SPOILER; Question about plots and starts

[ZX9000]

Does all starts have the same plots theoretically available? Except the custom start I would guess.

Can you get the

, but vary about putting too much time into it if I can't access the aforementioned, as it's a pathway to many shenanigans (some consider to be unnatural).

[Meister4000]

Yep, it's there.

[ZX9000]

Thanks. Third try now getting to safety (I hope), so not too far into it

[Crux_72]

So, I (of course) started the main story start (Farnham's Legacy), but I'n not very far yet. The question I have is: how different are the sandbox starts? Specifically, the question I have is whether I should continue after completing the story plot or can I start a fresh sandbox start (I'm particulary interested in the X-Tream start ) without me missing anyting despite the main plot?

[ZX9000]

I too would like to hear from someone who has played well into a sandbox start. I've gotten to safety and managed to scrape up some cash, and I will be able to claw myself up to better ships, but I have no idea how to get the special equipment from the starting plot or get to that area from the "outside" (main universe).

The main plot is not in the sandbox starts. These starts basically start after the plot would have completed.

However there's nothing in the plot that that you can't get in the sandbox starts

[ZX9000]

So by the main plot, you mean the one where you get to access the universe proper, with the "gas station"? I liked that plot, especially with the choice at the end Looking forward to being able to use it at it's full potential later on.

I just saw some people describing a

elsewhere, and thought maybe there was a few plotlines like in AP as well. But I'll just fly around and explore a while, just threatened some miners to hand me a million spacebucks by pointing some fingerguns at them from my harrier, so I'm doing well

Okay, thanks for the clarification.
Then I will finish the main plot and then start a new game

I assume the end of the main plot is obvious, by some kind of final message or achievement or something? Just not that I 'break off' too soon

[ZX9000]

I played up to a very obvious end point from a standard start, not sure if anything more would happen after but the buildup and conclusion was impossible to miss.

Does anyone know, by the way, where I can find a Low Frequency Locator when not given one at the start?
