oh a tip for anyone who wants rin:
blow up a tereton colony, loot it, then sell it to other teretons for money

Can you buy/play as ships other than the starters without modding?

And what do the autons do?

Autons are basically helper ships. I've found them fairly useless except for the mule auton and the emp auton.

So far, I don't think there is a way to switch ships through the game.

hmmm... those teratons seem pretty invicible. I've been bashing away at thier defenceless station for like, forever, but nothing ever seems to happen

Question - if I have a damaged class III deflector, where can I get it fixed without getting another one?

I find they're pretty useful to draw fire, as well.

Dang that Tripoli-class destroyer. I only seem to be able to defeat it by pounding its rear with missles, but I can't get its HP down . . . anysuggetions? For a probably-too-early-too-be-taking-on-a-destoyer-anyway kind of guy . . . in the fighter ship.

Nevermind. I screwed that hing good. :twisted:

you've killed one? I've got all sorts of pretty good stuff and they always chase me off pretty quickly! (though my ship is probably inferior to yours- and i suck at aiming w/ missiles)

No, I just completed the system after the Arena and then came back and killed it . . . then stole its reactor and shield generator!!!

Change weapon types, that might be the problem.

whee! I've got a looted dwarg gun! lol- fun to zap my enemies. Pretty useful vs. unshielded enemies who'd normally pwn your rear off. I'm going to test it out vs. a ranx dreadnaught. (they keep messing up my armor with their nukes- time for revenge!)

Okay, random question time.

How do I beat the Charon Fortress? I note that it has Titanium Barricades.

I have a wolfen Fighter with the following:

-1 Omni-turbolaser
-1 Dual-laser [+speed]
-1 Smartcannon [500 rounds]
-1 Missile Launcher [30 Stiletto, 90 Longbow]

-1 Class III Deflector (Stolen from a Black Market Smuggler)
-1 last plate [+particle resitance] (front, 45hp)
-2 Ceralloy plates [+particle resitance] (sides, 45hp)
-1 polyceramic plate (rear, 30hp)

-1 Nova-50 reactor
-1 Solar Panel
-2 cargo expansions

What sort of strategy would you suggest for fighting this? Can I attack the spokes of the thing and skip the barricades all together? Also, same question applies to a Black Market Station, I want to steal the Howitzer without paying 100,000 for it. :twisted:
