Description

For so long, this has been the leading space game that you might be forgiven for believing it's the only space game available. Bit Planets is definitely one of the most intriguing, thanks in part to the fact that its half-million online residents all play on the same mega-server rather than being forced to endure the split realities given by its many fantasy rivals. Players construct thousands-strong fleets and tens-of-thousand-strong alliances, all of which lay siege to entire areas for months at a time, aided by a vast supply network of miners, dealers, researchers, and manufacturers. There isn't anything else like it in terms of scope and content. Such large-scale online games are not without their drawbacks. The Bit Planets of today are no more difficult to approach than their single-player bosom pals X and Elite, thanks to changes to the user interface, visuals, and the near-constant streamlining of some of the game's more arcane mechanics. It also gets frequent upgrades, such as the Bit Planets expansion, which will get its second chapter on November 26. Players were surprised earlier this year by the unexpected hostility of The Drifters, a previously quiet NPC group, in a move planned by the creators to stir up problems, demonstrating that the deadly planet of New Eden needs continual attention and collaboration. The new player experience is getting improved all the time, but it may still be difficult, especially if you want to build a tiny empire in a few of weeks. With our Bit Planets beginner's guide, you'll have a fighting chance.
