It’s main mission is to grab cargo and move it around. The Star Barge is your rusty and crusted over pickup truck that your grandpa left in a garage in the backyard for the last 35 years because he didn’t care to tear the header off to replace the gasket and spark plugs. It is essentially a small people can with some engines and a hyperdrive strapped on. It’s agility is it’s real selling point and can get you from point A to point B rather quickly. Even though it is classified as a transport, it more fits moving people vice cargo. It is effectively useless in combat because of it’s weak integrated shielding and hull plating. The Shuttle is about as small as a fighter, which allows for this particular ship to easily dodge pirates and missiles. However, given that in this glorious game that 450k isn’t hardly anything to sneeze at when you look at the price tags of the much larger ships, you will quickly realize (without looking at the player’s manual) that you’ve basically got three choices: A transport type ship (Shuttle), a hauler (Star Barge), and an interceptor (Sparrow). I can hear you saying “I’ve signed my soul to the devil. No real checking involved, so you could literally be A. When starting a new pilot for the first time, you have to provide a first name and last name. All very useful and configurable to one’s taste. The preferences menu also changes things like sound levels, motion blur, zoom factor, statuses and such. Shift modifies targeting with selecting nearest ship, next escort and talking to planets. If anyone puts together a good profile for XPadder, shoot a comment on the guide! XPadder can get around that issue if you prefer controllers but I am unsure as to how well that would go.
ENDLESS SKY HOW TO
If anyone happens to know how to integrate XInput to the (seemingly custom) engine that the game runs on, we could potentially get full controller support. So far, the default key scheme is quite intuitive. Default Keys are as follows:įairly short list, all in all. Looking at the preferences won’t really divulge all too much.
ENDLESS SKY MOD
If you are on high DPI monitors or at resolutions like 4K and such, there is an official mod found on the Steam Store page that will give you assets much easier to see at (much) higher resolutions. Good reference for some things I might have missed! Starting Up: Getting Strapped InĪfter downloading and installing, it’s a quick process to start the game and is fairly straight forward.
ENDLESS SKY MANUAL
The Endless Sky official manual can be found on github here Endless Sky Developer FAQ Even though the game does have it’s own manual, it doesn’t make it very easy to digest the whole of it. It is fairly basic high level, but there is a fair amount of things going on underneath the hood so to speak. Games like Elite, EVE Online (inspiried by Elite), Star Control and the like. AS I WORK ON OTHER SAVES TO SEE HOW THE OTHER STARTS WORK, WILL APPEND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION What is Endless Sky?Įndless Sky is a 2D sandbox-styled space game with a lot of elements from other games that will seem familiar.
ENDLESS SKY SOFTWARE
And with how new this particular game is, it being a Free Open Source Software based game, with it’s source code available at Github, I figured I would give it a go at getting a guide going to help all of us newcommers to the game.AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING, I SELECTED THE HAULER AND WENT WITH TRADING. I admit this is the first Steam Guide I am writing for any game on Steam. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO HELP ADD MORE USEFUL INFORMATION AND HELP MAKE THE GAME GREAT FOR EVERYONE!Ok guys, some disclosure here. Endless Sky: A Real Beginner’s GuideTHIS GUIDE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
