这是 Artemis 海盗联盟 FYAD 的领导 Deat Saw 写的, 我想 FYAD 这名子 kazh 大应该也听过. 这是从我们的联盟的论坛 copy 过来的, 有些图片连结已经失效了, 就将就点吧. 还有这礼拜五就要口试了, 实在没时间翻译这个. orz 大概讲几个重点: pardus 是个自由的 MMORPG, 就像是宇宙版本的大航海时代. 第一特点曾经做了什麽决定都可以随时反悔. 像是加入了不想要的阵营都可以随时离脱..etc 当然种族跟性别除外. 种族只影响起始点, 一点点技能和装备, 不过只要玩了久以後影响可以说没有, 性别是完全无影响的. 第二个特点就是他是使用 AP 系统的, 一天有 5760 点.(每 6 分钟给你 24 点) 玩 pardus 可以不用像 ogame 那样爆肝. :P 只要龟到安全点(行星, starbase..etc)上发呆个几小时都没人能碰你. pardus 发展到现在已经有六年了, 游戏内容相当丰富, 想当个商人, 佣兵, 赏金猎人或是干走私贩, 毒品商人各种黑心的事也可以. :P 有兴趣的麻烦自己阅读一下吧. -- THREAD TITLE: Pardus Recruitment Drive - I've got the drugs, you've got the guns, let's make lots of money! Yes, I know that thread title is a reference to the Pet Shop Boys and as awesome as the Pet Shop Boys are, this is a thread about http://pardus.at/ which is just as awesome. We're expanding rapidly in the amount of space that we own in the Artemis server and we need more goons to make sure we don't crumble under the burden of owning all of this neat shit we've recently acquired. This is where you, the goon reading this thread comes in to assist us in our long-term goal for conquering the Pardus universe! So what is Pardus, you're asking by now? Good question! Pardus is a free browser MMO (with optional premium membership for access to more goodies) where you fly around in space and perform trading and exploration in similar vein to the Elite and X series. The coolest thing about Pardus however is that almost every action you make is reversible except for what race and gender you pick, but it's not like they really matter anyway unless you don't want to play as a female crab crackwhore anymore and would rather be a male lizard crackwhore instead, then you're kinda screwed there and you'll have to make a new character from scratch. Why you would want to do that however is beyond me, since we barely get involved in the whole roleplay aspect of the game for a good reason... DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA being the main reason, cybersex in the roleplay chat room being the other Where was I again? Oh yeah, I was explaining why Pardus is my preferred time sink and I shall do it by mostly copy and pasting from the previous thread: Screenshots I figure getting screenshots out of the way first will get rid of half of the people who'll look at it and go "ugh this game looks like an ugly piece of crap". Well what were you expecting, flashy next-gen pixel shading whizbang 3D features with bloom?! It's a browser MMO damnit, and quite frankly I think it looks good for a browser MMO. You can install your own imagepacks but I'm not linking to those because I don't use them and I can't be fucked searching for them: Navigation screen, this is typically what you see when you're in a developed sector. Note that the fuel has been stripmined to shit in this area Some NPCs here and there, a few buildings and a planet. This also partially shows off a cool Greasemonkey script that adds quick links to commands Check out these stats! (they're ok) A list of NPC kills is shown directly below in the left table but that's not worth seeing Ship equipment screen, showing off my ship in the older server Automatic news entries! This is what it typically looks like during peacetime and here's what it looks like during wartime If you become a notorious pirate and you stay alive long enough to collect bounties on your head, someone (typically a group ambushing at a chokepoint) will eventually hunt you down! Why should Goons play Pardus? It stands out from other browser MMOs with the large amount of random events, very strong participation from the community and a deep amount of role-playing with a rich history. Like I said above, goons pretty much don't care about the whole RP aspect of the game since we think most of those RPers are dramawhores and we generally like to make fun of them at any occasion within reasonable limits. That said, they do like to warmonger and that's a-ok in my book because I love PvP! Pardus is also actively developed and it's noticeable by the size of the universe map, which is pretty damn big for a browser MMO. There's 381 sectors to fly around in and at an average of 20x20 tiles per sector, that's pretty damn huge if you ask me. Pardus is skill-based, not level-based. There is some grind to access bigger ships, but there's nothing wrong with small fighters like the bitchin' Viper Defense Craft and the Shadow Stealth Craft! Interceptors suck though and carry a bad stigma of being overused by newbie pirates. Nobody cares about Marauders. Another thing is that Pardus encourages casual playing due to the AP system, which dictates everything from moving, trade and combat. You start off with 5000 AP and you receive 24 AP per six minutes (5760 a day) up to a maximum of 5000 (5500 with premium, up to an additional 500 with advanced skills) which means powergaming won't get you far unless you can successfully camp the best NPC spots. It takes roughly 15-20 minutes to use up 5000 AP on average so it's perfect to play if you're having a break at school, work or if you're leeching off public wifi! It's also Goon-made, as one of the admins posts here under the guise of Baldur. He's quite a busy man so if you need help, you can ask me (Deat Saw in Artemis) since Baldur appointed me as an official Guide, or anyone else who will read this thread and has decent knowledge about Pardus. Cool things to do in Pardus * Be a pirate! Raid buildings, steal from players, send players back to their homeworld, get bountied. That's pretty much the circle of life for a pirate in Pardus. If you choose this career path it's strongly recommended to become neutral as soon as you have your ideal ship and have decent combat skills, or you will get raped very quickly. * On the flipside, be a bounty hunter and shoot down pirates and other people who do evil things to deserve bounties! There's two types of bounties, those given by a faction (for getting caught while hacking or selling illegal commodities to the black market) and those given by a player for whatever reason, usually piracy or drama. * Become a hacker, find out information about the locations of a pilot and their buildings and sell (or give) your services to other people! Be prepared to avoid bounty hunters in the early stages of your hacking career! * Get involved in faction wars! Wars are fun! * Make shitloads of money with trading! Demand for drugs, droids and robots are pretty high, and people will pay up to 16k per ton for a hit of the good shit. With the right local economy, you can make a profit of upwards of 400k a day, and considering an excellent fighter setup costs somewhere within the 12 to 45 million mark... Factions and Syndicates There's four races you can choose in Pardus, but all they do is give you a small bonus on certain skills (or a shitty trader ship if you choose Ska'ari) and pretty much indicate where you start in the universe. Factions are a completely different subject. Fortunately you don't need to be tied down to a specific faction and you can choose to be neutral and not affiliated with any faction, but being involved in a faction generally gives you the most benefits and is easier for a newbie. The goon alliance caters for all three factions so you won't get ganked if decide to pick the Union over the Empire or the Federation. Here's a quick rundown of each faction: Federation: Nice ships and better drives Empire: Better missiles and more types of conventional weaponry Union: Better shields, large assortment of special equipment like cloakers and ECCMs (they nullify ECMs which increase the chance of dodging missiles) Take note that by switching factions, you will lose all of the rank you have accumulated and faction-specific equipment you own will not be repairable unless you find a X-993 Drone. Once you reach the tenth rank in your faction of choice, you will gain access to the respective faction council where you can put in a vote for peace or war. Isn't it neat to manipulate the outcome of life in Pardus? All you really need to know about the Syndicates is: The Shadow Syndicate is awesome if you're a neutral who either owns Drug Stations and Slave Camps or is a pirate The Esteemed Pilots Syndicate sucks ass and is only useful for roleplaying. Seriously, the EPS ships are crap because you can't use faction equipment in them and you need to grind competency for them, what the shit?! Griefing Griefing is pretty much an essential part to any decent MMO, and Pardus is no exception. The most basic form of griefing is killing newbies who are too stupid to sit on wormholes, planets or starbases. If you can't find newbies sitting in open space, the next best thing to do is to go to a homeworld sector and constantly set up ambushes a few tiles away from fuel collectors and send fake distress calls that you're out of fuel. Do it enough times (three times usually does the trick) and some trader is bound to fall victim: There's much more sophisticated methods of griefing such as economic sabotage, but that's not really my forte except for one time when I stole 134 tons of really expensive commodities from a weakly defended TO, earned 3.6 million from that endeavour and was one of the most successful raids done in Artemis by a single pilot! Of course, the best way to deal with annoying (role) players is to be even more over-the-top in dramatic bullshit than they are. It's not that hard with enough practice! Fortunately, my hard efforts of playing as a pirate and griefing has paid off to the extent that I'm currently ranked fourth in the most prolific killers list and that my alliance is currently ranked first as the alliance with the highest average PvP kills per member. Add my massive ego to those impressive feats, is it no wonder that I'm declared the Pirate King of Artemis? v:shobon:v I want to know more! I'm trying to keep this post as short as possible so go read the manual, it's one of the most detailed and useful manuals I've ever came across in MMOs. If you need clarification about something in the manual, feel free to message me in-game or ask in this thread! You've convinced me, I want to play with Goons in Pardus! I need to reword this but I can't be fucked now Awesome! We have our own private forums at http://tgc.shadyballs.com/ where you can register and one of the admins (myself, Fordham, and Xsk) will authenticate you provided you follow the simple instructions. There are sections for specific servers so you won't have to look through a list of worthless Artemis or Pegasus threads just to find Orion threads. There's also a few general sections for help, our IRC channel etc. Joining an alliance will cost 1,000 AP if you are accepted and you're eligible to join as soon as you leave the tutorial. If you want to chill out with goons, you can join Serious Business in the Artemis server since they are the main Goon alliance and are also neutral-aligned! There's a codeword for joining SB which can be found in our forums in the OP of this thread. If you think you have the balls to you could try joining FYAD but I have a somewhat strict set of requirements for a good reason. Orion and Pegasus are not really relevant since a good portion of us are focusing on kicking ass in Artemis, but you can find more details on those two servers in our forums. Here is a map of the universe, the Artemis goon hangouts are circled in red: We control the sectors that are circled on the left! The right circle is only accessible by those with premium and we don't control the entirety of those sectors, only certain portions. --
