Eternity Port is hard

[Blind]

There's lots of early money, but tech levels are low in every direction. Most faction behemoths are too much.

If I find another omni-turbo I might just detour to Sung space instead of doing the interior quest line.

Wait... did I win?

I defeated failsafe and got the cool with the lasers, and then I wasn't paying attention ('cuz lasers) and then I looted about a million data cubes I can't use since the CPU isn't a QUANTUM CPU. (which I lost to, y'know, teach it things)

Or is this, like, the half-way point?

If it was the end, is my goal now just to rack up score? 'Cuz I'm ok with that.

It's not the end if you haven't (Spoiler) defeated luminous.

But after that, you rack up score, do the missions for the earth factions (the APD and ED questlines are finished but a little buggy...the NAU and UAS aren't 100% complete yet) or go back to Eternity Port and go join the computer-people.

So, ya - I WON - yay! No wonder it seemed hard, it's 'cuz the game is shorter and I was actually close to the end several times.

The Korolov/Black Market missions are a little wonky, too - in the sense that they are almost never offered.

I guess I'll fly to Terminus and see what the CSC is up to.

korolov missions seem to be related to the cargo ships currently docked at it?

[InimitableSong]

Indeed: You can only get a korolov escort mission if there's a freighter of a level you can escort docked to it....that you haven't turned down a mission for. The game does replace freighters over time, but it's a bit slow.

As for Black Market missions....I honestly have no idea how those work.

currently trolling through my first playthrough of CC with the drone ship, so no smugglers crgo hold for me, although I've never figured out how to talk to the blck market station boss.

[A Fish]

oh man, is that drone ship useless or what? haha drones need some love, fo sho yo.

First playthrough of EP, sided with the ED (particle folks), totally jealous of the APD missiles, I've been blown away sooo many times attempting that "destroy their base before they destroy that flagship" mission. Those missile salvos can even take down a Lazarus....

At this point, it's not about score anymore haha

7 years later and I have absolutely no memory of playing Port Eternity... time to do it again

Found this topic cuz I was searching to find out what the deal with the Terminus system is since it has nothing in it except some Dreaming Nomads (which print money)
