I played it for awhile .. got into a decent corporation that had a few null system ops goin, was involved in some fleet actions.
Thing is . . IMHO it is mostly based around harvesting other players.
You stay in safe zones and it just burned me out.
You go into null system ops, bring friends, pack a lunch, and dont fly what you cant afford to lose.
*Very* PvP ..and I got tired of it fast.
UO had the same problems .. go mining in null systems, get harvested by some jerk.. same as mining ore in UO.
Fleet ops are ok ...but unlike Aces High, the amount you spend on your ship counts ..
..and the big corps go hunting with fleets built to take advantage of that in spades.
Yer either a baby seal or a clubber.. it gets old fast.
