Okay, this is my first time in the Forum, but not the game. I will try to keep this less than a 500 page Novel, but those that know me from Conquest 2, and the new Uni 4, know that that, is an impossibility. First, I must mention Conquest 2. It may or may not have been the first time I've played Starfleet. This is where I've cut the novel down by at least 200-300 pages. I'm still playing it, and I'm loving it. Now I begin the story. When I signed up, I had a nice little planet in [1:135:0] Solar System. I had a neighbor who also was just starting and we became friends. Within 3 days our System was inhabited, but not overcrowded. An alliance moved in with two players, and my friend and I became 3 and 4. Ah life was good! The very next day, my computer committed suicide. I have no clue what, how, or why. I went shopping. In seven (7) days I was up and back online with my new baby. Using it now. I found out that I'd been kicked from the alliance and had been farmed by almost all of my former alliance members. No problem. It was my fault, sort of. Again, I will edit many (about 150) pages and skip to this. New Uni! Everyone, that knew me from Conquest 2, is messaging, e-mailing, and posting in alliance Forum to join. Ok, I joined. I hadn't even built or flown or looked at anything and I get a message. "Join my Alliance!" I go back to Conquest 2 and tell my alliance. One of my alliance buddy's joins and starts an alliance with the same name as in Conquest 2. Again, I'll cut a few chapters out and say, I joined the one that first recruited me. Most of my former buddies also joined with me. None of this is a problem, but you can see where it would make a good novel. This uni in the beginning uses probes for quests that I couldn't find written anywhere. No problem, my alliance friends tell me to use a probe and attack these coordinates. I do, and I died, I think. The report says, " Battle Report for Abandoned Warship [1:64:6e] about 2 hours ago

Okay, so I'm thinking, what? let me try that again. I know, stupid move. Well guess what? No probes. Okay I'll build another. Oh no, no, no, it's not that easy so early in the game. As a matter of fact, I'm now in my third day, with help from my friends, and still not close to building a probe. Now if you only read this last bit of my story then you won't realize that I'm not a quitter. But how many noobs might come in and make the same mistake as me and walk away long before now. Now you might want to look at this, because I do have 2 Artemis Fighters, and 2 Atlas Cargo ships and I've run the missions, and attacks that take about 4 hrs to get less than I would've gotten from a single probe. <--- That's the part that get's me ... how should I put this? Angry? Oh and for all the "Doubting Thomas's" out there, I have copies of everything I've stated and tons more that I edited out to make this a "pocket novel". Spank you berries much? Sorry, Thank you very much!
