Demo - Too easy?

Sun Feb 23, 2003 9:07 pm by PCHolt

I downloaded and played the demo for about 2 hours, and I love the interface, the graphics and everything, but....

Does anyone else think the combat is too easy? I mean, to be fair, I am flying the weakest ship in the game, with the weakest shields, weapons, etc., and I get jumped by pirates. Four against one, and I dust them all without my shields going below 50%?! I was guessing that I'd be using nanobots and shield batteries repeatedly to stay alive, but it seemed like they wouldn't engage me unless I was firing at them.

I hope this is just the AI being merciful to a newbie, but I'm having my doubts. Don't get me wrong, I hate getting blown to bits over and over again, but I would like to be challenged, also. Anyone else worried about the difficulty?

Nope. Try going up against Liberty Navy.

Anyway, Liberty's supposed to be the easiest system.

Also depends on what level the enemies are at. Of course, if youre battling it out with lvl 1 bad guys, its gonna be pretty easy, but go find of lvl 4 or 5 and youll have a lot harder time taking them out.

That's a big relief. Thanks for the response, guys. There's nothing I hate more than a game that's too easy.
Like I said, I only played for 2 hours, so maybe I havn't given it a fair shake yet.

Try your hand at Ithaca Research Station

After the eighth or ninth ship started shooting at me I hightailed it out of there - can't wait until the 4th when I can fly a real ship back there and teach those punks a lesson

I wonder if something's gonna happen with Ithaca station or if it's just there for mood. Don't tell me!

Yes! I finally tried the badlands area (Ithica). Much more challenging. I could take out all four ships, but with all the debris in the area, I really took a beating, and they respawned before I could even pick up all the loot. Thats more like it! I handled about 3 and a half waves of them before I ran away with my tail between my legs. I love this game!
