[HACK] Bonus Start Unlocker :: 14.01.06

Good work.

But, could someone explain to me what the real differences are? The early game might be a little different, but isnt' it possible to get back in good graces with everyone anyway? And being dirt poor just means a little more time trading energy, right?

[Stevio]

you are technically not kha'ak and race rep is enabled so your rep can go up and down

i suppose you just have a long pirate bashing session may take all day though

[Whismerhill]

as a khaak are you friend with other khaak ?
in that case couldn't you teleport to khaak stations ? (if it ever exist, I don't know)

no xenon starting position ? that's a shame

[mode xenon=on] you are the xenon central AI. As such you have to manage all xenon fleets and take over the universe
[mode xenon=off]

Kha'ak invader is alright. a Fighter and 5 Scouts

the only hard bit is saving, you can't dock, no salvage insurance.

Well yeah, that's why it's considered hard. On a scale from 1 (easy) to 10 (hard), I'd say all the others are 1 and the Khhak one is 10. Playing a game without saving means perma-death when you die!

You can dock and save in Pirate bases from the Khaark starting game. I've now reached Boron Accepted Friend by dint of some determined Split basing in Atrius Clouds. I also have a small fleet of captured frieghters and enough money to buy a factory in a few more games hours. Then I have to work on getting a jump drive, no luck capturing one, though I've got a Transporter now and lots of weaponry. Hard work when everyone hates you

I'm considering setting up a Khaark colony in the pirate sectors

The Boron/Kha'ak peace accord has been signed in Kingdom's End!

Samething you did earlier, kill Paranid ships in Argon sectors, then buy a jump drive from TerraCorp HQ

[karne]

Yeah that's the obvious option but it's very tedious, I'm considering putting a cheap base/saving point in Eighteen Billion and shooting Xenon on the Teladi and Argon borders. Combined with the cross-race bonuses you get from assassination missions this may be enough. The alternative would be a carefully placed factory with prices low enough the Argon will buy

[Stevio]

putting a station with strategically low prices in their sectors is a good idea

*Depending on Rep*

but i can't escape the feeling that the station will end up Destroyed

if your rep is really bad it is probably worth waitng until you are Argon suspected foe and Teladi profit liability

i think these are the reps with argon and teladi when you are no longer classed as foe [not sure i have never gone this low with these races]
"then your stations should be safe"
