What's your favorite star system and why.

Mine is Gemini, it has a space level (Technatoria) and a city level (Commerce Central), the best battle music in the game (Prosperous) and has the best ship (GC-1 Fusion Storm).

I like new vega the most, why? Because it's long, like sol, I like sol too. I managed without any help from someone with boosters on the PTR to comlete vega in 9H, and I had fun. But then, if you reach antares you get boring storymissions, so i am really looking out for a new antares storyline.

You have yet to see the other systems what comes after where you are now, and other ships what comes. :D

My fave system is Gemini. It houses the first of the best stuff, such as introducing you to the awesomeness of 5th-tier ship classes (aka 8 items on the ship). It also has perhaps the best (places flame-shield) storyline and story missions. The story is much more detailed (IMO) then Vega and Antares, and utilizes a variety of story and gameplay. (So does Sol, but in Sol you gotta deal with Signors, Pyros and Assassins aplenty) It is also the first system that really promotes the use of squadrons and engineers. Vega is easily soloable in a AnIn 1450, and Antares is soloable in a fully non-rare outfitted storm. The only difficult mission (IE squad of two) is the Juggernaut and Vlad's Impaler. The only reason for complaints of difficulty is the countless people who throw an Ion Blaze blaster on their non-armoured Space Tank and think they can solo the world. But back to gemini, it has the best looking ships in the game (except the X-Engy, that thing is ugly). It also has a variety of terrain, and the mantis promote squads with death squads, but not excessively like that in Sol or Draconis.

I could rant on longer, but I don't feel like it. Anyways, Gemini is awesome.

My favourite System is the Old Vega, because every time I used to go to Vega 2 and hear it's calm music, brought back memories :). I also used to go there to talk to the GM's, who normally orbit Vega 2, they where fun to talk with :). Another reason that I go to Vega 2 is because it's music matched with it's calm, desert terrain, also a great place to go if you want to be alone. Now with that all changed, and Vega 2 ruined in my opinion, I hang out at prosperous since it's the only planet that has Vega 2's music.. I love its music soooo much, so calm :)

I've seen pretty much every ship, I'm up to Mizar which is alright but not the best, I'm interested in Sol due to the sniper and the imperials and Draconis, well, I don't use boosters so lets just say it's not going to be easy. ^^

I like Gemini the best also... but for me it's because it have the best CQ maps and also the ships are just plain better than anywhere else... in look anyways. plus most of the player interaction is done in that system so it's also the most active

I don't like the new vega. The old one had a great storyline but planets lacked quality and were rather uninteresting. HOwever, the new ones aren't much better.

Gemini was one of the most fun systems, even if some SM's was rather tedious. It got 3 story planets, and all were different and creative, and ships were good looking too, and finnaly, the story!

the old storyline was the worsed storyline ever, sorry for all who think it was good.

The new was has a better intro, has maybe 300% more missions, altought lyris is still boring.

the only good thing on the old vega was it's good old white missions.

I like Gemini and Sol the best, as they both have a lot of variety and were not rushed that much. However, if I had to pick one system, it would be Gemini, as the story is pretty good and its the first place you get owned by death squads :)

However, some of the best individual story dialogues were in the old Vega System, mostly written for the crazy lunatic Vicius the Mutilator - I always had the most fun writing for him.

Cheers,

Jonny

Gemini put pressure on squads and working together. In Vega and Antares, nearly every story mission could be soloed. As far as I know, only two SMs can't be soloed (Juggernaut and Vicius the Mutilator {Vlad's Impaler}). The behemoth is, in my opinion, easily soloed, along with every other vega SM. Gemini basically introduced teamwork with the release of Death Squads (They exist for a reason!). The storylines with escort-based missions also promote the use of ALL ship types. The storms fight off the enemies, the tanks take the damage, the shocks neutralize the enemy, and the engineers keep everyone in fighting shape. Gemini was the first great system IMO, and in all honesty, most likely the last.

hardkirby, you know how hard the behemoth battle was when I was the first person to reach it? Well, lets say that it only worked solo, because of a bug.

I have done it, it is easy. And you actually proved my point, by saying it is only possible through solo. ;)

you know how many times they changed it from the beginning to make it a little bit easier? Read the patchlogs, but i am sure of 3 times.

Are you trying to prove something? You only seem to be supporting my point. :/
