Title: Pulsar tactics
Post by: Galatoni on July 01, 2017, 12:37:56 PM
Firstly, a guide http://forums.pulsarthegame.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2603

After a pretty doomed (few) outings last night. Me and Lib managed to figure out quite a bit.

Firstly. The host can save. Simple but useful.

Secondly, bots can only be assigned by the captain. Bots are useful but a player is better.

Missions are optional. We picked up four last night that were offered to us. And they were much easier than anything else. Also they granted neat loot. All we had to do is travel through blue systems which were mostly friendly. The only combat one we against an ancient cargo ship. Easy.

The research ship should avoid combat... Badly! If it's the starting ship the team can upgrade by capturing another ship later. But that should be after they've got loads of upgrades.

Me too, enjoyed the first mission we did last night, nice and easy and helped us understand/work out what our roles were.  I really like the team play this game seems to offer.

I did a quick run with sneaky. Managed to destroy a ship with just two of us.

Has anyone found a particular role they're happy with? They vary greatly but it's probably the engineer that's the most boring. But every role is important.

Not wanting to suck all the fun out of it or anything. I honestly don't mind any role. Has everyone had chance to read the manual? This game could really use a tutorial. Badly.

It makes me laugh that they're red shirts too. Perfect for you.

I definitely think people should try and have a read up. The other classes are mostly self explanatory, except the Science guy and engineer - they're quite tricky! I should probably note; that doesn't mean the other classes are easy!! They're most assuredly not!

I'm not certain that everyone enjoyed themselves. It's a really unforgiving game. Been reading some posts saying that the Devs are aware of some balancing issues. However. There are a number of other ships and most of them have a more balanced weapon loadout.... And one of the ships is absolutely massive!!
