Thanks for the advice.
Would this allow me to progress through the game and aquire new and better ships without having to spend more money?
I'm in the Elite fame of mind here
Cheers
Definetly.
Out of the two, if you can stretch to the cutty black. i would get that .
I know, £100 is still steep for any game, let alone a pre alpha but the cutty black is one of the best all rounder ships to get and can be your money maker until you get other ships that make you more money.
This is what the cutty can do:
- Delivery box missions that earn you 8k per mission
- Some cool pew pew bounty or mercenary misisons(varies from 2k to 8/9k
once you inquired enough for a "graycat roc" Buy that in-game(cant remember how much it is ) and load it inside your cutty black and now you have the ability to mine on surfaces!
A fully loaded ROC with "hedamite i believe it is" will yield you over 200k(but it takes a while to fully load one and also find different spots to mine them from)
Once you got your self a few million, you can treat yourself with whatever kind of ship you fancy.
every ship from the pledge tore(that says flyable) can be bought in-game now.
For reference i bought a vanguard warden for just shy over 2m and i love that ship!
Other ships that will open up more gameplay are:
- Misc prospector(for more mining but asteriods or planetary surfaces
- Caterpilla(For hauling large quantities of cargo)
The other ships are just more specific like the vanguard warden which is a heavy fighter(can do box missons on that too)
If you do enjoy the game and want some help, You can come join the Org i am in or find and join another that will help you out.
Playing this game solo is cool but playing with others increases this game by 10x and see that i assume you never played this and is new? Playing with experienced players will help you a lot.
Side note:
Because its alpha, Do expect all the ships and money owned to be wiped before release/beta. But that wont happen for anther 2-4 years anyway
