After getting the N.R. I advanced the plot up to the point where you would do the race. I have not advanced the main plot since.
Shortly before getting the mission to go to the race sector, the auction for Avarice began.
Capping pirate ships in the N.R. I earned enough money to buy a Silicon Large (64 point asteroid in Ore Belt), 3 Lasertowers for mine defense, 2 Demeter transports to provide energy and sell the silicon wafers. This took place maybe 1 day before the Avarice auction started.
By the time the auction ended, I had gathered maybe 55 mil total credits, most of which were spent completing the Bala Gi's missions, as well as setting up a rather odd complex consisting of 2 microchip plants and 2 spacefuel Large plants, plus the 5 medium wheat farms, 1 cattle ranch M, and 1 bakery M needed for the raw materials....basically I produced everything but the energy cells required for everything. That factory complex produces about 450k credits per hour just from NPC ships buying the chips and booze, but requires a fleet to keep it supplied with energy
I have 2 questions regarding this scenario:
1. Is it normal to have the Avarice auction start so early into a game? I had barely 5-6 hours in when it started, and the auction ended about 15-20 hours into the game.
2. Will it make any difference at all that I don't own Avarice, even though I have been building a few things there (like my HQ)?
Other than the Bonus pack, and Fud's asteroid creator mod, I have no other mods installed.
Oh, I guess I have a 3rd question too: What happens if you are the one who wins the bid for Avarice?
im probably waffling on a bit now but who cares just wondered can the whole plot be done in the starting buster cos im still in it so far and would like to finish the plot in it.
