Anyone else played this? I currently am running through the tutorial missions in the 2-week trial, and it looks pretty cool. It's a spaceship MMORPG.

I've seen it being played .

mmorpg's just aren't my thing. And the combat didn't look interesting enough for me to get it. But they did have some cool stuff in that game.

It's very easy to do courier missions, AFAICT, because you just lock in the target, hit autopilot, and go back to browsing Poly it's *very* nice that the game runs in a (non-maximize) windowed mode.

My mate plays this. It looks cool, and no level treadmill (and you can train skills offline). However, you do seem to spend an awful amount of time mining, so you can get ships that, well, mine faster.

I've heard some good tales of piracy, fraud, and underhanded dealings that almost makes the game sound good. But then I've heard many more stories about staring an asteroid for hours on end while you mine.

That's why you don't actually stare... you go do something else in another window

[DrSpike]

Mine with a second account?

[Kuciwalker]

In your case, spam Poly.

Awsome! you don't even have to look at it to play? It sounds like it might even be more exciting than my system clock! Just imagine... all those enumbers steadily going up in the background while I completely ignore it. I can barely contaim my excitement just thinking about it!

I think he's talking about skipping the boring parts and concentrating on the good stuff... like Progress Quest, but with interesting stuff to look at.

I was in the beta but at the time, I just wasn't interested really, the game lacked that certain thing to really grab me. I suspect it has improved since then.

too bad you can't pay the monthly fee in another window.

Eventually, you'll find yourself wondering why you're working a virtual job.

[DrSpike]

A virtual job that you pay to work in.

Sounds like a book I just read.... Everyone in Silico.
