great trivia, cant see it coming up in the pub quiz though
tis allready out, came out on Friday so were now on V3.0 & the new plots BoP ( balance of power ). only just started it so i haven't seen much of the new content as yet, you get a new reward ship for completing FF ( Final Fury ), doesn't matter how long ago you complete FF, the new ship will be waiting for you in Argon M148. the new plot revolves around the ATF & there tech. i won't spoil it but there's plenty of threads cropping up on the egosoft forums about BoP which are well worth a read.
Ive spent a long time playing the game and still havnt completed the hub or any of the other plots that require the hub to start. I just keep restarting before i get that far.
Think im going to go all the way this time and try to complete everything. Thats if i can survive as im doing a suicidal squid start
After a hour of game play im still alive (not even had a close call yet) got me a advanced skate and about 1m in other assets. Need to get my self a big ship fast or it will be game over.
finished the new plot now. you get 1 new reward ship, Griffon ( an Argon M7 ) which someone described as a Cerberus on crack
+ you also get 4 ATF fighters ( if you manage to cap them all ). and there's also one hell of a game breaking bug which Egosoft are aware off & working on. there are 2 ways to avoid the bug, when you have to flee the Tyr fleet you UFJD out of sector, then jump back into normal space when they follow you. or, you race thru the nearest gate & do an instant U turn when you go thru the gate. otherwise, when the Tyr fleet jumps into your sector in pursuit, the game hard locks & breaks.

NooooooooO!!!!!!!!1111!!!!one
my dead is dead suicidal squiddy is dead
There is was making nice proffits while searching for good missions. When i came across a nice patrol mission that would sort out my rep with the parinid.
After accepting the mission i went oh $%£* as a kaahk corvette jumps into the system, no way i could take one of them out in my M3.
Not a problem i thought lure him onto some other ships let them engage take all the hits then i can swoop in at the last second and take the prize
First sector had a bores in it which unfortunately beat me to it (sector 1 clear).
Second sector had a kaahk corvette and some KM3's luckily i spotted a boron m6 so lured the kaahk onto it (sector 2 clear)
Third Sector, i fly around a bit going where are the enemy ships, no sign at all then suddenly a KM6 spawns right in front of me (OH £$"!) only a quick 180 and running screaming like a girl saved me. Right time for some pay back, i lure the KM6 onto the trade lane where it engages several M3's.
Great now he is busy i can strike, so i swoop in for my first strafing run and manage to take out his shields before my energy runs out. Wow this is going well.
After a short wait while my laser batteries recharge i move in for the kill. I move in behind the M6 while unloading my rain of death (his hull drops %80, %50, %25 oh yes he is going down) KaaHHKbOOm the M6 explodes in a nice fireball of death (Yes ive done it!)
My victory cry quickly turned into a death scream as i looked out the window to see a plume of orange covering my ship and stare in disbelieve as the GAME OVER message appears on the scree.
Yes you guessed it one of the supporting M3's killed me with a plasma burst generator about 2 sec after i took out the KM6......
Now i have to start again

Yes it can be very complex (massive industrial complexes and 1000's of ships under your control), or if you chose very simple (just the ship you are flying). Thats the beauty of the game you can play it any way you want.
The only problem you have is the steep learning curve you need to get over at the beginning.
Thats not stuck that sounds like a nice combat scenario. use the station stick very close to it. This should keep the pirates out of range making the PBG's useless.
Not tried buying second hand ships for early game proffits i normally look for combat missions and turn to piracy.
Doesnt take long and im making about 1m for a quick easy assassination mission.

You could just buy 10 mercuries with an ore collector and special software to mine nvidium in Kingdoms End before selling them for 60,000,000 or more.
