@Parallel_Raven Yeah that's normal. By the end game, the Newspaper stands will be the most expensive thing to buy more of, and will be the last business you get all the achievements for.
@Zerual: The list of jobs reset every time the game is restarted/reloaded. To do a job, you have to do all that in one sitting, or else the job won't be there the next time your game loads.
@Vorlaplex I notice that Missiles are really slow at killing their targets, because of their low rate of fire and relatively low damage. Projectile weapons seems to be able to kill most larger targets much faster than missiles (at a lower cost too, due to cheaper ammo). That being said, both seem to be much better than Lasers, which does not get the benefit of the extended range ammo that both Launchers and Projectiles have.
I just noticed something: There are 2 Jobs available in my current "galaxy" that requires me bringing a total of 3.4k Plasite to a place. When I began mining (I had not mined anything at all in this "galaxy" before this point), I realized that my "galaxy" has BARELY 3.4k Plasite in TOTAL, in all the systems. If i had began mining it any earlier, it would have been impossible to complete the jobs. It might be necessary to make sure that the jobs are complete-able before they are generated in the future.
I just noticed a bug: If you have drones deployed, dock, then sell things in your cargo hold, in certain cases, all your drones will be gone when you undock, even though you didn't sell them (since they are still deployed, and not in your cargo)
@MikeFox20 Right, I understand that Prototype 3 does the most "damage" per shot, but when normalized as "damage per second", Prototype 1 actually does a tiny bit more dps than Prototype 3... but yeah, i guess not that it really matters anyways, heh.
In Build 32, the 3 new mining lasers seems to be... maybe mistaken?
The PROTOTYPE 1 miner mines 27 ever 0.8 seconds, which is 33.75 per second overall.
The PROTOTYPE 2 miner mines 30 over 0.9 seconds, which is 33.33 per second overall
The PROTOTYPE 3 miner mines 33 over 1 second... which is 33 per second overall
All 3 have very similar energy usages, differing by about 0.01 per second.
The best laser is obviously the PROTOTYPE 1, but it's actually the cheapest of the 3...
This game is really quite fun. It reminds me of a single-player version of EVE Online, or maybe the X-series games. My only issue with the game is that the game looks reeeeeeally small on a higher resolution monitor (i'm playing on a 2560x1440 screen) and there doesn't seem to be a way to scale the game up to a more visible size.
Either way though, great game!
The reason the game ends "randomly" is that you only have 60 seconds IN TOTAL to kill, for ALL levels... so if you used up 6 seconds in the first level, starting from 2nd level, you'll only have 54 seconds left... etc.
pretty good game. However, as to the theme of the game, i only have two things to say:
1. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
and 2. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.
If there ever were to be a sequel, i hope the final adversary is Anaksha herself.
the DL release will allow you to select what res to play on :)
