trouble is, its a no refund blind auction. wether win or loose, cash is gone. over time you can still get some uridum items, but unless you keep this up for a couple weeks and play downtime hours (for trade/safety) you wont get a good getup. and after you sticked long enough with it, you have all the uridum stuff for credits except the goliath ship. enter battle and die in under 5 seconds no matter what. IF you spend the cash on it, you will be excatly as strong as everybody else. i stopped at the "hord credits for ingame las vegas". not worth it.

getting money is no problem, get some teribiumish (3rd ressource), up your skylab, get refineries and devliever prot and duri to your ship, its 20k per 100ton cargospace. keep uping the skylab, do quests and collect boxes in the meantime. a couple hours and you can up your gear with semprom, fly a nosrtomo or a bigboy fully armed with 2 sets of generators (shield/speed) and a couple drones with guns. and once you have all that, thats as far as you go unless you start spending uriduim (cash). you CAN get uridum stuff with credits via trade,

@11sert11 well sure, you CAN get the boxes. if you do a dozend start quests you can even get the startership, get a cloak and sollect boxes in X-2 and X-3 and make loads more then in X-1. issue still remains that a single enemy company ship crusies in X-1, killing all the <100$ players, even hunts the big spenders but doesnt get attacked by any of them. 90% of those still kill streuners and collect boxes even under fire, if they get hurt to much, return to base, rep and go collecting again, no matter the thread. if you have 100+ players MOVING in the sector and only 1-2 actually fights intruders... well, the suspicion is pretty clear.
at least in my time X-2 half of the players and X-3 and up most of the players actually do something.

Hey guys - we spoke to Bigpoint about the newbie killing issues, and they've disabled PvP in X-1 maps. Hopefully this will resolve it.

this has nothing to do with how good you are, this is about how much your willing to spend. so basically, may the wealthiest man win.

The game could almost be fun, but the core combat is pretty lame, and it's further muddled by having players with maxed-out ships ripping apart anyone that isn't. If you don't fork over cash for the game, you pretty much have to stay in the starter area and can't ever make a contribution to events. At least, you CAN get Uridium in game, so if you're willing to farm for ten years (and don't die at all in that time) you can get enough to actually be a match for the people who just fork over money. Bottom line, if you don't like paying $100 for a flash game that is mediocre in its finest moments, then don't even bother, you'll just be cannon fodder for the people that did.

Barkay, its not bots for Bonus boxes, its all about ship speed, i gave my BigBoy full Configuration of speed Gens and now its not that hard to get the boxes even in a heavilly trafiked area

@cryeagle5 If your ship gets destroyed by anything, you can buy another totally FREE ship (the one you start off with) in the hangar, or you can pay for a repair with 500 Uridium, if you have no Uridium you can always purchase some, but it costs real life money which im guessing you wouldn't want to part with (I wouldn't either for this game)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I hope this game will be shut down, because a guy in the best ship, with all the best equipment killed me, and now i can't afford to repair. This game basically sucks hard.

also, there are tons of bot farmers around, especially in the X-1 maps and mostly cloaked.
so unless you go into the X-2 and X-3 maps, you cant even boost yourself with bonus boxes.
this games fails on its dependency on uridum which you only really get in an usable amount by buying it for cash, that there is no chance to survive or outrun a PK, and the issue that 90 out of 100 ships in X-1 arent actively played - they continusly kill streuners and collect bonus boxes whitout ever careing about the enemy PC's shooting them or their allies.
1/5 for the basic concept of the game
0/5 for the economy system
0/5 for balancing players vs payers.

it looked quite enjoyable at start.
i get 200k every hour from my skylab, but in terms of firepower and survivability, there really is no point in playing at all unless your willing to spend quite a hump of real live money on uridum to get the biggest ships and best tech.
the degree to which you can upgrade with only creds and the little uridium you can find/farm is pretty limited unless you spend millions of creds in the trade section and have tons of luck.
trouble with that is, you bid and even if you dont win the bid, the cash is gone. basicly, grind and farm for a couple days to get a SLIM chance to eventually catch up to the uridum buyers in a few hundret hours of gameplay.
due to the speed at which high players (big spenders) can kill you and how much punishment they can take AND last but not least cant be outrun, going anywhere then a screen from the base is highly dangerous.

to the people saying "why are people complaining about player killers? just look at minimap and ignore them." well...you know what? you are totally right because: a.) my minimap can totally tell the difference between quest related npc ships and angry power players b.) I can see them but there's no way my own ship would ever ever show up on their minimap c.)my standard ship is So very much faster than their real money fueled generators d.) the minimap does not lag at all whatsoever so i can see what's coming from any direction. yup

i dont like most space games except for one star trek one. eve is fun online but it gets way to compicated and time consuming. but this. this is probably the worst browserbased spaceship game ive played so far. personally i like starfighter disputed galaxy a lot more. this game dosent have enough variety in ships. Its whoever has the biggest ship wins. and for these reasons i dont like the game. ill give it a 2/5 for still being decent enough to actually play

kopo12, all knowledge of game is useless if the big ship instakill you sooner or later on first two maps until you are out of uridium.

You guys don't respect this game. Yes, maybe I've sat here for about 30 minutes waiting for it to load, but its still a great game. Besides, it has a great part about it. Noobs who don't know what or how good the item they're buying is will fail and you can easily kill them. You need to spend your money wisely. And read the description you stupid people.

one word for this game: fail.
the even make tv adds for this game i germany. you'd think they'd have engough money to make a decent game out of it. but it just is a fail...

This game fails. There should be pvp modes or zones, so new players can actually leave the first map without being immediately destroyed and having to spend the Uridium stuff (which appears to be the games "real money" credit) to be resurrected.

YAY the good kongregate style for comments is finally here...
and why is kong advertising a bad game? they do too much faults last time...
this game sucks and the only way to get some money with it, is to spend some cash on it...
