The starter mission is still broken, so Black Prophecy is basically like being stuck in mc5... But at least they seem to be aware of the issue now, as its mentioned in the known bug section.

Oh I forgot one very epic part about the character creation, when you customize your char, there are various different hairstyles, and an infinite number of hair colours, but if you have a male char you can also wear a trucker hat. Yeah that's right, space-suit and trucker hat :shock: I think I'm going to ask KK why there aren't any trucker hats for female chars, we should at least have a bonnet of some sort.

Im not sure, it seems like there are a bunch of Americans playing, so I think you can try and register and see what happens?... Look at the bp forums, ppl seem to be discussing it there. I think they will release a north american beta server.



Also the there is a work-around for the prologue mission I discovered, if you switch spire-station instance (from the minimap) you can go to a working nimbus-sector and do the mission. So basically jumping around instances will make you end up in a working nimbus sector. But switching from one nimbus sector to another instance of it, still makes you bugged, I think. Me so happy. :biggrin:

No its not very laggy at all for me (except in the broken nimbus sector, but its laggy for everyone there) I just tend to crash alot, but bio never seems to crash, so I think its very individual. In general the game runs very very smoothly, and I don't really experience any fps drops or anything, like I do in global agenda or battlefield bad company 2... I tend to have slightly longer loading times than bio, but its just a second or two, nothing crazy.

Same :)

I tried putting everything on the max, but I failed ;).

Everyone on medium and I've only ever noticed 1 FPS drop and that was using 2 rare/purple vulcan cannons on my ship, the simple evil RoF on those made me lag for a millisecond.

I've never crashed either :). Lags fine, small spike sometimes but it mainly effects Global chat :)

Version of Client:
Kiltiky level 10 (N/A though, Happend multiple stages)0_9.1
Faction of character:
Name of Sector:
Multiple Sectors
Other control element:
N/A
Is the bug reproducible?:
Yes - See below
Is the flow of game play interrupted?:
Sometimes, for example: If your invited to help fight the opposing faction in hostile space it won't show your allied team members properly


Basically:
Get invited to a team.
Team shows myself + 1 random member of the team. (Not always replicable)
Does not show other players or team leader.
Once we zoned into a new sector (team mission) the team menu fixed itself appropriately. to quote myself in other posts.
It really is Neocronesque.

So much so that he team menu was bugged for me today, I couldn't see anyone else in the team until I zoned. It brought back so many memories :lol:
I find it amusing you have the same bug in 2 games that use different engines, although I love the base of both games so you are forgiven ;).
An ammusing bug report to annoy the KK staff ;).

Anyway, River Tam - My new name is Kiltiky as a restarted my character last night. Mainly because I had put all my points so spread out it was annoying me.

I rushed to level 10 today but my friend who I'm playing with is away till sunday night :(. Add me to friends and we can frollock or something.

BTW: I'm Tyi

I think I can only add you to friends if your online, and if so, its a design flaw. Also the stupid quest is still bugged, and the work around seems to only work sometimes for some ppl. Im actually beginning to be a bit frustrated with KK, they are screwing up any chance of NC3 :x Then again I guess I must be stupid or naive, to even touch a game KK have done..

I'll be trying to login sunday prolly. It's giving me the "login failed" in the game client, but there's a known issue about it. So, I've logged out of my gamigo account which they say will take 24 hrs to update then I should be able to login. I'll report in sunday on what the result is.

I got everything set on max and as Iceborg said the game doesn't crash for me :)
I like the game so far, except the broken mission(they r patching it now so we'll get past the broken part). I was a bit sceptic to the whole "I'm a ship" thing, but it feels good now.

Btw, add me as a friend in BP ---> Jayne Cobb

Some of these questions might sound stupid, but I couldn't find the answers anywhere.

1. How big is the entire galaxy as far as exporation? How many systems? How big is each system to move around in?

2. Are these systems instanced or is the entire galaxy open without loading?

3. How does warping work? Is it a warp graphic and then a quick load or is it a straight point A to B non-loading warp?

4. How does the PvP work? Is it open world PvP where anyone can just start joining in that's in the local area?
