Re: Starts, and the Unlocking Therein
No, it isn't the Xenon start--a "Lar" is one of the three Boron sexes, and you're in a Boron ship, so it's pretty obviously a Boron start. You're just very, very, VERY lost.eldarmark wrote:Start Sector: Xenon Core 023

Tormented Teladi appears to be either high Teladi rep or a certain trade rank.
Side note: The unlockable Argon, Boron and Split starts don't need all that much rep (around police license level, I think).
EDIT:
Unholy Traitor showed up when I hit Privileged Associate of Rhonkar.
Not sure about Teladi Trafficker, but I think it unlocked at either Company Owner rep or Broker rank.
Goner Witness - complete the Goner plot.

There must be something about the Boron start I'm missing then, as I have King's Knight (3rd from highest) Boron Rep now and when quitting the game to go to bed tonight, I discovered there are still no starts with Boron as a race available to me.
I have a ton of money, decent trade rank, great warfare rank, and high rep with everyone except the Goners. So.... Yeah....
Gonna keep trying to raise Boron rep. Maybe I have too much Split rep.

Tormented Teladi starts in a random sector in the area of Grand Exchange.
After fiddling with the registry to get all of them, I don't have a Yaki start (but have all the rest on the list except the Xenon start, which seems to be a rumour but nothing more). And in this thread:

Though possibly there are more starts and the registry-adjustment doesn't reveal them all (how to is explained in the thread linked above).Graphil wrote:Just to confirm the Yaki gamestart was removed just prior to release and there unfortunately wasn't time to reflect this in the manual.

Finally the thread I've been looking for.
When I becoma Company Owner, I unlocked Teladi Trafficker. It starts with a Vulture and 12693 credits in Seizewell.
I also heard there's a Paranid start in Hyperion Vanguard. Probably needs highest or next to highest Paranid rank.
The start when you being in a Boron TP in the middle of a Xenon sector isn't a Xenon start, you start a Boron and this is one of the most traumatic starts out there.
And by the way, Tormented Teladi starts with a mission to gather 2,5 million credits in two hours. If he does that, he will get a fully equipped Kea as a reward. Kind of worth mentioning.
