Neponde Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hey! I am considering starting up again. I loved the game pre sunset, but didn't get the opportunity to get far. I've dabbled in the emulator a few times, but not a ton. My time to play would be extraordinarily limited, and I know nothing of later game play. Chances are I'll be alone for most of my play time, though if there is ways to connect with others easily (via a guild or something) would love to possibly get plugged in. It may be some time before I can begin, we have no internet where I live right now. What's some people's favorite classes to roll with, and why? Pre sunset, I dabbled with JE, PW, and to a limited extent, TE. Never crested level 50 (if I recall correctly.) I enjoyed both combat and exploring. I'm not as interested in min/maxing, as I doubt I'll have time to even get one character to max level. Convince me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock HGM [HGM] Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 The JE is one of the easiest to start with. I have several of each of the nine professions. A easy solo player avatar can have a lot of fun in game. I am mostly solo or a group of my own tools. Most of the time. Right now I have been playing the Terran Scout (TS) a missile capable explorer class with great speed and the nullfactor shield that helps with the radiation damage and gravity well effects when its at maximum. Which makes it a descent trader especially with a Polar Express engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugpot Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 So the nullfactor is worth the points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodstock HGM [HGM] Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Yes it is an essential skill for the TS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neponde Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 After browsing around for a while, and remembering a few things from about 19 years ago (I can't believe it was that long since I stopped.. I had to stop pre-sunset), I have decided on a PW for a main toon. It fits my style the most. I have found a few posts here and there for some basic guides, which have been helpful. Now that it looks like I can play with mobile data, I hope to be able to get setup in the next couple weeks. Thanks Woodstock for your contribution. I am looking to mostly just play and enjoy the game, though I know there will be 'grinding' involved. That said, are there are handful of things that would make my life much easier / more enjoyable? Assume I know nothing.. it really has been that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do some more experimenting to see what i can do though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordo Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Really enjoying my Terran Scout toon JamisaTS. Great solo class and also a good addition in group hunts. Agree with the others who say Nullfaactor and Afterburn are to be maxed as quickly as possible. One of the best things I experienced was getting the Cygni Express but it seems that mission is no longer available. ? At any rate, there are some truly awesome folks playing, enjoy! ?

Woodstock HGM [HGM] Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Cygni express available through the terran lvl 30 hull upgrade mission, optional mission for the TS after the TS hu Mission, yes it is worth doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1ndex Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Is it possible to rollback or unskill in something? I tried to find an answer in wiki/forums/net but haven't had much luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock HGM [HGM] Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 the Progen Sentinel have a skill they can use on themselves and others called "Call Forward" that can respec skill points used on shills the basic skills are exempt from this skill. it requires the recipient to have a specific device to be installed ( this device is available from NPC Calliope Gans on Arx Spartoi in Endriago Sector of the Gallina System. you must buy the device (non Manufacturable) for the level of the skill being call forwarded. Reactor, Shield, Engine can not be recalled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
