i played it for about an hour its ok the graphics are pretty nice but the npc that you fight don't seem that hard / give you much challenge but. i'm assuming pvp is what makes the game fun. the mission could get harder as well as the NPC, i guess i just need to play it some more to see.

yes there is lvls you get gear when you do mission and kill other ships

Good for a few hours at a time but not 10 hours. I found  turning the planes to be dam annoying.

I played the beta some months ago so im not sure if they changed anything, but i deleted it in 20 mins.

Good idea, but seems like  a very low budget and amateuristic project.

Space Cowboy is the absolute most boring MMO I've ever tried - probably in part because it's not completely awful on the level of say, 2Moons or City of Heroes. Thank goodness I'm so fond of boring MMOs. Downloading now.

It's kinda fun to play - give a bit of break from the average fantasy hack-and-slash type games.

I have gone a couple hours or soe at a time leveling; but, I wouldn't ever replace my World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, etc. with this game.

Overall though - it isn't too bad for being free.

Just copy and pasted my reply to another post on this same subject:

The game just went under a huge expansion as of 2 days ago. It's still very buggy because the GM's actually ASKED the players if we wanted to help test it or just wait until the final, polished version. Naturally we all voted to test it early ;D

As per the game itself, it's a heavily skill based game. This is NOT your standard "Point, click, throw in some skills and move to the next guy" MMO. The actual avatar variety IS somewhat poor, I'd agree, but you're only not in your gear (plane) when you're in town, maybe 10% of your time. Unlike other MMO's, you control EVERYTHING you do. Altitude, strafing, barrel rolls, speed, boosts, you can even fly upside down if you turn off autobalance (though I recommend keeping it on for a bit while you get used to everything). The grind is made easier because the GM's introduced a 50% extra EXP bonus because they didn't want it to be so much a grind game.

But enough about the grind, that's the LEAST important portion of this game. This game is ALL ABOUT the PvP. The wars are amazing. There is so much strategy and skill involved when fighting someone else, that it far outdoes any other MMO I've ever played. The maneuverability offered in this game surpasses most, if not all, other MMO's I've even read about. I grant you that PvP is hard for the lower levels, depending on your "class" (in game known as "gear"), but as you war more (and warring should be done more then grinding as you level up, it's just way too much fun) and get better, the game in it's entirety will open itself to you. From Major Mothership Wars and Strategic Point Battles (both are nation vs. nation), to small skirmishes and raiding the opposing nation's maps (there are safe zones to grind in without fear of being pummeled by a high level raider), this game has more PvP Opportunities then you can shake a stick at.

The community is amazing. After all the versions of this game that I have played, this is by far the most helpful, fun, and talkative bunch I've found. The GM's are above and beyond any GM in ANY game I've ever played, hosting daily presents at 5:25 EST, as well as random events thrown in every few days or so, consistently. You won't go even one week without a GM event. Not only that, but many times the GM's will visit, answer questions, and just hang out with the player base to get a feel for how things are going.

I'm not someone who just played this game for a few days or hours, I've logged months into this game in all 3 versions and have experienced everything this game has to offer, and it's a 10/10.

To sum it up, if you want to PvP on a massive scale in a way that actually takes skill, and not simple point, click, and throw in skills, this game is for you. There are thousands of variants of items and hundreds of upgrades available, and best of all, it's NOT a Cash Shop based game. I haven't purchased a single thing and am still on par with those who buy a LOT. Granted my weapons are not QUITE as good, but the skill factor in this game far outweighs any amount of Cash Shopping.

And just a heads up, if you find "turning the planes" annoying, this game isn't for you. I never found it that hard to move my mouse left or right, while holding A or D for a sharper/wider turn all that hard.

Oh hey Bashy xD

In this game you need to actually get to at least lvl 50 before you judge this game as ''boring'', because the real fun doesn't start till the late 4x, early 5x when you start making a difference in huge wars.

Don't play for 20 Mins and say: Boring, game stupid, i quit.

Actually play it for a bit and you'll find the real fun and the hardcore PVP in the game.

And it indeed isn't cash shop dependant, this game is all about skills.

How can you judge any MMO based on the first 20 mins?

There are plenty out there that I feal as though are crap, but I gave them at least untill lvl 40 - 60 depending on server level caps to get interesting.

What I like about Ace Online is that the game is more
