lucky
I, too, need a better stardrive. However, it seems I got lucky- I found an unknown world in a system accessible through the Finite Improbability Drive.

imfimp drive
Yeah, but that's the problem- you need an infimp drive. they usually cost about 170 cr. However, to make money trading you need a cargo ship, which costs 90 cr. That leaves you with 10 cr. There's not much you can do there. I think all ships should automatically be equipped with infimps, because most people have them, so it's not worth making it something you have to pay a ton to get.

Re: imfimp drive
I don't think that was his point, i think he meant that its useless having something so generally used that it should have a price. Which is kinda true but its also for new players to aim for, they will learn very quickly what its for and know how it works a while later, then they will see the benefits just in time for them to have enough cash saved to buy oneMishka wrote:Is it so hard for you to trade to make some money?onionguy92 wrote:Yeah, but that's the problem- you need an infimp drive. they usually cost about 170 cr.

The infimp is deliberately put at a 'price' because i want people to explore the game a bit before, and in order to, get to their world. a) Its part of the 'adventure' and b) it means worlds arent generally made by someone who hasn't experienced at least a little bit of the game.
Note too, that you can also get infimps for a very reasonable cost in prestige. (By trading prestige at starports on the planets). Getting enough prestige for an infimp should just be a matter of playing for a little while on a few of the starting planets - nothing too taxing, but enough to give you a few ideas about world owning & building before you go off to your own.
Least, thats the idea behind it.. :]
