Errr multiplayer?

Post by moomin »

Hello everybody :)

I'm considering buying the game but i'd like to know what the multiplayer is like. Am i able to set up my own server? Or how does it work? I'm sorta hoping for a continuous world somewhere that actually keeps track of the heap of cash you all (or perhaps "we" :P) make.

See, I've read things about clan wars etc. But how does that take place? If a server's made by someone i wonder who decides who gets which type of ship etc. Why would a miner be usefull in a clan battle for example?

I've tried looking for information about this but haven't had much, if any, succes at all :P

Also! Please upload more media somewhere about the game. F.e. youtube etc. Epic battles and stuff :) Show it off!! Because now there's hardly any media at all before someone decides to just download the game to check it out himself. Then the tutorial seems kinda required so perhaps it's offputting :D

eitherways,.. Heyas all!! :D And hope someone is willing to answer my questions :)

Hi Moomin

http://www.youtube.com/user/Mecingo?ema ... ion_create

There are some EM vids on the link above. The R1 server is a continuous world that runs 24/7. Saves can be used across both SP and MP interchangeably. The kind of ship you have is entirely at your own discretion. A "mining" ship can easily be converted to a warship and vice versa. the game is very versatile in terms of ship type.

:cool: Player versus Player ... versus Player started out slowly but is becoming more popular as time goes by. Nonetheless, you can find ways to avoid any type of combat if you're willing to listen to some of the vets and follow very good advice. Be advised, though, that anyone who tells you it's safe in Sapphire is hedging his/her bets ... as was made quite clear today to one or two peaceful but surprised pilots.

Thanks!!

A follow up question: If saves are interchangable between SP and MP,... how has been made sure no-one "hacks" the savegame and screwing up MP gameplay?

Because i can imagine whoever has the coolest items or biggest heap of cash will have an advantage... So somoene who figures that out will be ruler i guess

hey Moomin. I don't know the technical details about hacks and whatnot, but its not really a problem as far as I know. Several of us have enough cash and rank to not need money ever again anyway.

ahh ok :D I just wanted to check there's not some unbalanced online experience going on there :)

So final question i guess; Does everybody here play multiplayer only? Or SP as well? if so, what's the advantage?

:cool: If you do the I.M.G. Quest, you'll need to do at least one contract in SP (you can't race against an AI in MP). And at least one guy only plays SP ('though he still posts at the forum). Others of us do some testing in SP but spend most of our gaming time on the R1 server ... if for no other reason than it's the only way to keep our territory from reverting back to no-man's-land.
