    No monthly fees? Check. Player run economy? Check (albeit not great due to lack of activity). Good PvP? Same issues are Eve (new players cannot really compete). The best PvP MMO you never heard of? Yes.

    It is a copy of Eve but in mechs and is about as complex. It less frustrating than Eve since there are real safe zones where you can learn and earn whereas in Even you can get ganked anywhere which is a little silly for people just starting. You also dont needs months to get into the biggest mechs which is great. But there are some things that bring it down.

    #1 - Its clearly a low budget game. Graphics are not up to par for its time and the content is limited. There are not a lot of mechs to play with and the economy is currently a mess due to some changes the devs made recently (too much money, nothing to buy).

    #2 - Low population. There are enough out there for PvP every day, but the economy is not very active.

    #3 - Just like Eve, new players are at a huge disadvantage in both money for mechs and gear to assigned traits and skills. The veterans will have huge bonuses, move twice as fast, and hit twice as hard (if note more) and like Eve, there are grievers but due to lower population, its not as bad.

    #4 - An extension to #3 above... Time based experience system... just like Eve. It sucks in Eve, and it sucks here as well. It slants the game significantly in favor of the older players which is not very tactically fun.

    Overall however, it is a good MMO and did I mention it is only $10 retail? And no monthly fees? This goes a long way in these type of games so if you can skip a movie ticket next week, pick this one up and give it a shot. Once you are get over the initial learning hump, its fun... until someone in an overpowering mech comes after you while gathering resources or transporting stuff and kill you in 10 seconds flat (including locking time) somehow... then you realize just how imbalanced the game is for newbies.    … Expand
