Star Fury Question, Ask Away

[narf poit chez BOOM]

what's the biggest fleet battle you've seen, and can we get pictures, if any?

also, are there randomly generated missions? can you just wander around without having to worry about a central storyline?

yes, there are random missions and you can move freely and ignore the story if you wish.

Thanks for the replies. I probably will get this game but only after I get a new laptop in December. I'm planning on getting the new Dell Inspiron 8600.

In the meantime:

1) Is the universe dynamic? Do you have different reputation levels with different factions? Do the power levels of difference factions change as a result of your actions?

2) Can you visit the surface of planets and moons or is it all space? Are planets and moons 3-D objects at all or just background graphics?

3) People mention experience. Is that your personal experience or your ship's experience?

4) Do you hire crews for big ships?

For your first question, it's not that deep. However, I think there is some of that in dealing with pirates. It's not something I've really looked at though.

You can't go on the surface, but some planets have "facilities" like spacedocks or trading unions that you sort of visit. The planets are actually 3d objects although they are small in relative scale (i.e. sort of bigger than your ship, but it's not intended to be a true scale anyways).

Experience applies to your ship's abilities and your rank.

No hiring of crews.

Is the Quadrant map the same each time you play? Is there a random quadrant map generator for mod makers, or do all the systems and planets need to be input by hand?

What is the average/maximum poly count suggested for ship models?

[Wydraz]

what size are race/npc portraits?
