Thanks For All The Fish!

Post by LordNothing »

I have a confession to make, and no I'm not a dolphin, I've actually been spending my day off from work playing the Evochron Mercenary Demo.

This is an absolutely fantastic game, and I can't believe that it has been developed mostly by one person! Amazing, and I can't believe I've never heard of Starwraith before. Have you thought about approaching a digital software distributor like GOG (Good Old Games) for some of your older games like Conflict and Renegades? In any case, I'll be sure to spread the word!

So then, Vice, I'll be sending you my money sometime after New Years. Congratulations on the Evochron and Arvoch series.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! But I'm afraid I wont be jumping on MP right away, I'm still having trouble adjusting to the flight physics and the control system. I loose my way through the waypoints of races, I can't successfully enter into a planets atmosphere without burning up and dogfights are incredibly one sided. But that's half the fun, even if it's a little frustrating.

What really caught my attention to this game was the realistic physics, notably Newton's First Law of Motion (or Galileo's Law of Inertia if you like). After playing a tonne of space sims that acted like atmospheric flight sims minus gravity and baboon simplistic controls (I'm looking at you Freelancer), this has blown my mind away.

Once I have bought the game and had sufficient time to at least master basic flight, I'll be sure to join the chaos of MP!

It truly is a great sim.

I won't spoil anything for you here, but if you want pointers in how to pass a race, enter atmosphere
and other stuff, just send me a u2u/email and I'll help you out with whatever you need.

Hope to see you in MP soon. You'll get a lot of help there as well.;)

I second that, welcome to awesomeness!

Evochron is a very realistic simulation, based on RL physics, (theoretical) technology, etc. This is why it's clearly harder to get used to than any other sim I've played. I've been where you are right now, and even though right now you probably think you're a long way from it, after a little time you will get the hang of it all, and love it.

Hope to see you on MP sometime mate, although I'm not around much lately. MP is the best place to get help with whatever problem you might have, the people are awesome here. What would help you a lot would be to ask someone to give you some tips in combat techniques, this will prove very helpful for you in completing missions, especially the more difficult ones you will run into later on in the quest.

Have fun!

Welcome, My Lord! Or is it just Lord? Or just Nothing? :D

I know the feeling of waiting until you get a better feel for the game before hopping into multiplayer. Rest assured, there's no additional "stress" in multiplayer. The universe is huge, and nobody's gonna be looking over your shoulder as you learn how to fly.

I was at that point just recently, and since I decided to join multiplayer, I've been learning the game a lot faster. Everyone is more than happy to help with anything. And nobody's blown me up or anything. :D

Hope you continue to enjoy the game!
