To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Evochron Mercenary: Questions

Hi,

I would like to buy/play this one , I've already played Evochron Renegades.

What can you do exactly on the planets surfaces (if anything)?

Are space battles easier or harder than in Ev. Renegades? I remember in Renegades you are even attacked when docked at a station, I don't like that too much - too stressing...

Can you leave your ship, that is: is there any FP mode in the game?

Thanks to answer!

I would have to play the demo again to see if it let you land on the planet, because I don't remember. I know you cannot get out of your ship and walk-around. But before you purchase you should play the demo, you get 1hr or so of game time to see who it plays and your system handles it.

Thx DarkOne for your active feedbacks !

I had some trouble loading the Starwraith site, but it's OK now.

There is quite a long & good description on a dedicated site for Evochron Mercenary, also pointing out all the changes from last versions.

As I understand it,

- no fp mode, but very nice and neat grafics on planetary surfaces, with weather effects, mountains (very convincing screenshots).

- on planet's surface you should be able to do mining, search for clues, visiting stations to trade. Also enemies may actually follow you on the surface which gives a good tactical situation, as you can exploit the terrain. It's also possible to hide and sneak out from nebulas in space. Interesting!

I will definitely get this one, but I'm currently too busy with Parkan :mrgreen:

See you,

XenonS

A smaller question, whats the difference between deployable constructors and buildable ones, (the deployable ones melt over time?)

 

The deployables are temporal and the buildables don't

 

See http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/universe.htm for more info 🙂
