June 19th, 2009 - The Space Traders at War!

[Robyn]

We're proud to present the Beta for Space Trader Wars (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/space-trader-wars/) here on XGen! At this time, the game is exclusively available to Stick Arena (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/StickArena/) Ballistick Lab Pass (http://www.xgenstudios.com/ballistick/account/) Holders. Just one more reason to join in on the fun!

Cargo Bridge (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/cargo-bridge) tests your engineering skills, bridge the gap to gather the goods - You can do it!

Upgrade Complete (http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/upgrade-complete) is quite simple really; nearly everything in the game can be upgraded, including Menu Buttons, Game Graphics, and loads more! You even have to buy your own mute button! Absurd!

Yikes, no wonder I'm being asked about Space Traders already. Sounds fun.

Also, first.

[shane23]

Eh, the install link just brings me to a page filled with random characters.

[Rumreaper]

I knew you guys was going to make some FPS seeing how you already have the doom flash.
does this game have real trading? or is this some quake arena.

[criticism]

Yes, the Space Trader Wars seems cool. It seems to have the same format as SA:B (servers).

It's being difficult though....

I hope Xgen fit the lag playing this.

and add some wicked mech that one needs to pay 100,000 bucks to use.

[cheeserawkz101]

Gah, it's IE only...

My mac doesn't have IE, but it does look fun. So you should start working on making this Firefox-compatible. :P

Upgrade Complete was cool, I don't own a lab pass to beta test however.

[Elite.force]

Im playing it looks fun.

Space Traders is amazing. So good. I'd love more maps and a game-mode other than FFA, which I'm sure will be coming (cannot wait). It's so competitive, it had me sweating. I'd also like to see round times and possibly map rotations, so that you don't join a game where somebody already has 100 points then you have no chance of catching them. Also, map rotation, so that you can just stay in one game for a long time and get a variety. Possibly the ability to vote for maps, would be awesome.

Such a good game.

[Rumreaper]

if this game comes with a map editor with slopes then my dream of having a xgen game to have a surf map.

[Spectral D]

Space Trader Wars refuses to work.

Also, I've played Upgrade Complete and Cargo Bridge on other sites.

I like Upgrade Complete and, albeit being very short (I beat it in like 15 minutes), was a nice original concept.

Cargo Bridge just annoys me half the time. It's ridiculous how I can construct a bridge, put as many supports as I possibly can, and yet the bridge still falls apart for some unknown reason. I don't know, it could just be me, but it annoys me. Another thing that annoys me is the fact that the workers half the time can't even get up a TWO foot slope half the time. I mean, seriously. The fat retard is pushing a wooden box up a bridge that goes up like two inches and then he stops halfway and won't go up anymore. I'll give it another go...

[LizardRob]

The physics doesn't work like that. In games like TF2, you go all slidy when you're on a steep slope, I haven't see anything like that in this game so a surf map doesn't seem plausible, since you wouldn't be able to surf.

A great game (finally got it to work)!

Unfortunatly, I am terrible at 1st Person Shooter. I'll just play so I can give people free kills. Like a gift that you need to find....

Really looking foreward to possible additions.

[Shadowcasterx4ffc]

The crosshair bug is really annoying me; I can't aim properly with half the weapons, especially with that gun that has a scope-thing on it...

[Aalap]

Aww my lab pass just ended on one my accounts.

[shane23]

I can't open it on FF, and on IE it doesn't show anything except the directions. Just a little red x where the download links should be. :(


Ok, I got the first download installed, and now I'm stuck. Not sure where I'm supposed to press edit options. No box pops up for me.

I hated this at first, too, but I actually think it's way more challenging without a crosshair, and far more realistic... You don't get a crosshair in real life, it makes aiming take more skill.

The physics doesn't work like that. In games like TF2, you go all slidy when you're on a steep slope, I haven't see anything like that in this game so a surf map doesn't seem plausible, since you wouldn't be able to surf.

Forget what I said, a surf map would be possible. There's a slope on an archway in one place, when you jump on the slope it's slidy.

[Defective]

Couldn't play the lab pass game but I did play the other games.

Cargo Bridge was pretty fun I really like the blue print design when building a bridge, it gave you the sense that you were really building something.

Upgrade complete was kind of dumb, I was bored at the start and upgrading everything isn't too much fun.

[Rumreaper]

it was more of an F-U to those that rated the authors games on the update function alone and not the gameplay as said in the ending.
you had to upgrade to the true meaning.

[coolio]

is space traders only for pc...

[LizardRob]

And already, noobs have taken over STW. At least it was fun when it was just me and Dragon.

wow...not bad....now youre talking!

[literealm]

it seems quite a bit like halo 3, i wish i had one of them, i dont even have halo 2 (anymore, my cousin destroyed it but he's 11)

[iKillBarny]

I haven't played space trader wars but it looks fun from the screen Dragon took :rolleyes:

[HHHVSPHENOM]

Gah, it's IE only...

And Opera

Im getting a lab pass soon and I just downloaded Opera Web Browser yesterday

I have IE and FF but they run so slow that itd crash before I clicked "New Game"

[BloodyValentine217]

I cant play it for some reason. It looks fun though.

[Stuntman]

I may buy a labpass just so I can get in on this action. Space Trader is the second best ever, after all.

[1.own.all]

Is STW still going to be Lap Pass only once it's not the Beta version?

[andylawa52]

Looks Fun,Ima play If I Eva Get LP.(Not Soon)
