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.

then I got there and found pluto was nothing more than a list of

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.
