Endless Sky Plugin:
Spacefarer
This is a plugin for the free open source game: Endless Sky. The theme song for this plugin is The Wanderer.
Gameplay Mechanics Changes
In an effort to add a unique re-playable experience to Endless Sky this plugin aims to minimally change the vanilla experience except to place a few constraints upon the player.
Constraints include:
- One Jump Drive
- Outfits cannot be looted
- Ships cannot be captured
Extras provided by plugin
- Navy licenses are granted at the end of Free Worlds campaign. So that Navy ships are purchasable by the player.
- Large systems core and double/triple plasma core are available after Remnant Cognizance missions. They are for sale to provide additional build flexibility.
Known issues
- Outfits are not plunderable but cargo on a ship can still be plundered. This is a limitation in what can be accomplished in plugins. We accept this as a limitation and have no plans to change it.
- If a player sells their Jump Drive they cannot get it back. This is intentional.
- A player can obtain up to 3 Jump Drives simultaneously. However, additional Jump Drives will be consumed to proceed with story content. At the end, the player would be left with one Jump Drive.
- Cannot sell unfettered multiple jump drives which prevents you building rapport with the unfettered. This blocks the scar missions.
- Cannot pacify the unfettered after the wanderer story ends because you cannot sell jump drives to the unfettered.
Development status: Beta
All critical story elements are available. Necessary outfits are available or plunderable when a mission calls for it.
