Succession #6 Corporate Command Sneak Peek

[Azarya1]

It's not my time to play yet, methinks, but I did boot up CC and picked the Constellation. Protip, even though I am a huge newb: Don't use the Constellation. The shields get killed by anything laser, and the auton sucks. The Moskva 11 is also completely unusable. That is all, off to go try the sweet-looking Freyr. Also, unless I'm mistaken, our copy of CC is permanent, yes? We don't have to pay to get it once it's officially released?

[PM]

For Constellation, sell its auton bay for 18000 credits and get yourself some real equipment.

I have a problem with the save! Transcendence does not recognize it! I click load and see no saved game (that are not mine), and I tried on two computers without success. Since I cannot play the save, someone else can take RPC's save.

[Ttech]

I'll play next, poke me on IRC.

[RPC]

I accidentally made a registered game so I'm redoing turn #1.

[RPC]

Okay, here is the unregistered Turn #1:
Succession6-Turn1[RPC]

[RPC]

This is a really bad place to save though but I think that's a testament to the bad gun, bad auton, and bad shields that this ship has :S

[PM]

Picked up save.

I had a look, and that is an understatement.

I played a bit myself and managed to get a full set of blast plate + ablative (you'll need high laser resistance later)
I look forward to actually taking a turn

Turn #2 at Xelerus. Highlights:
* Did a few more missions, but did not clear much else, because the save left the Constellation at death's door.
* Decided to try Stock Market. After a few trials, I figured out the basics. After a few hours of grinding, I went from a thousand credits to over a million.
* We have over a million credits, about half of it in the stock market. Treat it like a bank deposit.
* Constellation has mid-level gear: Shuriken neutron blaster, Yoroi S100, Nova-100, 4x blast plate, patcher arm. (I forgot to buy and install launcher.)
* Constellation has two Aegis autons with upgraded gear. Upgraded gear includes blast plate, turbolaser, and Cyclotron S1200. (NOTE: Autons do not accept devices that require 10 MW or more!)
* Additional cargo includes helium assemblies for your Nova-100 and illegal items.
* Eliminated the Salvager in Tau Ceti with extreme prejudice.
* Tau Ceti anomaly recorded on accomplishments.

Turn #3
Next save is here

• Got Black Market Rom
• Farmed Friendlies and Enemies - Got 4 scavengers, 6 Armed Transports (lots of points too)
• Two Korolov missions between two systems
• Played around with the stock market some more - think there is potential if you buy ~19.60.
• Used one Auton from PM's collection and gained one more - an autosentenel

[FourFire]

Got the save.

Edit: updates
Got rasiermesser V300 armor from Eridani and installed it on all our (6) autons
Found a large number of laser enhancers and boosted/installed laser weapons on some of the autons
Played the Arena all they way up until Kate's mission (accidentally said yes to it >.< )
Going to get military rom and galactic map from St. Kats

Edit:
Here is the save.
I went past St. Kats sold some slaves to Dominia got patch spiders, and Autocannon.
Use the autons, use them well because they will be useless soon as ships become immune to laser damage.
We can't activate all installed devices at once, I've got a koshiba 500 reactor but we need a CSC to install it.
Please hoard Tritium injectors, and Diamond Field crystals Dont use any yet!
We also have an external mark V howitzer can't install it yet...

Have fun!

[PM]

Downloaded save and will play.

EDIT - It is possible to enhance items beyond +150%, so FourFire has a point.

Turn #5 at Xelerus. Highlights:
* Reached max rank for CW Militia.
* Explored Sanctuary. Deposited nearly all cargo in the wrecked Sung station near purple star. Check carefully and take stuff before you leave!
* BM Shipyard at Sanctuary. Upgraded to SN2500 reactor.
* Took out a slave camp in a previous system. We have all Domina powers and a few coffins left.
* Got a Yoroi MX from a Sung fortress.
* Used Ingenity to enhance all of our armor, Yoroi MX, 250 MW reactor and Titan engines.
* Bought thermo enhancer from Thor's.
* Made a waste cannon to kill Ferian miners. (Have not done so yet.)
* Put more money in Stock Market. If you plan to go on a Sung station killing spree, sell all shares representing Jiang's Star first!

What did you guys feed the autons with? One shot from their green lasers dropped my S500 shields instantly, and take a big chunk out of my enhanced MX shields.

I'm going to play next if nobody else wants to
