Since I see that Space Odyssey has lots of features but still losing players, while doing advertising and everything I can to get more players. A radical change was needed, maybe improve the interface or reduce the number of servers, we will see.

My vote goes to killing the Wars, PVE, and Sea o servers. Cut it down to SO Main, and Elite. The core of what was once greatness.

While thinking what to do to improve Space Odyssey,  I have some time ago started working on my masterpiece project of a new game concept / design, called Astro Galaxy. The thing is when I created the first version of Space Odyssey I was just fresh from university and my programming skills where just starting to shape up.

I remember hours and hours of conversation about everything from college to family to programming languages... even plans for moving the operation stateside! ahh good times

However, after many years of improving Space Odyssey, I can create a new game starting from the SO concept, combined with realistic space exploration, planet / moon colonization, ship customization, space battles, etc. This is what I have been working on mostly, while fixing any Space Odyssey bugs and responding to messages.

sounds GREAT to me. Thank you for doing your best to respond to messages and bugs.

Astro-Galaxy is almost ready to receive beta testers, so I will start a new thread and post pictures with the new game that you can discuss there. Beta testers will receive some reward when the game launches, so check it and let me know what you think.

Need we apply? or are they hand picked or what?

Again, I have not abandoned Space Odyssey and still love the game and will improve it even more after I finish AG project, but Astro Galaxy is what I always dreamed to do, that is exploring and colonizing space starting from Earth...

Thank you for replying here. I cant wait to see this new project!

You can't say kill off servers that people like. A bunch of us love all of the servers, though Sea-O is just meh. His main problem was starting 3 games up. SpaceO should've been fine..

Edited in: If you somehow think this new game of his will cater to EVERY member of the SpaceO fanbase, which it seems you do, why not get rid of main and elite, too, then? No harm done if this plan of his works out.

People like every server. Its about how many players are active on it. Wars and PVE have run their course. They have had ample time to gain momentum and have failed. Main has the largest player base and Elite hasnt had ample time to get going (but trust me, I'll get it there)

If it in fact does cater to all players, and we feel its appropriate to can main and elite, then so be it.

[Comatose]

Sigh.

What he's talking about sounds like some hella graphic 3-D sim. Which means half of SO probably can't even play it.

precisely why we will still have main and elite.

[Comatose]

Personally, MAIN sucks. WARS suites a lot of people's playing styles well. I like PvE too, so does everyone who plays there but stops when DDAY never comes. Elite is meh, I like it, I just can't be bothered to play right now. I could see easily wanting to play were a bunch of vets to show up..You'd be surprised how many people like the other servers.

SpaceO and HP on the other hand lol..

YOU may think main sucks, but it has the largest player base. end. of. story.
all of the servers have their problems, but im pretty sure logic would tell you to keep the one with the largest active player base since something is obviously working there, where it isnt on other servers.

[forumemy]

Astro galaxy sounds fun if it is as good as it sounds i would take time out of my day to play it

[clouthour]

only reason main has the biggest player base is because its first on the list

[Spayed]

eh wars and pve are usless... hardly any 1 plays.. just a waste of server space.

[highlandknight]

I think its a good idea to have more input and to know what is going on and when things will get done. and i think anyone that plays space o should not have there hands in it workings. o and wes thats a good side of me there

[Grondavor]

I thought you thought the forums were useless hk
