Looks nice. Going to sign up for the beta.
Also hoping you can fly massive ships, not just fighter tier.
am I the only one ctrl+f4-ing instantly if a game is f2p?
I'm not saying that's clever, or cool, it's simply what I do.

Not sure the trouble your having with the captcha, it seems to just be a number in a picture followed by a space then by the word. Or is it something completely different for you?
Also, this looks like it could be a great deal of fun.
Uh the fact that I entered (correctly) several times and it kept denying. Seems they fixed it now.
at the official website, where do I have to click to get into the beta? :D

You are wrong, F2P games can be good too. For example, Tribes Ascend is very good, and paying dudes only get double xp, no overpowered items for money and shit like that. Most of the F2P games are really shit though.
Yeah, not like you have to grid weeks or months for casual players to get enough exp for some of the weapons...Which you can easily buy for gold.
Tribes ascend is an example of nice to play for free, but it´s not the best example in terms of how paying for things should work.
Paying almost 10 euro for 1 weapon?Really?Hell no.
On the other hand, that weapon costs like a bazillion exp, so either grind your ass off like a chinese whore or buy it.
The best example of Free to play atm is World of tanks imo.
If you play WoT like that for 3-4 months, you will have "what you want", too.
You simply cant buy "the op shit" in WoT.The Gold tanks are mostly rather mediocre, with a few exceptions, but no OP stuff.Gold ammo is rarely used because it costs too much for what it gives you in benefits.It rarely has any effect on the game at all.
I agree that the gameplay itself on tribes is a bit more skill-based, but that´s due to the natures of the games, not because of bought advantages.
I can invest a lot in Tribes and bomb the shit out of anyone with 100s dfferent weapons like plasma and such, and I can do the same in WoT.Will that make me superior to skilled players?No.
It´s just the same with Tribes and Gold players.
I dont play it often enough to know exactly which weapons are very good and which are not, but I have had a few encounters and I know guys who play it every day a lot.
A skilled Player who bought a Plasma gun for his raider or whatever can make a big difference just as a WoT player with gold ammo can do.
Btw, Gold ammo ONLY increases Penetration on guns, not damage.Meaning that the only real difference is in lower tier battles, when there are tanks that arent really able to hurt some others, and if people are noobs who cant aim.
Every tank has his weakspot, and you dont need gold ammo to penetrate there.
Gold ammo is pretty much useless to skilled players due to this.
Did you buy gold in tribes to gain vip status?
If no, try grinding to the plasma gun, or any good gun for that instance.It will be hard.
In WoT, you can get a marginal advantage by buying it, which is so small pretty much nobody uses it.
Tribes is all profiled for either heavy grind or having to pay a lot to get what you want.
in WoT, you can easily play totally without buying, and you will have most of the content relatively soon.In Tribes, you either need to play a lot or really long to get a small part of content, or pay horrendous amounts of money.
There is pretty much at all time a test client with test servers online.You get like 10 times the exp and credits(or more, dont know exactly)per match there and start with 15000 gold.
So you CAN test tanks.
Also, if you have the time, you can grind to most tanks in a week or two, too.
The only thing you are hanging yourself up on right now is the thing with the gold ammo, which only gives ridiculously low advantages.But other than Hi-rez Studios, Wargaming doesnt demand sky-high prices for basic items...Seriously, almost 10 euro for a weapon?I still cant get over it.
If I am a rich spoiled brat I just buy a lot of gold in WoT , convert it to xp, then buy the best tank and gold ammo, it's not different an
You need to earn the exp first nonetheless.You cant magically fashion exp out of nowhere with gold, you can only convert exp on Elite Status vehicles(Fully researched)for gold to free exp.
But it seems we are just fans of different systems in this thing, so lets end this non-moving discussion with a friendly "To each his own " :)

I'm disappointed, I thought perhaps some one had gotten in the beta and was discussing a few things they where allowed to discuss. Instead it's just arguing over completely unrelated games. Least the argument ended civilly.
Anyone get in to the beta yet? They seem to hand out access fairly regularly.
I'm hoping the combat is at least as good as Freespace 2, if not better...
After that was shut a lot of server disappeared (Mostly because nobody knew about them anymore.), along with a very good server where I and Christo played.
Judging by the controls and the view in the video, the combat will be like in Freelancer (Which is very similiar to Freespace 1-2 fighting, just 3rd person, but you had first person in Freelancer too.) so imo the combat will be EPIC GOOD. I hope. I played Freelancer multiplayer a lot in the old times when there was an offical server (Which just showed other servers, but it was very useful). After that was shut a lot of server disappeared (Mostly because nobody knew about them anymore.), along with a very good server where I and Christo played.
I'll be honest here, I simply hate people, game companies or any fucking living being that calls normal ONLINE games an "MMO". I hate them with a passion. And this is just the case here - the game is supposed to be an MMO, hell it even says so on their front page... but the second you log in you notice it's just a normal "room" based online multiplayer game.
Yes that's right, it has a "lobby" where you set your ship up, equip it and then join an instanced match of specific gamemode (ala team death match, etc). And that's pretty much all there is.
The gameplay is very very similar to Black Prophecy. The graphics are quite nice tho, have to give them that.
As for the rest, heh can't fool me with the "MMO" tag. It's not an MMO.
There is no free roam so fuck. Freelancer multi is still better despite the fact that 90% of the playerbase is dead xD. There are still alive good servers though.
Seems that is so, least the game is still pretty fun for what it is.Btw, which side did you gents choose?
Edit: NM, ignore that last part there!
So I'm already bored of this, it's like WoT in space pretty much. Least the combat was more interesting.
Well yeah, because space sim fans have basically shown that they are still interested in games in this genre... what's your point?
Okay, so i downloaded it off steam in like 5 minutes (love my connection), got past the confusing menus and had a match or two in this.
First impressions - this game is(click to show/hide)
