This has probably been asked. I searched but missed it.

If I have Evochron Mercenary, is there ANY reason to play any of the other games in the series?

:cool: You can play Legends for the quests ... which are different from that of Mercenary. And Arvoch Alliance is an entirely different game.

I have played some Arvoch Alliance, and I like the mission based structure. But I mean mainly the open space ones. Is Legends or Renegade a significant step backwards in features and stuff like that?

Mercenary is the latest, and the greatest, of the
open space games.

Legends might be a step back in eye candy but it does boast two quests which you won't find in Mercenary.

Thanks for the input. Other than some other quests, is the gameplay essentially the same then?

More to do in EM.

More contract types, more player made quests.
A Terrain Walker is added for planet exploration/contracts/PvP.
Gunner binding added. (2 players connected)

And tons of more systems to find/explore.
Planets rotate now.

Need I go on? ;-)

See ya in space.

:o Which reminds me ... about a week ago (maybe longer), Vice fixed a bug in the gunner binding. So, make sure you have the (patched) latest release.
