Battlestar Gallactica Online - Open Beta

[MasterFlash]

Open beta started yesterday, and so far I really like it.

It took a while to understand whats going on and how to properly handle my viper etc but now after a few hours in im pretty gripped. Its got a simlar payment model as Battlefield Heroes so you can play it for free but can spend your dosh on ingame credits if you fancy it.

Its also got some pretty good pvp going on. Last night I was in a wing of 10+ vipers attacking some line ships. It was awesome If your a fan of the new series I think you will enjoy this, it has all the music playing in the backgound which changes when things start to get tasty.

Im MasterFlash in game playing as human on the Tauron server.

The Trailer on their website looks pretty poor.

Hmm, interesting... I like the series, but had expected this would be a bit pants.

But you're not the first person I've seen who has said it's good. Aye, the gfx don't look too hot, the other post I saw said: "The graphics are not able to stand toe to toe with current gen standards but they really look great for a browser game. The ship models and scale make up for the somewhat lackluster explosions."

Might have to give this a whirl, then, guess there's nothing much to lose

I can see it being another flop like Star Trek Online, expect lifetime subscriptions from day 1.

Apart from the fact its free.

Ive been playing for few days now and am still enjoying it. You have nothing to lose to give it a try, you don't even have to download anything.

So its going to be another F2P Item shop then?

Pretty much. You can purchase in-game currency + experience modifiers etc
