Shores of Hazeron - again! a free deep galactic MMO space game [Servers have been permanently shut - Games

I'd honestly recommend any player to start a new empire, once you got a moon base up you practically know everything you need to about the game.

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;41956219]On scale from Eve Online to Dwarf Fortress, how hard is this game to learn?[/QUOTE] I've never played EVE, but I've played DF. It's not that bad. There isn't a brick wall you have to scale before you get to the actual curve.

Yeah, I'm with Lijitsu, this isn't nearly as hard to learn as Dwarf Fortress.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/WSpre5N.jpg[/t] Finally replaced all the stock buildings with my own designs, and upped everything to metal construction. We motorbike now. [t]http://i.imgur.com/oujVvYg.jpg[/t] ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? IS THIS NOT WHY YOU ARE HERE?

The Mevian Dynasty is still taking members. Right now it has like ~5 other FP members. Password is chipsrox. In other news, I had to self-destruct my first ship ever because it didn't have an officer berth. Goddamnit.

Zombie, our two empires should make a coalition, itd be cool!

[QUOTE=lordoflard;41956827]Zombie, our two empires should make a coalition, itd be cool![/QUOTE] Why can't all the FP empires make a coalition? :(.

Facepunch empires should start an alliance. That would be cash and a lot better than everyone joining the "FP Empire"

You should probably look for an actual name that blends in with the game though. Naming an alliance after the forums just looks obnoxious.

This is a good idea, but we need to all converge on one star system for everyone to access.

[QUOTE=Fausty;41956609][T]http://i.imgur.com/G3PWH4I.jpg[/T] OH GOD PLEASE NO[/QUOTE] You guys would have this easymode now because you could deadhead with a full spaceship with rocket engines, infinite fuel, and ai navigation. I've done that with the vanilla rocket. You need to use those spare fuel cans. goml

Afromana's scout ship has a nice bridge.

[QUOTE=Angus725;41957178][url]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Videogame/ShoresOfHazeron[/url] Love this trope.[/QUOTE] If Shores of Hazeron always had this kind of persistence with everything that'd be absolutely amazing. That's really cool.

So I gave this game another shot and actually got further than "run around and kill shit" and I'm actually liking it. The controls took a bit of getting used to but I can see this wasting a lot of my time

[QUOTE=Angus725;41957178][url]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Videogame/ShoresOfHazeron[/url] Love this trope.[/QUOTE] So my privately owned BC-304, if I disappear for a few months and it happens to blow up, will I be able to get it back if the city it was tied to also disappears? Does anyone know the answer to this? I really don't want to lose it, reminds me of the good ol' days. (Also I don't have the designs for it :v:)

When I start out will I instantly be ground beneath the boot of someone vastly superior to me? Or can I hide out on some obscure moon and have a nice little oasis for myself? If I will be ground to dust instantly, then I want to join whatever coalition FP is in.

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;41957419]When I start out will I instantly be ground beneath the boot of someone vastly superior to me? Or can I hide out on some obscure moon and have a nice little oasis for myself?[/QUOTE] If you start your own empire, you pretty much have a 99.999% chance that you'll start on a world ages away from anything else. Not only that, but there's so many systems in Hazeron that if you need to get back to your homeworld, but don't have the co-ords, then you'll pretty much never find that place again.

speaking of relics, I left a TL24 corvette on a moon of some god-forsaken system, about a year or two ago. You can have it if you find it

I really want to colonize a moon around some gigantic gas giant, so I can see it constantly from the surface. Can I bombard things from orbit? Also, what kind of playerbase does this game have?

[QUOTE=mecaguy03;41957494] Can I bombard things from orbit? [/QUOTE] I'm not sure entirely with the new system. [QUOTE] Also, what kind of playerbase does this game have?[/QUOTE] There's plenty of non-FP players but I can't really make any generalizations about them. Player base is too small and lots of veterans have left as is.

It was at some syndicate shipyard with 1% health. I logged on simply because I noticed it in that character's mail (I was looking for something else) and decided to check it out. Had it repaired and left with it (after getting shot by another ship while I was repairing..) My character wasn't receiving any current mails, they were all from many months ago back when it had an officer. I believe ships only appear in mails when they blow up or if you have an officer aboard. I do wonder though, if you leave a ship on a moon, does it vanish? I know the system despawns after like two weeks or something of no activity, so wouldn't the ship? I had an old character that used to be on my homeworld, and a year later I logged back in and suddenly they were on an inferno planet.

So I sort of got a hang of the controls in the primeval world, but I want to join an empire before making my own. Who should I join?
