Alright, I'll play in the meantime :P

Edit: Done the save can be had Here

(careful two failed freighter missions in a row if we lose a third one we lose the rest of the CW Fleet questline)

Otherwise have fun!

I don't know if I have no idea of what I'm doing or if our play styles are just so radically different but I cannot use this setup. With playership drones I might since I could have a nice gunship but as long as I live I shall never do this again. I load in and I have a +300% omni tritium cannon and a frackin 300% Yoroi MX with no clue as to what I am doing. I go in and do what I normally do ezcept I cant really get rid of all your stuff so I cant do my thing which is the murdering hobo strategy and I have no idea how you got weapons LIKE THESE. The freighter is too slow for my play style (hit and run). We have Light Iocrymn armor installed, without being even REMOTELY CLOSE to the Iocrymn. I may come back once I understand everything again but do not excpect me back soon.

I guess that's the main problem with successions. My first try (in succs 5) ended in a big boom because I can't use any of the ships already present then, and so need to buy a new one. Didn't have the money needed to fully upgrade the ship, because I don't know what items should I sell. :?
Yes, look at my avatar, I have a wyvera type ship.

Are the writeups good enough or should we request FF and other players to add more detail so you guys understand where the save is...?

I consider half the point of successions to be that people have to cope with what the previous player has left them to work with. Obviously I can't say anything about this one since I managed to miss it entirely until it was too late to join, but that setup, while certainly unusual doesn't seem like anything unworkable to me. More documentation would probably help. Succession games with awesome write-ups are always better.

If future successions end up like this one, I'll certainly be taking part in them.

Agreed. Figuring out what loot/mess the previous player has left you with and making the best out of them is one of the charm of a succession game. I would appreciate more detailed write-up, though, I would recommend taking a screenshot any time something important/interesting happens and give a brief description. This way we can know what has happened beforehand, what new equipment has been acquired and what changes have been made to the ship, etc.

I use Gadwin Printscreen to take screenshots in png format for all my succ games and upload them on photobucket.
Has resurfaced!

Exactly, I could work with the setup, I just did not understand anything about it or what I could get rid of. I didn't have any idea what I was doing because I didn't know what I could actually do without messing up the plan. Of course a freighter is too slow for me, but I could work with the setup as long as I can customize it and play to my liking.

I'm sorry for my posts lacking in debrief.
This is approximately how it is:

* We have an omni-thermocannon which is enhanced, crazily.
* We have Light Iocrym armor which I nabbed from two separate Ringer stations.
* We have a new CC device which Fabricates Thermo cannon shells.
* Phobii are now insanely durable so we really Need the improved weapons in order to prevail over them.

We are in Ares space and trying to locate the end of the CC mission tree or whatever
I figure that with such a over powered thermo weapon with tracking we don't need a secondary weapon, the range isn't bad either, at ~120 ls


Use whatever weapons you like, if you come across a better shield, use it but keep anything level VIII or over which is enhanced for obvious reasons.

The corporate station reassignment thing bugged out, I don't know why.
I was reassigned to first the Lallande station and from there to the original starter station (which didn't have any quests for me)
I think it's broken.

Have fun too!

Let's just say I probably would not have messed with the Stock Market if RPC's first save did not leave the Constellation in such bad shape that combat was not a viable option. It did not take me long to figure out how the basics work, and break it wide open. It requires a couple hours of grinding if you start poor, but I find myself spending that much time mining several systems or sitting on stars with fragile solar armor for free fuel.

Right, save up: http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=1337
(What a waste of mod 1337 :p)

Our weapons come in two flavors now: Godmod, and I-forgot-to-uninstall-this. How the heck did we get a +850% omni thermo anyway?

Not a whole lot of interesting stuff to talk about. Found a CSC, installed the stuff in the cargo hold, ranked up, saved the Antarctica, stopped next to Heretic. New stuff from CC was relatively sparse in the outer realm. I think we got a bit unlucky in that no more corporate centers spawned out here. There's a new enemy type and a lot of cool equipment though. I just had no reason to install anything else.. :D
Best shots:

The secret commonwealth headquarters!

Stop squabbling. Brats.

Saving the Antarctica took about five seconds. You can see the trail of dead Aquilas coming from the stargate on the LRS.

Oh yeah, I bought a jumpdrive if you want to go exploring, though it isn't installed. Also, that gem is Sacrifice.

Have you finished the CC storyline yet? There's a part of it that appears lately in the Outer Realm too. I played my own game and found that out surprisedly. It's very hard for me (playing the Constellation just for the challenge.) But shouldn't be any sweat if you have that... +800% demon weapon. :D

Maybe I shouldn't have abandoned ship so quickly. Sounds like y'all are having a great time. I finally got a decent computer that can play Transcendence again, but with it, two jobs that makes gaming time a rare thing.
