I'm looking various ways people get started in the place-holder campaign. Once you have a few ships I can see it being possible to take on small pirate gangs but at the very beginning with only a starting frigate and the maximum two wings of fighters you can buy I can't seem to take on anything greater than a pirate scout ship and even then it usually runs rings around my frigate (while going backwards and shooting me), proceeds to destroy all my fighters and then either escapes or kills my frigate as well.
So yeah how do you guys do it? Or does everyone cheat/use exploits?
Also to the devs: amazing game, I had heard about it a whille ago but decided to hold off from buying it. Decided to go ahead when I heard a campaign thing was set up. So many regretts...at having not bought it the very second I first heard of it. Reminds me a lot of SPAZ but I find this game so much better. I have to disagree with Totalbiscuit I find the weapons in SPAZ to be very anemic. Not so at all in this game, very good job.
