You have to make as much money as possible, from buying and selling items for a profit. Several marketplaces are available for this. You are not alone, and you will face negative characters. Escape by fight, bribe … or even running away.Drop TeamDropTeam has perhaps been off the radar for many fans of online multiplayer RTS games, so let me be the first to sound off about this title. Similar in story to Mass Effect, DropTeam has players in the middle of an interplanetary war on multiple fronts. Taking command on the field of battle, it’s up to the player to command their unit and achieve the mission’s objectives through the use of troops and combat vehicles.DropTeam’s core is flat-out battle, with a ton of options for online server play. There’s also a campaign mode if you don’t want to go online. The game looks great graphically, but does require a lot of graphical power that older machines might not be able to handle. It plays pretty well with little lag, and the game’s sounds aren’t too bad at all. There are also versions for the PC, Mac and Linux all in the installer you get with purchasing the game, which is a very nice surprise. Fans of RTS games, especially those looking for a fun game while waiting for Mass Effect, would be wise to pick this title up.
