Once or twice a week I log in, stop mining (cargo full), go to space, land immediately at debran, sell all the stuff for ~1M, go to space, land immediately to one of the three moons and start mining.

It's basically very stupid game 'cause theres not much to do. Loosing interest.

I couldn't be bothered to find out what happened with the two accounts I had.

I have two quest for it, but they don't pay enough to buy it from the merchant, much less transport it to where it needs to go. Ok... So, I hopped back on for a few days this week just to goof around. Calvaxium is supposed to be in the Andromeda Galaxy. I went flying around to see if I could find anything. Eventually, I took the Jumpgate to Festus-d. The marketplace on that planet has a lot of calvaxium which I took to mean someone had been mining nearby and was selling it there. I have been able to find calvaxium so far is one of the Festus-d moons- Festus-d1. After about an hour of mining, I turned up 18 so far. I haven't managed to mine it successfully in any other star system so far. I'll be trying some of the other Festus planets/moons this week to see if there's any luck with them. In all honesty, though, I'll probably buy Elite: Dangerous this weekend off Steam and never look back at Space2200 once I have it.

Thanks, I had finally found it there myself. It's slow mining, but I was able to get enough to finish the quests I had. I found out there's a maximum of 10 quests you can have on your list at any time. So I no longer accept every quest I find. It was nice to be able to get both those quests off the list, I won't be adding them again. Not worth the effort.


Does anybody have a jump drive yet? If so, where can you go with it? I've got a good engine now that will allow me to go to pretty much any planet/moon in Sol, Alpha Centuari, Festus, & Debran. I had hoped that some of the farther planets/moons would offer higher value mining goods, but for the most part, it's the same junk as usual. I'm hoping that once I add a jump drive, maybe I can go to some of those other systems shown on the big map that don't have a chart course (like Cardonal, Granara, etc) and find some goodies. Just wondering if anybody has already tried this and whether it works. Basically, just wondering if I'm working towards wasting my efforts or if there might actually be something worthwhile there.

It would be nice if space2200 had it's own forum for players to ask questions. Kind silly that players would need to go to one of Melderon's other games for any kind of forum.

Well, I went to one of those system, but regular flight. Ran out of fuel shortly after leaving the originating system, still made it to the other system, landed on a planet, mined until full, then lifted off and currently on the way back to the originating system, still with no fuel. It took an extremely long time to make the trip. Something like a week or so.

The trip was from Alpha Centuari to Proxima Centauri. I chose to land on Proxima Centauri C, the planet listed as Terrestrial (animal life), to see if there was anything interesting about it. Mined normal stuff, both minerals and gas there. Nothing new or interesting about the planet.

I've been playing this game a while now, mostly because it doesn't take much time to run through what's needed. I have to wonder though, if there are any plans for updates. This has gotten very boring, mining, selling, occasionally making some trade runs when I find a good deal. I've already bought everything available to buy. Eventually, I'll have enough latinum to buy a bigger ship, but then it's still back to the same old stuff. Sure, I could attack others, but I can actually get more mining and trading than I get from stealing. So the only enjoyment from attacking in my opinion is just so I can be a douchebag towards someone else. Not something I find interesting. The only thing I thought might be interesting left was the other star systems that we had yet to be able to visit, however after a visit to what was potentially the most interesting planet, and it turned out to the same as all other non-populated planets. I see no further reason to continue.

Oh well, another game with tons of potential gone to waste.
