1Gameplay - Part 1 - Human Race
Gameplay: Ok. The training is over. Now it's time for gameplay. And I shall start from Human race. When you start a game, you can choose do you want to play as a member of either Human or Scarrid race and which profession. Human professions are these: Trader, Mercenary, Bounty Hunter, Assassin, Police Officer or Scavenger. Trader is where you must buy cargo from one space station and sell at another, trader ships are weak in fight despite their large size. Mercenary is where you choose to fulfill missions or detective work, and where you can customise your ship as you start with enough money for that while also being provided with tracking scanner to allow mission targets or wanted criminals to be tracked on the map. Bounty Hunter is where you can instantly make money by being able to scan and identify criminals, and then destroy them to claim any reward as their ships are large enough to trade with and agile enough for combat. But you don't get a radar which can make it hard to locate other ships and seeking and attacking pirate ships can be inherently dangerous. Assassin is where you pilot a well armed agile attack craft with a simple tracking scanner which is all you need for simple assassination missions, and are also good couriers and delivery drivers due to their ships being fast. Police Officer is where you can identify criminals, use stun missiles to disable other sips, and a passenger scoop which allows live capture of pilots inside the spinning black-yellow lifepods, and which also allows requesting Police back-up using radio with R key. Scavenger is where you can make an instant profit by scooping small asteroids and cargo from the pods released by trading ships with a cargo scoop, allowing you to start an alternative career in trading. To dock on space station, you must scan it first by pressing B key on the keyboard, then you must open for communcation with it by pressing R key on the keyboard, and then you must press 1 to ask for docking permission, and if the permission is granted, you must go to the docking ring and press the D key to enter the space station where you can buy ships, weapons, armor, shield, missile counter measures, hyperdrive, tractor beam, look for missions etc. You can buy and pilot bigger ships too, but you will need to hire a crew as you won't be able to do everything all by yourself if you do that. When choosing missions, you must watch it's location and how much money it will award you upon completion. To get to the specific location of the map, press Spacebar key to take a look at map, then choose any location that is in range, then press H key to enter that location. When accepting assassination type of missions, you must ensure that they are neither too far away nor too difficult, as you will have lots of competiton who will try to accomplish such missions before you do.
