Note for Self

Traveller · Post by **Traveller** » Sat Apr 04, 2009 4:34 pm

Always remember to save BEFORE each mission.

I decide to do my first asteroid clear out mission and set the nav point WAY too close

I emerge from launch sequence about 5mm from a HUGE lump of rock.

Whump

....when did I save....

Ohhhhh yeah. I didn't.

Life (and death) is a learning experience.

Anyway - when does Adminny person get online? I'm running low on demo time after paying

I hope you will.... to be honest what tipped the balance for me was the fact that you can take your game offline whenever you wish to and not lose out.

Well that and the fact that it's a space sim (which I love), it's very good value (always a bonus), and I saw how helpful you guys are.

Which makes me realise I've bought a game because of the people playing for the first time.... ain't that odd?

Now I'm just starting out by doing some mining to get some cash to get the basic upgrades on the ship and then I'll start dropping into places to see what there is.

Of course THEN I'll have the decision: fight or trade?

Or will I?

If I'm right, the game allows you to store different ships? that way I could have one ship for each type of style I wish?

Templates are more useful than the ship storage feature, but is limited by the max frame the shipyard has.

Ship storage is used mostly to have a quick awesomeness in low-tech space but has a recurring cost.

Yes, yes and Yes, First you have to make enough credits though, and then you can buy and store as many ships as you like. But storing ships is expensive as you have to pay the station a storage fee, and you have to make a note for yourself at which station you stored which ship! And in some systems you have no choice but to fight or run as a newbie!lol:P:P:P

Fight first, and once you've destroyed every living thing in the system, you can trade...

Kill everybody, then save, self destruct and reload your save and anybody in the sector will more likely be friendly.

Has anybody amassed a large fleet and taken over a system in SP yet? I've been meaning to try that...

I tried that. but the AI can not keep up with the Mantis jumpdrive. So you hire all the ships around you, pay alot of credits and you make one jump and your broke!lol:P:P:P

Hello,

Advice from an old time computer user.

You have many slots to save too.

Slot 1 - regular save slot.

Slot 2 - daily save slot.

Slot 3 - weekly save slot.

Welcome aboard Traveller .....Careful where you save, too close to a Black Hole could be very bad
