And despite having 250 tonnes for cargo space I no longer got offered the tour missions. I don't think it's initial guns are much use against quick ships, I think a lone ship took out my so called capitol ship. I had put some systems on it, but it got raped. So I saved up a million or so and bought a Pirate Enterprise. I also discovered that fighter escorts discourages random attacks. It can't kill anything big but with upgrades I found I can run and survive. I made quite a lot of money but I lost two starliners before I perfected the technique. I started getting offered tourguide type missions at 100K a pop.
My second one died before I had it as tweaked so for fun I bought the Starliner. But they have guns, turrets and room for cargo. I bought another (their 200K or so) they desperately need the turning upgrade and the afterburners. But it got blown up while touring Auroran space I think. I eventually had it souped up pretty good. I eventually bought a Pirate Argosy at Viking. Dominant landmarks might even get named as your settlement's finishing touches are applied.įinally your creation will be ready for you to admire, illustrate, show off or use as a jumping off point for something entirely new: a new RPG campaign, a video game setting, a novel fantasy or a even short story.After my extended shuttle tours of duty. These few quick turns are all that's needed to wrap up the development of the city, and tie up any loose ends. The final phase is the topping out phase. This is where the exciting history of your city will be played out, where its structure will evolve, and where the game map will get both bigger and richer. During the development phase the settlement will grow, change or even shrink factions will rise and fall, populations will move, old neighborhoods will decline, and mighty edifices will be built. These events need to be interpreted, and sketched by the active player. Each turn in this phase provides with an event brought forth by the roll of three dice. The following phase, the development phase, is the core of the game.
Following Ex Novo's initial sequence of turns, players will have an interesting starting situation in their hands. Every feature is described by the acting player, who will then have to draw it on the map. Taking turns, players define such fundamentals features of the settlement as the surrounding terrain or its original founding purpose. The age and size of the city-to-be are also determined, and with them the expected duration of the game. Play begins with a brief discussion phase, where each player shares their assumptions and expectations. A town with a true sense of history and place. You will flesh out a living place complete with landmarks, districts, resources, and people, and in the end create your own, unique, fictional town. Its founding, in fact, conjured you into existence, and imbued you with purpose: to witness the settlement grow, shepherd its development, inspire its factions, and remember its stories.ĭuring play you will make sense of the events happening as you roll dice, plan and draw on a collaborative map of your settlement, and influence its changing shape.
