Probably the most clearly and concisely explained tutorial on this game on KZfaq. Other guides make the game way too complicated.

Excellent tutorial. Had the game for years. The complexity has always overwhelmed me to the point where I switch off and don't play again. Watching this video has renewed my interest and taught me key fundamentals to enable me to enjoy and know what I'm doing. Spot on looking forward to playing now 👍

IMHO this is an excellent guide. Zero BS. Max info per minute. Great presentation. Excellent script. If like me you've tried this game a bit and are still bemused about what half the stuff in it does and why you are getting your arse handed to you all the time I guarantee you will be glued to this video for the full 60 minutes duration. Essential viewing for the Star Trader noob.

Others have said it, but it bears repeating: this is *the best* guide or tutorial for this game on KZfaq. Or anywhere else for that matter. The writing is tight and engaging; the presentation is broadcast standard for video, graphics and editing; the narration is smooth and personable. Bloody brilliant. I can't help but wonder if you are, or have been a teacher, professor or instructor. Or have performed as a VO announcer or voice actor. *Like* and *Subscribe* goes without saying. Content creators like you are the sole reason I continue with KZfaq.

Get out of my head ColorsFade! I saw this first thing Friday after completing my Kerensky BattleTech achievement and after binge-watching Firefly last weekend... So Saturday and Sunday was spent trying to figure out this game. I love that the ship is configurable, your character is configurable, your crew is configurable... there are so many interesting decisions and ways you can build synergies. What are the best Jobs for your Captain? What 2nd Job best synergizes with Smuggler for my Captain? What are the best Jobs for your Officers? What 2nd Job best synergizes with Swordsman for my combat officer? These are examples of the hundreds of questions I have after playing this game all weekend.

Seriously... 1: Excellent choices on content and order presented. It can be difficult to 'know' when a topic should be considered a subtopic, and there could be many good ways to do so, your choices seem to reflect how a new player might need to associate them. 2: 10 out of 10 on presentation. Are you an (ex)Toastmaster? Do you use a script? Do you do a lot of editing? No 'ands', 'ums', pregnant pauses, etc. And your voicing is excellent. Usually videos over 30 minutes don't get fully watched or have a lot of right arrow presses. This video was watched fully without any skips. Massively good job. I have subscribed without even knowing if you have done others. And thank you for the effort. It truly is appreciated.

@ColorsFadeGaming Жыл бұрын

Thanks Quantum! Great comment! I am not a Toastmaster, but my father was. He had to work at being a good public speaker. Unlike him, I've always enjoyed it. To answer your question, yes, I typically do script out my tutorials. I spend a lot of time writing, editing, and rearranging before I put my voice to a mic. But even still, eliminating verbal crutches is something I try really hard to do. You'll notice a lack of those on my Let's Play series as well, which are not scripted by any means. Verbal crutches have always annoyed me, so I work hard to present a clean audio experience. Glad you liked it!

48:57 Yes, many of the cards do have negative consequences, those can easily be mitigated by Talents but most importantly, they still generate XP for the crew. Just wanted to point that out as combat and missions are not the only way your crew acquires XP.

Thanks for the video. Its a really nice guide for a very nice game. The wiki says that you can only gain upto 100% of your crew die during combat. According to that, going over 100% should not help combat. Am I getting something wrong.

@ColorsFadeGaming Жыл бұрын

Crew combat and ship combat are different things.

@saltcheese Жыл бұрын

@@ColorsFadeGaming Yes. You mention them for ship combat @ around 23:40

@ColorsFadeGaming Жыл бұрын

@@saltcheese The wiki is a little bit confusing on this. It's 200%. If you read further down, you come to this part: "OVERSTAFFED: If your Ship requires 15 Pilot and your Crew provides 30 Pilot Skill Pool, then you have reached the maximum number of pilots who can assist in using the controls effectively. Adding more Pilot Skill Pool will not grant you any additional dice. The maximum Ship Skill Pool you can roll is twice that of the demand of your ship's components requirement for the Skill. Therefore, with 15 Pilot demanded by your ship, 30 is the maximum number of dice you can possibly roll. Therefore, if your ship requires 15 Pilot (therefore, 15 Strong Dice), the maximum number of Standard Dice you can roll is 15 as well. Exceeding 30/15 in Pilot Skill Pool is a waste of Skill points which are not being translated into dice. The exact same dice will be rolled if you have 35/15 compared to having 30/15. In this case, you are better off adding more components that require Pilot, so that you can shift back into the optimal range." 15/15 would be 100% 30/15 is 200%, and that's the point when you stop getting any more extra dice rolls.
