Evochron or any StarWraith3dgames

Well, I never cease to look for a good joystick game and since I got too much involved into online games (anything that is close or actually a space sim) I found long time ago this webpage but didnt really get into it until now:

starwraith3dgames.home.att.net/go.htm

There are different types of games (depends on your taste but all of them are space sim/joystick oriented) there. Graphics are not too good though and still some bugs when you dock in a planet (yes, you actually entry the planet and land on a platform manually or auto when you get close) However, the Evochron game has potential from my Aerospace Eng. point of view plus it could get up to 24 people online. There are 3 other space sim game there where 2 of them are pure PvP/team oriented (starlancer type and more) Anyway, I just tried the demos so far on each so it would be nice to have some other input.

I love this community here but i found out that it has been too long since I use a joystick (because of the mouse oriented market) that I got too rusty playing with it. I have a blast/fun/great time playing with OP and Petrus in Starlancer and I definitly want to get back to play Joystick oriented game (especially now that my wife is getting me a new Joystick) I have played so far too much mouse oriented game such as Eve Online, Earth and Beyond (before it closed down) and of course Freelancer. But to tell you the truth, I miss my online time in jumpgate. I tried to come back there these last days with my old account but support is not as they use too be at Themis. Now that my currency exchange problem is temporaly solved I can afford to buy or rent some stuff at least for this year so Im planning to do that.

Anyway, i want you guys to check this site out, especially EVOCHRON and tell me what you think, espacially you, OP, I value your input on it.

Sincerely,

Update from Evochron Playground

OP, I tested the new version of Evochron and the only thing that is not good is the graphics. I think the developer concentrated a lot on the games space dinamic and interactions rather than moddelling. A lot of bugs were fixed since my last tried. Also, for my Aerospace Eng. point of view this (taking out the graphics and some weird AI behavior) this game is the closest you will get on space sim. You have like 10 degrees of freedom here. That mean true control on lateral and vertical thruster, inertial motion, and lot of things close to real space but much easier of course (like jumping 20 years from now in the future of AE equipment) I sent an email to the developer and he told me that there like 30 more system that could be configure for the game. Besides, it is joystick driven and the control were set easy enough to not spoil the fun. In few words, it feel real, more than JumpGate was to me.
