I figured I would share a little story of what happened while playing the latest edition of Starfarer. First a little background; My brother first got me hooked on Starfarer. When i first started playing it was back when there was only missions with the ship to ship destruction derby. I took a little break from playing and kept up with the progress and general discussion/suggestions. I thought " Ill jump back into the game when there is some more context to the single player".
So with the latest I started trying to figure out the single player, just on my own. So after dying 30 time after only 3 minutes into each game -Insert Sarcasm Here-, I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to get a bigger ship. So I fought, I plundered, I pillaged, Bought and sold all the fuel I could find, and captured a second ship. Now I had Just enough to buy my prize, The Eagle line cruiser. Every bit on my money went to buying this ship.... OHHHH she was a beauty.... I had to try it out in the simulation..... hmmm why dont I have weapon groups? Maybe I don't have enough crew to man the turrets OOOOOhhhhhh...... I dont have any weapons because the ship doesn't come with weapons.... Great I just spent all my money on the huge ship now i have to find funding from whatever is on my ship, which is basically nothing. But it looks awesome flying around.... Anyways the only thing weapons i could afford were 6 short range green-beam-laser. UGH!!!!
So the Maiden voyage was utterly short lived when the Pirate Assault Fleet turned up... I turned to flee but only to be crushed by three flights of bombers that just ripped my ship to pieces before I could fully retreat.....
Mark that day a great loss and a tragic end to a premature fleet.
Is there a heaven in starfarer? with angels? and those little coconut drinks with the umbrellas?
