Big wig start option
« on: January 05, 2023, 10:50:41 PM »

As someone who's been playing this game for 10 years I know the early/mid game experience like the back of my hand at this point and reached the stage where the early grind discourages me from starting a new playthrough.

Any chance for a big wig starting option? I'm thinking a 7-9 ship fleet with a few cruisers, officers, levels and 100/200k credits under your belt.

I know about it, but don't want to use it because the gameplay changes it brings.

Yeah this would be a fun addition, sometimes it's fun to build up from nothing, sometimes a medium start like the current faster start. But sometimes I just want to get into the action, starting out with only an Apogee or destroyers in that case is still too slow.

So some kind of start with a decent heavy/medium cruiser and a light or two, some escorts and a supply train. for when you just want to get into the action, try out some new things or whatever.

I just want to start with gates enabled. Thankfully there's a mod.

My feelings exactly! There are times when I just want to see how a particular Ships/Fleet build would fare in campaign without having to grind my way up from nothing every time (especially if said builds don't work out)

Not to mention that, from the looks of it, most of the upcoming content will be end game so again you have to start over to get to the new stuff. It gets tedious when you've done it dozens of times already.
