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

[Col. Buggernuts]

I sometimes wish pirates would spawn in systems inhabited and visited frequently by players so i'd have something to blow up and justify the expenditure on this ship.

[KamikazeZombie]

I don't even know what this shit is but man is it pretty

This is the flag of my empire which is my friends dnd character portrait, when i told him we're using that as the empire flag he said, why didnt you tell me and he draws this.

I really regret not calling it the Space Wizard Federation

[Dvohoritch]

Go to the forums and ask Ikkir to change the name and the flag.

Please tell me the goons have an SS13 station somewhere in space.

I will sink that station. Every. Single. Time.

So I got tired of using sub par materials. Using that handy dandy scouter app, I found a system that has at least tl24 worthy mats. I loaded my prototype LRISC-W class noncombat exploration and cargo vessel with the best technology and goods of my home world. Soon, I will have an entire system dedicated to the production of warp ships.

I have to admit though, colonizing an entire system myself will be tough, so if any of you kind folks would like to pitch in and lend a hand, I'd appreciate it.
P.s. if you do help, I'll give every participating empire tech and a ship, once they start coming off the assembly line!
I'm going to bed now. Hit me up in steam tommorow if yo j terested

[Jad Hinto]

So, it's probably been asked a million times over, but what are some good guides to follow to learn the ropes? Thinking about giving it a try.

[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;42048791]So, it's probably been asked a million times over, but what are some good guides to follow to learn the ropes? Thinking about giving it a try.[/QUOTE]

pretty much every guide and wiki is outdated, but there is this one:

[url]http://www.hazeron.com/software/HazeronTutorialByIkkirIsth.pdf[/url]

the best way to learn is just to take a stab at it and ask questions in galactic chat. people there are usually very nice and helpful.

[QUOTE=Daggoth;42047353]anyone wanna join my empire?[/QUOTE]

where do I sign?

[Daggoth]

[QUOTE=Xain777;42049002]where do I sign?[/QUOTE]

just send me a request if you already have a character. i'm sasuke marley in galactic chat.

if you don't know how to send me a request just double click on my name to open a private channel and i'll walk you through it.

if you don't have a character, it's an open empire so anyone can join

[QUOTE=Angus725;42027673]

Figured out a week long SoH design syllabus for anyone interested:

Lesson 1: history review
Lesson 2: techniques of design 1
Arbitrary design
Lesson 3: techniques of design 2
Single step trace
Lesson 4: techniques of design 3
Multi-step trace, iterative design
Lesson 5: techniques of design 4
Layered trace
Lesson 6: equipment, stats, and optimization
Lesson 7: conclusion, design challenge

Each lesson is roughly ~15 mins long.

Bonus for "enrolling": A copy of many of my designs's .ship files.[/QUOTE]

Update with more details here:

Will work on a video tutorial.........slowly. Life's been chaotic for me due to variety of reasons, (including real rocket science!)

[Daggoth]

meanwhile in the OG Kush Dope Smoker's Paradise, our first station is in orbit:

Why does this keep happening to me?!

[Xavith]

Right, I've got two stations set up orbiting two planets, can you actually transfer stuff from their hold, coming from the planet to your ship? Or will you just have to buy stuff through Hail>solicit thingy, or using an officer?

[paindoc]

I present to you what is soon to be the pride of the Trader Emergency Coalition's fleet: The Charybdis I
[IMG_THUMB]http://i.imgur.com/nKB6Mt8.jpg[/IMG_THUMB]
Serving as an intermediary between the resource intensive Charybdis II (which is cosmetically the same, but sacrifices speed and endurance for additional onboard facilities), it is the culmination of all the empires work so far

Fast, decently armored, and adequately armed, it is the first ship I have produced that isn't useless. It also has a several million kilometer range scanning system

Kind of a shitty picture in-editor, but it hasnt been built yet. Pretty fast, well armoured, armed, and I crammed as much usefulness into it as I could without it looking terrible or being a pain to navigate. Everything looks nice, and there is even some interior detail, especially in the engine room. I used small sensor rooms and sensor equipment as a sort of generic machinery.

[dracotonisamond]

so ive finally updated my station in orbit above my capital.
the previous one didnt have teleporters or weapons.

turns out you can fit a really angry main gun on something that doesnt need a big gravity drive.

edit
i also built a hauler for the micro-stations i am going to deploy at all my colonies.

getting tired of having to repair my ships from corrosion every time i visit my inferno colonies.

[Col. Buggernuts]

Server crashes just as I was monitoring my officer performing his first atmospheric harvesting mission :/
The bugger orbited the planet, the crew spouted a lot of gibberish, and left the planet without harvesting a damn thing. I cancelled the orders to land on the homeworld and sell the (non-existent) cargo, in an attempt to force them to harvest, and at that point the server stops responding :/

[editline]2nd September 2013[/editline]

Oh wait, server says it's up, but i'm stuck in limbo :/
What is there that I can do about it?

[Frander]

From what I've seen on youtube this game seems pretty laggy? Or like, movements are.

Is it still so on the current version? Been thinking of downloading this game and giving it a shot. But if there's one thing I can't stand it's laggy/slow movements etc.

:)

[Twistshock]

I just had a great idea on how to fuck with someone's colony:

Sell them a lot of high-tier condominium, apartment and house tech :v:

Don't even bother. Download the client solely to then burn it. You will not like this game.

You trying SoH would be like taking a car enthusiast to a car-compactor and telling him his car's been towed.

Doesn't work for exactly this reason.

Residence TL will probably increase health when orbital bombardment is added.

Haha, thank you for letting me know :) And what a great perspective, seeing as I'm also a car enthusiast :D

[Afromana]

The "movement lag" is just the lack of clientside prediction, so your movement request gets sent and processed by the server, and then you get your information back, and you move.

One gets used to it, and if you manage to get past that and the somewhat odd interface, it's a fun game.
You just gotta be a bit patient.

[Col. Buggernuts]

Been stuck in limbo nearly the whole day :c (well, since I started playing today)
Never going to try automatic atmosphere harvesting after that, that's for sure. My officer can go fuck himself on some desolate moon colony for all I care.
Only problem is the gas giant has ~100QL cryozine, while the frigid and solid planets have some in the low 70s. Looks like i'm going to have to colonise another system, and that means setting up an automated trade route via ship since airport terminals and brokers don't trade with other systems iirc.

[editline]2nd September 2013[/editline]

Seems my character sorted itself out. Finally got the automated cryozine harvesting sorted out.

Out of curiosity, will an officer-controlled ship automatically return to the nearest port to refuel if fuel drops below a certain percentage? I haven't got the harvesting times just right yet, and i'd rather not have to rescue the ship at some point if it runs out of fuel and the crew go all retarded.
