well. been waiting 30 minutes with my buddy, for Su to spawn at Slayton 6. right before he spawned a high level PW came. i started to attack Su and he done the same. before i could see the outcome my client died. when i came back the mob was already dead. then he preety much "taken" the spot from us. i tried to interact with him asking why and yadayada which he ignored. so i bring my guild over the place. sooo we've preety much taken the spot back and suddenly he changed and started to reply that he havent seen us (when we had been parked 5k from the nav. what? dont expect me to park ON the nav when this mob can 2hko me). finaly he gave up but left his ship afking nearby just to piss us. no "sorries" was given, no respect was shown. my first KSing expirience here heh. judge yourself who was "right" and who was "wrong" if this might be categorised by any of those two. facts: life is hard games are not life games are for fun ruining the fun kills the game dead game forces you to look for new source of "fun" which will replace the old one this is a multiplayer game, if you after single player expirience - switch the game for another. pixels are pixels, but behind each of this pixel toons are living human beings which feel, can be pissed, offended. you dont need to respect the pixels but should respect the guy behind them. i dont care about the pixel goods, but i do care when someone is acting rude and i will fight/defend myself. FLAME SHIELD ON Personal note: EnB is an old, 10yo, outdated game. the game crashes alot, is bugged and sometimes broken. but the community here cant be find elsewhere. the comunity of helpful, mature, respectful people who want to play the game for fun not feeding their e-peens. destroy this community, or let it be destroyed and you can preety much close the servers. and i know that many players are like that.

i was free warping when the crash happend. lol was flying like 800k from sys center

i think you got me wrong guys... i havent asked for anything in exchange for the donation, i just ah nevermind. w/e

and yet, my question is still left unanswared....

now thats a book example of derailing a folum thread lol

i am more curious on what happend with MY donation =\ yesterday ive donated 25bucks and seen myself on "Donators" list which made me, i am not hiding it, quite proud and today i look at donation page and =puff= my name is gone. come on guys, i dont want any special treatment, bonuses or stuff. but seeing my name under Donators made me feel a bit better. to not be a freeloader but an active contributer.

okey guys. ive played the game for over 2 days now. i have invited my teenage brother and my friends. but first ive gathered them for a movies sessions. we've watched Space Odyssey 2010, Sunshine, couple of Star Trek episodes. then, ive showed them Earth and Beyond. i think a new stream of donations should flow in very soon. i think someone needs to tell me how i can donate. i think i have found the game of my dreams and i hope you will be able to keep E&B emu running for as long as the stars shine. i think it was wourth it, to wait all this years. i consider myself a very lucky man now. kudos. what else could i say? thank you

seriosuly... full support. it took me a whole day to figure out "what goes where" which was just wasted time knowing how simple and plain it might have been.

hey laugh all you want but i consider myself as a Cat (yes, with a big "C"). my nickname which i use from like 10 years is also not a coaccident and hey most of you got this cool looking signature under your posts, can i have one too? =O

you know what? it worked O_O simple reinstaling Net7 and v'la - i am playing wohow!

hmm yes i can and no i dont use any proxy servers currently. my thoughts exactly i belive that the "Need" is the best teacher possible in life hmm great idea! ill try it now. shame that my descent english cannot make my E&B to run smothly

instaled latest .NET 3.5 and nothing... now it doesnt even trying to update... i am seriously getting tired of this i really hope this game is wourth all this troubles

okey after trying options marked "READY" ive ended up with this and the servers list looks like this: yet only both "single" are "READY", for both multi it shows "OFFLINE"

from the window it says: LaunchNet7 v1.8.1

ummm it apears i have some problems. 1. i downloaeded the E&B demo, patch and Net7 2. instaled demo, patch and net7 3. ive launched LaunchNet7.exe and picked e&b.exe as the target. 4. it detects an update but is trying to instal/download it in wrong folder. the e&b folder is C:\gry\Earth & Beyond and the net7 is trying to download the files to just C:\gry\ creating new folders ect. UPDATE: ahh sorry ive picked the wrong file... its supposed to be client.exe placed in C:\gry\Earth & Beyond\release. now its patching correctly. UPDATE2: which server i should use? theres 4 of them. Net7 single, Net7 multi, Net7 single custome and Net multi custome

aahhh the old-forgoten "devoted player"... havent seen one in years! maybe its just the 21's century or maybe the gaming industries are spoonfeeding us with plain, candyland, "empty" games. this way or another - devoted players are like white crows those days. glad i finaly met the remenants of this dying rase *wink wink*. So okey i have registrated at net7. do i need to login there every time i want to play? and thank you for your kind words regarding my english language knowledge i need to add i never studied the lang. it just came as side-effect. from watching satelite TV, discoveries channel, cartoon network (Sic!), watching subbed anime, and of course - playing adventure games. remember all those old adventure games with Indiana Jones? walls of text! and not even a slightest clue whats going on. so i took my eng-pol dictionary and just keep checking all the words. its only natural that i have remembered many of the words and sentences this way. even now when world moved and many if not most of the games published or distributed in my country are translated i still prefer the original english versions and so, after 15 years i am still playing many games with my right hand on the mouse and left hand sitting on that very same old dictionary this is to keep this old-dog rusty english in well condition. i dont know really what they teach kids those days... why the next generations are so dry with curiocity? and its not because of the lazzyness. damn! i was one of the most lazzy bum back then! ahh sorry, i am talking to much it seems. just happy with this warm welcome ive recived cheers!

hello and thank you for the fast reply i am downloading all needed files now but i have a question about the in-game accounts: so basicly i just need to type (in game) my current forums ids right? like for example if my login here is like "iRideCowsWithHelmet" i need to use the very same login in game? oh and for step-by-step (assuming i have downloaded everything ) 1. run E&B demo exe 2. run patch 3. run net7 setup is this correct?

Well hello there! My name is Radosław and i am 25years old guy from central europe country name Poland. Before anything else i would like to state that my english is not my native lang and most all of it comes from medias as i am self-learner (never had english language lessons in my country:)( ) so you need to forgive me for my grammar mistakes and spelling errors. About E&B ive learned very long time ago seeing a beautifull trailer of the game which i got from games magazine with a CD. The gameplay seems nice, the graphics for that times was literaly unreal. i dreamed about the game and want to play but without proper PC setting and internet (yeah, my country was always a rat's hole in case of progress...but hey! we've been nearly anihilated so many times during last hundred years and especialy WW2 that its almost a miracle that we are even on the europe map heh). And when ive finaly got the PC and internet the game was dead already....but the karma flows and all dreams and wishes are always filled... it just takes various amount of time heh. So, after so many years Earth and Beyond is finaly in range of my hands, close enough to grasp it. about the emulator project ive learned very recently, from http://www.spacesimcentral.com.'>http://www.spacesimcentral.com. Ive been playing Escape Velocity: Nova and it awaken my long-forgoten lust and desire for space games. after finishing the game ive started to search for other games from the genhre, exploring and discovering new and new sites and projects. and after a huge chain of links ive landed here. from http://www.spacesimcentral.com ive learned that the game is off-line now which as a news created many diffrent, mixed feelings. from one point of view i was happy as playing mnay various MMO's made me literaly anti-social in terms of net gaming. so much grifing, abusing, immatureness, kids, cursing, selfishness and grind... but from another point of view playing a game alone that was made as on line felt and bit wrong and lonely... then ive learned about first servers being brought into life. my question now is: is it possible to try the game out off line? and what exactly i need to do/download in order to play it? sadly but informations are quite scatared around the place and arent much user friendly for a dumb-head like me. currently i am downloading "E&B_demo.exe" from one of the websites which links you have provided in another part of the forums. can somebody write me a step-by-step guide on how to setup the game? as long as its not some kind of rocket science i think i'll be able to follow, just be a bit patient. after all, even with my rather comunicative english speaking and understending the information flow will be far from perfect. and well, lemme just say this: i dont know who you are guys, i dont know what made you think of emulating this game but you do something incredible and its great that there are still people with dreames and courage to grasp them. you have my full support here. if the game will end up fun to play and the server will be handled wise and with care you can be sure that my support will quickly translate into more "material" form, if you know what i mean.
