Permadeath Taxi Service

[iamthedotcom 197]

 

Important Note (1:44 p.m. CST, USA on 8/22/2019):

Hello Travelers!

 

The mighty @FarSideOfSaturn has been crushing it while I've been away. Seriously, please show him a ton of love and support. 

 

It seems he has run into a bit of a snag though and some in the community are still needing a lift. I no longer own the game (had to sell it to fund the gaming habit lol), but will start trying to find a cheap copy. Unfortunately, all the stores seem to want at least $25, but I will check local Craigslist. I live in Missouri, so if anyone knows a cheap way to get the game let me know. 

 

iamthedotcom & FarSideOfSaturn Taxi Service

Helping any weary Traveler quickly and easily get the two Galactic Center trophies (To Live Forever, Take a Deep Breath), as well as the base trophy (Reunion). 

What you will need:

1) Permadeath Save
2) About an hour's work following the tutorial. This should get your ship operational. 
3) Hyperdrive Installed (no other materials required).

4) Send me a friend request. You will be added to a large message group. For tracking purposes, please exit the message group when I have helped you. 
5) Headset is optional, but as long as you can hear me, I can walk you through it. 

Hours of Operation: 

TBD 

Central Standard Time, United States

 

Also, I understand that my posted times do not work for everyone. I will be willing to schedule one-off times if absolutely necessary, but I just ask for some patience. In a few weeks, when demand for the weekend times goes down, I will schedule some short weekday times (around the first week of September). 

 

Notes on Getting the Hyperdrive: 

 

Without a Hyperdrive, you won't be able to Warp to the Center. The only ways to get a Hyperdrive with the NEXT update installed, are:

 

1: Complete the Tutorial and find the Blueprints for it.

2: Have the pre-order bonus ship installed.

3: Find a crashed ship and repair it.

4: Trade in your existing ship for a new one by bartering with an Alien pilot at the nearest Trading Post/Outpost.

Awesome, happy to help you guys out. If you haven't already, send me a friend request. I will accept them on Saturday (I'm using the pending friend request to help me remember who I haven't helped yet lol). 

 

As a side note. A few people told me that since they had the pre-order bonus, their ships had a HyperDrive already installed. It also already had one Warp Cell already in it, which means we only need four warp cells. If either of you have the preorder ship, let me know this weekend so we can confirm. 

[Skadoki 198]

Wow, that's very kind of you 😁

I might require this...service at one point! 

 

Cheers @iamthedotcom! I will send a friend request later today.

Thanks for the shout out! I'm happy to do it. I like the game, don't get me wrong, but I respect that not everyone signed up for this kind of grind. I bought the game on release thinking that the trophy list was just a nice leisurely drive through space. Then the DLC came out and it became a nightmare fueled race to your death.

Yup, the game is indeed pretty grindy.

The only reason I'm hesitant to ask for your help is because I'm enjoying playing the game so much right now. That being said when I played it on release, after 20 hours I wanted to finish it asap.

That picture is brilliant! Thanks for making it, I'm using it as the official banner of this post now!

[Krove-34 142]

That is brutal. I hear the save corruption and crashing has gotten better, but I would have been super demotivated to lose a save in permadeath. See you sometime this weekend!

[Broni1337 47]

I´ve send you a Friend request, hope this will work out

[Keyser Soze 515]

thats very nice of you, might pick up the game now lol

[JNSpradlin 289]

Thanks iamthedotcom. Saved me 100 hours.

[Milktastrophe 833]

Thanks again, iamthedotcom! Getting to the ship was fun enough in permadeath, but going all the way to center, man you're a life saver!

Awesome. Thanks a lot iamthedotcom!

[ZireaelSan 156]

If you are available by next weekend i might give this game finally a go

And that banner though XD🤣

[Willreaper41 292]

I already got the plat so the trophies don't interest me so much, but I was thinking of playing again and would like to see the center of the universe. I was so disappointed by the time I got the plat after launch I couldn't play anymore. Will be working during that time though so have to do it a different day.
