Hi anouk.
Well while the ultimate end of attacks is losing just parts of your
mothership and money, unfortunately this is a game where your fleets cost a
lot to build, thus having them destroyed by whoever attacks you can be bad
from that standpoint.
As I said though hopefully a none pvp option will be around soon.
Btw, I'm currently investigating another game by the same developers, it
looks actually even more my sort of thing since it's more you play as a
single ship and fly around the galaxy surveying new stars and such.
I'll let people know how that goes.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi Dark, Thanks a great deal for this info. I always love sci-fi based
games especially if they are totally text based.
I bought smugglers 5 a while back but found that a bit difficult because i
could not really make sense of the map (and now mostly run a mac anyway).
When you get attacked by other players will they be able to totally
destroy you or just steal some money or something like that?
thnx,
Greetings, Anouk,

Hi.
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.
