Astro Galaxy - a realistic space exploration game

Preferably an active corp with some users who use Irc,Steam,Gtalk or whatever messaging system of choice. So you know I can pester you with questions.

Well i dont know about other corps but i prefer some information from you too...

What sort of playing style do you prefer? 

So far the only one on in OX that uses instant messengers is me. There are only 3 of us and only me and the leader are active. Both of us are easy to reach and don't mind answering questions. Though if you despite pirates you won't fit in with us.

Well I like long walks on the beach

I'm more of a builder.  Tho nothing wrong with Pirates .

I enjoy excel spread sheets

ect ect

Well if you love excels you would be nice addion to prkl galaxy mapping team :D :)

I'll join only if I can be second in charge!

Sure :)

How much for maps? lol

Corporate secrets :P

lol. I am making my own star charts out that I am keeping back on my computer to keep track of who has what where.  It is annoying keeping up to date in Sol though lol

haha look who respond to a "looking for a corp" post. all the rats....i guess that was to be expected. databases and beaches we got loads of lol though the statement nothing wrong with pirates is a bit distrubing. have a look what it is you want to be a part of in the game. that will help decide which team to be with. active corps will post their stance/preference in corp areas. go where you feel most comfortable.

Good luck to you finding what you seek

Dadds [IMG]

if you really cared you would bother checking if he is still looking for corp, but apparently you dont

you obviously missed my point, Norill. Like vultures to a road-kill, the pirate groups swoop down to try to convert another player to the dark arts of piracy. I merely posted that there are other options out there besides piracy. Whether that player has already found a place or not is irrelavant. I am not going to beg to anyone to join my corp. Our corp is doing quite fine and dandy. Just merely pointing out that there are several options out there to anyone looking for a home, new home or change of scenery. Not sure how that equates to "dont care". i personally read it to equate to "i do care"

looking to join a Corp

Complete the training, grow a little (>100000)  and send a private message to Jam-Jul Lison to join our corp: Pirating & Mining, Inc [PMI]

our corp Perkele! is also recruiting. if you prefer larger corp join PMI. i strongly discourage joining IMG, their leader is not entirely normal, to put it mildly.

 @ Captain Blackmoon,

  New Horizons Corporation (NHC) is always looking for active players to join.

I have already talked to  him about it and explained why he needs that power.  I don't want him to get dragged into our war when he is so new. Him and one other are actually working on getting up enough points right now to join.  Well 3 if you count Cobi who is looking to rejoin once he passes the 100k mark.

Funny since we at IMG would strongly discourage others from joining PMI or Perkele!... Since you guys are pirates your not entirely normaly... mr ffffffffffffffffffff  (#852)

PMI isn't that bad. We have good leadership, teamwork and and friendly members. Only reason I have not been letting in people below 100k is because of the war. Let's face it newbies don't need to have to worry about being attacked constantly when they are still figuring the game out. They got enough to worry about with pirates. While some of those pirates are in our corp, not all of them our. I don't pirate much anymore and neither does Sargas. Not sure who else might be pirating at the moment in our corp lol. There are of course pirates in Sol and other Corps.  Aysle I would suggest you actually do the same for IMG on joining requirements. I am sure you wouldn't want any newbies members who might join your corp to be dragged into this war when they aren't prepared for it.   Speaking of the war, I really hope Emi implements some way of tracking people better.  This war has gotten pretty boring lately. lol

I finding out that because of my strength, piracy doesn't return very much profit (most of what is being mined are minerals and gasses I have no real need of)...

My mining and my SOS and COM missions are feeding me quite well...

@Sargas good to see that piracy eventually falls into idle laziness haha Soon you will be classed as a digger. (Its our working rank within [IMG]that has proved themselves to be self sufficient). I know as a pirate you are a jolly good miner, its a pity you got mixed up with a bad crowd when you were younger ;)


@Norill LOL define "normal" buddy. From your deluded perspective that should be an interesting definition. "Most" of us are grown men and occasional women playing a HTML based turn/timed game that havent actually grown up yet! LOL Show me your degrees that allows you to judge normality, and i will compare them with mine.

[Perkele]'s type of normality is a decision to destroy players mines based on what they are mining & then PM them to stop mining those mats. Thank God i am not normal from Norill's version of normality

I am still mining Iron ffffffffffffffffff or whatever you want to call yourself now. (was that 8 ffffffffffffffff's or 9?) come and get another belly full of it haha

idle laziness?
no, more a result of a low profit/loss margin (my last raid cost me around $1000 solari and I only was able to loot 3 cubics of Kolymite -$150 solari for a net loss of $850 solari).

digger?
I prefer to be called a yank (if you must call me something).  I am from neither New Zealand nor Australia (when you get to know me better, you can call me an 'old coot' if you must lol)

Yeah laziness isn't why he gave up and why I am thinking of it.  It is just the fact that it doesn't really bring in enough of a profit compared to other things for us. Profit is why I started doing it in the first place.  It helped me a lot in the early game.

I'm looking for good Corporation.

Training completed. 3 ships. Adv cargo, +1300/h of science
Mechanic of game is clear.

What I need:
- no pirate alliance, Defence and attacking for honour is welcome  :4:
- direction for grow (where to fly, to settle  B-) )
- team playing for defence (and for english improve)
- support for faster start (i will pay off all)

[good fun for All  :19:]
Paolloo

Well, I actually can invite you to the IST, but we had some economical problems and had to join PMI, soon the IST will return but we actually still recruiting Ministers or Generals for the future Goverment, everyone is welcome.

Come with us, The empire of Sargas. We work together, we help each other, you will get tips and tricks from among the top players of the game. Sargas is our leader.

Captain Matamaure,
director of militia, Empire of Sargas

Paolloo, if you want to grow peacefully, don't join IMG and PMI, better join EOS.  :)

PMI isn't going to be PMI much longer. We taking a more navy direction. We will still allow players to play how they want, but things will be geared more towards combat.  In paticular for COM missions.  We are growing as a corp in more ways then just power.  Still if you want a peaceful life this is still a better choice then SSS. Joining SSS would almost make certain you will be attacked at some point.

I am not asking him to join us because we don't accept newbies.

What I wanted to say was if he wants a peaceful growth (that is, not become a possible target of the Syndicate), he should not join IMG and PMI, or the whole of GC for that matter.

You are invited to join the ITO. We are a growing but also relatively young corp. We provide corp ships for personal use and a good teamwork. We are also part of the Galactic Council and have no problems with other corps. Feel free to contact me.

Paolloo as joined us.

Perhaps you haven't noticed Raphael, but EoS has already put in an application to join the GC, though it is pending certain conditions be met I'm fairly certain they will be approved at some point so your suggestion to join EoS so they wouldn't become a target of yours is kind of a moot point.

don't remind him...lol

Fenix, I know much more than you about the game and its happenings so there's no need for you to tell me that. LOL

When it comes to corps, nothing is permanent. Right now they are not part of the GC, and they still are far from having any united stand against their enemies. It's obvious that I leave NHC alone, so even if the EOS joins the GC, as long as they don't get themselves involved, I will also leave them alone. My preference is though that no one joins the GC.  :)

IMG has their own map of the known galaxy, mining resources mapped and recorded in a minerals database for all members to use and update, and a large corporate fleet with some cutting edge technologies to help with the earning and relocation of your resources to a suitable colony if required.
As a member of IMG however you may come under the scrutiny of some of the bigger villians and desperados in this game but we are a major player in orchestrating peace and a code of conduct for all players. Hense we have NAP's with almost all peaceful corporations and we are strong enough to help defend our members and their properties from those bent on destruction of the peace process and anarchy.
This notice is for any new members looking to join an active corporation as well as to be active in the workings of the community as a whole.

Obviously what Raphael doesnt know or is overlooking is that i have asked all GC members, to remain as a member, is to get onboard with all of its policies and directives, as you would expect from any membership to any corporation, so i think Raphael will soon find himself being very outnumbered in his stance against the GC lol
And dont go posting crap about knowing much more than another pilot, it just shows what an actually newb you really are!

IMG for one is a has-been, and I no longer see your corp as a threat. Your corp is nothing compared to the Syndicate anyways. And as a notice, any new member of IMG will be hunted mercilessly by the Syndicate and we will put up bounties for that new member's ships and stations. So all pilots better think twice of joining IMG!  :)

I know IMG asked all other GC members to have one stance but that is still a long way to go. Planning and implementation are different things and I doubt GC will show any signs of efficiency in the near future. Besides, numbers don't mean crap if you can't put a dent on my ships! LOL

Also dadds, don't talk about being a newb when you can't even attack properly! Learn how to properly assess a battle so you don't end up looking like a fool spending QPs in a battle to only end up losing stations! Who's the newbie now? Hahaha

That one loss I witnessed to you, he only spent 4 qp.  That isn't a lot.  He forgot about the issue of the next ship just going after your station.  Yes he did make an error. But I have made that one before myself.  His best bet would have been to wait with his bigger ship a little longer, then nailed you with it. Then let me come in to hit your station.  Everyone screws up though and your shields there were good.  I will admit that.  I am not going to say your ships are complete crap.  They aren't.  But they do have a weakness that isn't hard to exploit.

please remember the topic guys.


really NOBDY is interested in your(esp. raphs) endless talking about you greatness. Thank you.

 :glassoff:

A very old topic that never really should have been revived in the first place. lol. 

it was revived by a pilot who was shopping for a corp to join.

@Jazz: Fact is, the moderators themselves don't really follow the forum rules.

Maybe all moderators should visit this thread again: http://forum.astro-galaxy.com/index.php/topic,8088.0.html.


@Jam, doesn't matter if he spent 1 QP or 100. The point is him calling me a newbie. I for one never made dumb mistakes like that, and considering how old he is in the game and it still happened qualifies him more of being called a newbie (or more like a noob) than me.  :)

To be fair the only part of the thread I can even moderate is on the GC area. The rest I am not a mod. 


By going by player numbers you would be much more of a newbie then he is.  Newbie isn't a bad term. It just refers to new players.  You have grown powerful and found a good way to do it. But that doesn't mean there aren't still things you have to learn.   As experienced as I am, I am not even going to say I know everything.  That would be ignorant.     Now from what I can tell he didn't call you a noob though which is good. There is a big difference between a newbie and a noob.  A noob is generally an idiot who often times acts like a newbie. lol

Eh I would say that depends on who is using the word Jam I personally tend to use the word noob to refer to new players and call the idiots nooblets, but hey that's just me lol. I'm kinda lazy with these slang words and terms that people come up with these days, potatoe patata, w/e xD

As for who is and is not a noob, I can't honestly say I care, I don't think anyone involved in this is a noob. If Raphael sees me as a noob then so be it, like I said I don't care. I've been around the block a couple of times in games, hell I've been the strongest player in a few games, I know how to get to the top that is nothing new to me. It generally takes a good deal of time invested, a little bit of planning and some decent observation to see what others are doing and what does and does not work. If Raphael wants to assume that he knows more about the game and what goes on within it than I do then let him, it certainly doesn't matter to me. He might be right about that, then again he might not be. Personally you will never catch me assuming something like that unless the other person just started the game like yesterday. The second you start thinking you know everything and know better than everyone else is the second you stop learning and that generally is followed by someone surpassing you. Not to mention it makes you look and sound like kind of a jerk, but w/e like I said I really don't care so I'm not exactly sure why you guys took offense to it or otherwise felt the need to start yet another arguement.

i just love pointing out raphael's failings, for which there are more than be commented on here lol.
He seems to think he invented the game; i would like to point out that we have seen many evolutions of this game especially in combat and have to keep adapting to, unlike raphael, who started practically yesterday and i doubt has actually seen a recent update, certainly not a significant one. The game is flawed big time in the areas of combat, for which I am showing to all by actually conducting campaigns against player pirates.

Any game has flaws if you really look for them. But instead of you adapting or dealing with it, you choose to constantly whine about it. You probably got around with your life by complaining about every single thing that doesn't suit you.  :))

We have adapted to the flaws in the game.  But that doesn't mean we can't complain about them. Sometimes that is the only way to get them fixed.

True every game does have flaws, but some are bigger than others and as such some of them require fixing and some of them probably aren't worth the effort. The combat of this game has several flaws in it that simply don't make any sense and frankly make the game much more difficult to play and enjoy than it should be, if you don't agree with that Raphael then that is fine you are entitled to your own opinion, however that doesn't mean the rest of us don't have some good points. Jam is correct, the first step in solving a problem is realizing that there is a problem that needs fixing in the first place.

I have no problems with pointing out flaws. However, what dadds and jam are doing is this: hijack a thread and bring up ancient flaws like the battle system. If you point it out once, that's good. Twice, that's bearable. But do it for the nth time? That's just childish whining right there.  :)

I wouldn't call it hijacking in this case, this thread hasn't been active in a long long time and was only brought up because of someone recently using it. As for them bringing it up over and over, I understand how you might feel about that I can't say that I enjoy reading about it all the time, however it is something important that needs fixing. I don't know how SirEmi operates so idk if he looks through all the old threads as far as bugs and suggestions or maybe he only looks at a couple of the newer ones when he has the time. If it is the second scenario then I don't have much of a problem with them bringing it up every now and then.

If you got an issue with it feel free to take it up with SirEmi. Be sure to mention what it is we keep bringing up too.  Maybe it will help get his attention. Though I kinda doubt it.

I wouldn't really care if you hijack all threads or constantly whine about it. I'm just saying that the way I see it, what you're doing is nothing more than plain whining. We all know that SirEmi already knows about these flaws a long time ago. If he wanted to change it, he could've done so ages ago.

Having been friends with someone who made their own game and ran it very successfully for several years I can tell you right now that despite "wanting to do something" they don't always have the time to actually do it. Not only does he run this game but apparently several others, and unless he makes a lot more money off of those games than he does from this one I highly doubt working on these games is his day job. And if he does make a lot more money off of those games then obviously they would be his priority to work on anyway. In short, regardless of whatever plans he might have, they will only happen if real life lets them happen. Just because he hasn't done anything about it to this point doesn't mean that he won't in the future, and I'm going to stick by that until I hear from SirEmi himself.

I am sure he does know. But the more complaining he sees about it the more likely he is to get tired of the complaining and do something about it.

please let it be soon...
