Boosted Start - Save-Game file 0.7.1a
« on: December 06, 2015, 04:53:47 PM »
If anyone's having issues starting a game and getting over the 'hump' i wanted to share a save game file with you. You'll have a Wolf with 2x SRMs, 1x Burst PD laser and 3x IR Pulse Laser, a level 5 Ordenance/Tech character and @45k credits to start toying with. This is on Normal Difficulty.

May be a bit overkill, but if you're new or old and just don't want to grind 500 credits at a time or can't get a handle on the early game, give this a shot before quitting or waiting until the next version.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4037018/save_SarahIronwood_6736364387157924786.zip

Options from here:
- Buy marines, get a second wolf or a pack of hounds, go ship shopping
- Buy high tech frigates or a fully outfitted destroyer
- Geminis or a set of Condors for trading along with the cash to back up a modest start

Speaking about difficulty, isn't "easy" a bit too easy? Prior to the revamp of starting bonuses I tried to start as a trader only to find myself unable to do anything. Now I started a game on easy, picked the trader ship again, and it seems way too easy. 50% multipliers may be a bit overkill. Not to mention the Wolf frigate with hull mods you shouldn't even be able to have at this stage.

It's much easier to just edit the save file, replace the 2000 starting credits with like 100k and roleplay that you are some sort of rich lord or something...

The point was to provide a point in the game where by playing normally you'd always get to the same results on a new game. Start game with cash+wolf, farm initial Corvus bounties until end. Done. You now can 'start' the game and roll back to this save every time you want a new start without the 2-3 hour initial farming period.
