Astro Galaxy - a realistic space exploration game

I'm only in day 2 and it look like it'll take a few weeks at last.
I'm now in "Step 14: learn how to manage your ship personnel while in space".
It starting to get boring most of the time there's noting to do but just wait hours.

to play this game you need to be patient. You are close to the end of the tutorial. If I remember well, it has 22 steps.

Correct but I finished it in a day

It took me a few days, but I kept re-starting to be sure I had the game mechanics down pat.

At the end it took me 2 months if I remember right.
You get noting special at the end.

You get another ship when you successfully finish Academy!

and a free ship license to go with it

It's been so long but don't you also receive like 20 QPs after the Academy?

Yes you do.

Not really. You just getting permission to use another license temporary BUT once you are buying a license it'll use the new license for the "free" ship, so you left with the same number of ships.

I was thinking of finishing SEA when ships got to be $1billion solars per ship.  They are "only" $144 million solars / ship now so I still need to buy a few before I get there.  I thought this would 'save' me a billion solars.  But if you really don't get a license then is my plan futile?

Aunt_Polly (the Empire's trading alt)started with Cinnamon (her first ship & license) and upon graduated was given her 'Legacy" & license (now Nutmeg). purchased a third license and purchased Saffron.

Resulting in three ships and only one purchased license.

(@Odlid - Can you restart the academy (or finish) after all this time has passed?)


edit for this announcement:

3.   A Travelers Aid Society advisory remains in effect in the Feenamint Cluster.  The Chingli Empire has closed free movement in the area and now requires ‘specific permission’ passports for any travel.    In other news, Andi Sergiletti has won the crown of the 750th Miss Nebula Beauty Pageant.   The 17 year old Sergiletti vows to bring peace to the quadrant.

Due to a mistake in transferring some QP I ended up receiving 66 QP I shouldn't have.  You MUST have completed SEA to transfer QP, therefore in order to make this mistake right I had to complete SEA which I did 7+ months after I started playing the game.  I had no problem doing this other than I had to make an Iridium Armor and a Viper Squad - I had previously quit SEA at the 'go mine something' stage.

Upon graduation I received a new ship and ship license.  It now costs me ~150million solars to buy a ship license.  I really had not planned on finishing SEA until ship licenses were costing 10B solars or more - that is, when a new ship license really really hurt to buy.

Buy the saddest part of this tale is that I can no longer proclaim that I'm an SEA dropout.

:21:

well,I am

 :))

ah, but you are now eligible to join the Empire.  We would welcome you. L:)

ah, but SPQNR will always be the first Corporation Odlid refused to join!  And, he's still welcome :-)

I got ONLY a ship and NO ship license so I was able to fly the new ship but buying another license later was used for this "free" ship.
