I Started a New Template
Priority A) Contacts = 8
Faen & Arbiter early storyline

Is there a way of generating starting contacts that aren't from the same faction as Princess Aatean?

Out of 8 starting contacts, 3 are enemies in the Faen story line.
By the time I'm finished with the Arbiter these contacts will not be much use.

If feels like I selected, Priority A) Contacts, to get 8 of them. But really only get 5 I can use.

Checking Achievements while building a Template.

Important Edit 8/9/20: I Want to make sure this is the first thing you see in this thread, Thanks daveal .
Edit: Later, was informed wiki page is still manually updated


    You can unlock special ships, and contacts by completing these achievements. When you complete
one it is always available for future games on any difficulty.  The below list is what was available on 8/9/18.
You should expect it to grow dramatically.

    I was building a brand new custom Template. I set contacts at priority A giving me 8 to start the game with.
During contact selection. The Academy Doctor appeared on the list as locked. Wow! I sure want that contact.

    But I would have to exit all the way out before completing my template to find out which achievement will unlock
the Academy Doctor.

Not particularly elegant, but works for me.

1.) Start STF in Windowed mode.

2.) Open this forum thread in a new tab.
Now you can switch back and forth while creating your new template.

3.) When finished, return to STF menu select options ==> Fullscreen and restart.

daveal Great Job! Thanks for the excellent work.

Big +1k

1.)     Yep I strongly agree we shouldn't drop a point of Charisma. The paragraph marked "Brutal", should have left it out.
     I let myself get irritated about how many posts are trying to find ways to make the game more difficult on hard and above.

2.) Rep loss. Really so bad?     I'm only talking about difficulty levels above normal.

        Originally introduced to prevent over reliance on "Skip off the Void talent". 
     I frequently get negative rep whenever running from a fight.
     It doesn't matter if I'm flying a scout against a broadsword.    

         In STF recovering reputation loss is routine.  If you have a high rank within your Faction. 
     Currently if you have earned ranks above a certain level.  A few points of negative rep
     will cost you a military rank or trade license level.  But really, it only takes a few missions,
    and some cash to bring you back.        

         Your reputation should not remain unchanged as if the event never occurred.  The Captain chose to leave his
      crew in a burning hulk, captured or killed.  His previous command decisions led to this catastrophe.

3.)  Trait mutations.  As usual you are way ahead of me.  

        Okey dokey,  just a few carefree thoughts, not sitting in a corner holding my breath like a little brat.   

    I gotta make the last escape pod now, before the crew finds out there's one left.
(lol)

Signed Devil's advocate

 

Steam 703 Very Positive reviews. You guys must be lovin that.

I would buy a game with those ratings.

Shrewd Dealings Talent. I built my Captain to ferret out contact hidden traits in the smallest amount of time.

The Commander was the only one that can do this with a 3 week cooldown instead of 26 for all the others.

You can't see the talent in-game description until you reach Commander(8).

Took my Captain 13 levels to get it, ouch!

I need to make a decision about starting a new team that doesn't pivot on the Commander's Shrewd Dealings talent.

Commanders page wiki Displays 3 week cooldown.




On-board the ship. My Captain's Shrewd Dealings displays a 26 week cooldown.



Which one is working?
