I bought it for half price or something. It's not terrible just not really a very good X game.

They still adjusting the turd/polish ratios? I'll probably get it for the laffs, but until they released rebirth, much of their "expansions" were made by modders; as rebirth is crap, very few, if any, people are modding XR nowadays. thats probably why updates and expansions are sparse. I got elite-dangerous but have been clunking around in fallout 4 too much to actually play it.

Just downloaded this game after having it in my library with 0hrs spent playing. Should I just uninstall it, or can I get it going and have 'fun?'

Also people will probably try to give you a laundry list of mods to install before you start, but I recommend getting a feel for the base game first.

I played both albion prelude and terran conflict The easiest way to get started is to make other pilot eject from their super freighters (save and reload if they dont eject) Usually argon ships are the best to take because its easy to get reputation just by shooting stuff in the terran conflict sectors Make friends with paranids and use the freighters with only mark 2 trading computer and do sector trading where they need energy cells, Id recommend a list of sectors where energy cell trading is the best but I don't remember off hand Eventually you can outfit them with mark 3 trading and jump drives and they do universe trading which is free money, if the pilot level is high level they buy drones and jump to safety when being attacked Also download the pdf map if you want to see all the gates and not have to explore every sector Melted_Igloo fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Dec 25, 2015 |

You can buy jump drives for anything that can carry M containers (which is most ships except M4 and M5) Once the map is explored you order your ships to jump to whatever sector, its very easy to travel once the map is explored Just buy explorer software for a 500 speed m5 and map out everything just by ordering it around

Oh ok. Wow this poo poo is boring. I'm in what I can only assume is the tutorial mission. It's standard escort, but each time I zone into a new sector I'm 28km from the Terran Scabbard I'm supposed to escort, and then enemies spawn near them, and are destroyed by my wingmen before I'm within firing range. Then it's just 10 real world minutes of just tooting along at 121m/s. What is this?

popewiles posted:Yes but AP won't run without TC. Whoa, hold on a bit, you might confuse someone who has them on Steam. On Steam, they're effectively standalone because the Steam distribution of AP contains all the TC files it requires. So you don't need to install both, in fact you would be duplicating a lot of files.

Should I play simply with a keyboard and mouse? The XBOX controller seems nice, but it's just not as intuitive.

After some exhaustive research and many hours spent watching Mad Space Money with Space Kramer, I've made 8.9m credits in ~1:10. Where is a good place to buy combat ships, and what should I do with my combat ship?

Where is a good place to buy combat ships, and what should I do with my combat ship? Don't know about TC, but in AP there is a zone called Legend's Home which contains the OTAS shipyard. OTAS ships are pretty good across the board. Split ships are a lot of fun as player ships because they are fast with great offensive capability, but sub par defenses. You can take on combat missions from stations or declare your own personal war on a faction by attacking their assets. It's a lot of fun to try and capture capital ships by boarding them. I'd recommend getting yourself a corvette class ship (m6? Its been a while) as those have a pretty good balance between power and speed for a personal ship. The bigger capital ships tend to be too slow to be enjoyable just flying around in. Also in order to properly arm them you're probably going to have to get involved in building factories and setting up supply lines.

Actually I need to learn how to find and buy weapons for my default ship. It has no weapons, and I can't find any stations that have any guns. I'm in Siezewell in the Taladi system.

This game is 99.99% pressing the "J" key so kb+m is the way to go really. (seriously it depends on your playstyle, but you're definitely gonna see some heavy duty menu browsing action, so keep the keyboard at hand, you'll need it)

Generally you get guns at the equipment dock, which is the big long stick insect looking space station. I think Seizewell actually has a teladi shipyard in it too which is a big long tube station, generally EQDs (equipment docks) are in the same system as the shipyard and they tend to be in capital systems. EQDs buy up guns (and other equipment) from nearby production factories so their supply can be a bit limited and not always available, but they tend to stock more things than any one factory.You can also look around for arms fabs which make guns but it's pretty hard to find the one you want.

Outside of early game you really can't use the controller for more than like 10% of the game. There's just so much random crap you need to click or too many buttons to hit. Also targetting is horrible on controller/hotas for some reason, there never seemed to be a command to target the thing under the reticle like there is for mouse. And the combat itself is honestly too shallow to really make joysticking immersive or fun, imo.
