With Android, so long as you're logged in with the same account you should be golden. If you find that the DLC is not showing, click on the purchase button in-app. The request will go back to Google and it will almost certainly say "you already own this" and let you have it with no additional cost. Let us know if that isn't the case and you're charged for the purchase

At least sheep minds tend to follow each other ... a flock of sheep is much more manageable than a herd of cats

I lost my mind somewhere. Will meditation help me find it?

Using lasers to take out teapots is also a good idea

"Everyone hates you" seems easy, as by default I'm only liked by my original faction. By trading with a house that had a ban I became a Legendary Crime Lord with the house banning them Unless by everyone you do mean EVERYONE. Everyone hates you is really that - you have -100 RP or more with every faction. That means: * No dock/palace/exchange access * No surrender - you will be instantly executed * Increased bounty hunters wanting a piece (or pieces) of you If you're playing on a high difficulty, your fuel consumption is a real factor, as even going all out looting every ship often leaves you short. Independent factions will allow you to repair/rearm, but their torps are sucky quality, and armor is made out of paper mache.

Yup, check your rumors. There may be an event that is causing the dock to be closed down. There isn't much you can do in that situation except hope that the rumor will clear before the contract expires. It is likely that the contract will lapse first.
Another gotcha is to double-check the wording of your contract. Sometimes you are actually meant to to go into the wilderness of a planet, and you keep going to an urban area expecting to complete the contract.

g As Fallen has stated, it's a sandbox and doesn't have a story line at all. The only backstory you really have is that your ship was left to you by your father, you owe the quadrant nothing, and Steel Song are targets of opportunity. A long time in the distant past, we had some community challenges, which allowed you to test your skills against other forumites, but other than that, it's pretty much open. The game will go on for ALMOST ever. I say almost because there is a point where you make so much money that the game goes from positive values to negative and you suddenly fly with an impossible amount of negative credits. Don't worry though, you need to have banked about 2,147,483,648 credits (give or take). I've only heard of one person who did that. My highest is only around the $100m mark not billions. Some quick challenges for you to try: 1) How long can you play in a starting ship 2) How many credits can you earn in 10,000 turns (you can check the number of turns played in your Captain Record) 3) How long can you survive in Impossible difficulty (or if you're relatively new to the game, substitute "Crazy" difficulty) 4) Can you play with everyone hating you? Build up your character and reputation until you are say level 20 with what you deem a decent ship, then attack every ship that comes across your path. repairs/refueling is only at Independent planets 5) How long can you play without winning or losing a space combat? This requires that you run from every hostile encounter (hint get Pilot + stealth skill up for this). ST RPG is a deceptive game in that it is relatively easy to learn the basics, but has so many layers that it will take ages for you to really learn how everything works. It is also significantly different from the sequel, ST Frontiers, not just in style and graphics, but in gameplay. ST Frontiers does have a more robust story line if that is what you are after, but it is still an endless game.

When you go into your Status --> Cargo, you can see all of the icons for resources. Clicking on any one of then will open up a summary of what the resource is, along with the buy/sell prices for all of the recent exchanges that you went to, including distance and navigation options. You can also see the average buy/sell prices (based on your exchange history).
This means that if you are carrying a large amount of Vudka that you liberated from a Steel Song ship, you can go into your status-->cargo and see where the best price to sell that stuff would be. You can then click on the "plot" button and it will set a course for that planet.
Alternatively, you can pull out the stopper in the bottles, stuff a rag in there and after lighting the rag, start hurling them at any Steel Song infrastructure that you see. Given everything that Steel Song make is usually out of corrugated cardboard, it will either burn down - or just collapse because soggy cardboard has no structural integrity.

poryg, it's not polite to torp a newcomer until at least a week has passed Welcome to the forum. Which games have you gotten addicted to started playing?

Okay - from quick experimentation, you can have a maximum 4 ships in Free (1 ship active + 3 ships in dry dock). For Elite, you can have 2o ships (1 ship active + 19 ships in dry dock.
Note that a useful tip for ships in dry dock is store as much Water fuel as you can in each ship before you park it in dry dock. That way, if you are running short on gas but have <cough> caused enough damage to Steel Song to get you barred from the market, or there is a trade embargo going on, you can top up without getting penalties.
Of course if you have annoyed Steel Song so much that they bar you from the star dock, then it's probably better you don't have any ships stored there anyway.

You can have 20 ships in the game - not sure if you have a lower amount in Free though. Probably you do - I'll have to find out for you. Watch this space.
... oh on second thoughts, maybe don't watch this space diligently because let's face it, I've become a rather unreliable cat of late, so might not get an answer to you super fast.

Yup, Had to figure out how to fly STF ships. Man, they are much harder and doing things I did with ease in ST1 doesn't work now. I'm getting there though

Hooooooooooome! The cat slumps down at his usual corner of the local Spice Hall. Well he does so after gently encouraging the occupants of his booth to leave (or be disemboweled). He just flew in from the other end of the quadrant and man are his arms tired. Good to be home though.
