Hi. New here and have questions
Hi there. Just wondering about something. Was gonna try out the trial and looked at some of the stats pages. Clicked on Active players and only saw 31 online. Is that the total number of players in the game? Is there more then one server? If not how many people are useually online. Just curious because it seems extreemly low. I want to check it out, but if there is no one to play with or against then I wont bother. Thanks in advance.

That's a graph of how many people have been online for various time periods.
No, not many people are on at any given time. Once you get over the initial hump, though, you can make your way to the gray sectors and interact with people to your hearts content.
Try the trial. It's only 8 hours, much of which will be new for you so it can't be that horrible.

Also, this game is still in development. To my understading, the developers have not done any serious promotional work to get it out there. It's time will come. When the devs feel that it is solid enough for the masses, the masses will come.
And like Starfisher said, give the trial a go. When I did the trial, I only bumped into a couple people, but the game stood alone on its own as a single player anyway. Its not until you get a little more established that you will be feinding for the multiplayer stuff.

Yeah, I find player interaction here great, and it is a small community at the moment, but a very helpfull one too, which means most action is centered around very few places (grey space with Capture the Cargo, the race + maze sectors in Sedina and frequent npc capitol ship battles keep that area of space busy).
Maybe im biased, as I have played for a while, but although still very much in development stages (well, it is an ever evolving universe, so what you see here today wont be what you see here in six months) I think its great, and have so much fun here, I would gladly pay, even if i could not play for a few months.

I agree totally with the above. The community in this game is one of it's strong points...lots of people willing to help. Not to mention all the player interaction in channel 100.
There are quite a few different ways this game can be played...it just depends on what you find the most interesting...there is no right or wrong way. Some people like to spend their time trading, for others it's mining. For excitement there is killing the AI bots, CtC (capture the cargo), the race tracks, Player vs. Player....and the capitol ships meeting in Sedina B8 is always a rush to be involved in. And even more....queen hunting, Pirating (Yarr!)...etc.
There are player created races and dueling contests too...all fun to participate in.
Lots here....use the free 8 hours to check it out...I doubt you will be disappointed....

One question, can you use the prom if your not Serco?
Yes, but you need to boost your standing with Serco to anything above +600.
It's +700
