Hi people. My exploration of smugglers 2 continues, and is proving interesting. Using the list box and Hal's read line key (F6), inter system trading isn't too bad, though with a lot more different goods to look throug h it does take longer, possibley it'll speed up when i know the markit better. Looting though seems much more lucrative, especially as cargo space seems much larger, and there is actually a catagory of ship wreck parts. The game also features more diverse text for missions and for news reports, or at least a greater amount than I noticed in S3. You can also accept missions fromthe independent trader coorp (which I'm guessing is what eventually turns into the confederation), so even if your in trouble with the governing body on whatever planet your on, ---- the federation or the outer rim alliance, you can stil have missions. Crime is also more interesting, sinse you actually get court summonsis, and obviously as it's set just at the start of the war, rather than when things have really gone for a burten as in S3, the lores are stricter, and illegal trading is more difficult, ---- you actually have to go in the bar and find the syndicate in order to buy illegal goods from them, and finding them is tricky.
I have however run into one problem which is rather annoying, there seems no way to buy weapon upgrades at all! I've tried clicking on the names of weapons and get nothing, even though i had the cash. I'm not sure whether this is something to do with planet types, ship types or rank or something else, or whether it's a screen reader issue. Missiles seem very weerd, in fact I think you buy a missile type which you then get one time use of in battle, because sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, and I can't be sure when. It's entirely possible that buying equipment upgrades just doesn't exist in the demo version, ---- like in game sound, especially as prices for ships are much lower (a shaddow cat is only 33.00), and various ship types are much more available. I would ask on the nielsbauer forum, but it's annoyingly down for maintenance at the moment. I'll go on experimenting and see what I can find. It'd be nice if this game was playable as well, especially as the new lands add-on for the game sounds interesting. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
