I don't know in many situations you actually have methods of surviving it.

It sort of kills you in two ways
1) Red Herring
and
2) Ignoring every device and tool you may have had at that point.

Gobbled up by a space monster. Noooooooooooo. My poor explorer.

71021 points
That doesn't seem too bad considering how many "interesting" planets I avoided for 2300 turns.

Hey guys are investments still broken? In that are they still worth less then keeping your money?

Investment in what? I've never used the feature, if anything.


Unless you're talking about stocks. Then yes, they are worth it very much indeed.

You can always still load the game. It keeps the save from the last time you entered a space station.

No I mean like Asteroids, shop chains, and your own home planet.

I'm pretty sure that's for retirement. Bonus points when you retire and such. Though I've never retired myself, too greedy to do so....

...I have never heard of investing in those things. Ever.

And I don't believe you have any home planet.



Unless you're talking about retirement assets and not 'investments'.

Fine then yes... Assets

Don't buy them. Unless they multiply the value of your cash (which would explain a lot) my experience with them is that it is worth more just to hold onto the cash it would cost to buy them.

Sorry for the confusion. Though a lot of those assets are investments that just don't pay off for some reason.

They're for when/if you retire your captain. He retires onto that mansion he bought back in his adventuring days, they don't have an effect on gameplay.

Despite of useful remarks by the "science-is-wrong" guy, you should fix the "below absolute zero" bug; otherwise we should be able to have minus ten fuel and negative amount of crewmembers for consistency . Antimatter go!

I had an idea. What if when you visited a station or colony, every one of your crew members (and maybe you) had a very small chance to fall in love with a local (opposite sex) and either retire with them, or ask you to take them aboard. They might be useful for something, but mainly they take up a bunk and improve that crew-member's morale.If it's YOU that falls in love, you take them aboard until you retire for a big score boost.

I am aware that is what they are for. They are worth less, in terms of points, then just retiring with the cash, instead of buying them, would be.

At least in my experience.

Though the endings of Prospector have always been... very sad. (as in depressing)

I'm fine with the loss. Giant hungry space monster is legit.

I don't think a game as non-mainstream as this has to worry about taking flack for having non-heteronormative relationships, if anything like that was added.  Besides, what if one of your crewmembers is a hermaphroditic plant-person or something?
