Ideas for guest posts on the Multiverse

[george moromisato]

If anyone would like to write a guest post for the Multiverse, please let me know. I'd like to publish stuff from you all.

I'm looking for (short) articles on the following topics:

TIPS FOR BEGINNERS
1. Best Sapphire build-out to get to St. Katharine's
2. Some tips for making money in the beginning
3. 10 Things every beginner should know
4. Favorite extensions from Xelerus

ADVANCED TOPICS
5. Comparison of end-game weapons (by DPS, etc.)
6. Tips for farming Ferians
7. Tips for killing a Phobos

MODDING TOPICS
8. 10 Things every modder should know
9. Tutorial for creating a player ship
10. Using G.O.D (or some other god mod)

Of course, if you have your own ideas, I'd love to hear it too.

Off the top of my head...

6. Tips for farming Ferians

Use waste cannon or other radiation weapon on Ferian miners.
1. Death by radiation always leaves a wreck behind. More wrecks means more loot.
2. You do not need to be near the nest when the miners die and the warriors spawn. You can contaminate some miners, then fly to a friendly station where guards can shoot at incoming warriors.

EDIT - Also, sometimes, a fast-enough player (with .25c or more) may want to use Ferians to destroy other stations or otherwise commit piracy by proxy. Player can destroy nest, lure Ferians to the target station, and position himself such that when he dodges an attack, it hits the station instead. If Ferians destroy station, move on to the next station, until the Ferians or all stations are destroyed. No matter what happens, the player will have lots of loot.

Code: Select all

9. Tutorial for creating a player ship

I could do that one. I've been toying with the idea for some time to write this anyhow.

Cheers,

That would be awesome. Thank you!

I could probably do some money-making and sapphire-piloting tips for beginners. I routinely end up with more than a million credits in the game.

I could also help out with the Ferian tutorial, although others will have better strategies than I (My bit? Do not forget warriors. Their plasma cannons are exceptionally valuable at black market stations)

I seem to have at some point become the opinionated guy regarding endgame equipment so I might tackle that one. Vanilla only or mention CC options?

That's great--I think a lot of players would appreciate that. Thanks!

Cool--thanks!

I leave it up to you on whether you cover CC or not. If CC changes things a lot, you might want a separate article. If it's just a couple of options, maybe a quick mention. If it's somewhere in between you could cover CC in a sidebar to the article.

I have a strategy guide for Anacreon about 90% written up, so once the game is out of Beta it might make a good multiverse post.

Yes! Definitely. Thanks.

I'm willing to do posts relating to the community, wrap up the IRC day stuff and post it, what ever else I could help with in that aspect. Feel free to suggest.
