There is a game which was recently added to to the whitestick.co.uk site called Space Odicy, found at http://www.spaceo.net/ The game is a rather unique one. Basically, the idea is it's set far in the future where a massive galaxy wide war has destroyed most physical planets in the galaxy, leaving systems with stars and asteroid ruins and most humans, (plus various sorts of nasty alien monsters), flying around in giant space ships. In the game you take control of a mothership, a giant ship holding bio farms and other resources, and must design fleets for space combat, have supplies on an asteroid base and eventually build up your own space stations and mining facilities. There is no other way of saying it, the game is complex! basically you physically have to design every type of fleet you use, or else borrow designs from others, and add systems to the fleets individually. For this I'd strongly recommend you look at the guide and go through steps in detail since it takes you through how to design fleets etc. Also, note that the auto tutorial you get with the ship ai when you start the game isn't particularly adequate, (or at least I never found it such I got utterly stuck with it). There is a lot to do in the game, literally hundreds of npc missions, invasions by other alien races, indeed even to mine asteroids you need to blow up some robotic guardian fleets in the system. There is a markit for trading, and lots of things to build. The game is fully accessible, though has got a lot of things on screen, lables for stars are a little wonkey but I've contacted the developer and have been told they'll fix this (and judging by how quickly they got back to me I'm hoping it'll be soon). Now, for the bugbear that is on everyone's mind, ----- pvp. The bad news is yes, there certainly is pvp, you will get attacked and your fleets blown up by other players. Since however the game has so much growth, expantion and other! things to do besides attack other captains I asked the developers about this, (particularly since on their servers list I saw a so pve, aka players vs environment server). The developers told me that they're not accepting signups on the pve server as yet since they want more people on the main game, but they will be reopening it soon, (I've asked them to let me know when). So what I'm personally doing is logging in, getting used to completing isssions and designing ships, and will change to the pve server as soon as it is available, and if I get attacked, ---- well this is just learning how to play! So, if you like the idea of a complex space game with lots to do and lots of ways to expand, I'd recommend trying this one out, ---- especially since it seems there will be a no pvp option for the future. Oh, and also no captures! All the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
