Is the game specifically made for multi play or is the solo play also well designed?
Altho, Mercenary is not an MMO, it does has certain advantages.
First & foremost, it is FREE! If you feel more comfortable paying a monthly fee, certain arrangements can be made.
Another advantage is you will meet some of the nicest pilots in all gamedom, all eager to help and guide you on your way.
And, if you are lucky, the server itself may actually speak to you!
Yet another advantage to MP is the ability to share in contracts both in the danger and the profits. You can even "merge" with another player and be a turret gunner or vice versa, both in the same ship.
There are even more oppotunities available in MP, but I don't want to seem "pushy" !
Remember, if you are uncomfortable, you can always hit the exit key.
I know there are a few ladies out there who are anxious to meet you.
Quickly finding floating containers, via your science officer's directions, is a skill you won't find in the training vids. I think Gorf and a few others have perfected the technique, though ... you might want to ask around.
