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...

This game is pointless and stupid. Whoever is willing to waste the most money has the biggest advantage, and it supports a system where people can freely go and kill whoever the hell they want, and that person is then crippled to the point of hardly being able to even play it any more. On top of that, it's bog standard, with no skill required to play at all, and it's boring. 1/5

dont see why you guys are even complaining. this is a great game (in my opinion) and I dont have any problems with this "big ship" that you talk about, usually cuz I actually try to AVOID it.

IF you ask me, don't play this game. Anything by BigPoint is always having a character that walks/flies around, breaks open crates, collects the stuff, does grinding quests, and fights other people. The worst part? It's another one of those freaking games where you have to pay for it. I mean, come on! This site even says "Play ______, a free game on Kongregate" Sure it's free to play, but not the whole version. Also like many others said there's no newbie protection or any of that crap needed to make a good mmo. Stick to independent developers.

Quite good idea and design totally wasted by poor gameplay with lame power players killing anyone at sight. Wouldn't spend a cent on it, because it's kind of games I call "pay us more or fight with stick".

your all idiots the GIANT SPACESHIP is called a Goliath ... and if u want to play it GO TO DARKORBIT.COM ITS A BETTER VERISON

plus, it is SUPPOSED to be there. it isnt there just to kill you if you just started. Just as an obstacle to your mission.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
if you want to play this game for real, just go to www.darkorbit.com and join the usa servers, west or east, global(USA) if you want a lot of people to play against, join global, smaller communities in west and east, but this is pretty much an old server and there are more you can join at said link.
And it is not that bad of a game. Sure, theres a lot of $ involved if you want to be a top player(compensating), but just read the DO bible and start shooting stuff in the lowers, level up and get to the uppers, gain credits and uri, pick up bonus boxes, and your gona get up there. But mostly i play for the clan i'm in, thats pretty much it. I don't even look at my rank or what my rank points say. Sorry for long comment. Hope you like the game ;)
