so there are no shops where you can upgrade if you have loads of cash?
usually this kind of games have shops but most of the time the prices are to high

cause basically when there is a gold counter or cash counter or whatver they used to 'buy' stuff, in a game and a shop you could try to get more gold :D
mostly these numbers are in the ram memory .
I read lost of posts on various games where the steam users were cheating the heck out of games :D
they started when the neo scavenger was released first, they also unzipped xulima savegames , these steam users are big cheaters at gaming :D

Its always funny to read these steam posts, lucky for us we on GOG are all pasionate gamers who will never use cheats to win a game.


btw check out these new games coming to GOG:

Gog just keeps getting better and better every great game that's added. Kerbals, Jedi Academy and then blam, Convoy.

Was waiting for this - wishlisted.

Thank you, GOG :)

Just played a couple missions, and there are definite parallels to FTL. Combat is quite different, but that's good too, no point in having the same game again. And like FTL, it's pretty brutal on newcomers. It's going to take a while to figure out how to keep everything running and which decision paths to take. In some ways it's harder than FTL in that it's an open world, and you aren't choosing a progression through increasingly harder areas. Instead, you can get overwhelmed right away.

Will give it some more plays to get a better idea, but so far it was a worthwhile purchase. Love these kinds of games.

almost 9 USDs for the soundtrack? c'mon ,people usually have to love the game first before they even buy any OST.

if it doesn't come nicely wrapped with some cover art and relevent notes within, and free shipping, i don't want to pay 9 bucks for it.

Super excited for this one and thanks for the quick initial impressions! Please feel free to toss up a few more if you're so inclined ;)

This game looks CHARMING, it reminds me a VERY old game for the SPECTRUM or AMSTRAD CPC, where you control a convoy MAD MAX style.

I will add that combat seems much less tactical than in FTL, at least in my early plays. In FTL you have a lot of options, such as where to target attacks, sending over boarding parties, and redirecting energy from one system to another. Here it is pretty much a matter of choosing your target and hammering them until they're gone. There are a few extras, such as using the special powers of your main crawler and sometimes maneuvering your enemies into rock formations (which you have to avoid yourself). But overall combat is more basic. There is no crew management, and I haven't encountered any unit getting better through experience yet, though in my games so far they haven't lasted very long either. :)

Lol :) It looks cool so I'll wishlist it.

You can upgrade your units in camps. Not only with new equipment, also health, armor and so on.

In your opinion, how dependent is the game on random chance compared to FTL? I was willing to forgive FTL's dependence on chance in terms of whether or not you'd be screwed by the time you got to the end, because it was a relatively short game, but I've been turned off of other chance-dependent games like Sunless Sea because you'd seemingly lose a substantial amount of time and in-game progress just because of some random event.

Yes, I was more wondering if they gained experience, like your crew does in FTL and like units do in some RTS titles (from novice to veteran, etc). It makes keeping a unit alive longer more worthwhile, since they get better over time. I've not seen an indication of this happening yet, but again, my games have been too short for such a mechanism to be exposed if it exists.


I've not played it enough yet to give a solid answer there, but I will say that given the open world nature of the game, it's a lot easier to run across a battle you can't win than in FTL. I'm hoping that, like FTL, there are a lot of random encounters waiting where you can gain new vehicles and equipment just by taking the right decision path. I did manage to loot an abandoned station for some goodies, so I know there are such things in there.

One other thing is that I haven't noticed yet if there is a way to detect before a battle how strong the enemy is, nor a way to flee battle prematurely. Unlike some encounters in FTL, where you could size up the opposition, it seems that once a battle is underway you are committed. I haven't even found a self-destruct yet to end a hopeless battle, and just had to let it play out while my main crawler was whittled away. (Jumping to the main menu and starting a new game is about the only other way out at that point.)

Great release!
