Small ship advantage: Quicker Leveling. Smaller number of crew to split up experience points. Your officers get their talents sooner. The ship pools can quickly get into the 300% or higher. When the pools are really big, the next larger ship you buy will start with premium percentages. Take a Scout out for a spin.  |

Update#86
Ship's Stats; bottom right skills section.
At the default 110 scaling. Only one word bonus get's chopped. Negotiate: 7[+
I think it's because of the length of the word. Everything else reads ok
(although I didn't check to see what happens when other skill bonuses go into double digits)

Must be something wrong with me tonight. It must be here somewhere..

It specifically looks for Balance Blade, if you have it then it is used. Otherwise uses the default attack Talent. Really glad this topic came up: Depending on the combat round you could end up with, +50% Parry, +25% Blade Accuracy, +10% Armor, +10% Damage, +10% Armor Piercing. This combo keeps these two level(1) talents valuable all the way through level(40). Great job!  |

Big plus having Saved Game slots. I spend allot of time designing teams, sometimes more than playing STF.
One saved game can inform another saved game of design flaws. Before it's too late for my
favorite team in progress to make changes.

I never realized there were no contacts offering Armor to start out. Glad you mentioned that, I couldn't remember who did. In the old days only the Ex-mercenary, and Retired Zeno Hunter used to offer Combat Armor. Delighted to find out Court Assassin & Judicial Counsel got added to armor vendors. I'm definitely on the look out for a Court Assassin now! Court Assassins also offer missions, edicts, buy intel, & recruit Assassins. Talk about your one stop shop. Wow! Hats off to Trese Brothers. |

Level(32) Skills. I wanted to make it obvious to myself where the skill points are going. This helps
when thinking about what jobs to combine. The first eight are your new Captain choices.
The rest are some of my favorite jobs to combine with the Captain, and Officers.
Note: Great news character Level cap has been raised from 32 to 40. Captain gets 44 job ranks Officers 40.
Official Job Stats ascending, descending table.

Could you paste this into a wiki page? I am not an expert on wiki formatting, but if you don't want to or it doesn't look right, I can also try formatting it. Great idea I'll look into it. Currently planning to post it on Steam STF guides. |
