Hello again!
After reading a number of new game plus requests where we wish to play as a high level captain owning the age 210.02ae like a back to the future sorts, why not limit a carry over on a limited number of resources just like in other games?
I mean in new game we inherited our charter from our uncle that perished in an expedition, right?
Things carried over: -credits (can be all or up to a %) -weapons, specialist, military, combat gear from contacts that were acquired or gear and relics from Card games -ships on dry dock
Everything else starts from scratch: levels unless A priority in Template,starting faction, faction rep, personal rep, starting crew, etc.
What this will mean: We are able to enjoy a more casual playthrough story wise in case we made a mistake on the first playthrough. We can also specialize early on with certain jobs like exploring, salvaging with minimal preparation required etc.
You may add this as a reward too for an achievement if you want it locked or say play a new game up to the end to utilize this feature. You may also lock the achievements to new game only and not ng+ for that TB signature experience.
Again these are just my thoughts so thank you and more power!

violetmistum - cool suggestions for sure. As you've probably seen with other players posting the request, while we've considered it we do not plan to add a legacy system to STF, it is beyond the scope of the game and fundamentally changes the story we sought to tell here.

fallen Could mod support enable something of this nature perhaps ? Or would that be like really extensive overhauling of the entire game and it's systems ?

Alright! No worries! I guess the modded version can prolly take care of that for fun casual runs. Again thank you!

Maybe this is something that will excite backers for STF2

Maybe this is something that will excite backers for STF2 Paradox detected. STF is technically StarTraders 2. STF2 would then be StarTraders 3. Then there's StarTraders 4X which begs the question of what happen to 1X through 3X. Of course then you must ask what about A through W. That's 23 other letters that went missing. How many times were they used before moving on to the next letter. We're starting to get into some high level equations here. 23*N^/sheep*torp. IF Bader=Cat then Gosub KickStarter ELSE torp Rabbit. Modern keyboards still have the Pause/Break key which the TB's haven't figured out how to use My buffers can't handle this much Process Overloads. I think I just fried my last IRQ, my DMA went MIA, and the Soundblaster got set to smooth jazz.

SergZak my human body I use for real world interactions has been in operation for 42 1/2 years. It's brain has it's good days and bad. Memory access is strange at times. While the events from a few days ago can be difficult to replay, all information pertaining to Dragon Warrior is available at a moments notice.

SergZak my human body I use for real world interactions has been in operation for 42 1/2 years. I got the jump on you, amigo. Mine's been in operation for 59 years this month...I believe my RAM could be failing (as well as the eyesight) at a faster rate. At least that's what it seems like recently.

There are days I feel like I could be 59+. Due to a motorcycle accident a few years back my repair subroutines had to work overtime and spare parts from a cadaver were used to rebuild my right knee. I'm part zombie now.

These are all good questions, sheep.
Perhaps if we use roman numerals, it will be simpler. Let me try to explain ...
STC/RPG = STI TA = STII ST4X = STIII TBF = STIV STF = STV STF2 = STVI

Cory Trese you forgot to add CyberKnights All the Easter eggs in the New Boston zone that show the link between the past and future.

I hope CKF is a roaring success so it can fund a truly massive STF2.

Cory Trese look how far you've come since the first game. You've connected with people all over the world and brought them together on this forum. You're still worried about success? Take a break. You've earned it. We'll be here waiting
