Ack, I seem to have started a trend.
Cool.
Ok, time to critique:
The humor... Hmmm, well, I didn't laugh at it, but there WAS humor, which is a plus.
Writing: Your writing didn't bore me or anything, but it needed details. Details, i say! First, you didn't tell us what system you started in. All you said was, UN Shipping mission. I knew what you were talking about, but I bet all the unenlightened PC users did not. However, you did explain why you bought the heavy shuttle, which is a plus.
Images: Yay, title tags! The images were done in my style, which I would like to say I do not mind. They were... Pretty good, but needed to be cropped a little more. But you needed about 50 more maps. Where is Codehaven? The PC users are asking. Maps!
Overall: Not bad. Needs work, but you can do it. Also, you need to draw George having blood-dripping fangs. Also possibly a large army behind him. Remember that.

Yeah, I was light on humor because this was a Non-EVN Player's Intro to EVN. I guess I could have just said "Read Eldritch's Report" but I wanted to explain.
But I did tell what system I started in! Quote-"It all began at Port Kane in the Kania system."
There's more to the name than UN Shipping?
I had one map at the end, but that does not satisfy the Map Ogd Elritch, :(.
Also, George just brushed his teeth, he's got a date. That's why his fangs aren't bloody. |

LuckyNewbie-Could you say why it was awful? Poor writing, bad pictures, sub-par drawing of George? |

Whoops, you DID say what system you were starting on. Excuse me while I go eat my words.
*pause*
Mmmf. OK, I should have been clearer about the UN Shipping thing. What I mean't was, it was sort of like here's my name, here's my ship's name, oh boy! United shipping. For all I know you got in at the spaceport. Try to say where you got it, i.e bar, mission computer, ect. |

Amazing, another EV:N report, and not to break a trend, twas even less exiting than the last. All of half a dozen systems (there's a few hundred) has been uncovered, yet there's been spent a couple hours abusing a game design flaw (frigate escorts) to amass cash.
I've already finished the storylines, and quite frankly doing cash runs was the most tedius part of each game by far. Why not some actually interesting fights like EE did, eg gutsy short range runs v capital ships? Or grab a lightning and take down a (~60x cost) manticore via harras instead of blowing up asteroids?
We don't need another "Hey, I started with a puny ship, look how weak I am! Now I go get rich kk?" report, that's what the demo is for. |

I find it more fun to run BBS missions and try to make them match when I gather cash. BTW, the Mod Starbridge owns Y00 (try new Ireland, they make the best :). But the again, if you're a pirate...
...and 900 -> 1125 isn't a 200 cred profit. ;)
Nice short read though. |

Alright Sere, my next report will be especially for your entertainment.
Instead of using a cash run, I'll take 300 BBS missions so I can afford a junky ship.
Then, I'll repeatedly go after Auroran Cruisers with my amazing Anaconda. Sadly, that's all I can afford even though I did pointless mindless "Ferry X" and "Deliver X" and "Urgent Deliver X" until I had 250k credits.
Berra, yes the Mod Starbridge is great. I have another pilot with one.
Also, I decided to round. 25 credits won't buy you two rounds of chaingun ammo, it's worthless.
If it's a design flaw, why were trade centers put into the game? Why can frigates be hired? It takes capital to start up! You can't go from 5k to 1 million. You have to get around 100k at least first.
This community ticks me off. |

What's this, the Magic Bengaalas could find no Sere reports?

| keep checking the bar at the spöb(planet) where you recive all the rebal missions(merrol i think it could be?), fairly frequently you'll talk the the guy(i forget his name) and he'll move you up the ladder. |
| #27 Pr0be[143868] |
| dpc6682009018.direcpc.com |
| Yup. That's it if you're in the Vell-os storyline. Check the Merrol bar in Aldebaran. |

Most missions are all about Earth.
Pr0be, if memory serves, I went from about 14k to about 1.3M in a single engagement. I'll post it in . . . two reports, I think, since I have to maintain my story arc.
Good to see another EV:N report! =) |

I did the Vell-os campain as well. It's kind of like the Federation one that EE is doing, but from a different perspective (A slave instead of a volunteer) and the inability to buy good stuff. You do get cool 'ships' though...
Good report, but it's too short. Wait longer so you can get a decent amount of words. |
| #32 Berra[144044] |
| h40n1fls32o814.telia.com |
Hmm, if my post offended you I take it back. I was only kidding.
But then again 25 creds multiplied with your total cargohold will buy you many rounds of chaingun ammo. (still just pulling your leg :) |
