Help on Pax Stats

Post by TheKhronic » Wed Aug 26, 2009 11:52 pm

I want to start playing on a Pax server to get the colony building process down pat. The guides on colonies here are pretty good, but trying to read them and going out and doing it cold turkey is hard, at least for me. So, I'm not sure what I should put my stats into. Like a 10 Charisma 5 Wisdom, vise versa, or something else. I couldn't find anything else, and I hate screwing up so thanks.

For a PAX Big Bang or perma the Charisma stat is the most important. If not using tokens then put the rest into Wisdom, although this does make your ship painful to turn and energy regeneration sucks. If you're going to use tokens then wisdom isn't an issue, put the last 5 into dex.

If you're playing a rebang then your strategy should determine your stats. Charisma has an impact over the long haul for builders, so in a 2-week game the advantage isn't all that great unless you build like crazy. In a PAX rebang the IGP's and NPC hunting are often factors so the more traditional 10 dex is a legitimate strategy. In PAX I prefer to go with 10 charisma / 5 wisdom and strip the IGPs before they get going, thus shutting down the stray non-PAX players.

Last bit of advice: don't do a PAX perma. Do the PAX Big Bang or the rebangs.

or get 10 wisdom and 5 dex and get 3 orcales cause 0 low dex is really shitty and charisma can be very usless

A week, you probably played for an hour and got pissed that you were dying so much.

Chet isn't smart enough to use sarcasm that skillfully.
