How are you going to play Trent?

Just curious how some of you plan on playing the single player game.

I want to be bad and do some smuggling, but I also like to idea of hunting bounties with a big, heavy fighter. The great thing is, I can probably do both for a little while to see what I like best. I'll probably wimp out and do things "the law way". I do that in most RPG's because I'm always afraid of ruining the game or the story, by being bad or evil. It seems like your options are always limited when you want to be bad.

Actually, I think I might just play two different games. One as a goody-goody trader/bounty hunter, and the other as a ruthless pirate/smuggler.

What do you plan to do?

I´m going to play as a nice trader right from start, but i plan to swith to smugler after some time (after getting better ship and shields). Of course, after that, i´m going to start a new game as a pirate. Actually, i´m going to play every way I can!!! That´s what I did on Elite, Privateer and Space Trader (Palm OS)...

Holt.. You can play whatever way you like... And change paths in the middle of the game....
Thats actually what makes the game so much fun...
It can be a challenge to convince the military to allow you to work for them, if you are known to work for piratefactions...

-------> When playing is taken seriously...

I'll do a little bit of everything

"God bless this acid house!"

SpaceTrader for Palm!

I played the hell out of that. Never thought such a simple, cheesy game could be so much fun. My high score : Claimed moon in 259 days, with a worth of 1,133,538 credits. Score of 126%. Played as a trader for the most part. I guess the new updates give you more money for bountys so you can make a worthwhile career as a bounty hunter, too.

"Stand & Deliver" ring a bell?

Should be the "offical" line for all pirate-wanna-be's in MP

Seriously, i'm keen on exploring. I usually never do that much 8( In IWAR2 i was too lazy and usually just rushed through the missions to get the better ship, once i had that. I roamed a bit.

I think i'll do a methodical survay of every system i get to and level up as much as i can. As for MP, definetly either pirate or bounty hunter

depends where the money's in

So keep an eye out for me, and when yo do here "Stand & Deliver" over the comms....may i suggest you drop your cargo and run?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

Im gonna be rich, money is everything

I will need a big powerful freighter (do I hear Humpback?) for all of my stuff.
