Packed full of features, Star Traders RPG provides more than 80 unique starcraft, 40-plus planets to explore, and a plethora of enemies to battle, pillage, and enslave.Vivid and simple user interfaceIn the midst of a solar war with a constant enemy presence, your challenge in Star Traders RPG Elite is survival. In order to keep your ship flying these unfriendly skies, you need to maintain healthy supply levels. The only problem is that these are far from cheap in intergalactic space. In order to keep your ship stocked up–including food, water, and medical supplies–you must earn some cash.The Nitty GrittyTo acquire the necessary ducats for supplies, accept and complete contracts from different factions. Upon successfully completing a contract, your reputation grows and you earn better treatment in that faction’s urban zones. This means you can fly through their controlled airspace without worry of reprisal. Not only do you become Captain Popular, you’ll also earn money that can buy delicious treats for your crew.Load up on essentials and other amenitiesSometimes you fail to complete a contract on time, can’t find a contract worth pursuing, or simply need some extra moolah between contracts. A life of crime isn’t for everybody, but out in the galactic darkness of vast space it’s often the only way to put food on the table. Hijacking other spacecraft can be pretty rewarding, but before you start picking fights in space you’d best learn a thing or two about your enemies. Full descriptions are available for the Great Houses and Syndicates you’re likely to encounter on your journey.Reputations RuleReputation is the name of the game in space. Who knew? Steer clear of engaging in battle with other factions. Fighting with them destroys your chances of obtaining any future with them. With factions it is best to resolve issues peacefully, because you never know when you’ll need a contract that they administer. If pirates try to take your ship, you’ll have to flee or fight. If you surrender, the pirates will tear your ship and crew to bits.Along the way, pay close attention to your water and food supplies. If they get too low, your crew will mutiny, and there’s no telling what they’ll do to you. Bribing is always an option during tough times, but your money will eventually run out. Mutinies often result in captain injuries and take a major toll on your health.As the captain of a struggling spaceship, you’re tasked with maintaining a happy, healthy ship and crew as you journey into the vast unknown. Your command is under constant threat–both internally and externally. Can you manage your resources, crew, and officers well to enough to turn a profit on your contracts and trades? Do you have tons of time to find out? You’ll never run out of challenges in this game.If you enjoy games like EVE Online, Space Trader, Master of Orion, and Pirates!, Star Traders RPG Elite is bound to challenge you with hours of engrossing gameplay.Pick your battles carefullyGameplay OptionsGame LevelsBasic, Normal, Challenging, Demanding, Hard, Crazy, Insane, and ImpossibleProfessionsStar Trader, Merchant, Smuggler, Pirate, Bounty Hunter, Military Officer, Explorer, Captain, Spy, and ZealotFactionsDe Valtos Syndicate, Cadar Syndicate, Syndicate Tychart, House Thulun, Clan Javat, and Steel Song ClanShipsVae Victus, Aperio Caliga, Neutiquam Erro, Serpent Tooth, Picky Beggar, and Tempus Fugitfrom GeekExile: Free App of the Day from Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SCN2F6/ref=mas_fad_tp
