Yup but all the Multiplay stuff seems to be added on, and does not feel like the main part of the game, the game is heavily biased toward the single player, but then thats what BW do best.

I registered (basic signup with username and password) and downloading the client atm tho its got 4 large 1.1 or 1.5gb files so ill get rest tomorrow.
EU only i think for now. US servers i think are coming soon tho.
Looks fun from vids. Anyone else gona be playing the open beta that started last month? I only just found out about the open beta so im a little late to the party but should be playing by tomorrow as im downloading the client.
Best of all its F2P.
Im hoping for a lot of PVE but they say PVP plays a big part of the game which kinda off puts me as i dont like pvp.

WOW the gfx are amazing. The gameplay is well i duno yet. It seems like a kinda freespace 2 and freelancer combo type of game so far. It felt as a sp game which is defo no bad thing imo. I have only so far fought off an attack which was really long and hard to kill enemy (didnt know what the hell i was doing i was just shooting anything i could tbh) and then shooting some cap ships turrets off. Lots of cutscenes btw in the game. One thing i didnt like is the lack of what to do and to be made clear what to do. After that few cutscenes and them in in my ship (your a turret on a big space ship first btw) and im testing my weapons firing some drones then im called back to defend. Have to auto pilot back and comes with a cutscene (probably too many but their cool to watch). Fought off some bad guys which i found easier to do after reducing aa from 4 to 2 and shadows low and tweaked mouse more since very start) Later i was trying to find details of the station im supose to dock at as i couldnt find the dock command tho i probably clicked on somit i shouldnt have and then it crashed to desktop.
What ive seen tho and if the bugs can be worked out, should be one hell of a f2p game that has a very similar style of play as freespace 2 type games but with the controls from freelancer.
Mouse movement is weird like laggy feeling tho it might be config settings i need to change tho i have tried to change em but still laggy to me. like its got smoothing on which slows it down or somit.
It is really hard to grasp wtf is going on at the start but its cool.
It defo reminds me a lot of freespace 2 tho and a bit of freelancer.
As i said the gfx are AMAZING imo.
Hmm i hope their wasnt a NDA, i didnt see one when accepting to install and stuff.

Bit early considering the bugs it has.
I hoped the open beta would be longer because i just got the client not long ago and it only started in feb so thats like a month of beta testing which imo is pretty crap by comparison to world of tanks open beta which has been many many months with a lot of community feedback to get the game right even tho their is still some issues but overall the game was made better by the open beta. This Black Prophecy game i really hope its ready for release today but i am very doubtful because i have played the beta and it defo needed some tweaks which i dont think have been implemented like better tutorial and guidance on missions.

I've just signed up for this. Hope it is good, I was a little disappointed with some aspects of the EVE Trial I tried. Im hoping for a good space MMO, and this is looking good. I am really glad to hear that this will be F2P, so no monthly fees. I think this is good for MMOs. I got champions online when it went F2P and bought about £30 in the first week 
Shame the files are so big, it's going to take ages to download with my internet

:O Freespace 2 was one of the BEST space games ever. Excellent combat and storyline. I only wish there was a freespace 3 to continue the story.
Back on topic... Is any able to log in? I keep getting login failed every single time a try. I was going to post on the forums but cannot create an account due to there being some issue with that? Server status on the forums says they are up. Made a ticket and got my fingers crossed for a quick response.

Been playing a little of the full game (free to play), and it seems like Freelancer online. The first system, Nimbus is still very lag heavy even though it says server population Low , lol.
The game engine could endup being something used for benchmarking its its quite a heavy load on High settings. Its the only recent game ive played which has forced me to use a low res like 1680x and medium settins in order to make it playable on my 4890.

Hmm nimbus wasnt too bad last i played bout 2-5 days ago i cant recall exact time but it was when they had a patch out which fixed the lag in nimbus,. I was able to do the mission ok.
Also u dont have to kill enemy in them sectors but it helps get a start on loot and get u some pennies in and some crafting material and i managed to get a few ship parts like cockpit 2 and a shield and some weapons.

Nimbus was incredibly laggy last night, pretty much unplayable in parts.
