Is that the whole goal of that game, to get a good-looking ship? Cuz yeah I need to farm items but Dota's hero designs are good even without sets (except in some old-model cases).

It's a "make your own goals" kind of game.

You start with an all purpose ship with which you can do several things to earn credits: trade, bounty hunt, smuggling, piracy, exploration, etc. From there on you branch out to specialty ships of your own choice depending on how you like to play the game.

That's an insanely boiled down description of things though. All of the above takes place in a MASSIVE system constantly manipulated by the player base in relation to its economics, politics, storyline, and so on.

Admittedly the game is aimed at a certain flavor of player. Getting started is involved, with the amount of controls, mechanics, and technical tidbits you need to learn. You should definitely to have a thing for space in general as well.

If you get a chance watch some of this guy's videos:

https://www.youtube.com/user/Isinona/videos This is my favorite: http://youtu.be/1-dHqX5cFB0

Edit: This is wicked as well. He's trying to smuggle stolen goods into a station full of law enforcement. Super intense: http://youtu.be/KbaLJTGHkj8

He shows how the different facets of the game plays out in a very engaging and episodic manner.

Isinona is amazing. I bought the game after I saw the Hunted video.

Secret won't get Top 8. They're really weak right now. I talked to them and I know what's going on with performance and what not. They seem to be in a really rough spot. I think EG will do okay, probably one of the more stronger teams.

Silencer is so god damn good in pubs, you can start out as a support if you need to and then transition into a semi carry with one or two mid game items.

It really looks nice but I don't ship Mirana/DK so nay on this.

Well, it's really because SIlencer has no immediate CC/slow so you can charge him allllllllllllll day and there's shit he can do about it.

It's a learning experience you can only improve when you play someone better. n

The tournament is 55% chance you win a prize. So it's about participation as much as competition.
