Game isn't so bad really, if you have a little patience, it is just unfortunate that it is still in beta and already dominated by the 'wallet warriors' who have pimped out their ships and prey on low level players.

I've just started playing this, quite a fan of the series. I'm dying a lot.. not respawning. any ideas?

I played about 15mins of the game, was really impressed with the graphics for a web browser game and didn't encounter any lag. However the nice the game is, it just wasn't one of those games that I would go out of my way to play

When you died I found I had to log out to re spawn.

This is a known bug and has happened to me, what should happen is that you get a choice of the two closest spawning points, but if for some reason it doesn't then jut log out and back in again and you'll find yourself at the closest station.

Biggest problem that I've seen with this game, and the one that is a gamebreaker for me, is the way that one minute you are flying along, a lowly level 4, in yer lowly level 4 spaceship, when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, you get jumped by a level 24, and you've got next to no chance..

As is mentioned on the BSG-O forums, other games by the same publisher, have been completely ruined by a small group of people, using their wallets to buy the biggest ships, with all the upgrades, and they go around making the game unplayable for everyone else.

BSG-O is still in open beta, and you can see this happening already..

Shame, it had potential.

That's happened to me a couple of times yesterday, just can't get away or 'jump' quick enough, best chance is to team up with a few other ships in your area. The game is quite enjoyable though, time will tell..

Looks very much like Black Prophecy in terms of ship to ship.

Anyone played both, compare the depth?

I presume it's not got the structured base of eve.

Really quite into this now. I'm a cylon on a the picon server and in the CK (Colonial Killers) wing, a lot of fun teaming up with 10+ players on a fleet assualt!
If anyone fancies a game or giving it a go, just give me a shout. It's still in beta but theyre improving it all the time.

I'm colonial on scorpia, an underdog, get squashed a lot by Snow's fleet of "we can pvp 24/7".. still having fun though..

Anyone still playing this?

I started it last week and it's good fun if you can find decent team mates, otherwise it can be a bit dull. Currently playing on Tauron as colonial.
