Challenge: Start Anew

I just had to do this without knowing about the challenge, starting playing on my bf’s computer while mine was sitting in a dry place with it’s battery out after a run in with a water glass and a cat (it’s fine, luckily) and it turns out that about half my problems with the game on none whole were due to my crappy old computer not the game itself. I had thought my frame rate went from ok to once in a while bad, but as it turns out, it was going from bad to terrible. I suddenly understand that things like “maneuvering” and “flanking” in combat are actually possible, where previously my turn radius of about 4 inches on a good day and the full legnth of the screen on a bad day would allow no strategy more complex than full speed reverse. Also it is now possible to pull into ports without a three point turn! Marvels upon marvels. Nevertheless my first character had a pretty early run in with a lifeberg and didn’t last long, but the second one was fun. I miss having multiple guns on the first ship. It takes way too long to save up for a new one and one gun combat just isn’t as fun. More one-time ways to get money early on would help though.
