Why are you sacrificing poor innocent ships to the elder gods?

It's part of the main story. You are working for a scientist studying some anomalies in space and he asks you to bring a ship to a location with 3 antimatter cells aboard it. I'm sure you can guess what happens to the ship from there. Don't worry, I make sure the ship's pilot is reassigned beforehand and sell off everything I can from the ship. The Kestrel is a cheap ship anyway. As a Teladi, it would be morally reprehensible for me to do anything that lost money, but I get a sweet player headquarters station out of the deal, so it's very much a net profit. All is well.

Things that only I wonder; do the hull numbers increment up with each ship that joins your fleet?

To the best of my knowledge, it's a random string of letters and numbers on each ship. Maybe later, when my economy is booming, I'll order 4 or 5 of the same ship built at the same shipyard or wharf and check if the numbers are incremented or random.

I have been racking my brain to find some screenshots within the nearly 500 taken during my (thus far) 130 hours of Trails of Cold Steel 3 that don't have spoilers or require 15 pics in a single post for some context. This is the best I got.

Not every game lets you play as member of someone else's harem.

Eww?

Trouble?

 

Nah, cake and pie.

My (very incomplete) headquarters station:

It's going to take a lot of time and money to get it fully functional, but I'll get there eventually. First things first, I need to build a dock so that I can even access it.

In the meantime, I'm off to make friends with the Split Free Families (one of 2 very much at odds Split factions) so that I can hit on smokin hot Split babes:

On a serious note, I do like some Split ships and they also sell some really powerful weaponry, so it's a good idea to make friends with at least one of their factions. Here is the Jaguar scout I purchased from them after I did some work and they warmed up to me:

Ironically, I just recently sacrificed a scout (so that my HQ can live) and here I am buying another scout. The Kestrel was a piss poor scout, though; even as a proud Teladi, I can admit that our ships are poorly suited for scouting, namely because they're so slow. Split ships are on the opposite end of that spectrum; they are very fast and have a ton of firepower (not so much this scout, because it's a scout) and have paper thin hulls and poor shielding (your prototypical glass cannons), but that doesn't really matter on a scout, I'm not going to use it to fight. Speed is all that matters for a scout. If danger comes hunting me I can just peace out and the list of ships that have any prayer of keeping up with my Jaguar is very very short.

Don't listen to the critics. This is a true XCOM:

There should be a Sectoid-Muton buddy cop movie.

The Surge 2.

From mid-game to the ending.

(mid-game)

Goddess Helena defeated. (end-game).

I think that the game subtly encouraged me to brutally murder this guy.

It took more attempts than I would like, but it was worth it.

That one optional boss, whom I found, but never defeated.

Brother Eli, round 2. It went faster and much easier this time, despite his slightly changed moveset. I also got his weapon.

The Cathedral of the Spark.

Spoiler

I guess, if she started a career in engineering, instead of a cult, it would be more fulfilling.

..and that's alright.

Defeated (?) Little Johnny. Again.

Somehow reminds me of Assassin's Creed, though I would not survive the jump.

Matriarch Celeste defeated.

 

The Great Wall and NG+.

Spoiler

The Great Wall.

Archangel Eli defeated.

He had been revived twice already, so no forth chances.

NG+, saving the kid and a random guy.

NG+

Your party makes no sense from a story point of view, that is if this game sticks to the original....Does it have the same class system as the original?

it only adds some class 4 tier, removed some stats and general rebalancing

Some pictures of Kresusiso Headquarters. First up, my luxurious dock for small and medium size ships (I don't have a pier for large and XL ships yet, but I also don't have any L and XL ships yet):

I wonder what my Boron scientist friend thinks of the fish tanks, given that Boron are aquatic.

The office of my manager:

Meeting the scientist face to face for the first time (that's me in the doorway):

His (?) name is Boso Ta. He is the only Boron I have encountered in the game. I wonder if the Boron will be reintroduced into the game fully in a future expansion, much like the Split were with the Split Vendetta expansion that came out recently.

How 'bout we split the difference and go with Gangster of Love?

Been playing Generation Zero for a while now. I know, I know, the game was blasted by reviewers and players for being repetitive, empty and dull. And it kinda is. But I bought it on the recommendation of one of my cousins and it didn't click for me for a year or so (I only tried it a handful of times). But recently I decided to start it up again and it has grown on me. It's still repetitive and empty, but for some reason I'm having fun with it. It's more a walking simulator than a shooter though.

Anyhow, I just thought the views in this game can be kinda pretty. It's a good representation of Sweden in the eighties.

You just need to get into the Bob Ross mindset. Look at that first screenshot again and you just know that there is a happy little squirrel living in that tree right there.
