1. Since im a complete newb does this mean im going to be put in a far away galaxy with other newbs that log in once and never log in again / account farmers with no politics.

Galaxy's next round will have 2/3 buddy packs of to at most 3 people, and the rest of gal will be filled up with randoms, so there is a very large chance that the guys from the budy packs will be active alliance people (though payed randoms will be shuffled into buddypacks first)

2. are there these huge super alliances that noone would dare attack unless they fancied getting raped by 200+ people who most are in the top 10 and were generally unstoppable. think they were called Fury back in the day, i really cant remeber.
|
Hehe, Fury and Legion back in the good old days, got raped by them a few time
Since alliance limit is now 100 members there can't be memberwise superalliance, and the #1 alliance last round won with 66 members and had twice score/roids as #2 alliance which has 100 members.... Won't go further into this cause this will cause flame war
It's long not as bad as it was.

3. Since this game is erm, old now does it still have lots of newcomers etc, back in the day i seem to have caught it just before the craze, or is it just filled up with old dogs who roid hunt depending on the amount of allies they have?

Good mix of noobs and experienced players

4. is this game still strangly addictive and you tend to spend every hour of the day online waiting for the "tick" so you can purchase scanners / what ever collects roids asap.
|
Hehe *thinks back to the last month of r12 where I got most nights at most 5 hrs of sleep, and was on 10+ hrs a day going to bed at 4am, getting back up between 8 and 10* So yes

5. in the case that there are alliances, any chance i can sign up to one of them so i can be taken under somones wing. (basically i just dont want to be easy picking for everyone else in the game.. if possible).

Good number of alliances that would probebly take you, look around on forums and alliance recruitment forum.

7. anything else anyone want to add if you see where im coming from. (if any of you actually played this game when it first came out! )
|
Game has changed a lot since you last played, there are 4 different races with each different strengths/weaknesses/special abilities, each ship targets only 1 other shipclas, the maximum number of asteroids you can mine and get recourses from is 8000, and that's if you have all mining researches done (there are a LOT) You can initiate roids if you have the recourses, you no longer have to scan and find them before you can init.
Any more questions just ask
Read around a bit on the forums as well to get a bit more up to date.
