Hi again everyone,
There's something I'm curious about. What is your favored playstyle?
Zero Falls is optimized for two different playstyles: trading and piracy. You can either optimize ships for capacity and storage and go the Han Solo space trader/smuggler route, or else you can outfit your ships with every Kill-O-Zap death beam at your disposal and blast weaker ships into oblivion.
I started a new save recently, and currently, I'm favoring piracy. Looting abandoned asteroids and space stations and selling your cargo for spare cash is all well and good, but for me the excitement in Zero Falls comes from piracy and the high-impact space battles. I'm still not far enough through the early-game to really be an effective pilot in a death match and I often pick battles that I don't end up winning, but it's still satisfying to see the other sucker explode into a thousand different particles which go flying off into the infinite black in every direction.
I'm also currently in the process of outfitting the Vulture and Eagle blueprints with extra rockets and autocannons. I'm not very good at it.
So what do you favor? Piracy or trading? Or a combination of the two?
