I discovered that one of the shoulder pads you can have in COH actually consists of a little tiger or panda sitting on your shoulder. I think this alone warrants a new character. And before you start bitching, it'll still only be my 4th!

Not many games offer a 21 day trial. Also, what ships are those? I don't recognise them.

Gallente stealth bummer, the nemesis. T2 version of the tristan.

Arse side view of Tristans, the Gallente lvl3 frigate I think.
Or at least one of the models based on it (Steath Bombers or NPC)

FreeSpace 2 Open Source Project.
Install FS2, Install the High Res pack (was supplied with FS2, if not, it's on the internets).
Instal FS2 OSP extra bits.
Install/Remove as many 3rd party texture/model/particle/gfx enhancements packs* as you please.
*These may have be be disabled on certain levels, like the one in the nebulas, as they dropped my game from a nice 80ish fps in space, to 20fps in the nebula on my old X800GTO.

Is it? I never saw tham that close. I only ever saw Minmatar ships, which are ugly in any engine.

Just as I was reading this my Caldari Battleship V finished on Fear Not. Spooky or what.
I don't intend on going back just yet.
As an aside which is sure to get an EVE argument going:
I've played COH now and all that seems to be left is risk-free missioning to level. There seems to be little else other than a good costume designer to make me want to log in again. About the same place I got in Guild Wars. Eve at least kept me entertained for over a year.
Playing with (more) 5punkers is always a laugh, i'll grant you.

I feel the same way about CoH, I'm not going to be spending any money on it. I need something more in an MMO than just repeatedly hitting things.

That's CoH's downfall - the missions are pretty much all the same. They are in Eve too, but Eve has PvP as its strong point. I play CoH because it's a bit of a playground and all the other kids are stupid - the missions are just a vessel for our silliness. I don't play Eve because it takes too much of a time investment for it to satisfy me. Horses for courses really. Plus, I'm not really into PvP - I get that kick playing COD.

Fix'd.
EVE Online Trial Available On Steam [Eve Online]
CCP's MMO EVE Online has had it's FSP. Fair share of problems. Sorry. From breaking PCs to breaking player's hearts, 2007 was one long line of bad press for the space-based multiplayer romp. So they need new players! A clean slate! Which is why they're offering a free 21-day trial for the game on Valve's Steam platform, as well as offering a discounted subscription rate to anyone who signs up for the game through this deal. This makes it a bargain for anyone looking for three free weeks of online sci-fi gaming, while also making it the first ever MMO to be made available over Steam.
