The forged cargo papers you mentioned in the first post indeed allow you to take contraband to imperial bases, where those sell for big profits. Another thing is that how easily Gut accepts you depends on your standing with pirates. If it is neutral, you just have to go rob a merchant ship. Better than that, and he accepts you directly as a friend to the pirates. If you want to be everybody's friend, you pretty much have to wander around hoping to find pirates fighting Manchi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-22496797618133699262013-07-16T11:46:51.975-04:002013-07-16T11:46:51.975-04:00I linked to the site from my sidebar as we discuss...I linked to the site from my sidebar as we discussed. Thanks again for putting this out there.<br /><br />I really do like good game sound, and we simply haven't reached an era in which the technology supports it, so it makes sense that I've never awarded very high scores in the category that combines it with graphics and interface.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-71080076102516455772013-07-16T08:05:58.840-04:002013-07-16T08:05:58.840-04:00The direction of the implication is important too....The direction of the implication is important too.

Is it the same correlation if you take that into account (i.e. count 6 as a high rating for graphics/sound)?Ragnarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-52848412933177852552013-07-16T01:45:36.794-04:002013-07-16T01:45:36.794-04:00Nice stuff Ragnar!

My job hsa me working with stats a lot, and this inspired me to do some correlation values on each of the cetegories, something you could think about adding to your charts. I found that the highest correlation was 0.72, between NPCs and Game World (this means that if the game has a good game world it is also likely to have good NPCs, and conversly if one is bad then so to the other), followed by Quests with Game World, and then Magic/Combat with Character Development.<br /><br />At the low end of the scale, with a 0.18 correlation, the quality of NPCs has essentially no bearing on the quality of the combat.<br /><br />Encounters has the highest correlation with the final score of 0.82, meaning you can get a reasonable gauge of the score just from looking at the encounter score, but Graphics/sound has the lowest, proving the old adage that good graphics doesn't mean good game.<br /><br />Lastly, a stat Chet may or may not want to read, on his play time! He has averaged 1 hour and 24 minutes per day on this little project of his (Almost exactly 10 hours per week), which is quite frankly much lower than I was expecting!Mikrakovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359946565373258773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-91642809749285797822013-07-14T17:28:32.048-04:002013-07-14T17:28:32.048-04:00Space Rogue is a game I've seen a bit over the...Space Rogue is a game I've seen a bit over the shoulder..
