Country selection by player
In tournament style games I've read about you pick your country before the game starts based on a selection order. It would be nice to implement the feature on here for locked games.

How do you "leave" a game?
I've seen different games where it says "Left" on the player's line. I don't see where you can click that - there's a Pause / Cancel / Draw option, but no "Leave the game" option.

Can anyone tell me how this works?

Unpausing Games
Sorry, for the question (I'm new here), but how do you unpause games? We've all voted to pause, but when we try to vote to unpause it doesn't appear to register anyone's vote. Thanks for your help!

Have to say space combat is more fun then I thought it would be.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
17 Mar 13 UTC
The space battles I think, or is that not what you mean?
Also, I asked before but you haven't reacted yet I believe, so could you add me as a friend and maybe in your fleet?

And yes, that was what I meant. I like their space combat system as well. One of the best I've seen in an MMO game.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
17 Mar 13 UTC
Well, I've seen other things coming close but then that was the only thing, or at least the only good thing, in the game, here it's just a part of a huge game. That helps preventing it from being boring.

You guys do PvP/PvE a lot? I do that only when I have no other missions, which is quite often :)
Draugnar (0 DX)
17 Mar 13 UTC
PVE is the missions. Or do you meam just jumping into combats out in sector space which is quite enjoyable?

Are any of thos other space games multiplayer? I mean, I loved the Wing Commander series, but that was solo combat.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
17 Mar 13 UTC
I haven't tried the PVP yet. I want to get my bearings I'm PVE first.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
17 Mar 13 UTC
With PvE I meant the missions with multiple players fighting computers, it seems like the game means it like that too...

About the other space games: they're all dead these days, and they're multiplayer (PvP only) so they are pretty much unplayable...

Haven't tried PvP yet either...
Celticfox (100 D(B))
17 Mar 13 UTC
STO has the kind of space fights I wish SWTOR had.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
17 Mar 13 UTC
Don't know STO or SWTOR I think, don't know where they stand for..
steephie22 (182 D(S))
17 Mar 13 UTC
But Draugnar, surely you've tried PvP by now? Is it any good?
Also, I found out you can raise the difficulty which would also increase rewards and - not sure about this one - items from dead guys. Is that worth the trouble? Is it more fun? Draugnar?

STO = Star Trek Online SWTOR = Star Wars the Old Republic (Star Wars MMO)
Draugnar (0 DX)
17 Mar 13 UTC
Not PVP. I have always been a cooperative type player in MMOs. And yeah,CF, if SWOTR had spacd combat like STO, I'd still have my account there. How they thought Star Wars would be OK with arcade target practice and not free will space flight I'll never know.

Is this one still about psychoanalysis?

Yesterday I woke up early. Spent half an hour stretching and practicing Taekwondo kicking drills. Then invited a friend to spar with me (about twenty minutes worth). He's a 6th degree black belt in TKD and a 5th degree black belt in Aikido. I felt really good about landing a couple of kicks on him and a double block/puch combo that worked particularly well. I then went out for a 25 mile bike ride.

This morning I got up for church and felt fine until my back reminded me that I'm nearly 46, not 26 anymore. Ouch.

What do you guys do with tribbles? I've got 10 of them but there doesn't seem to be any point in having more than one... Is there something special about them I missed?
Also, is there any way to equip your bridge officers?
Draugnar (0 DX)
18 Mar 13 UTC
You can equip your bridge crew by looking at their status. Put extra tribbles on them but keep an eye out for special ones that buff you for an hour, not just abone time.buff.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
18 Mar 13 UTC
When I look at their status I can see they're wearing almost nothing but there is no inventory button or something with which I can equip them... Am I missing something?

Yep, then drag and drop or double clock depending on.the item.specifics. Also, any it.you coild.use like a shield, weapon, or body armo theu can to regardless of their rank. So you can put a captain level body armor on an.ensign as long as you are captain or above. My crew are capped at commanders but all have vice admiral gear.
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Also good to know. That explains why my guys sucked though, didn't know I could change their awful equipment :)

Games where people have left
I think it would be a good idea for the password to be removed for when someone has left a game and will make it easier for someone to take over a game. Additionally since the new person is at a disadvantage not knowing the situation they take over a reduced fee for entry. It is very frustrating when people leave a game or NMR so making it more viable for players to take over will keep games going rather than the players next to that country taking advantage like vultures which ruins the game.

Dragon's Dogma & Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch PS3 Games
If you are RPG gamers, you need to get these two games. If you need some games to play, you need to get these two games. They are excellent games. My Dragon's Dogma's pawn is Katarina (sorcerer). It would be awesome if there are people from webdip who can use her and upgrade her equipment. If you have an awesome pawn, post your name/id here and I will look into it.
