A few question from new player

[Highspeedpixels]

Hi, just as the title suggest, I've got a few thing to ask - if it is spoiler-ish, don't spoil it please:

1. Is there a way to Re-Spec your stats? I can always re-hire merc but I can't really make a new "hero" from scratch. I might be overly worried about correct stat allocation though.

2. I reached the first space station; where do I go? I had a shady merchant quest, FTL drive quest, and the (what appears to be) random dungeon thing.

I just happen to choose to pursue the latter first, because I thought it was a randomly generated quest (we have those in the game, right?) and I want to have a taste of that - or am I mistaken and it is pretty much that random dungeon for "quest" instead of from people in stations?

However, it seems a bit tough and I need to find better gear and party member, so I might need some easier quest to get a head start - hence why I am asking about this.

3. How does merchant restock work? Do they restock? Similarly, what about respawn? Does it work via timer or in game time/day?

Thanks!

A few answers below. Welcome to Stellar Tactics:

1) There is no respec at this time. It's on my list to look into. For now, you can pick a focus and put stats into that.

Melee = STR, AGI and DEX
Ranged = DEX, PER and AGI
INT has an effect on the speed at which you level.

2) I suggest doing the FTL quest first, then the facility where you can take missions and every time you take a new mission, the entire dungeon gets reset. There are infinite random missions once you get your FTL drive. Every station in the universe has a faction agent that issues them. Once you complete the FTL mission, that is the end of the story for now -however, you can continue to play the sandbox as long as you like.

You can also adjust the difficulty level down in the options until you have better gear from the facility and the FTL quest line.

3) Merchants restock every time you enter the station (or reload a save game). There are no respawns in the game other than in the facility when you take a new mission. The universe is so large that you could play for the next 90 years and not run out of missions ;) Agents just keep generating them.

Excellent, thank you for the clarification!

One more thing, about the upcoming crafting, should I keep the "junk" item? Are they part of the crafting system? I tried sell all junk option, thinking it'd sell all in my inventory (but not stash) - but it sell those item in both.

[Stellar Tactics]

I'd say sell them for now. You will always get a good bit of junk from ground missions. When crafting goes in the game, junk, weapons, armor, mods etc. can all be broken down into components for crafting. For now, junk will just clutter your inventory. Selling all junk will sell it all - even the items in your stash.

All right, thanks a lot. Enjoying the game a lot so far.
