Since I'm not exactly sure where I should post this, seeing as there are a couple topics like this, I'll just post it in here... I'm one of the newest players at HyperSpace. I started this last Wednesday and to be honest, I was sort of turned off at my first sight of HS. I gave it a try however since Pity. told me I should, and I'm one to try new things. With my history of continuum, I had a pretty good idea of where I should start. I bought a warbird and, knowing I was behind everyone in ship upgrades, played smart and tried my best to kill other warbirds. It was suprisingly easy to kill people right fro the start, in my opinion. I quickly raised enough cash for a quantum reactor and things became a little easier after that. Once I got what I deemed necessary for adequate killing on my warbird, I saved up for a leviathan. I loved the leviathan. (Before they took away the fully upgraded shrap) It allowed me, a new player in HS, to raise my bounty to moderate levels thus gaining more cash per kill. I was sad to see the leviathan dwarfed, but it did not effect me much since, when it was dwarfed, I had enough money to finish off my warbird and buy a spider. I know I'm not contributing much to the discussion with this post, but I thought I should since there has been a lot of talk saying it's hard for newer players to get into the game and have a fair advantage. So, I thought I should use myself as an example, especially since I currently am in the top 10 in kills, have 2 ships with anti-death on them, and when it hasn't been a week since I started. Just my two cents... Thanks for reading.
