Star Pirates; ARRR!

A bunch of us NS RP old guard have gotten sucked into a fun little game called Star Pirates. It's just what it sounds like: you're a star pirate. Arr.

Linky

Note: Yes, there's a referral tag on that URL, but don't fret: it's not like outwar. All the referral does is give me a small bonus if anyone who uses it donates to the game. So no spam there or anything. Donating isn't really required to do well in the game, it just speeds things up. Or gives you in-game cash as the donation items are "points" which you can use or sell. Also, you can find items that autosell for points, so even non-donators can get points for "free".

Anyway, it's pretty fun, and can be played rather easily in the background while doing other stuff.

A word of warning: it looks stupidly complex, but it actually isn't. Once you noodle around a little, you can pick up everything. And you aren't going to cripple yourself if you make a "mistake" or anything. Even if you're killed, it's more of a few minute long time out. And since you can't be attacked while repairing, it's a good time for doing things that require cash on hand (cash on hand can be taken by other players; cash in the bank cannot, so always bank).

It looks like there's about 35,000 accounts, so the game is still growing, and quite friendly.

And, wow, you'd think I was getting paid for this... heh.

I'm in a fleet, yeah. One of the RP groups from NS: Triumvirate of Yut. I'm sure there'd be no complaints about letting the AO gang hook up. I don't think there's a limit to how many people can be in a fleet anyway :D

This sounds fun. Unfortunately I'm overwhelmed with RL chores right now. I'll try it out if/when I have time.
