Hi, I've been playing EV for a few hours, but I don't get what's so fun about the game.
Everyone says EV/EVO is a great game so I want to enjoy them as well!
I find that some ships are very expensive. Do those ships have real kick ass weapon graphics?
What about the enemies? I was expecting a Sci-Fi war like Starcraft but rather the graphics are less detailed and interesting. Hardly no special abilities, etc.

I enjoyed Cythera, Ferazel's Wand, Barrak and Harry; especially Ferazel, but can't enjoy these EV games! :mad:

The funnest thing I ever did was kill 2 crescent warships, 2 Laziras, and assorted Aradas, all in an upgraded Azdara. The real fun is in playing really well. At least for me. The problem is, you may not like this sort of game. Do you like RPG's? Do you like arcade classics like invaders or Pac-Man? I see Escape-Velocity as the ultimate mixture of Arcade and RPG. Also, you have to give EV time. The first half of the game, is getting money,and exploring the galaxy. Have you tried playing Escape-Velocity Ovveride? EVO is a lot larger, and cooler than EV. Also, if you look for them, there are aliens in EVO. Check them out.

This game is really fun. Just go to my strategies post for good info on how to start out. Try exploring to the north and east. Don't go south or west yet. You'll find yourself severly suffering after being killed there a couple of times. Go to Earth to get into the UE trading program. As soon as you build your cash flow by becoming a trader, you can start getting better weapons and better ships. I suggest aiming for an arada or scoutship. Then build up your combat rating by destroying renegades or voinians (unless you want to become one of those). This game is slow and boring at first but soon it becomes awesome. You'll find yourself smiling as you are kicking the voinian dreadnoughts @$$ in your UE Cruiser with 6 Igazras as your escorts and 5 UE fighters and 8 Azdaras pouring out of your unbeatable ship. One of the things I like about this games is it's freedom. You can side with any goverment you want and kick some serious @$$.

Don't give up yet! This is the best game I have played (and basicly beaten) in a long time.

Well, what's really fun about EV/O is the freedom and customizability. You can do whatever you want to do (in the scope of the game), and you can choose any path. Strike it rich trading on risky routes, or succumb to the dark side and rob innocent freighters. Design your own ultimate ship. Drop in a plugin, and add an addition to the story or begin a completely new experience. Have fun - EV is a great game.
