hmm, last time I tried EVE trial I only saw HuntSmacker online from firstones. But if we got enough people to really creat a Firstones corp I'd be happy to join.
But I don't feel like getting into a game where I have to make new friends online.
past. i dropped it because i was just doing a grind fest. I was trying to get a bttle ship so I could mine without blowing up all the time (mining is boring as hell), but that means i would have to mine in something where i would get blown up all the time.
I reactivated my accounts a couple of months ago now. A lot of the AQM guys have gotten back into it. Im a director in a Corp called D.O.N. (Desciples of the Night) we have a pos in 0.0, we do lots and lots, and lots of combat. Its fun.
If any of you guys are interested, and what to get into pvp, give me a hollar in game and we can take you out and show you the ropes.
in game name is SpiritOne. We have a really small corp, but we do a lot of damage. Friday night we were flying through 0.0 space and we caught a carrier in a belt ratting. For about 45 minutes we fought it, killed all of its fighters (about 300 million worth), but we didnt have enough damage to break his armor tank. So when his reinforcements finally showed up, we gave up.
I've been enjoying the game called [URL=http://www.alliancewars.com]Alliance Wars[/URL] too long now...
It's a browser based, and reminds somewhat Planetarion... Only this one is free and still in beta -stage. Fear not, the game works but some of the races and features havent been coded fully yet.
The idea of the game is to gather a strong and active team and form a alliance. Then people start building technologies to produce mines, ships and troops.
You'll need a certain race to form a alliance, you'll need a certain race to have access to advaced scans (To see enemy fleet movements, alliance, etc), you'll need a certain race to have excellent quality troops and low attack ETA's... Every race has its good and bad sides, but if in the same alliance the bad sides are compensated with active playing and planning. Not one alliance cant win without good scans, or attacking.
The key to win are the mines:
Mines bring you income, and when the limit of buying mines becomes too expensive, you'll need to start attacking.
More mines you have, more ships&troops you can produce. How ever, if your alliance/planet isnt strong enough, some other player/alliance may come and steal the precious mines you have. For example, if you attack your target, nothing prevents his alliance retalling you or your alliance with large scale.
Like I was attacking one good target with mines, in the end I saw myself being attacked by several people... But because of active alliance, the battle on my planet was defended well and enemy was destroyed. This also enabled my alliance to launch counter attacks to destroyed attackers planet, because their fleet has suffered tremendous damage.
The game is tick based, as most of the browser based games. Fleet movement happens at :00 and battles are fought at :30. Travel times of attacking and defending vary from 13 hours to 4 hours, depending how far you are in the universe and what kind of travel techonolgies you have. I've been awake too many times at 2-4am, just to send defence to alliance mate or check how is the battle going..
Addictive, eh...
This round is pretty much over tho, my alliance is pwning hard as it is meant to... But nothing prevents you from creating an account and test the game..
And because its under develompent, you might be able to give your own thoughts to the Dev.team how you see things. One of them is a bastard, but dont let him depress you...
Maybe Firstones shall return to rule the galaxy once again...
Go ahead and try.
