RFE 1.6...do I need a new game?

[Spaghettioz]

Started early in to 1.5 and got a fair ways on. But updates and new stuff keeps coming. I dont see the character class thing in my IDA either but others do.

By now, should I just save all my current craft and gear and just start a new game?

If your game isn't crashing... I'd vote no, go ahead and stick with what you got and maybe wait for the next big update later in the year.

Would be a wise move to backup all your craft blueprints now though. Just in case your save does crash for some reason.

We started our newest RE with 1.5, too, and no problem to choose a character class. There is no own PDA entry for it, you can find it under single player missions.

Spanj just the character class today and he has not restarted a new game in quite awhile. Playing RFE. He had overlooked it in the missions tab, it is in white [Character Class system] at the bottom of the first list of missions.

Multiplayer gets updated missions but single player does not.

Yah in SP presently. No updated missions lol.

Okay I'll give it a few days more, save all my current toys, and restart. But, I will be better equipped to face the early challenges to get back to my current state. Was just about to mob prog space for more tech lol. I got a TON of dark matter pods now.

But for the life of me I cannot loot an enhanced drill :P

You don't need to start a new game. Nothing in v1.6 that would break v1.5 saved games.

Of course, your old saved game won't get any new v1.6 stuff in playfields you've already visited (e.g. campaign story, various POIs, etc.) but if that's no problem for you then it's all fine.
