Overview

Galaxy Online: Top Three Plug-ins
Posted By Deborah Willis on Sep 4, 2009

Summary :
Galaxy Online is not your average easy strategic game.

Galaxy Online is not your average easy strategic game. One of its most outstanding features is how it captures the unpredictability of war in each and every battle. Every minute detail of the pre-war preparation, such as ship design, resources allocation, ships formation and the start time of fleets may be the one that determines the final outcome of the war. Sadly many players chose to quit Galaxy Online not long after they began their gaming experience because they thought the game was too boring. But the real cause may have been their lack of familiarity with the game and its controls. However on the flip side of the coin we have those who are still playing Galaxy Online and love it. One of the things they love best is the mental challenge of coming up with the best strategies and tactics and learning from their previous mistakes make themselves more and more powerful in the game. As for the game itself, we have made many improvements since its debut. We have adopted many suggestions from our players on how to make even better. One change we are particularly proud of is the introduction of plug-in. The plug-in not only helps beginners to become more familiar with Galaxy Online faster but will also help most players to learn the game lore faster too.

At present, plug-ins for watching combats, counting down and for using the black market are widely used in the game. In addition, plug-ins that allows the user to change font color or play mini games in the game are also popular with players. More and more plug-ins are being introduced to Galaxy Online. The Galaxy Online team has just introduced the top 3 plug-ins used in Galaxy Online. And they are always ready for new and innovative suggestions and ideas.

The 3rd Place: The Black Market Plug-in
Use: 4
Popularity: 3
Composite Valuation: 7
Comment:
From time to time all players may suffer an imbalance in their resource yields. At times like these the Black Market comes in very handy! Players can use it to transform their resources at anytime according to the exchange rates: 3 Alum=2 Gas= 1 Population. It is true that the Black Market does have an expensive service charge, but it also comes with many benefits.

The 2nd Place: Time Calculator
Use: 4
Popularity: 4
Composite Valuation: 8
Comment:
The time calculator is very useful for counting down the time before a large-scale war. Knowing the accurate arrival time of fleets will not only affect individual gain and loss but can also affect the final result of a battle? If the player’s fleet enters the battlefield too early, then they stand a chance of being attacked by multiple hostile fleets at the same time and most of their warships will probably be shot down. On the other hand, should their fleet enter the battlefield too late then they may not even get to attack a hostile fleet before the battle ends. So it is better to get an accurate time to enter the battlefield. Therefore, a time calculator should be used before a war so that the allied fleets can maximize their cooperation with one another.

The 1st Place: Combat Demo Watching Plug-in
Use: 4.5
Popularity: 5
Composite Valuation: 9.5
Comment:
In Galaxy Online, every combat is recorded automatically not matter whether it occurs when the player is online or offline. So players can review every combat they’ve ever taken part in Galaxy Online. However, in most of the other online games, previous combats cannot be reviewed. By watching the combat videos, players can learn a lot about their fighting skills and how to improve on them. For example, the enemy’s warship information and the enemy’s habits when it comes to arranging their ships can be learnt from the videos; thus allowing the player to learn each enemy’s strengths and weaknesses sooner. What’s more, every combat video in Galaxy Online will be saved onto the player’s hardware disk. So players are free to share their combat videos with one another. By watching the combat videos and listening to veterans’ analysis, beginners can learn essential fighting skills faster. In addition, the combat videos can also serve as proof of some events. As a result, the plug-in that allows players to watch combat videos has become the most popular addition to Galaxy Online.
