Amongst other things, theres a couple of changes comin up in a few days..
1) Fighters will be treated differently.. you can only buy fighters if you have a cruiser or freighter. You can buy multiple fighters, each cruiser or freighter has a different capacity. You launch fighters from the cruiser/frieghter. If you die while in a fighter you lose the fighter.
2) Rank will be linked in to the trade system, so that items are only available when you've reached a particular rank. (As only the first couple of ranks will be available at first, that'll be restricting what you can trade for a while).
Testers needed
I've recently added some extra logging to the galaxy in order to track down occurences of lost items (for which i currently have no explanation) and to better balance the progression of trade. (It seems to me that the profit curve for higher end items needs to be flattened a bit, etc).
If anyone is able to spend a few minutes/hours doing some general space trading over the next few days, the data i'll get back will help immensely in improving the game.
Ideally, I'd like to capture the data for someone starting from fresh - 'Restart Game' on the 'escape' screen - and progressing up to a few thousands credits... as the gal will be reset soon anyway, perhaps someone active wouldnt mind trying that?
