Noctis - The Galactic Odyssey

Anyone heard of Noctis?

Well Noctis is a huge space-sim game with a little bit much more reality then in freelancer

Features:
-Very mysterius and fun game.
-Real generated galaxy with over 70 billion systems to explore in a real dynamic orbit.
-Possible landing on planets and exploring the planet's surface.
-Many diffrent and strange creatures to explore and learn.
-you have a realy huge diffrent galaxy not everything is the same.

Storyline:
You play in a distent galaxy (not in the Milky Way).
all aliens and races that once long time ago lived in the galaxy have suddently disspered including your own race the "Falisians" (a cat-like creatures)
even all the Falisians from your homeworld have been disspered leaving no clue behind. only those who were exploring the galaxy, those who wre far far away from thyre homeworld have been left alone mysteriusly.

-No space battles
-No other ship to buy except your own ship Stardrifter(an exploration ship)

Well the game is only a pure classical exploration game, it dosnt have any space battles or wars.

here is the link for the download page. the link for the latest version is on the top of the site near the banner.

@DSQrn

It has no storyline
only a dead past of your character

and there are no space battles cuse its only a space exploration game
and stardrifters are the only ship cuse the scientsts first and last did build this ship for space exploration, thay added weapons to the ship in case thay will find any life in the galaxy, but since thay are a peaceful race the availiable cannons have been removed since Noctis 2, cuse there was no use for them, the cannons were so strong that thay could take out a whole planet.

sorry FD but i don think he advertising he is just sujesting a good game. i mean is it wrong to say "hey heres a cool game!"

@FL2003 so.. you just wander around space.. that sounds enjyable but easy to tire of

Grammar is your friend.

worst game ive played for ages.

Post Sun Sep 19, 2004 9:37 am

@DSQrn
not only
there is a whole community that is sharing thyre discoveries with each other
in Noctis you can take pics of your discoveries, within the pic theres the cordinites of the sector, system, planet\moon that you are in.
so you can show the pic of your discovery so other players can go there and see your discovery

in Noctis you can also name each system and planet and moon
and upload the name to the Noctis Mapper with other players discoveries and names

and also you can land on planets surface on feet and explore the whole planet

Noctis is an amazing game
not the kind of game you'll see each day.

but if you would like a game like noctis but with wars ans sace bettles then play FFE throgh the universe in there is less realistic but its got real time dynamic and 3 super powers at war, and you can also just fly by the planet surface

FFE download link:
www.eliteclub.co.uk-for shareware FFE
www.jaj22.demon.co.uk- for john jorden's modified FFE that allowes playing on any system you want (not only DOS)

@FF
nothing personal but..SHUT-UP..if you dont like the game then just dont post about it!

and if you having trouble with controls then just read the manual!

Post Sun Sep 19, 2004 9:47 am

Actually Freelancer, like i have said before - ALL FORMS of feedback are welcome and appreciated. The VERY silly "Don't post anything negative, only post positive" is VERY short sighted. Anyone reading ff's comments will not see any constructive criticism, and therefore not take his words verbatum. If he posted why it sucked so bad, then people would take more note - and maybe the negative comments would have an effect and affect the chances of downloads..........but if you expect everyone to only post nice comments, leaving out any other opinion - is it going to really represent the gaming public in general, or a few fans. Imagine if every game review you read ONLY listed the great things.........everything would be a fantastic game - and you would really struggle to find decent games for all the crap!

Also - this STINKS of advertising, and I mean that with emphasis....it STINKS of advertising.
