Allegiance, anyone?

After reading Nick's article on this game I decided to don my spacesuit and take to deep space to see how good the game was. I wasn't dissapointed...

I was wondering if anyone else has joined the game since the article or if there is anyone on these forums who is a long time veteran of the game.

My callsign is Opportunity by the way, watch for me, heh

I tried to half-heartedly but I got lost trying to find the downloads section and instructions for use. Lazy and easily confused don't go well together, but if you care to show me the hows and whys I'd gladly join you.

It wasn't half-bad.

I tried playing it. The combat really turned my off, 'cos, IMO, the controls are very hard to use properly. I'd be screwed in actual combat. Hell, I gave up when the combat kicked. But, the premise seems alright.

Before you attempt to install the game itself you need to install the .NET Framework, thats here... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en

I don't think theres much more to it than that but tell me if you have problems...

The game has alot of depth and as Stompy says,the controls are very hard to use. It's got a very good community though and they were very patient with me as I learned, if you start on a newbie server everyones pretty much at your level anyway.

The controls are pretty standard for most space sims, with a couple of map, navigation, and cargo options thrown in, but with a joystick you can run and gun in the beginning pretty easily. I've played it on and off over the last few years whenever I have a gap in games I'm interested in playing. Just ask for help, most people tend to be pretty nice. But yea, you'll get owned in combat when you first start off, some people there are ridiculous.

I've played a few space sims in my time so the controls shouldn't be too bad. Unless this game is even more complex?
Thanks Kuneru.
