I'm not sure who has been both (a) reading all the questions on steam and (b) even looks here. But, I think now is the time to have a well written, non-contentious FAQ posted prominently on steam. Here are some questions that keep coming up:
How do I complete a mission? Click the big green button in the left corner
How come surrendering gives me negative rep, what is the deal with negative rep? (Need a neutral answer here)
What happens if it crashes? Try validating the game integrity with steam, and then (something related to vcdist files I have seen somewhere)
Why do you even have unlocks, I hate them? (Need a carefully written neutral answer here)
Pointers to the best lets play, the wiki, the "100 tips" thread and the "how to get the unlocks" thread
What are the other most common questions recently?

Common questions I noticed:
Can you remove components without replacing them (No)
Can you increase the number of components on a ship (No)
I'll add them as I notice more but for some reason I'm hitting a blank right now.

When will the translations come out?
What about modding support?
I can write some of these answers and I will do so in the next few hours. I will try to write some of the answers neutrally but before posting, of course TB must approve, and if they want to post it instead of us, that is fine too.

How do I do these missions? (Trade Missions, deliver x commodity. Answer: Look for a zone that sells the good, the mission details should give you the zone types that sell it, and sell/stash it at the specified location)

Does the story move on without you? (Yes)
Can you do the story later? (You can opt back into the story at a later section, even if you didn't do the earlier parts. Example would be not taking the Arbiter to Faen, she'll get another Star Trader to ferry her)

Sounds like a great plan! Too busy to help atm but would love to see a well-organized starting FAQ get posted. Happy to pin it. Maybe most successful if it starts short.

OK, it is written, formatted and posted: startraders.gamepedia.com/FAQNothing links to it now, but obviously somebody could get there by typing "FAQ" in the search bar. Please comment, or just fix, anything where you disagree. |
