10/10 "Pre-problems" - 5/10 "Post-Problems"
After logging online & doing a few missions raising some cash for a new ship etc, the server (official ones) would randomly disconnect u & u log back in, find ur missing all ur latest purchases & pretty much end up back at the begining with an extra few 1000 credits, this was a major gremlin but me & 6-7 other ppl i found online played it for about a week despite these problems.
We hoped for a patch to fix it, we carried on playing.... no patch.
we carried on playing some more.... no patch
Beta patch was released..... woohoo is this the end of our problems?.. No.
if anything it added alot more issues as we now had 2 different versions of the game which caused more issues online etc & we still suffered from disconnects / losses / crashes blablabla.
That was back in 2002... and as far as im aware, its still the same (no patches since the beta, still crashes, and i believe theres no "official" servers now)
If only the Taldren etc had looked after this game rather than "Release & Leave", it could have been one of those iconic games.
