| mysteryman said: Feels a little pretentious. I get them not wanting to dictate the rules of the game, and letting everyone explore on their own. But I'd like to know more details on what is possible, what mechanics there are. Trading was mentioned, it's the first time I've heard about it and these are the details I'd like. Destructible environments are a nice feature, but what is the purpose? How does destroying structures affect the game? I agree hat there shouldn't be achievements for a game like this, it would go directly against the creator's vision by giving a shopping list of things that need to be done for the trophy-whore's platinum. |
When you destroy parts of the world you obtain resources. Those resources are then used to upgrade your ship and equipment. Once you upgrade your ship you can fly further out into the universe or closer to the centre of the universe. When you upgrade your equipment you can visit more planets with hostile environments such as gas or acidic waters. Taking too many resources leads to the sentinals (on some planets) attacking you to protect that planet. As you get closer to the centre of the universe the planets get more hostile and the creatures get more strange, but you don't have to do that, you can simply explore deep under the earth in caverns and tunnels, or swim to the bottom of vast oceans. You will need to do this at times to find the rarer resources. You can trade your resources at space stations or you can attack the space stations to take what you want but that puts up your wanted level. At first your wanted level will be low so you'll just get attacked by the occasional police force but if you persist you could end up batting a whole fleet of smaller ships surrounding a bigger police station. You can attack freight ships to take resources too or protect it when it gets attacked. This could lead to becoming part of a faction and gaining help from them in the future. There's more but that will do.
