More Newbie story questions

[OrcaFlutter]

Thanks for your patience. I am really impressed with the frequency of updates. I understand some players don’t like the unlocks. Me neither, but I do appreciate them as they force me to play builds and pick story lines outside of my comfort zone. Makes for a richer experience and more replay value.

Story questions:
1. Does Aldo Bastiel ever wake up? Not sure how long to keep playing to wait for that.
2. In a different storyline, does Valencia ever come back as the story text implies?
3. How do you trigger the Pit Fighter V?

Gameplay/narrative?
4. vytautas is now a soldier/wing commando, but he can’t use a blade with a rifle, is that on purpose (for game balance) or an oversight?

Updates
5.  Do I need to start a new game to get the new story lines/equipment/craft?

Thanks all! I care most about the story questions if you only have time to reply partially.

1. At this point no. There may be an update eventually that will continue that storyline eventually though.
2. Nope. Not sure if that story will continue. Did you play her story out? Or did she just leave after you played another Faen story?
3. It's random and normally late game. You'll just get it when landing on a planet. I don't know of any conditions. Not every story triggers every time, though generally if you play long enough you'll get them all.
4. Not sure. Wind Commando is new. It is a game rule though that offhand blades only go with pistols. I guess because rifles are generally two handed affairs. It is an odd design choice to class him that way.
5. Generally no. Everything new will be imported into the game. Some storylines only trigger in certain eras though so it is possible you could be past some of them and would need a restart, but I don't think any early stories have been released for a long time.

Generally restarting is a good thing though. The beauty of the game is trying different things and different styles.

Thanks
2. In this storyline, I sided with Valencia, completed her missions, took her aboard, kept her alive until she went with the Hunna and the parting text was that we’d run into her again.
4. I wasn’t sure if they thought Vytautas was OP and did him like Nikolai.

Vytautas is a KickStarter backer created character. It fits his story. Before he was a Pilot.

One more question, are certain jobs incompatible on a crew? My spy deserts at the first (Cadar) faction holding no matter what her morale is. I have a Steel Song bounty hunter (rescued from a patrol) and xeno hunter (from a Cadar contact), neither of them are officers. Thanks

[OrcaFlutter]

I figured it out

It was right after Valencia joined as a stowaway since my crew was already full. By dismissing any other crew member (didn’t have to be the bounty hunter) I was able to re-recruit the spy. So the storyline about Valencia being willing to stowaway when you already have a full crew (some branches of dialogue let her do this) is no longer correct.

Thx

I had that happen to me once too. It was very weird. I think that's a bug fallen

Yes, you chose to take Valencia onboard and overflowed the capacity of the ship. Someone deserts next time you land to return the balance. 100% as expected.
