Taikodom is een gratis online space explorer spel ontwikkeld in Brazilie door Hoplon Infotainment.
Vanaf 2007 was de engelstalige beta beschikbaar en volgens mij is nu het spel officieel al online.
Het spel werkt met micro transacties, maar het zou hier vooral gaan om features die de gameplay niet uit balans zouden brengen. Je moet hierbij denken aan items om sneller XP te verzamelen, maar ook aan het aankopen van andere schepen.
Hier wat info gecopy-paste van de site
A ship awaits you. Assume your position
Right now, there are thousands of ships across Taikodom. They are fighters, explorers, freighters, and bombers; each pilot is a player just like you (or even completely different, you never know).
Taikodom is an MSG (Massive Social Game) where all players are connected through a single universal server. All the action, including battles, unfolds in real time, and the game continues in progress even after you have logged out.
Start by customizing your own 3D avatar and choosing a career - Hotshot, Juggernaut, Scout or Merchant. Then pick up a ship, and enjoy the endless in-game possibilities. From accomplishing the initial missions to joining huge corporations, there are several paths to explore. Unpredictable combats, and a sophisticated economic realm, guarantee fun for all gamer profiles.
There are countless star systems to venture, and many space stations that explore different niches, like mining, commerce, and even tourism. The ships and scenery specially designed for the game have a high level of details and innovation.
The background for all player action is a fictional universe created by Hoplon and developed by a science fiction team comprising creators, plotters and writers such as Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro and J. M. Beraldo. The game is set in the 23rd century. Taken by surprise when a mysterious energy field blocked Earth, humankind has then expanded to the space, where people joined in different space communities. Several terrestrial humans have escaped Earth in suspended animation. Awakened by the Consortium, a sort of centralized government, these humans are now called resurrects, who have to struggle in order to guarantee a spot at space society. And you will enter Taikodom as one of them.
It doesn't matter whether you have just arrived or have been participating of Taikodom's earlier versions , you are definitely not alone! Besides other players, space agents will guide you in your first achievements. A tutorial system offers practical instructions for commands at any time you please.
Download the Taikodom installer now. And just play it.

Find out about the unique characteristics of Taikodom
10 Star Systems, dozens of nodes and stations, more than 50 agents, more than 200 missions and near 40 different ship designs at your disposal.
•Avatar creation and character classification: During avatar customization, it is possible to define very specific characteristics, like skin color, eyes, mouth, hair, face format and different aesthetic paintings.
•Choose your career from Hotshot, Juggernaut, Scout and Merchant:
Hotshot: Fighter pilot. Hotshots are used to quick action and fast moves. They are always ready to put a target mark on enemies and fire their cannons.
Juggernaut: Bomber pilot. Heavy duty is their duty. Aboard of what you may call a "space war tank", juggernauts carry enough weapons to exterminate any threat on their way.
Scout: Explorer pilot. Scouts are the ones responsible for the expansion of the Human Frontier in space. Counting on ships with advanced sensors and quick response time, they find new spots and enemies where no one else can.
Merchant: Freighter pilot. Merchants move the Universe economy, assuring that the raw material extracted doesn't lack in industry and space markets.
•Combat: Be the best pilot in Taikodom! Fight against other players individually or in groups for space supremacy.
•Integrated mechanism of game progression: According to the career you choose, you get merit points when the activities you perform are related to it. Evolve in the game, and choose new abilities that not only allow you to do your job better, but also grant you access to advanced items that will make you a renowned professional
•Advanced Economy: An integrated market system allows a monetary fluctuation that varies according to offers and demands resulting from player commercial transactions.
•Production: Build better items from production orders (PO) of weapons, amplifiers and ships. Production orders are "recipes" that must be delivered along with its ingredients to specialized agents that will build you a new item.
•Missions: Start your new life as a freelancer, working for the Aster Patrol, consortiate corporations or even the Independents. By accomplishing missions you get in touch with different agents and travel across the space. Plus, you can save some taels to buy better equipments. There are missions involving combat, exploration and commerce. It doesn't matter what profession you choose, there are several missions to accomplish.
•Agents: In Taikodom there are some characters that achieved a spotlight position in space society. Others not so much. But all of them have their story to tell and a profession to work upon. Agents are spread all over the universe and can help you by offering you jobs, fixing or building items, or even by competing with you for resources or wealth.
•Nodes: These are places in space where humankind established their cities. Human civilization is present in several sites around the Sun and the adjacent systems. As time goes by, new regions can come up and expand its borders.
•Space Stations: Gigantic facilities built inside each node. They serve as house, industry, commerce and entertainment place for all space commuity. It is inside the stations that the markets can be found, deals can be made, pilots can look for or offer jobs, and corporations establish their advanced outposts.
•PDA: Everything a character can learn or interact in the game will be stored in the Intracranial Neural Organizer (ONI), and it can be accessed through the PDA, an advanced personal computer. Each time you talk to an agent, mine elements, or visit new markets, new data become available about what was discussed.
•Second monetary currency and Affiliation: Called hoplon, this alternative currency allows players to buy taels and affiliations. With hoplons they can also buy some exclusive items, like ships and weaponry. This new feature was implemented to balance player growth, thus providing players with less playing time to keep up with other players in the game. About affiliations, they render access to special content in Taikodom, plus some other in-game benefits.
•Cameras: The standard camera, called chase cam, follows the ship in speeding, and falls back in abrupt breaks, creating the effect of an exciting pursuit to your ship, which only adds in mobility and emotion in combat. Players can also choose for a first person camera, and appreciate the view of the orbital camera, which allows the visualization of the stunning scenarios from multi-angle positions.
•Inertial flight: It's a flight system that allows a more accurate power regulation in handlings, changing the angle in curves and resulting in more dynamic combats.
•System for customizing display information on the interface: Choose the information you want available in navigation mode and combat mode. Just select the needle icon in the superior corner of the interface window. It's very helpful during combat or mining.
•A Universe in constant expansion: Nine Star Systems, dozens of nodes and stations, more than 50 agents, more than 200 missions and near 40 different ship designs at your disposal.
The future development of Taikodom will go even further. The expansions will provide different game styles in the same universe, shared by all of the players. Learn the details.

Er wordt nog flink aan het spel gesleuteld, zo wordt er bijvoorbeeld nog gewerkt aan het maken van de mogelijkheid zelf rond te kunnen lopen op ruimtestations (Iets waar ze volgens mij bij Eve Online ook al een aantal jaar mee bezig zijn.....)
Ik ben zelf het spel net aan het downloaden, dus ik ben zeer benieuwd!
