Some Questions Regarding Trading and others

[agus2014]

First of all, hello to everyone new and experienced, I'm a newbie in this Forum. 
So.... I already play this game for a month (I think), and then after reading and digging for information regarding anything that I need to know, I finally got stuck with trading. I got some question, and I hope ppl that know the answer can help me with this :

1. About surplus and shortage of some ress... How can I know the number required to make it normal again? Cuz, I have sold about 10 items and I still not ending the shortage, while with surplus, how many item to left behind to make sure that the surplus isn't gone? And yes, this is about rep.

2. About those Strength stat, is it still a bug in Android device? (Not counting toward level). I found NO answer regarding this in the Forum, that's why I asked. Sorry if this bother anyone...

3. About those 64.17 AE time. Which is the year and which is the month and weeks? And then, in this game how many weeks = a month and how many months = a year? I got confused when my char visit the urban zone and suddenly time move forward to 64.30 AE...

4. About ramming... Is there a way not to damage your ship by using ramming attack?

And for Admin, and the Dev, your game is good, but also odd (for lore purpose). You see, when I go to Doctor to treat those my char health, I see that the Doctor using Magic, Cloning, and something else that I forget. But the odd thing is, when my char die cuz of that Alien, pirate or mutiny, my char didn't have those cloning ability to help them alive. They just die.... Hey, if you guys follow your own idea and lore about this game, at least you can make so that those char can "save" in faction planet or anything, by using records (probably 10) to store their "memory", and then some money to make sure that the doctor will clone him/her in the instance they're dead. At least that's what happen with the other space themed game out there man... With this, Perma Death is still exist, while the player can still have their own char and also OPTION to how they play this game. Hey that's what offline game is what about is it? Giving the player a lot of options on how to play their game...

1: If you can buy everything there is a surplus of, you'll end it, or a certain percentage I think. Not totally sure how much of something you have to sell to end a shortage, but I think it is close to 75-100. That seems to be what I have noticed.

2: Can't help with this one.

3: First number is year, second is weeks.

4: There are several upgrades that increase your ram power and several that increase your defense.

Your last idea sounds interesting. Maybe it could become a future award that you could get one chance to start over with a clone captain.

1. There is not a set number, so you just have to keep trading until you end it.
2. Yes, there is still a bug on Android where Strength is not counted toward level.
3. Year.Week, hope that helps!
4. It is feasible with the right upgrades and lucky dice.

Thanks for the complements. I am not sure who mentions cloning and magic. The high-end technologist doctors are not on board your ship, so if you die during a boarding action they cannot suddenly save you. There are no human clones (copies) in Star Traders, but there are ways to extend a person's life and repair massive bodily damage or lost parts.

Assassinations, legal. Mass murder, legal. Slavery, legal. Human cloning, KILL HIM/HER!!!

fallen, perhaps #2 is a blessing in disguise and not a bug. It would be cool to have a level 1 captain with 1000 strength. Here I come to save the day, thank goodness SuperSheep is on his way

And all the strength in the galaxy can't save you from hull-crushed. ;D

There's an escape shuttle in the app for that.

ntsheep & fallen : I just found out that buying 50% of surplus item is ok, the surplus is still there. Buying another 50% negate it...

Also, with that STR bug on Android, I guess I will make sure that my STR always 300% of my level...I don't want to have 2400 STR like starfixer did...

About cloning and magic, I read it when I try to heal my char...in those "Doctor" clickable.

Sorry if my english sux...

I believe the doctor refers to cloned body parts, not entire humans. You can clone a limb even today, but an actual person as we think of a person- not even thinking about thoughts, feelings, memories and so on- is much, much more difficult.

Yes, but not even Superman strength will give you a discount. Nope, you gotta work hard for your money!! ;p

Thanks a lot OG, now I'll have that song from the 80's stuck in my head. Don't be surprised if you get a visit from Lambchop for a campfire sing along this weekend.

[fallen]

Yes, body-parts can be regrown in vats. That's why your captain can loose many hands and eyes

I bet some medics on Explorer ships just have a medical cabinet labled "Spare Hands"

Actually, the Doctor's clininc didn't mention anything about cloned body parts. 

Here's what I copy from the explanation of Doctor's Clinic in the game :
"When the Captain is injured, even at death's door, the only place that he can go for live-saving treatment is a Technology Doctor. This wizards of medical technology can heal almost any wound with a collection of cloning, cybertechnology and dark magic. The cold hand of death is vast and strong in the Quadrant but the Doctor Technologist have given many a Captain a second chance".

So, with that in mind it's only logical to say that we can actually clone our char so that he/she will never die, and thus its our choice in how to end his/her adventure...but since the dev is a sick, psycho killer ( ) they didn't implement those options for us casual gamers...

Now....can the dev implement the use of cloning as the ability to "save" the life of our captain? (Like saving game, in another offline game). 

[ntsheep]

You make a good point. As fallen said though, cloning is limited to just parts. I think it is just a basic description of what happens when you get healed. No magic is really involved.
