In this game I never found the Terra and Antarctica (never happened before). They either were not there, or completely destroyed before I could find them (by Ares, Xenophobes and or Gaians)
The last sytem before Heretic contained exactly four types of stations: Ares Shipyards (10 of them) one Ares Commune, one Teraton and one Ringer Station. The system before that had most of its friendly stations destroyed by Worldships and Rankx Dreadnoughts, Only 3 survived: CSC Asia, A commonwealth station and a Ringer station. Left for me were an Ares Commune and a Rankx fortress.
There were no Ringer Shipyards in the game.
Last three systems before Heretic all had at least 3 Gaians destroying everything useful until I blew them out of existence.
Gave myself the challenge to use only ammo weapons in this game and that worked out well. Made extensive use of the single Teraton fabricator (lot of backtracking to get ammo in the last systems) to fabricate insane amounts of Gotha's and Thermo Cannon shells. Got the Omnidirectional Thermo cannon shortly after St. Kats and used it until the end. Before that I used the smartcannon. Swapped the Nami launcher I got in Eridani somewhere around Sanctuary for the rasiermesser launcher. Had never used the Rasiermesser launcher before and had a very positive experience with it. Never before found it easy to kill a Phobos, this made it easy with Gotha 400's. Used the Gotha 10 mainly for destroying stations.
Had full Domina powers in St Kats. Coutesy of Three Sung slavecamps.
Used a variety of armors and shields, ending with Enhanced Neutronium and the Taikon 200. It's a bit strangen that no station can repair Neutronium, but you can do it yourself with the repairkits and barrels of repairing nano's, enen the lowly armor patch works wonders....
Most of all, it was fun....
Starting a new game with the Wolfen, haven't used that for a while.
