I too having searching for a MMO and/or Game that is Sci-Fi, based in space, but not as a spaceship. I desire Avatar based interactions with the game. Your list is a start OP, but I want more than you do and I will explain after quaoting your list....
Originally posted by Electro057 Want Sci-fi MMO, Don't want to be a space-ship, Aliens would be nice, Recent or decent graphics, WASD, Mouse Movement, dislike click and move, 3d graphics, Sand-box style preferably, Pay 2 Play, F2P is alright but in my experience usually bad Like Anarchy Online but prettier would be a good guide-line
Controls I am not as concerned with because what I seek is a virtual reality, a simulation, and/or a game where my avatar/character can walk inside the ship through corriders and from compartment to compartment. I want my avatar to be able to go to the bridge and when I either click on a control console or hit a hot key I want to see my avatar actually use that control (not the auto movement with no purpose like EnB). I want to be able to control all ship's functions as an avatar, and then as an option to chose a camera view like what EVE uses from out side the ship. I do not want to be stuck in a pod, so EVE is a no-go.
I want my character to be able to explore a huge open sandbox style space environment utilizing his ship, then to enter orbit of a planet and take a smaller ship to the surface or "beam down" and walk on the planet's surface, doing what characters do... interacting with the game world. To me the ultimate space based Sci-Fi MMO will have characters as avatars, not ships, they will use ships to move about the virtual universe to go places... not just to fly around. They will be able to land on and explore alien worlds and interact with the inhabitants (use you imagination here... everything a ground based saci-fi game does now). I want fre flight of my ship in 3 dimensions, none of this Pathing" to get from jump gate to jump gate garbage. Space is suppossed to be big, really big... and empty of stuff that is usually in space games.
Yes it sounds like SWG for the most part, but I will never again do business with SOE, nor with Cryptic as in the case of future content planned with STO, so I am looking elsewhere. Infinity: Quest for Earth if it ever gets done will have some of the features I desire, but once again it will be a ship-avatar game not a character based one. Even though I believe Infinity QFE will be awesome it is not what I seek so I am not following it anymore.
And then there's Staregate... I got hyped over this game. Then I found out the investors warped the MMO with their plans to intergrate some social network garbage into it and that CME amounted to a pyramid scheme. I will not be looking at Stargate Worlds since I was born in Ada Michigan.. google that and you will understand why the scandal at CME got me so upset. Dammit they had it going in the right direction too, even ships eventually.. arggg.
I know... what I am searching for doesn't exist I fear, so please I hope someone here can prove me wrong and point me in the direction I need to look to. The MMO I have dsescribed is the only possible MMO I would even be interested in now and to me would be what I have searching for years(I still play LotRO but won't do any new or other fantasy MMOs again).
At this point if anyone can suggest a MMO, or a game of any kind (as long as it's for a computer not a console gaming system, I am all ears... and I will be watching and checking out some of the MMOs mentioned in this thread.
Thanks.

Well if you dont mind so-so graphic i got EXACTLY what you are looking for wich you start out as a civilian or a fleet crew as Ensign and work your way up, Myself i prefer civilian as once you have your ship you basicly do what you want pirate, establish your colony, start out in the economy mine do whatever you want.
This is the game you will LOVE, just a warning tho, i suggest you to make a forum account and be patient, the learning curve can be a bit step, but i suggest you to start as fleetie the time you get the hang of things, there will be player trainning ship where you will have other player help you out, and after a while you can always make a new character up to 5 if i remember. It is heavily roleplay with new stuff being added every week/2week.
Have fun try it out, and im sure you will LOVE how deep the game can be. The universe in this game is as big as over 1000 solar system with different planet, even after 3-4 year only 4% of the solar system has been explored and it included content, you never know what you will find in the uncharted system. Have fun!
Hi, I didn't want to start a new topic, because this one already existed. I think I might have found something.
It's called Berkanix Online. It's probaly the best mmo I have ever seen. I don't know if there is going to be an english version, but check it out anyway.
