Some EM Gameplay Questions

Hero540 · Post by **Hero540** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 3:09 am

Hey guys!

I've stumbled across Evochron Mercenary on steam, began watching some videos, and I am now salavating and am seriously going to buy this game.

I was a huge Freelancer fan and played that game into the ground. Then I really got into Flight Simulator, and now I find EM...the best combination of both. I am absolutely stunned and am hopping up and down like an excited school girl, despite being a 22 year old male...anyways...enough embarassing myself, onward to what will really highly sell me on the game and will have me throwing pocketfulls of money at the developers...

Can you smuggle, and can you pirate, and if so, can you do those things to live players on multiplayer?

I really hope someone can get back to me on these because I have been doing google searches to no avail.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Hi and welcome.

I played Freelancer a swell and this game is so much better.

You can do trading to get you filthy rich. I don't know if that counts a smuggling to you thou.

You can do pirating if you can catch and disable another human in MP.
Some try it already, but I normally kill those who try that on me;)

There is a huge expansion in development (check the announcement forum) and that will bring
it to a completely new level with Walkers on planets as well.

I think the game is totally worth every dime (and more actually).

MP/SP is not "separated" either. Your profile works on both, so you don't have to build one for SP and one for MP.
The only thing that does not carry over is what you build. That stays in SP or on the server you build in MP.

It's a very friendly community both here in the forum and online in MP.

Hope to see ya online trying to pirate me!:D

Hi Hero540, welcome to the game and forum!.....Hope to see you out there some time!.....

You can pirate and bribe AIs in single play and Players in Multiplay online. You can not Bribe AIs in Multiplasy online tough!.....As for smuggling of contraband there is none! But you could do some illegal profitable weapons/arms trades in hostile systems and you will feel like a smuggler of weapons cause every one will hate you!......

:P:P:P:P:P

So its not considerd greifing to attack another player for their cargo whether you disable them or destroy them? I like the idea of piriting as i feel it brings a little risk to the miners and traders and would make MP more interactive as they would now need to hire protection causing more jobs for military fighters to partake it. Just wondering because I dont want to break any rules thanks!

If you plan to strong-arm other pilots, expect to become the target ... especially if it's a Sunday and a lot of other players are on line, looking for something to do.

I'm not saying I plan on doing that I just want to get a feel for what is allowed on the servers since I just started out. I like the fact that if someone starts pirating then they will become a target adds a little thrill to becoming notorious! I just like the idea that there is an even balance of players minding there own business maybe a pseudo police force and some type of criminal activity I feel it would keep the environment fresh. I don't think it would be cool to harass new players who are trying to learn the ropes that would just a dirty thing to do and maybe turn away new people trying to learn the game.

Normally pilots warn when they are about to attack someone, or asks for PvP.

Warning anyone when you try to be a pirate might be hard, since they can just keep running away from you.

I always keep my eyes open for "random" attacks and are prepared for it. A noob will most likely
not be seeing you sneak up on him. I think that if you want to be a pirate there is nothing wrong with that
if you are a bit nice to noobs and warn them, but sneak up on a little more experienced pilots.

All pilots that has been out there for a while will most likely enjoy the challenge of someone trying to
sneak up on them and try to defend against you or even pay you! I will at least!

I will give you a challenge if you're up for it.

If you manage to disable me or kill me I will pay you 100 mil. No warnings needed.

If you disable/kill any other HB member, I will pay you 50 mil for it. (That will keep my mates on their toes, LOL!)

Good hunting zwt2135!

I think 100 mil is not enough, and if you try it you will find out why

, but try it anyway.

Evochron has had a lot of bad guys. Including a guild called BA (Bad Aliens). But I know of only one pilot who attempted to extort credits ... and his career was short-lived.
