Hi everyone. I just found out about this game few days ago and it looks really amazing so far! I was wondering how many planets this game has to offer? 100? 1000? 10 000? more? Looks like I can't find this information anywhere or meaby it's just me that is noob with this kind of game and doesn't understand the ''language'' of it

. I just want to know how many hours of gameplay this game has to offer. Thank you for you help!

Hi Noami

Well I'mnot sure of the exact number of planets, but it is well over one hundred. Plus there are nebula, asteroid caves, stations and and more. Not sure of the actual gameplay hours, but I bought this game back in February and have logged well over a thousand hours from exploring, mining, fighting, mystery solving

, doing contracts. There's always something to do and the free multiplayer really helps bring EM to life

You won't find a whole lot of information outside of the forum, but http://evochron.junholt.se/ has some, but beware it's spoiler heavy

. You can also find videos on youtube. Hope that helps some!

I guess there is more than 1000 planets... not sure about that, but more than 1000 "objects" for sure
and dunno about playing hours

a lot

this world is open and large, lots of parameters but easy to deal with

there is so much uncharted systems to discover, trade routes to pave, unknown enigmas to solve or to die hard at trying so...

Thank you very much for the information and for this nice welcome! But another question just crossed my mind : Do you recommand playing multiplayer or singleplayer? What's the difference?

Btw, some review I read about EM said that another amazing thing about this game is the friendly community to play with!!!

I'm playing only in mp, on the german server

there is rules about mp and sp

mostly about constructions (stations) which not transfer from one to another (i guess, i maybe need to read again)
means what you build in mp stay in mp and what you build in sp stay in sp

as i do not change server yet i dont know at this time is what you build at one place on one server will be at same place on another server...

in mp you can find help with other players

in sp you play in your own universe and can do whatver you want, in mp you are on a server where maybe clans owns some stations or systems and so on, more interactivity

Hello Noami, others and myself have been playing for years so it depends on what you want as to how long game play will last. There are still things I have not done (or found a way to do them;)) There are hundreds of planets and systems to explore ( some systems may not have planets). SP is fun but MP is Great as you have other pilots to learn from and fly with and against (PVP) if wanted. For MP there are different servers (they can come and go) so right click on one and wait for it to check the server and let you know what pilots are on that server at that time. Welcome to the forum and the Sim. Have fun and hope to see you in Multi-Player sometime.

Hi Noami! - Welcome to the game and the community

There is a Hint&Tips guide for download on SeeJay's website:

http://evochron.junholt.se/menus/downloads.htm

It can be a spoiler but the contents pages are "live" so can just jump to the party you want to see - it cover the questions newbie's ask (How do I . . . . ? - Where can I find . . . ?) and has lots of tutorials and discussions

A pilot called Mecingo created some excellent tutorial videos - they are SeeJay's site as well

Mulitplayer = Singleplayer + Real Pilots that can answer questions and bring you gas if you run out.

Depends on your location, Galactica is in the UK and Starport 6 is in the US, also rightclick the server name to see who is online, then join the closest one or the one with players in it.
