Dezmo here, checking in from the Beta Antini System. If you haven't had a chance to check out Bigpoint's browser based space game, it would be a great idea if you did. Behind me is a human outpost ship, one of the many moons and the blazing light from a star. My Rhino is in the foreground. It's quite a hearty little ship. Off to make some Cylons pay!Sci-fi week continues tomorrow: Are you loving Perpetuum? Immersed in Battlestar Galactica Online? Beta testing Black Prophecy?

Skip this one entirely. If you want a f2p space shooter go try black prophecy.
The cash shop ruined BSGO right from the start. Being able to buy levels and anything in game, with enough cash you can be max level with the best ship and gear in the game in about an hour.
For a game that so heavily revolves around PVP they sure where stupid about that cash shop. The term pay to win has never been more accurate than with BSGO.

@arodriguezc So far, its completely based in combat, mostly PVP. There are some newbies missions and dailies, but the main feature is the Space combat, which i like it.
If you want to try it, go ahead and try, its on Open Beta, so no need for invites or keys.

Fun game, played it for like an hour and enjoyed the combat. Though as soon as I started walking around with my character in a space station it killed it for me. I'll keep an eye out on this though.

Do the BSG theme song or All Along the Watchtower play in the background at any point during this game?
That would be all I needed to jump aboard.

@PrimeSynergy
Did I mention that they just threw the ENTIRE BSG STORY out the window? You're not looking for Earth, you're not running from Cylons... in fact, your goal is to exterminate the Cylons and start colonies.
What I would have liked to see, is an MMO based on the first Human/Cylon war.

played this like 10 mins then got sick of sloppy control over ship.
maybe it's because of the windowed mode but it was annoying to head the ship with the keyboard or mouse.
I have to say that on the control part Black Prophecy is far better, more action oriented and twitch based.
still, I don't play either of those.
