[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] So, like, I've just finished reading 'Consider Phlebas' and it was great, but it has left me yearning for more of those kooky ill-fated privateering stories. I've also been going back through the Firefly with the NZgf, and that has me wanting. But I think what I'm looking for is a videogame. So I know some of you play these games, and some of you may have an idea what I'm talking about. Basically what I'm looking for is a game where you start out with a cruddy little ship and a little bit of gas-money and then you do missions and pick up crew and as you get more money, you start getting better equipment for your crappy ship and ragtag crew and then eventually you are able to get a semi-nice ship and the missions are tougher, but now your fees have gone up too. And there are big superpowers you steer clear of and other peers fucking up your biz and maybe you make friends. And then, like, the ultimate would be you can actually get some old battlecruiser with all the gunports empty and fill it up. And it has space combat and maybe some ground stuff too. But so it's pretty open ended and there might be plot, but not necessarily. I realize I'm totally dating myself, but who here remembers Tradewars? Yeah, OK I'm old. Does this game even exist? I used to play something like this on my Dad's old 386 w/CGA, except the gameplay was more or less crap and the graphics were...well they were CGA. It's OK if the game is a little old. It doesn't need to be the 14 kazillion poly real-sampled bone-cracking simulation engine thing. I've been playing Alpha Centauri, TIE Fighter and even a little Freespace lately. So if people know of games or might know what I'm even talking about (NyQuil makes you sleepy!) Also is there some kind of Everquest environment like this? Because if there isn't there should be. Thanks in advance. [/QB][/QUOTE]
