This looks pretty awesome. I've played it before, ages ago. It might be good to start up a Bay12 Corp. After installing it and running it, it'll download and install a metric fuckton of patches before you can actually play.

Great game, best colonization system I've seen in an mmo. Always remember it and go back to it every once in a while. Not now, though.

I'm known as Toast on... some perma server. Can't remember which one. I attacked a colony that had no defences, made it my own, set up defences and now the original owner has attacked me over ten times. In the meantime, I'm running around the galaxy trading stuff and making shittons of money. I then went back to my colony, and logged off. He's probably taken it over again, by now. :(

This might hold me until hazeron works on my computer, thanks. :D

EDIT: Ok, I pissed a trader off, will he ever let me trade with him again?

I suggest starting up a corp on a rebang server shortly after it starts over. Then we could (theoretically) control the entire galaxy.

Traders will let you trade with them, after a few minutes of being pissed at you. Only problem with trading is that your favourite routes eventually dont work because the stations will become broke.

Are there any that'll reset soon, or that are new?

Ohnoes, RealID is coming to get me!




On a more serious note, this game is still going? Have there been any improvements? The screenshots seem the very same from like 10 years ago.

The graphics havent changed at all, really, and the gameplay is still kinda grindy. I can't remember exactly how it was when I first played, but it seems much easier to get going than before.

Me too. Are we going to make a corp? I'll play, need something to do while Hazeron (and my comp that can play Hazeron) are fixed.

the Pirate's Heyday rebang restarts tomorrow, or sometime soon anyway. (the current one ends at 4 PM today) Anyone want to make a Bay12 corp? (if not, just ignore this and I'll continue on by meself.)

I'm downloading it now so I'll help you.

Edit: Downloaded, so which server are we going on?
Just checked others posts, so how soon is rebang starting?

Idk, but Pirates Heyday is AWESOME. You start with $250,000 in hand instead of the default $5K (and in the bank, but I'd leave that there in case you lose your ship), so you can buy a better ship before you even leave Sol.

I'm also in The Old Republic, which is the classic mode map (before they put asteriods in), but we won't make any progress there, its a perma map and theres always lots of people in it

Until the rebang happens, I'd suggest joining Newbie or Beginner's Galaxy and learning how to fly/make money, I could join you there if you want.
