Title: New Game Plus?
Post by: Happy Camper on December 25, 2008, 07:44:01 pm
Hello, fellow campers.

I'm currently running UQM on Kubuntu and have decided to try something unorthodox.  I want to do a New Game Plus.  That is to say, I want to start the game with the ship I have now to see if I can finish in record time.

It occurs to me that I could do this with a save game editor, but I haven't found one for Linux.  To be honest, I've never used a save game editor for this game.

Ideally, though, the bosses would be tougher, the groups of enemies larger, and the probes... even more annoying.

You mean a mod, or a challenge? Or perhaps a cheat?

It's not really practical to balance combat around a flagship sporting hellbore cannons, shiva furnaces and ATS's right from the start.

Well, Chrono Trigger's New Game+ is used to do trick endings, of which there are around 9 (three of the endings could be considered normal, I think).

What trick endings could you do here? I guess it depends on how fully tricked out your ship is. If it comes with the modified bomb, then you had better have all the quests pre-done.
