New buyer, am pleased with game!

I bought Mercenary from GamersGate since I like the idea of an open sandbox style sci-fi game. I've played a game with a simular concept set in medieval times called "Mount and Blade" and was eager to try this one.

I have just started but really like the game so far. I'm in Olympus on the IDE quests. I was so excited when I finally managed to down four enemies that I half expected someone to yell at me "Great work, kid, don't get cocky!" :-D

One thing though, I still can't add custom music to the game without it crashing. I put some custom oggs I made from an old game I used to play called Starcon 2 in the /music folder but the game either locks up at the load after the "launch" button is pressed or when I use the stargates.

I have no idea of the bitrate that the oggs need to be at, could the developer tell us the bitrates and Hz of the oggs that are already in the game? Maybe that will get them to work better. I played with a number of settings but nothing seemed to help.

Anyway, I have to go get my courage up to do the escort quest. I'm still not very confident about fighting so i better go practice!

Welcome! I also played Mount & Blade and I can definitely see your comparisons. What sets this apart for me is the Multiplayer for the main game and not just battles. If you ever go online and see me in game hit me up. I'd be happy to fly around with you.
