Re: Game mechanics — how does it work? Comments

(valid for version 0.98.71 and, please, correct me on wrong matters)
Well, hehe, since you poked the sleeping dragon and information about all exact skill effects is vague, scarce and vastly scattered:

per point into navigation:
- about 2,103% shorter travel time (ca. 4,49 times worth mech 1 with a ...

Re: Game mechanics — how does it work? Comments

Wow - that's quite a revelation for me!
I thought I could spend more than 11 hard points into an attribute so far - and would be effectively capped only on certain matters (as e.g. said police controls) whereas could still buff others.
That shifts strategies quite a lot as it is most important now ...

Re: Game mechanics — how does it work? Comments

The shown tables for navigation, luck and smuggling end at Level 11.
Does that mean that 11 invested points in a certain skill is the cap and effective maximum (only for these given matters, of course)?
And, if it's not the cap, how and up to which point do they advance?
Last but not least and big ...

Re: WinUAE Configuration

I already have this configuration since this is already the one you posted in your screenshots above.
So it seems that your definition of "hyper speed" is mine of "hyper hyper speed" and yours of "normal speed" matches mine of "hyper speed". :lol:
Well, I suppose I could emulate a very slow and ...

Re: WinUAE Configuration

Great one! Thanks a lot!
Is there any parameter in the WinUAE configuration that can be altered to effectively slow down the speed of navigation at sea?
I feel like navigating at hyper speed at sea after you optimized the code (quite a long time ago).
This way it's very hard to execute pinpointed ...

Re: Collective thread about useful infos, tips and know how

Sorry for my quite delayed response!
Yes, that's a good compromise for "decaying friendships"!
And it's a good way to add "friendly and hostile NPCs" to the all-time achievements, so they may function as another type of "b-grade".
But - reluctantly spoken as the devil's advocate - this hints out ...

Re: Collective thread about useful infos, tips and know how

Thank you for your early announcement to wake this part of the game from its long-time slumber, Piotr!
But I fear for quite grave balancing problems.
Interactions with and befriending of NPCs in bars are very nice and satisfying and meaningful at the beginning of the game, but just after a while it ...

Re: Collective thread about useful infos, tips and know how

Well, quite a bit outdated, but for all other players who are also confused on these matters (validated up to version 0.98.52):

There are (apart from the most obvious "level caps") "reputation caps" and "attitude caps" for NPCs; think of them as gatekeepers for certain stages of progression.
If ...
