Selecting your start

Once you select a new game, you'll be granted a few options to select your start.



Humble Merchant-start, is somewhat broken, and will pose some people a few problems, due to you starting out in a Merchant-ship, without any weapons.

Once you have started, and seen the intro, you'll be flying a ship.. And be hailed by a ship called 'Argon Flight School'.



Some of the people will get trouble now, since the ship you're flying dosn't have any weapons, and you'll need weappons to finnish the Flight School-mission.

This start gives you two ships, one scout-ship, and one transporter-ship. I'll get back to that, once we do the mission..
