Hi,
The game wants me to chose profession, and maybe later on guilds and area’s where to start.
As beginner I would like info on:
-Parts of space.
*Occupation high-low
*What guild are active there? Any fights going on? Size of guilds. Activity of guilds (active players)
-Shortage of professions by solar system. A quarterly year basis is good enough.
How many players are active in this game? Do guilds fight over anything?
Personally, I would pick starting choices at random, start a base - but mostly talk to other players to learn about the game - then decide if the game is for you and what you want to start building/where you want to be - and then the command “COLIQ” lets you liquidate your current company and start a new one - many, many people do this early in the game as they decide what they want to do.
There is no combat in this game - also professions don’t mean too much in the game long-term, it just determines what you start with and a small bonus that you keep (but other bonuses swamp that in size).
Active counts I have seen are 200-350 concurrent users - this isn’t a huge game, but the people in it are helpful and like to talk about it - so the best way to learn is by doing and then you can restart where you want to be,
I picked up randomly “fuel refining”, and start was in Vallis. If you like the game, find the ways to prosper…you will move around anyway. YOu use your specialisation, to get some advantage to build your company.
You will find something else maybe…I do not know whether specialisation is any use long-term.
