and I've never really seen anyone say "I've won the game". Saves just before you won if you have, or it didn't happen.

Well I've gotten enough money to buy an earthlike planet.  In the older version you just needed to find materials on bare planets until you save enough to buy stocks.  Then you buy stocks and fly around carrying cargo so the stock has time to change value.  Stocks were super duper lucrative so I probably could have bought earth with the amount I was earning.

The new version doesn't have the stock market working so you need to prospect longer.  But once you get personal forcefields or reactive armor for every member of your combat team nothing can kill you except for bobby traps and special planets.  So you watch out for those and prospect like crazy.  I've only gotten to around 500k before a glitch destroyed my game but it seems perfectly viable and I never lost a redshirt (<3 my redshirts.)

Finding the bastard alien menace however is a whole other matter...

[generalpie]

Can I have a savegame/error.log for this?

Sorry, ive long since deleted the save.

[Neonivek]

Yeah, it would have been nice if they made it easier to find the alien menace.... rather that needing to check every planet in the galaxy.

The sensors are annoying. Due to the difference in both planet scans and space scans. Especially space scans. With the joys of the squaring of area, 4x4 is so much better than 3x3. Especially as by the time you start to ramp up to level 3's across the board, you're pretty much ready for level 4's, cash-wise and gameplay-wise. Although, it does make tracking down those big ship hulls (and the alien one) all the more lucrative, and gives you a slightly prompted path to the big upgrades or what you should be doing.

Having artifacts be found a little later isn't a huge problem. You'll still get them if you're willing to explore a heap of planets (and have the kit to do so), but they won't be the super-free-boosts that they once were. You used to start getting the best weapons, armour and items while you were still trying to equip your away-team, so now they're ultimate upgrades rather than "you don't need to buy as much equipment because you found the best stuff for free early on in the game" upgrades.

Hi again,
Bob from Approaching Infinity.
You guys mentioned my game here long before I did. I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but I've got a lot of fans who also love prospector. Hundreds of people have already pledged to Approaching Infinity. It's a great game. Please take a look, and grab some of the awesome rewards while you still can! Name a planet, an officer, a ship, a quest item or a monster. Design a unique item, a letter in an alien alphabet, a playable ship class, or an entire alien race!

It's the Final 48 Hours!

And if you're still upset, please refer to my earlier post. I talked to Matthias before I started this. I also talked about prospector on my comments page, and in my interview!

how do you raise morale? i have tried raising wages, paying musicians in space stations. randomly finding planets without mobs.

moirale drops when i fight even though its a good way to train. what is the best way to manage this?

[niltrias]

Wow, it seems I missed a lot of development.  Ima check this out again next weekend

i shit you not i just bruteforce my way through everything

used to have ~500 firearms, but everyone died and it's greens again ror

[mosshadow]

I just downloaded this game. It needs alot more documentation in my opinion because I would says its even harder than DF Adventure mode though much less boring. I have died so much. Also the pirate cruiser option doesnt seem to 'work' in that I can never find a ship to pirate before running out of fuel or hull.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Holy shit, I forgot this game existed. This game is FUTTBUCKING AMAZEBALLS. So gud. SO. GUUUUD.

[mosshadow]

Tried again last night. Died 5 times .... in 30 minutes 

[mainiac]

Some planets are very dangerous at first, others are quite safe.  Danger doesn't correspond to mineral abundance very much so look for worlds without dangerous terrain and big scary animals when you are starting out.

If you just last long enough, you'll start finding tons of alien artifacts and weapons that will make you well nigh destructible.  Then you just need to avoid getting killed by space stuff or special planets.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

I've always found mountainous outer-rim planets to be the best for early exploring. The closest distances tend to have big nasties on them, while the no-atmosphere hunks of rock are perfectly suited for passively sweeping up all the data/minerals you can without worry.

Though I noticed in the new version natural creatures very rarely attack my crew, is that true for anyone else?

[ollobrains]

game really needs more regular updates

[sambojin]

Well, you could help them. It's semi-open-source and written in BASIC, so there's no real excuse for complaining about updates. Just have a chat with the current code repository holders and start beavering away.
