Anyone wanna play? I've already installed it.

[Hydralisk]

Explain the game first plz?

[EineBeBoP]

Immerse yourself in "Nexus - The Jupiter Incident", the latest surprise to hit the gaming world! Innovative and groundbreaking, it is a real-time mission-based tactical space game featuring spectacular real time battles and breathtaking motion picture quality. Focus on tactics and action as you control up to a dozen battleships encountering aliens, unknown solar systems and astrophysical phenomena in your struggle to save Earth.

At the dawn of the 22nd century the conquest of space and the colonization of the solar system is being monopolized by several huge and ambitious megacorporations. Although extremely delicate and vulnerable, a balance is maintained by these companies. It has now been 60 years since the terrible catastrophe that befell Noah's Ark, the first colony ship of mankind.
At the very edge of the solar system the companies make a discovery which will shift the technological advantage and upset the balance. And so a new conflict is born: "The Jupiter Incident". You are Marcus Cromwell, a young but already famous captain. With your legendary spaceship Stiletto you find yourself in the middle of the conflict.

�Nexus � The Jupiter Incident� is what we call a TFS: a Tactical Fleet Simulator. It�s like nothing you�ve played before. The strong, elaborate story takes you from mission to mission and allows different approaches. It�s up to you which tactics you choose to bring each mission to a good end. A reward system enables you to repair, upgrade and enhance your ships depending on the approach you chose. Mission briefings let you roam through an unbelievably accurate 3D animated star map system.

Are you ready to take on the challenge�?

"Nexus - The Jupiter Incident" is due for release 1st of October 2004.


Looks pretty and PC gamer said it had great potential if they fixed a few minor things.

[Onizuka]

Maybe...

[Hamma]

Looks interesting.

[Giovanni]

If my computer wouldnt be so shitty I'd go ahead and jump in with you... by the way your sig is in your PM Eine... you might have to fix the background color, you were right I was off like a decimal on the color code :doh:.

[Sentrosi]

If you want to beat up someone, I'll be your huckleberry.

I hate RTS, but I'll give this one a shot.

[Fehronozova]

Real-time strategy takes brains. :)

[AztecWarrior]

[EineBeBoP]

[EineBeBoP]

[AztecWarrior]

[Gigabein]

Blast!

Looks like you can set a custom port in the Multiplayer Options

[EineBeBoP]

dosent help. i set a port (56) and opepend it up via firewall and couldnt do crap.

[Everay]

it may not be the game for you people anyways, its not like freelancer, if its in space, i doubt it will be like freelancer. this game isnt even like Homeworld, its more deep than that. this game IMO will get a cult following, but a small one. the graphics though, are fuckin stellar, it looks real purty. thats about as much as im gonna explain it.

[Hamma]

Thank you for that detailed review.

:D

[Hezzy]

Is it complex to play?

[Everay]

its doesnt need to be complex, but you can play it complex, you can control everything on your ships, from what weapon is fireing at what enemy, to what weapon is fireing at what part of said enemy ship, power to engines sheilds and weapons, when to launch fighters or bombers, what weapons you want fireing at all, any special abilities the ship may have, like one of em has a large sheild, ect ect.

[AztecWarrior]

I hate how you can't rotate the screen: view is stuck on one object.

[Everay]

you can, i dont remember what the button is, but you can.

[Mr1337Duck]

It is so fucking beautiful. I'm getting the SP Demo now. I'll give my review of that in a sec.

[Mr1337Duck]

Okay, I've played SP demo now, and it's pretty good. I'll look into it later on.

[Dharkbayne]

Edit button.



Pretty fun, I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time, though.

[Mr1337Duck]

Wouldn't let me edit, too long between posts.

[Hamma]

I installed, couldent figure out how to move within 1 minute. Uninstalled.

[Everay]

moving is really unimportant, you let you AI do that, whats important is picking targets, selecting what weapon for what target, wether to go for their sheilds or attempt to break through the sheilds and go for the hull ( depending on the weapons installed on the ship, pretty much its Anti Hull, Anti Sheilds, and Will prolly break through shields and hit the hull)

And there's precision weapons for taking out systems (engines, guns, sensors, etc.)


Too bad you can't reverse the tachyon pulse or rout all power to the subsonic generator relay. :(


Or ram them. :(

[hazzer2007]

long wait time to start downloading (60 min) but its 0120 in the uk (you americans must be using the UK server :( )

*Edit*

taking too long, try tomorow when you americans are asleep.

you can manage your ships power supply, basicaly all it consists of is setting the limit to one section of the ship, say your ship has extra power not being used because everything is at 100%, well you can up it to 200%, but your ship wont have enough power to do that to all the systems. its in the manual control settings, to the left of the bar at the bottom.

I know.


But what abiout ROUTING ALL POEWR TO THE SUBSONIC GENERATORS?!

[Everay]

umm, to do that, you switch from your combat engine, to whatever other engine you have installed, like the anti matter engine.

[1024]

I installed, couldent figure out how to move within 1 minute. Uninstalled.
:lol: when i looked at your avatar it looked agrivated.

[Neon Apocalypse]

[Dharkbayne]

looks like eve, with more options

No, because this game you actually fight. No mining.


I like warping ships in & out, it's so pretty. And cloaking them.

[hazzer2007]

good game. Downloaded muti and single demo, a bit hard with no tutoral.

+ when i went online, there was no-one, we need to arange a time.

[NightWalker XI]
