Huh, seems this game is actually interesting now. Though my solo survival was nearly wrecked when an asteroid took out the med station at spawn. I only got my new one up with 2% energy left in my suit.

And weapons work now, so that's nice.

For a noob, turn meteors off.  Otherwise, fly into a nearby asteroid as soon as you can.  If you've made one of the starts that already has some large ships, you might be better off deconstructing parts of them and rebuilding a Heavy Armor bunker.

Is the PVP epic, or is it more like nerds playing hide and seek ?

I'd say it's not epic yet, but has the potential to be later.

...Though, I don't think I know any pvp game that couldn't be described as nerds playing hide and seek.


I'm interested in hosting again sometime, but I'm going to be out of the house tonight.
I'm also contemplating turning low frequency meteor strikes on my bay12 save. Since we're all huddled in an asteroid, I don't see that it'll make much difference though.

What chat are you using? Which group ? I will try to get together with everyone but I'm worried my router settings is making my game invisible.

Could it be your game settings? What online mode are you on?

I've actually not heard of anyone having pvp yet.  Actual combat would seem to be legit, as it's mainly your ship's maneuverability and armor vs the enemy's firepower.  Current dynamics seem to favor fighters for combat, but really encourage boarding the enemy and stealing their ship, because resources are a bit of a big deal.

I'm expecting to see ideal fleet design end up being individual fighters that strap themselves onto a mining barge with processing facilities and 1-2 mining shuttles.  Large ships are cool, but mostly present large targets.  Large-scale conflicts are likely going to be much more about stealth and having your important items be hidden, while able to throw disposable fighters out to combat the enemy.

The weapon reload mechanic comes into play too...I can see a flagship actually being run by a few people...not just one person with a big ship...similar to guns of icarus

So, this is by the people who did Miner Wars. Is it more crap?

Would it be top page of Other Games without any ranting, if it were crap?

[Aklyon]

Probably not. But the diablo thread has been up here before ;P

[dennislp3]

I never played miner wars...but this game seems to have its shit together for the most part...at least I haven't noticed any glaring atrocities

Having played a bit of survival, I'm not a fan of how it's balanced. Since there's not really things you can make -individual blocks that is- that are cool but you don't need, and there's a wide variety of resources, a basic ship pretty much uses every resource. There's not much of a sense of progression.

[dennislp3]

Given that this is the first rendition of it I imagine it will get altered in time...we will see I suppose...

Its what miner wars should've been.

As in its the game I actually bought when I preordered miner wars, I said I wasn't going to pay twice for the game...
...but I'm weak - damn you steam sales! DAMN YOU!

So, anyone want to pull up a server?  I think we could have an interesting setup if we split into teams, and have maybe 1-2 days to build ships, and then have a fight before having another 1-2 days to recoup, and keep repeating until something gives.

[dennislp3]

I was thinking something similar...I would love to do some sort of team game with this.
