Stuck on Level 8

I'm stuck on Level 8, apparently I need about 58500 credits to progress and when my current worth went over it I was dissapointed but when my bank balance went over that I was gutted. I fear my save game is corrupted or something but I'm hoping I've missed some relic/plot/mission. The last plot (as I remember) was when I had to leave Liberty with that lass to aviod the Rozzers and when we got to brittania we split up. Since then no plot or anything. I've got to Omegas 1 3 and 7 (or something) and only one of them is survivable.

Sorry about my vagueness if you need me to get any more details I'd be only too happy. Ta

Keep flying around and making money and Juni will eventually call you.

p.s. Beware of those border world systems until you are in a good ship and can handle yourself. The bad guys are nasty out there!

Try selling something or buying something. Often that will snap the game back into motion.

If it's not the Cardamine that's talking, it's the Synth Paste™.

Ta very much, BTW I have a Crusader heavy fighter, Heavy thrusters, Class 3 Shield, 4 x Angeliko guns 1 x sweeper sissile and 1 x something class 4 that matches the Angelikos for shot velocity. About 150K in the bank and after some soothesaying I am waiting for Mission 5 to start.

Presumably my level should have gone up when my current worth reached 58K not when my bank balance got to 58K, just outta curiosity?

I did do a search on these forums and found many ppl (mostly who had already completed the story missions) who got stuck on a level and were advised to buy/sell stuff so I'll give that a go... Presumably I do actually need to make a profit on these deals?

Ta for your comments

I had this problem a lot recently. Upon starting up a new game i had all sorts of skipping problems, where the characters would say things when they had to, and Juni wouldnt call me, etc. The only solution to it i found is to re-load autosaves.

But if your trying to decrease your net worth, buy a full cargo hold full of the most expensive thing you can find, and then just jettison it into space. Buying guns wont help because it still includes that in your net worth, for the original purchase price.

Buying guns can help since everything is counted at resale value for calculating net worth. 30% of purchase price for equipment (including guns), 80% for ship hulls and 100% for ammo. Commodities are counted at a fixed 'nominal price' that can be lower or higher than the actual price the commodity fetches at your current location. You can see the nominal price in-game - it is the price a commodity fetches at a base that does not trade this commodity (this can be higher than the price at a nearby base that does trade this commodity!).

From what I've seen the 'stuck-level' bug has only hit people who applied the server patch to their game, and there seems to be no reliable way to get the game unstuck until the patch has been removed by doing a clean install (remember to back up all your savegames and the multiplayer id). After reinstalling load the latest savegame and do a trade transaction or fly a mission.

Sherlog is correct. If you have applied the patch then re-install FL. You don't need to go thru the hassel of uninstalling, just re-install and make sure you back-up your saved games. You are given the option to delete them but just to be safe.

I had the same problem and it was at level 8. As soon as you have re-installed, just buy something, a commodity is what I did, and you should level up. No problems with the game after that.

The patch is only for people who are running servers anyhow.

Yes but silly me, always wanting to have the latest drivers/patches etc....

Could well be about the time I applied the patch too. will give it a go now, ta

SHWEET! Yep, reinstall worked nicely. Ran one quick mission and was contacted by Juni and level 9 etc.

Many thanks all
