So I guess its about that time to start collecting some player feedback... This is a game thats been in the works for a few months now and well, heres Black Market ! Its a sci-fi space trading game made in flash and as the title says, we have just reached beta! The first campaign in the game is called Patchwork, and currently act 1 of 3 has been uploaded, we are busy at work bug testing act 2 and 3 for release in a few days. We will be updating this game weekly with new premium and free content, campaigns, ships, weapons, and new locations and alike to expand the game, bug fixes are usually updated daily.... So have a play, tell us what you think! If you find a bug do shoot me a pm or post it on the dev forums on the site, would be most helpful. |

Very, very nice prototype
I've been a big fan of Freelancer and the X series and I always wanted to make my own space exploration RPG. The trading system seems complete, the combat is ok, the artwork is nice.
Only advice I could give you: the future's currency shouldn't be dollars, the scroll wheel should work since trading and thefore scrolling is an important part of the game, the gates should be hackable (maybe like in PuzzleQuest Galactrix, through a minigame).
No bugs showed up while I was playing.

Not sure about the hackable gates idea, but the scroll wheel sounds doable, ill add it to the list. Cheers for that  |

It was pretty fun for a while, but i got to a point where a mission required i go to a ship between two planets and i couldn't get to it. Clicking on it did nothing.

What planets were they? Did you put any levels into navigation? Because im guessing (hoping) thats what it is, not some sort of wierd bug.
EDIT: Wouldn't be the mission were the trader swaps the goods with you would it?

You should be able to progress by just traveling the path from the connecting planet, ship based pathfinding is now on the list todo  |

Ffffuck youuuu I've been playing this game all afternoon/night. I just finished act 1 and now I wanna know what happens next! I have important things I should be doing, man! This is an awesome game.  I noticed a few typos throughout. I should have written them down to tell you but I was too busy playing the game. I may play through again with a more critical eye, taking note of these occurrences. How do you increase your standing with a faction? It's easy as hell to get it to go down, but I have no idea how to make it go back up. It seems like after you give Tricorp the stolen shit and they give you their protection that your relations with them should improve, but it didn't! At least not for me. I think more non-hostile interaction between ships when on the space-lanes would be rad. Such as trading or solicitations for jobs, or turning down such offers and attacking them (without having to change your alliance or anything). Maybe some ability to stop your movement mid-lane and wait, as the pirates sometimes do? when there's a bad dude in front of me and a bad dude behind me it's annoying/stressful having to keep clicking each planet to keep from running into either (especially when I'm low on health and in a weak ship virtually unarmed after dying, trying to get enough cash to re-outfit myself). Anyway, this is a fucking awesome game dude. Looking forward to more. |

Koth are only in act 2 from memory, I send login details to you so you can play it Ffffuck youuuu I've been playing this game all afternoon/night.

Anyway, this is a fucking awesome game dude. Looking forward to more. Good ideas man, where to begin, im going to add the faction gains to the list when you do a quest for them, excellent idea. Non-hostile encounters is a really good idea too, though next is definately focusing on combat and making it less of a button mash, ill add it to the list though, thanks for playing  |

So 5 years of good luck for me! oh thanks gnome |
