Captain Survival Guide #2

Quests

The player has a QuestManager script that holds the current Quest (active quest) and the Quest Giver for that quest (the friendly ship that asked for your help). The QuestManager also holds the completed quests and quest givers, in order to show them in the QuestLog (that you can open by pressing ‘Q’). Let’s see the quests we made:

Asteroids in the way 

Description: An asteroid belt is blocking Shonda’s path. Clear 15 asteroids to help her get through.

Rewards: Energy T and Energy W and unlock SW area. These modules increase the maximum number of thrusters and weapons you can build by 5.

Tips: This quest can be found in the NW zone and it’s very simple to complete, as there are plenty of asteroids’ zones to destroy. We also integrated 4 (tier 1) enemy zones so you should be fine.

Ray’s treasure

Description: Ray is an independent pilot who was attacked by the Ghotos. In order to gain speed and escape, he had to release all his cargo into space and now he can’t find it. He promises a reward to anyone who helps him gather his cargo back.In fact, Ray is a smuggler and the cargo he was carrying is much more precious than they appeared…

Rewards: After you complete the quest, you unlock the Weapon2 and the SE zone.

Tips: This quest can be found in the SW zone and is challenging for many reasons. The enemy zones are close to the objects you have to collect and most of them are tier 2. Also, it can be hard to actually find the crates we placed in the map. You need to find 3 groups of 5 crates and their position on the map can be found in the image below. (entire SW Zone)

A cry for help

Description: An unknown ship is emitting a distress signal. The message sent to the SpaceCraft can read: “If you’re reading this, I need your immediate help.”

Rewards: No rewards 

Tips: This is not a real quest. The Goal type of our quests are Destroy, Gather, Kill and Find. This is one of the Find quests where you simply need to reach the location seen in the minimap. We put some enemy zones between you and Jacob’s ship so be carefull. You are now entering the tier 3 zones…

Get out alive

Description: The planet Tracer - ally of the Humans - is surrounded by Gothic ships. Nobody can get in or out. Without interplanetary trade, some essential goods are starting to become scarce. Aid requests abroad are urgent, but the human fleet is slow to arrive. In desperation, some pilots decided to try a random escape from the planet to collect the supplies that the population needs.Spacecraft needs to help kill 100 enemy ships.

Rewards: By simply accepting the quest you are rewarded with the Shield Module and Unlock the last zone, which is the NE. After completing this quest the game ends and you can choose whether to restart or continue exploring from where you were.

Tips: In the SE are there are some zones of enemies but in the NE are even more and more dangerous zones, mixed with asteroid zones which can be a decisive factor in aiming at enemies. For example, Kamikazes will try to explode you and you can’t shoot them because of the obstacles in the way… We placed around 200 enemies in both areas, meaning you only need to kill half of them. Make sure you use all the Checkpoint zones available.
