New Pilot

Zero 1 · Post by **Zero 1** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 5:48 pm

I have been looking for an open ended space simulator for quite some time, I never thought this independently made game would fulfill my expectations and then some.
Been playing for a few days now, just mining and running small contracts, occasionally attacking ships with valuable cargo. The backdrops are gorgeous and the seamless planetary entry/exit is very impressive, playing with a 360 controller (using Xpadder) and the keyboard, the whole overall feel is great.. once I get my ship upgraded some more I'll jump online, I hear the welcoming parties can be rough in Babylon

So far one of the greatest games I've jumped into, props to the developer, incredible work.

Welcome to EL and the forums, Zero 1! Hope to see you in MP soon. Some of the welcoming parties are rough, but for the most part the pilots are very agreeable around here unless you start instigating them.

Hello Zero 1, Babylon 5 is the talking server and is a no rules server so be wary and have fun. There are some other servers up but not with the crowd that Babylon has. welcome to the forum and the Sim. See you out there sometime.

Hi Zero 1, welcome to the Game and Forum, there are only about five bad welcoming parties, Clan [BA], Clan [TER], Romulan, Vonari and the regular AI (Artificial Intelligence) hostiles...Hope to see you out there....

Woohoo a fellow X360 Xpadder pilot! My profile is so good I never have to use the keyboard. Master the Sets.

We are quite nice really. At least we let you know when we are looking to blow you out of the sky. There are others out there they are not that courtious!

On behalf of Clan BA, welcome.

I also use 360 pad and xpadder but have yet to find a flight style that I like. Could you guys post your profiles so I can try them out?

So happy to find such a great game btw!

Thanks for all the welcomes. MP is great so far, thanks Phalanx and Raven who have been helping me out in the Sierra Warzone. Got my military frame last week, a Wraith, switching from a Phoenix. That has been fun, but I have not been able to play much in the past few days, work is catching up.

As for my xpadder profile, left analog is set as the joystick already, pushing down will use countermeasures. The right analog controls the strafing, pressing down will toggle the inertial system. Up and down on the D pad control the throttle, left is boost energy to shield and right is to boost energy to weapons. L and R triggers are set for rolling. The L bumper is secondary weapons, R is primary weapons. A is afterburner, Y is reverse engine thrust, B is target nearest ship, X is target next ship. Select is tractor/mining beam and start is pause. I still have to use to keyboard for unlisted functions. A work in progress as I keep playing, it seems that it will change as your style and skill changes.

No problem Zero 1, anytime I can be of assistance let me know. And welcome to the game.

Welcome to Evochron Zero! Oh, and remember to watch out for the Borg. And me and if I'm in an overly friendly mood.

Had my first PvP encounters last night, with two Borg...

That was very fun, thanks for the dogfights.

Not sure, I was actually pretty blazed

Maybe "0 of 12" or "8 of 4" recall..

Exploring Vonari space now, looking for that hidden alliance station mentioned in the system info, but only found a constructor station in the nebula. Any clues to its location?
