I'm in BraveStar and pretty much ready to go to Mars, but I can't see how to progress the story. I've tried talking to Lt Simmons and Texas Powers, but they aren't progressing me.
I'm skilled enough to start Mars jobs, but it's a little fustrating that the next step/connector isn't that obvious to me or it's glitched.

Something interesting will happen. Also, in case you double-clicked over the interesting thing, keep on checking to see if Luka or Mercer have something to say to you. |

I ment to say my rep is 158. Mercer & Luka are offering nothing. Lt Simmon is telling me to see Texas Power. Power is telling me to stick with him and to hold onto my security pass. Investigator Shahin isn't offering anything, tho I'm doubting he's set up yet.

Texas is done with you, you have done his whole ladder. Go back to Weingarts. See if you have a button there about 'Your guard mentioned that Luka and Mercer were looking for me' or something like that. |

That's what Weingart says Attachments:

Yurak - it seems you have hit a bug of some sort. Around 60 Reputation, you should have been pointed to talk to Luka and Mercer to proceed to the next part of the storyline. Going that high in Reputation starts putting you into areas that even grävling hasn't tried in the Weingart ladder. It goes higher, but it won't put you back on the story line. This is a new one. Others have passed here before successfully. Which release of the app are you using? Perhaps there was an accidental skip of a dialog before the 0.9.17 release?

I'd got a computer off Lt Simmons and a pair of Mars Shock gloves (not pro) off him or Power. I'm trying to think of other random convos. Does any of Power's convos affect Lt Simmon's? I'd also got Power's Vchip without promoting.

I'm currently running the newest patch. I usually get it within a day or two of the new patch

I had no idea there was more at Weingarts. I must try this.  |

The gift that keeps on giving. I've noticed something interesting here.
We've got a branching story that can be executed in multiple different paths, and in different sequences to get different results.
How does the forum support team offer advice when they probably haven't (even for the top tier members) seen every combination?
Do we need to produce and distribute to a limited group some type of flowchart or master event list?
I'm just trying to figure out how we enable people who want to support new players. Thoughts?

Some of the 'different sequences get different results' are not handled well yet, in my opinion. ==============SPOILER======== For instance, if you start asking questions about the journal, you get only 2 outcomes, hire Liza, and make Luka very happy. Do what Sara wants is excluded. But after discussing everything with everybody you could well agree that what Sara wants is the best of all possible outcomes and want to do that. So yes, I would be very interested in seeing the flowchart, though this will mean that I will make suggestions about how I would like it better if it flowed differently. Would that be ok? |

Of course, suggestions are welcome. I also think the flowchart could encourage better discussion because we'd all be talking about the same thing.
I'll have to defer to Andrew on how hard it will be to make the actual artifact itself, but I think it could help encourage discussion.
And I agree, we still have bugs (code and content) that are keeping us in the BETA state.

Yurak - at this point, somehow the 60 Reputation did not trigger (or somehow it was skipped) the conversation that should have opened up the next major part of the story, Operation Eastwind Niner. If Luka, Mercer, and Lt. Simon won't talk to you about it, there is definitely a bug (no other conversations will help). I am trying to think of how to help you out without damaging other players' saved games.

grävling / @cory - I can start trying to resurrect the original paper flow chart i had and find a way to make it digital. There were so many notes, scribbles, block IDs, post conditions and stuff written on it by the time it was over that I think I tossed it as a "lost artifact." Hopefully its still in a pile of papers, but I just did a clean-sweep of my house before i went on travel and threw out everything that wasn't essential... so, likelihood is low. I can always create a new one! ===== SPOILER ===== grävling - that's on purpose. While you might decide that is the best option, once Eliza knows the truth, she won't go with her mother.

fallen, don't worry too much. Theres a possibility I've feel through a crack between patches. As you said else where, this is a BETA so We're working out bugs :-) A bug has been raised, let's see if it happens again or its just a one off :-) @cory I'm talos935 on emails. Just to help put contacts together
