This annoyance with the trading system is balanced out with the non-trading activities you can participate in. YouвЂ™d think that weвЂ™d figure out some better way to handle market info after solving FTL travelвЂ¦ You get a tiny line of text about how вЂtwo weeks ago this was X at yвЂ™ when you mouse over the good at a market. However, once you leave a planet вЂ“ almost nothing. While youвЂ™re on planet, you get some truly beautiful information screens, showing you what the world produces and consumes, and how much overage it has. The information flow they give you on planets is a bit of a double edged sword. Now in theory you can try and do things like destabilize trade routes and factions to mess with the flow of goods, but I was never able to see that in action. Now find a system that consumes the good, and sell it. Find a system that produces a good and buy it. Trading in this game works like it has in every space game since Elite. On the other side of the coin, even if all you want is to blow stuff up, youвЂ™ll need the occasional cash infusion for your fleet, and some of the survey and trade missions are really lucrative. The pirate factions in this game are very aggressive, so you will have run-ins with them as a trader/surveyor. Regardless of which path you want to focus on, you will be doing a little bit of both. In general, youвЂ™ve got two main approaches to the game: Blow stuff up, or trade and salvage stuff. The crux of Starsector is this formula: fly around with your highly customizable fleet, explore, build stuff, blow stuff up, advance your character. You will explore aВ procedurally generated sector of the galaxy, seeded with well-known core worlds and factions.В Your character can be shaped however you choose, as you explore the universe and outfit your ship to customize your playstyle. For over 200 cycles, humanity has been losing its grip on civilization and struggling desperately to hang on to what is left.В The game is a single player, gritty, dystopian sci-fi setting with classic top down gameplay. The story of Starsector concerns a dense region of space in the Perseus Arm left relatively unharmed by a calamity that destroyed the Domain.
