Well, I have been looking for a space game, ---- though primarily an
exploration space game more than the old trading options, so I''ll look it
over and see what I think.
I didn't particularly mind the real time options in ashes of angels, sinse I
could set my ship flying in the morning, go off, do some work or whatever,
and look in on my ship when it had arrived. The two things that eventually
put me off the game were the amount of time I had to spend hauling and
trading before I could get the equipment to do anything even vaguely
interesting (even asteroid mining), and the fact that all the locations felt
the same.
The first time I set my ship off towards pluto, I felt quite a thrill, ----
then I got there and found pluto was nothing more than a list of
numbers, ----- how interesting!
Beware the Grue!

I understand your skepticism, I'm not usually a space fan myself. But ashes
of angels had too much in the way of realtime stuff for me. This game
doesn't even really seem to have a turn limit. And there's quite a bit of
detail from what I can see, every location has some history behind it, the
shops and such all have different text descriptions, even the weapons are
pretty well described. And there's a lot to explore. As I said though I
don't know how long this'll hold my interest. It seems rather interesting
though.

Sounding rather like ashes of angels used to be before it went under.
I like the idea of more npc missions etc, as well as the basic rtrading
and what not.
My only question is exactly how much of the game is real exploration, ie,
reading interesting text about your location or mission or whatever, and
how much devolves into basic number crunching.
the only method I suppose is to look and see.

figured I'd toss this out there for all those interested in space
exploration. I'm not sure how long it'll keep me interested, but I'm
sure plenty of people on here will find it entertaining at least. Pasted
directly from the main page.
What is Core Exiles?
Core Exiles is a PBBG based Epic Space game. We are still in a BETA
phase at the moment but are always looking for new player / testers. You
play the part of the Captain of a small vessel cast out into the Galaxy
to make your fame and fortune. Unlike many browser based games CE is a
persistent game and therefore does not reset every few months.
Currently Core Exiles contains 5 Galaxies, 160 System, 690 Planets and
Starbases and over 1,960 in game items. Many of these items can be
crafted in game or you can choose to buy them from fellow players or in
game NPC run stores.
What can I do in Core Exiles?
Well there's plenty to do don't worry about that. From being a Hauler
and running trade Missions for the smaller or larger haulage companies
in the game, whether that be to a local system or the far side of the
next Galaxy!
Why not move Passengers? With over 15,000 passengers in the CE Galaxy
all wanting to go somewhere you'll never be short of finding a customer
for your cabins.
Try your hand at being a true Privateer and fit shields, scanners and a
weapon or two of your choice. Try out your hand at combat and see if you
have what it takes. With over 1,900 ship types to attack and Pirates
from here to the distant Galaxies you'll never be left stranded for
something to shoot at.
Don't forget the loot! With over 300 various items that can be looted
from your combat victories you'll be pondering over what cargo expander
to purchase next!
But combats not all that makes a game. There is also a very strong
Crafting side to Core Exiles. There are now well over 300 Schematics
enabling you with the right skills, resources and determination to build
a wide range of the items in game.
Of course Crafters need resources; Did we mention that Core Exiles
enables you to collect, mine and refine a multitude of resources. You
can mine from asteroid fields or deploy Planetary Extractors to build up
a wealth in resources.
Trading is a large part of most games and the Player Driven economy Core
Exiles is no different. Most items can be traded player to player or why
not place them on the in game "Player Market". Crafters, Miners,
Resource Collectors, Privateers they all need items and this is where
you can openly trade them.
You Finished?
Hell No; Core Exiles goes on and on. Mining Drones, Combat Drones,
Factories, Player Malls, Commercial Stores, Rare Refineries, RAID
targets, New Player owned Settlements, A skills system, Crystal
Crafting, Implants, Internal Game Email, Weapons, Shields, Cargo
expanders, Propulsion units, Energy units, Ship based Systems.
You Finished Now?
Noooo! Over 500 NPC Missions to get your teeth in too. 98 different
Player style ships to work your way through as you level through the
game. 68 different store types to be found on over 300+ Promenades to go
visit and shop at.
OK I'm not finished but I'm sure you get the picture. We are constantly
developing the game, if you get stuck you can always pose a question to
our team of CSA's through the in game 'Ask a question system'. We also
have a player community forum and an IRC channel for help and support as
well.
Core Exiles is always evolving and whats great is even after we go live
Core Exiles will still be FREE to play. Sure you'll be able to purchase
some special items should you wish to but the game will remain free.
That's probably the biggest features list I've seen in a space
exploration game. It differs from the planetary conquest type of thing
most of them have, and actually caught my attention. Hope to see you
guys there, this one looks like it could be fun.
