My Network game Blues (on version 1.04)

[erik dela cruz]

I finished this just yesterday after playing The Network for about a month(whew).

1. In the Ares System, I was able to help the CSC (name I forgot) to escape but in my stats it did not appear.
2. I did not find the prison of Terek.
3. I did not find Huaramaca.
4. ....and I forgot my other comments. I'll post it next time.

Note: The game crashed 30 freakin' times! I was stuck 5 times and my resurrections gave me 40.

[RPC]

Do you know why the game crashed? Are you using any outdated mods?
1. Is that the CSC Antarctica?
2. I haven't either.
3. Huaramaca is different on The Network. Instead of a special system randomly generated, the tuali drug tells you which system has the special gate and then you find it there.

[erik dela cruz]

I tried getting back on the game but an error came saying the system cannot be drawn, in short I finished it but I got locked out. RPC it wasn't the Antarctica because I was able to help Antarctica in the same system it can be found. I guess the Flamberg Mercenaries guild is just not compatible with T104 so it added up to my misery.

On Huaramaca, every Huari in their forts tell me it's in a nebula in Sanctuary and after consumic so much fuel I still failed to find it(even with Prescience).

Anyways this a bit of my stats(I can no longer go back in that game fot the program fails to open) and says it was unable to load the game:
(oops game resurrection was 35 so I almost played it Permadeath!)

If there's one thing I loved about this is finding out how really powerful the Ares Plasmacannon can be especially in destroying enemy stations! From Jiangs to the Heretic this baby did mucho damage to all stations (min 1:max 4 shots) by just using a weapon enhancement ROM. I mean wow. It's amazing and fun. The only setback here is it occupies two weapon slots.

[erik dela cruz]

Uhm RPC is the Nerefir the only playable ship in DySys4? I tried playing it in T106 but got confused in how to fly your ship(also where in the galaxy is that starting system?).

[RPC]

@erik: Yes, it's only for DySys V4. The Lumen system is in no way connected to the Vanilla topology. I will make it playable for Vanilla when I get carrier AI fixed
There are some instructions in the comments, but all you have to do is to change the starting system in Nerefir's playersettings from

Code: Select all

<PlayerSettings
			desc=				"FILL IN! If found, please report on Xelerus."
			initialClass=		"false"

			startingSystem=		"Lumen"
			startingPos=		"Inbound"
			>

to

Code: Select all

<PlayerSettings
			desc=				"FILL IN! If found, please report on Xelerus."
			initialClass=		"false"

			startingSystem=		"SE"
			startingPos=		"Inbound"
			>

and it should be playable in Vanilla.
There is a manual in the ships screen (the interior screen used to refuel) and it will tell you how to get weapons turned on and such.

[RPC]

Oh, and when 1.07 comes out and I do an EPIC Permadeath game with Weapons Extended + DySys + The Network, I'll find out where the Huari are.

[erik dela cruz]

Thanks for the code RPC. SE means Starton Eridani right? Ok, got it
Epic Permadeath? Wow, sounds exciting err... what's in it? Lemme guess uhmm.. once you die in any point of the game then game over?
No more resurrections?

Oops forgot to mention that in the Ares System the aforementioned CSC and my ship were chased by Deimoses. Grrr.

[RPC]

Yeah, SE is Starton Eridani.
As for epic permadeath, yes, one death will make me restart.

[erik dela cruz]

Oh man, what if I'm about to beat the crap out of the ICS then suddenly I unwittingly forgot to refuel and die, then thats it? Aww. that would hurt.
Big OUCH for my playing ego(and this laptop might fly out of my window).

[RPC]

XD.
I wish you good luck then.

[Ttech]

Quite a challenge! Dont' know if I would manage.

[erik dela cruz]

On version 1.05: I'm crossing my fingers, as I plan to buy insurance whenever needed, to be able to actually finish the Network permadeath.
So far so good:
