a city anymore, some people LOVE to be jerks. They become popular and they enjoy it. If I, crap pvper, don't want to deal with PVP, can I prevent myself from dying becasue of players? Can someone kill me and steal/destroy what I worked for an eternity to get? It's a tough choice. It's as bad as balancing issues. Even if you claim the game is a pvp-based game, without the passive crowd you lose many players, and most passive players do support roles which are essential to the game (In jumpgate you have traders, which keep stations stocked with equipment and in Neocron you have constructors/researchers and the hunters that kill warbots to get rare parts) Both Jumpgate and Neocron have that problem (griefing), and although you can have an implant in Neocron that prevents players from damaging you in any way, it,s very disadvantageous, since you get less money, exps, can't get in a clan and other people can't heal you with spells. On the Mightygames Jumpgate server (EU) they banned entire squads for being trouble makers. Result? the US players look at the EU like the USA look at France! Another issue about dealing with griefers is how to manage accidents. If attacking other players put you in a world of trouble, people that hit other players with large weapons by accident (I heard the story of people with rare rocket launchers kill 4 NPC merchants in a single shot during a pvp fight) shouldn't have to cope with the trouble. ...
