I just did a little bit of sick in my mouth at how lame and cheesy that was!

Yeah I was thinking this was a full out game like Star Trek Online or something, but when I got passed the sign ups and seen it was a Browser based Unity game? OMFG

[Teebor]

I'm not going to take a look but I'm guessing this is based on the recent series? in which case it could be amazing, but I'm not going to play it

from what i've heard of this game it sounds terrible, which is a shame because BSG was so awesome.

if you want a good BSG game, i think beyond the red line is the only decent one, but you need a decent j stick for it at the very least. dunno if anyone plays it or not, but the 15 minutes i spent with the demo made me want to go get a whole flight control suite and get decent at the game, as i could live out my starbuck and apollo fantasies.

I just got in and on first play it seems quite fun :D and the music :wub:

[treemonster]

looks better than i thought it would.

how are the controls?

flying is going to be tough to get used to but I am sure once you nail it you'll be a pro :D

I flew straight into the Galactica when trying to land haha

[treemonster]

are you using a mouse or a jstick for it?

does it feel like it would be easier with a jstick if you are using a mouse?

Joystick would be ALOT easier, I am using Mouse/Keyboard

[Frylock86]

[treemonster]

too poor right now to buya jstick just for this lolz.

have you tried beyond the red line rappy? do the vipers fly like in that game(in btrl they fly exactly like they do in the show and you can do everything you see starbuck do in it)

[Jase]

[treemonster]

BSG Online just hit open beta today so I'm giving it a test run. Anyone else doing the same? Are the Closed beta players from Neowin still playing or not? =]

I gave it a shot last night for a few hours with a buddy of mine, we actually had alot of fun. We decided to dive right in to a fleet fight in a nearby system, and we were really glad we did. The large scale battles are a blast, even our starter ships had a role in picking missiles and other small craft off of the cap ships, or just adding our firepower to theirs to drop a cap ship or outpost.

For a web based game, it has alot of depth in terms of ship upgrades, skills, and viruses/hacking. Can't say how good it will be a few months from now, but I think they are on the right track.
