Question about multiplayer

Post by ConfederateGen »

Hello all

I just randomly found this series of games today :) it looks very interesting, I use to play elite a long time ago and still have elite gold somewhere around my house on 3.5" floppy lol

I noticed that there is multiplayer in this game, what I can't seem to find out is how multiplayer works, is it the normal universe with players playing in the whole galaxy like eve online or is it something smaller for just pvp

any answers to clarify this would be appreciated
Thankyou :)

Think SP but with players in it ;)

thats pretty much how it is, a couple of SP features are not available in MP, mainly the ability to hire3 a fleet, and your reputation is not effected by your actions. The rest of the game is the same :cool:

Also, if you're asking if there are PvE/Coop options in addition to PvP, yes.

Welcome aboard ConfederateGen.....I look forward to seeing you in Legends MP. After choosing your pilot click on the multiplayer key then click to find the servers running and Right click on each server to see who is on the server at that moment then left click the server you want to join....Cya in space.

"Good Flying and Enjoy" ;)

While we're at the subject...

How do I "link up" with other pilots in order to do coop missions? I tried NUM - on another MP pilot yesterday, but from my point of view nothing happened...

If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

all you need to do is be in the same sector when the contract is accepted, it'll tell you its been accepted give you the mission location and set your nav to there

If you want to link with another clan member (a human player who is at a red threat level), use numpad -. You will then be clan linked with that player and the rest of their clan and will indicate them as a green threat level.
