Hmm, that's an interesting strategy. Me personally, I'm an all or nothing kind of guy, for some reason I go for the super upgrades. And actually you can buy a paladin in about any system that I've seen, I really have no idea what the not available thing is unless there's other ships that don't show up. I know I've seen some ships that aren't on the list, for example the hellcat and the corsair, I think they're federation spacific ships, so maybe the not available thing is those ships and they don't show up because he didn't bother to textualize the ships you couldn't buy. From basically the corvette up though, I pretty much stole my way through the ships rather than buy them. It's a lot easier on the purse if you can find a ship with a fairly weak crew. It can still be tough though.
As for focus beam 2, it must be mark, since I don't have either double speed or emp resistance. For some silly reason I went over into the criminal skill tree after I got tractor beam, which I got way too late in the game for my liking by the way, I like your idea better *grin*. So I'm now at rank admiral and can't get any further mercenary skills, which sucks since I'd really like to have emp resistance. Ah well, for another time I suppose. --- 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.
