Yes I was a Planetarion Head. If you have played the game then you know all about 3 in the morning wake up calls and the life/career/relationship ruination that this game can inflict upon the user. For such a simple game it had the addiction value of rock-cocaine.Ah happy days.
Question has anyone tried to make real Planetarion fleets and battle with them?
Here are the races with a hint at what they are about.
Terran (Ter)
Big heavy ships with lots of conventional firepower.
Cathaar (Cat)
Lighter ships that EMP their prey. Useful allies to the Terrans.
Xandrathii (Xan)
Massed raider with cloaking tech. You rarely know what is coming at you. You only know that they are coming.
Zikonian (Zik)
Pirates. They like to attack and their fleets contain the other races. Bastards.
I generally played Cat or Terran. Somehow "honourable" races.
Others loved the Xan with their cloaking or the Zik who were a bunch of mother-loving pirates.
I often wondered about wargaming this on-line browser based game. What would they look like?
When you have 100,000 Xan ships coming at you and are calling for defence and don't know how many more there are because they are cloaked and it is 6 in the morning you think to yourself what would this look like on a table.
Anyone else a recovering PA player and have any images?
