Why isn't there a texture pack for this yet? I assume it's a technical problem?

Love the game but the ascii is a big distraction for me.

At this point the only thing that makes this game interesting is Deon's tile set.

Not saying it doesn't have potential though.

Sounds a bit like Elite. If so that would be sweet.

Can you upgrade your ship? What about weapons? Technology? Land on planets? Does the Blue Danube play when you dock with a station?

Need more info!

Were you a complete rookie at the time?

Yep...I had recently come back to the game (hadn't played in years) and started a new character to experience the tutorials. I was still in the tutorial system in fact.


Honestly? Not the GM's fault, you just don't fit into the game. I've lost shit and lost hours of mining and not crying, crying over rookie mining because a single GM won't save your 100 minerals seems a waste of energy honestly.

There was no crying...and it wasn't the fact that I lost the ore...it was a pitiful amount, it was the fact that the GM didn't follow policy. I could care less about the douche bag getting his thrills on the other end of his computer by jacking newbs...but if they have a rule, reguardless of validity, they should follow it.

Eve is not unique in this amoung the MMO's but the customer service provided by the GM's is horrible.

I don't know what, if any, guide they follow but it's extremely inconsistant and biased.
How so?  Are you referring to the t20 incident or something personal?

I'm unfamiliar with the t20 incident, my opinion is based off personal experience.

Briefly I was in a rookie system and a pirate guild flipped my can. No biggie, I kind of expected that at some point. However, they continued to do so over and over. I assume in an atempt to bait me. As I understand the rules this sort of thing is considered griefing in a rookie system so I reported them. The GM response was simply "This is part of EVE online." I explained to them that I understood this but since this was a rookie system it was a clear violation...they disagreed so I cancelled my sub.

Plenty of other games out there.

I thought I read on the CoQ forum that baking was to be added?

I have been unable to locate it. Does anyone know the status of this?

Was The Sword of Fargoal a roguelike? I played the hell out of that game when I was a kid on my C64.

Found an emmulator recently...it's still fun for me!

Is this in orginal ASCII due to preference or lack of support for tilesets on the new version?

Just for my own curiousity and it will decide if I click on the pictures.

Thanks!

For some strange reason I can't start worlviewer. All I get is message "Component 'TABCTL32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file missing or invalid".

I had this issue as well. I had to run the worldviewer.exe as administrator and it worked.

Windows Vista.
