The most unfair game ever

[evilbob]

I have just endured the most unfair game of transcendence ever

Started out well- mined enough ore and found a tinker by the second system to get orthosteel and 3 segs of durasteel. But that's where the fun stopsas for shields, I got a class II, then upgraded to...

well, I found no better shelds. Except an invincible in the BM station just after rigel, which I looted every system before to buy. I then hopped forward to st k's, but remembered I couldn't get it installed. cue a trip to the system after st. k's to get a military ID (bear in mind with a class II), under attack by Viking-IIs and corsiar-IIs, only kept alive by the single plate of orthosteel, then made it back to get the ID and have the shield installed. not fair!


So to recap, I went from erandi to St k's with a class II deflector, and managed to stay alive.

There must not have been any Korolov's in your game in order to recieve the "gift", correct? That really had to suck!

[evilbob]

oh, there was one. In rigel, with 2 missions.

And you think your game was unfair? Try this one on for size:

There I was, deep inside the Charon system, stuck on a small moon. My ship was a Wolfen gunship; dual turbo lasers; class III shield; NAMI missile launcher; NOVA 50MW reactor; I forget the amour type; surrounded by Corsair, Viking, and Drake missile ships. Did I say surrounded? There were over (note the word over is an understatement), as I say over 150 of them. I stopped counting at 150, there were more. I fought until I was out of missiles, and they still keot comming. I fought until I was out of fuel, and they were still just as tick around me. I had even used auto pilot and just sat there as the anihilated each other just trying to kill me, yet they were still and impenetrable wall around my ship. I died in the cold of space for a complete lack of fuel. Now what were you saying about an unfair game...
That was using version 98d without any mods what so ever. Then I discovered the Xelerus website on the links page and discovered what mods were....

[evilbob]

that was avoidable. You could have gone straight though Charon.

I didn't get a class III. Or turbo lasers.

I had to go though Charon to military systems to get anything better.

Charon still swarms you with unlimited loot ... erm spawns when you attack a stronghold ^^ ?

yay ! loot !! *Yum*

[Aury]

Exploiting the spawned drakes + the AI bug can make you some really good money on the missiles and armor...

[Darth Saber]

So you say that that was avoidable? I was a member of the Korsolov Shipping Company; what else could a loyal employee do but try to avenge his employer while trying to make a profit at the same time?! Anyhow, once I used the power of the mod, the Charon pirates became more of a slight annoyance than a threat. Now I torch their stations for sport and gut them for pleasure.

[Aury]

and what mod was this?

[Darth Saber]

Well Wolfy, it was the firebeam and RPG mod for starters.
Then it was the fusion bomb.

Then I created my own...

So you didn't see any of my mods? .99 took all of the balance (what little of it there was) out of my Stephinian Missile Rack mod because it used to only fragment to the right. Now you can emp anything with it.

Well, Shilcote, I could not get your Stephininan Mod to work; thus I do not know through use, just what your weapons are capable of.
