Wow what a game. It's incredible! The universe detail is spectacular and the game is a very good "smart" idea... hehehe
However there is always a little bad.... It's so darn hard!
I have been reading the manual and rereading and rereading again. I think things should be refined a little bit. It's obvious all the resources went into making the game and not the manual.:eek:
For example finding a drone and deploying it to a planet/ moon. Unless you are a rocket scientist you will stumble about this task profusely using only the manual and begin to think you don't have any drones at all to start with.
The game at times appears to me to be buggy. For example I got a hair somewhere's and thought I take on some big boy's. ;) They got me good. Stole one of my fighters and blew up 2 others. :mad:
Couldn't figure how to buy new ones so I thought they must be at a starbase? So I went to good ole Earth on a shuttle. Had the Mother parked close by too. WELL I Got out of the shuttle... heaven knows why? I started walking.... hey I was on Earth what could go wrong????
Everything! I wandered to far away and couldn't find my way back to either Ship!!! Oh no problem you might think... Good ole Tacops... right?
Wrongo'.... First I tried the shuttle... using tacops had a waypoint set right next to me "Ace Ventura" [um not the pet detective... ace the venturer" :D ] All it would do was fly by me and watch me wave.
Certainly I'd have better luck with "Mother" after all I got's me all those smart flight engineers on board and not dumb marines flying the shuttle about my head.
Wrong again... there kamakazzi's... well that's what I called em when they did a fly by and I self destructed their sorry Butts!
Now it's prisoners... Got me some fine dandy one's... you know the kind that love to break loose and cause all kinds of problems. How do I get rid of em? I looked in the manual and it tells me drop them at a star base. Hmmm I thought.... GavComHQ sounds like the place to drop this bad bunch.... [had 10 of em']
So It's a long trip to HQ from Lyrius. I get to HQ to drop them off go into tactical and go the the detention hold to get rid of them and none are in there. Ok, it must be automatic. You stop at a starbase and they take em from you. Right?
WRONG!!! I pulled away from base and I got sirens blaren that the prisoners have escaped. So I then pulled back to HQ and then the game crashed to the desktop. I must not have liked my idea????
If things like this can get worked out... made easier... you have definately got a winner!!!!
This has to be the hardest game I have ever played par none.
I could only imagine what would happen if this Game got mixed with Sim City... oh my??? would that be nuts or what???
oh and while I am at it...
Look in the CVD and in the NID so you can take that Marine to the DJP and..... A newcomer to the game has no idea what all that garble means. It should be explained better... the manual is very poor.
Plus I hate it when I buy a game that needs to be patched immediately. Especially when I patch it and it still seems buggy.
Other than that... I think this game ROCKS!
