Ok I just got accepted in to the closed beta for this which I am quiet excited about.

This game from what I have read is similar to Eve online however it is with Mech robots! Now imo this is epic.

FEATURES


Persistent universe
Every player is a part of one server, one scene, one storyline.

Formable planet surface
The whole terrain can be formed by military, agricultural or even aesthetic aspects.

Dynamically changing vegetation
The flora is changing perpetually, its parameters can be modified by the player, so even huge plantations - containing useful raw materials - can be established.

Time-based character development
No need for 'grinding'. You can be qualified despite you're not playing, since players get XP even if they are not logged in.

Active raw material simulation
The position of liquid materials change during exploitation. Controlled algorythms manage the respawn of raw materials.

Real-time, asynchronous combat
No turns, therefore no time restrictions of combat moves.

More than 30 various robots, hundreds of equipment items
Robots can be specialized in several kind of operations or tactics. The only barrier is your imagination.

Self-controlling economy
Exploitation, refinement and even manufacturing are all controlled by the players. The speed and efficiency of fabrication processes can be developed throughout the game.

Social networks
A complex corporation founding and management system is available for players, with additional communication systems in- and outside the game.

Career centre
Several missions can be undertaken on the numerous Syndicate departments. These varied missions provide challenge for every sort of specialties.

thread requires pictures and youtube vids so here is at least one ;-



Hopefully this will be good, I always regret not starting Eve at the beginning, I will not make that mistake again.

Besides the time based character development I see absolutely nothing that makes that similiar to EVE?

Sorry I will edit the OP... Thanks for clearing that up for me (other than the persistent universe, real time combat and like you said time based character development)

Im not trying to be awkward, I get what you mean, but really its just another Sci-Fi MMO with time based development. It doesnt have the constant open full loot pvp, insanely complicated market system, complex standings/corps/alliances system etc.
 
Just about to download this. Looks interesting, is it made from CCP?

It's a lot like eve, but with robots and on planets.

It does. The crafting system is pretty complex, market is exactly the same as eves, corps are too actually. PvP seems to be the same from what people have told me.
 
This is so unashamedly Eve!

Extension: Data Procesing

Each level of this extension raises the [[Help:Robot_parameters|CPU performance]] of your robots by an additional 3%.

'''Primary attribute:''' Mechatronics

'''Secondary attribute:''' Research and development


The character creation is so similar to EVE's, picking a faction that prefers either lasers, missiles or magnetic weapons, then choosing a school which determines your attributes and more 'extensions' which aren't skills at all :3
There are 6 attributes, rather than 5 though, which is something different at least!
 
I'm sure CCP staff members would approve, it is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery! ;)

Me, I just enjoy this MMO very much, I prefer it to EVE.

The game could do with more support that's for sure. Instead of gaming people criticising, it would be good to see more positive comments and encouragement around on forums, too much negativity, they're even talking themselves down on the Perpetuum Forums
THINK POSITIVE.. ACT POSITIVE.. BE POSITIVE.. ENJOY!! :D
 
I can really see this kicking off to be honest.

I prefer it to eve too but eve is still massive fun.

We need to get word around, hype it up! :p
 
I have to accounts, you can add me if you like. Zeua and ... forgot the other. brb :p

Cool will do, I've just come off for tonight but will add you tommorow. Certainly looks EVE-like in the menu's etc.

Not overly impressed with the little starting robots (they look like scutters from Red Dwarf) but watching that video looks like you can build some good stuff!
 
Starting robots are crap.

Light bots and upwards are pretty cool though.

Each bot specialises in a certain thing. Such as mining, harvesting, Electro warfware, missiles, lasers, autocannons. It's kind of slim pickings just now and price gouging is hilarious.
