HydroMafia is an unknown quantity at this point
general info

use to play this when it first came out but stopped when they made us pay to play. ANYWAY, came back and realized pay is now an optional method. so i decided to sign up, despite my fustration in not being able to log in as the next round has not started yet. i just wanted to ask some questions that i probably could find my self by searching the forums but i really cba.

Anyway, here it goes.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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).

6. When will the next round start aprox?

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! )

I think you'll have restrictions on your account, but i can't remember what they are. Stop being lazy and search on the forums for them as they're on here.

Number of people in an alliance is now limited to 100. Some alliances are viewed as "untouchable" though this is mainly because of the way that the other big alliances act, naming no names here

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)

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.

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

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

Announcements.

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.

I think the way it is now its even more addictive than when I started of in round 2
When I left round 6 (short term memory) and came back in end of rd11 and start of r12 I could'nt sleep with out 1 last check just incase.
And JGP yourself is a habit nowadays (jumpgate probe you will learn )

Re: general info

I think you'd be surprised how many old players are still around, HydroMafia. I for one have played every round. I have to say that, when round 10 started, I wasnt too impressed; but after the small updates made for 10.5 and 11, the game has grown on me and I started to enjoy it again
