Could just be that they are making less money than the other two factions, but they haven't been locked in a war for a century, so they have reserves to spare.
I think if you give the church the device, you're allied with them regardless of the state of the Pit.
That's called society.
You need to follow up on the spy in the Brotherhood or Protectors questline and you will get an opportunity to take the side of the Church.
You do meet her before; in fact you're the one who convinced her to switch sides (that's why she doesn't betray Jonas) in the first place. Why choose her over Braxton? Because they clearly want very different things? Because for Braxton you're a nobody and for Mercy you're a trusted lieutenant who helped her take her kingdom?
He tells them he'll pay, he didn't actually pay them yet as one of the Keepers tell you.
I would have liked it if you were able to meet her before. I know 99% of players will probably miss this, as they'll go get Evans then start the Jonas v Braxton conflict; but what if you can go to her fort before initiating that quest chain. Have one of her guards tell you they're in need of someone whose willing to run a job for Mercy. Really the guard is supposed to do this job, however, he's too lazy and sees the player character as an opportunity to offload the job on.
Don't forget scavs in hydro. You can also pretend to be a regulator in outskirts but you don't need a badge for that for some reason.
The area exit after siding with Braxton is in a weird place over the 'bridge': https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823911453
If you've been following the game's progress and still on the fence. I think now's a good time to get it as there'll be a price increase. The game's quality and pretty worth it. Future content is going to make the game even better too.Now that the second chapter of the game is completed, the price will be increased to $29.99 after the summer sale is over. It’s the first price increase out of 3 planned:
Early Access launch (3 locations) - $24.99 ($19.99 on sale right now)
Chapter 2 completed (7 locations) - $29.99
Chapter 3 completed (all 12 locations) - $34.99
Chapter 4 (the endgame), full release - $39.99
Since Colony Ship is now on sale with 20% off, the effective discount (after the price increase) is $10 or its regional equivalent. Now, here’s the
million
twenty-dollar question:
Should You Buy Colony Ship?
If you played our first game (The Age of Decadence) and liked it, you can buy Colony Ship with confidence:
- well-crafted setting that's more than an excuse to kill some things
- story that doesn't revolve around saving the world
- robust character system with 6 stats, 18 skills, feats, implants, and reputation
- tactical turn-based combat with different attacks, futuristic gadgets, and various grenades
- branching dialogues full of skill checks and choices
- multiple ways to handle quests and objectives
- meaningful choices backed by consequences
If you like Colony Ship's setting and the story (the store page description), but are not sure about the design, read the negative reviews. What bothered one person might also bother you. Overall, the criticism falls into three categories:
Difficult Combat
Yes, there's an easy mode ("Hero"), but some people prefer to play on hard ("Underdog") but want it to be ... less hard. But whether hard or easy, Colony Ship's complex tactical combat is a major part of the game. If you don't think you'll like learning the character and combat systems to even the odds (in most encounters you'll be outgunned and outnumbered), then you should probably find a different game.
Too Much Reading
If you don't like reading, in games or in general, you will NOT enjoy this game. You can't skip dialogues and just jump into the next fight. In fact, the game isn't very actiony and you can avoid all combat with speech skills. The dialogues aren't voiced as we don't have the budget for it.
Non-AAA Graphics
Some players didn't like the graphics and it's my duty to inform you of this fact. Our team is small, so don't expect any AAA splendor here.
If you're willing to overlook the negatives, then board the Ship and we'll take you on a dystopian adventure of a (very short) lifetime. If not, thank you for reading.
Definitely not.
That is certainly a solution. One example that came to my mind was at the Courthouse. Instead of being completely oblivious, the dialogue should say something along the lines of "You liked coming here to watch the fights since you were a child." and modify the conversation with Chief Justice a little.
