Hi Darren.
Yes, star traders is harsh. I've started on normal and I still! have taken
several games to get the hang, but not knowing faction planets is something
of a miner pest, since it means I have to run round far more to satisfy all
the powers that be.
Regarding coordinates, well if you've got the elite version of the game
you've already got all the locations and the largest map, but to be honest
where you are in the game matters very little. Basically, everything
interesting and individualistic happens at planets. If you get a contract
or a rumour or something else that tells you there is something going on at
a location, that is really the only reason to go there, all space locations
are pretty much the same otherwise. As I said this isn't a game like
smugglers where you look through space for interesting things to visit,
rather you look out for rumours or contacts then head there.
This is likely why I've heard sighted players all use the navigator menue
rather than worry about using the graphical map.
It takes some getting used to and I admit it's a different style of game to
other space traders, but the rumour and nav system do make star traders
quite unique.
Regarding difficulties, well there is where you get the differences. The
chapter in the manual detail what is what, but generally on higher
difficulties you get more enemies and tougher enemies as well. I'm myself
staying away from those until I've got my basic stratogies down.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] startraders rpg question
Ok so I got killed in the end. through my own stupidity infact. To be
blunt
this game does punish the fool thus I know where I went wrong.
Here's my question. I've upped the difficulty a bit. I assume that by
upping
the difficulty you can unlock even more ships? What about new areas of
space? So far I've been only able to go out to around 33 33. Am pretty
sure
there's more to it than that but I haven't yet found anything to take me
there. it's a shame you can't just enter a set of cords and off you go.
