Topic: Starlink: Battle for Atlas

@Grumblevolcano @AlohaPizzaJack thanks guys, that helps! I'll probably give it a spin tonight after work.

@toiletduck no problem. I think you’ll really enjoy it. And don’t worry about getting mods or money. Those will start pouring in as you progress.

@toiletduck I’ve used the default guy and ship mostly so far with the fire Gatling and a gravity shot. I wasn’t a fan of the airwing because I tend to have the strategy of bull in china shop when fighting. I have also used the ice beam and shotgun blast cannons too.

@Grumblevolcano @AlohaPizzaJack @SonicMos thanks again. I haven't been able to put too much time in it yet, but I have made the 'click' more or less now. I'm putting some hours in this to really get the story going this weekend.

For people who are interested and reading along: the character you need to level up for shared xp is Mason. To unlock 2nd tier abilities you need to spend 6 points on 1st tier abilities.

@Darknyht what do you mean with bull in China shop strategy? I'm still very early game.

@toiletduck I tend to charge in and attack without much strategy or finesse. So weapons that knock things over or freeze works best for me.

When I started the game I was more head-on, but by now in the post-game I tend to have light, fast builds. I use fast approach-heavy exit tactics now. That dogfighting outlaws in that hollow planet changed me 😂

@SonicMos Probably better to describe it as I lack patience and tend to wander into places I probably shouldn't because it is the shortest path between where I am and where I want to go. I figure I have 5 ships to burn so I will worry about defense when I loose a few.

I generally have to remind myself to use the shields when I run into the giant bad guys.

Attach the shotgun, boost damage and critical hits, then go wild. Even better if you can reduce the energy used and put a double shot perk onto it.

@SonicMos Not really needing help, just was pointing out my strategy for weapon selection to toiletduck. I am not really in a hurry to beat the game as it is one that I play when I am traveling and offline. Currently working on a hostile takeover of all the system's planets to build giant towers that will better harness my enslaved population's power to destroy my enemies. (Generally what I am doing, but I stopped paying attention to Ubisoft's story a long time ago. In my version I am on a quest to conquer everything to save the universe from themselves.)

Sadly I never got this game. It was a game I probably should have not watched any videos on and just bought it. I watched videos and I didn’t like some things I saw.

Looks pretty cool.

The update is available now, fyi. (7^_^)7

@FattyWhale_42 thanks for the heads up!!

@AlohaPizzaJack No problem. (>^_^)>

It took a little more than an hour to download, but YMMV of course.

@FattyWhale_42 Not bad. I’m cooking and watching Night of the Living Dead (1990), but I made sure it started 😂

Is there a free update and paid content? I’m still confused a bit

@AlohaPizzaJack The new pilots, ships, weapons and Star Fox content are paid DLC meanwhile the rest of the content is free.

@Grumblevolcano Thanks Grumbles! Is that paid content available in one transaction item? And is it under $15usd?

Wow, $76 AUD for this new DLC and that doesnt include the Star Fox pilots either. Yeahhh no thanks, ill just use my gold points no matter how long it takes.

@GeeEmm Wait, I thought Starfox dlc was $12. Where is the other cost coming from

@AlohaPizzaJack

So there is a pack which comes with the three Star Fox pilots that costs $17.95 AUD then there is also a 2nd DLC bundle which comes with the new Starlink pilots, ships and weapons that costs $75.95 AUD, which doesn't include the Star Fox pilots.
You can buy the stuff in the bundle separately as well.
But it just seems like a lot of money for very little. I'd expect to pay that if they were the physical toys but digital downloads...come on.
