How far did they ever get with actual functionality? I remember digging out my old disks a couple of years back in case they got to the point where I could actually do what I used to, but that was still a ways off.

The closed test sim has cities and all that functional and they're just on the finishing end of a major year long overhaul to make the object system function more properly and usefully, from there I think it's not that far till the persistent test server goes up.

Good. More people seem to be interested.

I'll get the Steam version and start downloading today.

Bah, I don't have any way to even get a copy of it, sadly. I'm low on funds at the moment, and my higher morality keeps me from torrenting. My short Satanist friend (we'll call him Stanley) has also informed that if I were to ever consider it, he doesn't even know what sites can be trusted and which are a horrible myriad of viruses and porn.

In my experience the infamous pirate bay has been quite trustable, though obviously only download anything that has comments saying that it works or is from an otherwise trusted source.

Just use common sense when downloading anything from the internet and you'll do fine.

I'm pretty sure this is against the forum's TOS.

Interesting... what all did NGE change about galaxies? All I've heard is that it ruined the game, but never any details as to how.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

They made Jedi a starting class.

They removed most of the classes including an entire feature set unique to a specific set of classes that they removed entirely (animal trainers and and related classes/features).

They made the combat pseudo third person shooterish while removing several tactical aspects like the value of crouching and going prone.

They added hordes of new bugs.

They removed a bunch of features in general. 

That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

Don't forget they tried to make the sandbox game into a linear themepark, removed skill faced progression completely in favor of level based progression, made it so characters had to be dedicated crafters instead of mix-and-matching, and more.

So my game is set up.

What do you play/intend to play?
Which profession is needed for me to fill in?

[Tilla]

I recommend just playing around as much as you want right now - the game is far from finished and will be server wiped in the forseeable future. I always got a kick out of crafting stuff myself but it's all personal taste.

Only posting links is. At least that's what Toady said.

I'd play a hunter if I could get my computer to start.

Good, I'll start experimenting then.

What's this?
No tutorial. No manual. Mouse and arrow keys only.
Final Destination.

I have no idea how to control my character and navigate through the menues.
Could someone tell me at least how to "free" my mouse arrow, so I can click something outside of the center of the screen?
