Smugglers hold

I think he meant which planet he could get it from. ;D

I can't remember but watch out for Star Dock booms which provides ALL unlocked upgrades! ;D

[danx55]

:-D thanks guys. btw. what is a star dock boom? not heard of that before.

Hey Danx,

The rumor is: "There is a recent surge in starcraft developments on <blah> and many Upgrades are available there."

[danx55]

hi slayer.
ah right. cool. will keep an eye out for that message then. thanks

[slayernz]

Otherwise it'll show up randomly - so go to the larger planets eg Economy is 10 means higher numbers of ship traders and therefore parts. Good Security and Palace are also important.

[danx55]

ok thanks.
odd that it is propulsion section. so other poster wasn't wrong either :-D

was also thinking would be cool if it told you which parts conflicted with others ?

cheers

Yeah ... nobody would suspect a storage hold deep in the bowels of the void drives. I mean, who would want to spend weeks/months stashed away, so close to gamma ray-emitting power sources generating constant temperatures of 390K even with coolant. Passengers have to enter the hold while the ship is in the docks, and won't be able to leave the "chamber" until the next time the ship has been properly powered down.

Deep-space rendezvous are particularly tricky because it means a power-down in zero-grav.

[danx55]

finally got it installed - but then it blocks any further propultion upgrades
thats annoying

Gotta be careful with them upgrades, part of the game design. One of the reasons I been playing Star Traders as long as I have is because of the difficulty.

This isn't Angry Birds, this is an Ship to Ship combat and resource trading game.

Heck if the game were easy I wouldn't be playing. Truth be told. It's the difficulty that keeps me coming back.
Now that I'm fighting pretty well in impossible setting, I'm looking at other games .. BECAUSE I feel I've beaten the challenge.
Does that mean I'll stop playing STrpg: Nope. Its still one of the hardest games out there IMO.

[danx55]

hi.
yes true. I think I'm still partly in Elite style mode :-D

really enjoying hammering the conflicts now. on one side I'm a star hero while on the other
I'm the most hated criminal of all time! :-D

Try giving yourself PERSONAL achievements.

1) Be a total a-hole (-1K rep with ALL factions) on Impossible with 0 XP spent on Stealth and survive for 100 years.
2) Hunt down 100 Aliens.
3) Cache 1,000 units of every commodity available on every planet.

Y'know, stuff like that. ;D
