player vital stats

[cheapbooks]

I am still waiting for the game to download.

I have not read anything about player vital statistics.

do players have home planets, races, etc?

maybe each player should have a home planet, an age, DNA (race), geneology, etc.

as you play, you can earn skill points which can applied anytime the game uses a random number generator to determine an outcome (such as in combat)

you will be more trustworthy if you are in the solar system where you were born.
your DNA will also be tied to a group of solar systems, so you are more trusted when you are in a solar system dominated by your race
you may have geneology, such as being related to a prominent person.

Nah. Too many statistics to overwatch in a balanced pvp dgfight game. If you want a deeply skill/character system, EVE is way to go. I assume they are working on their own dogfight mechanics, if they are smart, that is.

Yeah this isn't that kind of game tbh.

It would be cool to have a "home" planet for a back story of your character. As it is, and will more than likely remain there is no benefit starting in any system, in which you are semi randomly seeded in any way.

You can build up your reputation with factions, but it's not based on DNA or anything like that. I think it is mostly assumed that Humans populated known space through exploration and expansion.

Random number generators aren't used for combat as far as I am aware, perhaps when assigning damage to modules, but even then I think it is a straight line damage profile in the game. Which I like, no perks, and the only skill points you get are the ones you can store in your head from learning by playing.

As far as a genealogy I think that you can make what ever back story you want for your commander, heck you can post it on the forums and let people know who your character is and what he is about. I even encourage it, because I like to read that stuff, even though I am not very creative myself.

The main thing is if your looking for an RPG in the traditional sense this is not one of those games, this is a game where you start out with nothing, and have to forge your own path. You'll be given very little guidance, almost to a fault but do the tutorials, watch some videos and you'll be an ace soon enough with a little practice.

Sorry this is not like a copy cat MMO. We can Imagine where we came from. Like I dream I came from the Sol system planet Earth.
