multiplayer

Hello. I'm wanting to get involved with multiplayer but have a coupla questions about the gameplay. I know, I know, many of you will probably just tell me to go do it. but i gotta know. first can I export my SP char to MP, second I see alot of posts about something called dock campers and how it makes MP no fun, will this be the first thing i encounter? third, is it full pvp? will i be inundated with laser fire and missles when first logging in? does MP have a plot or is it just like a fighting tournament with maps like , capture the flag, deathmatch, etc...
thanks for the replies.

Boo out.

You cant use your SP character online.

Online is just the same as SP, just missing the story line/Juni/King etc. But make of it what you want with in the rules of the server you play on.

CTF DM etc, it's not evolved that far yet.

As for dock camping, its just someone sitting in space waiting for you to leave a dock and shooting you when your vunerable, ie no skill.

Getting shot at from the off, can be but most servers now have the standard rule of atleast no PvP in New York, some have it to extended to the whole of Liberty space.

Better still Djinn and Hoernchen. Take two minutes to start you own thread with your own problem. Don't hike someone elses. It's bad form fellas.

Mr Boo.

These are actually good questions. Pinger summed it up really, but what i wanted to add is this.

You can obtain small plots via the missions. But with MP, it is my belief that the plot is generated by the players. Which means that each server is as good as the players that regularly participate.

I play on "** uk server **", where the administrator is all in favour of players adding depth to the whole experience by coming up with new ideas. We currently have clans on-line, although this is fairly new. Clans can be intimidating, but that depends on the guys that belong to it. They can also be good fun.

We also have bounty hunting, which for me is a great laugh.

By and large, we don't sit well with players who intimidate and bully others, but as i say, on some servers anything goes.

It's up to you. Give one a go. If you don't like it, vote with your feet (or mouse finger).
