New Pilot
Welcome to Star Sonata! We hope that the Star Sonata Wiki will be helpful to you on your journey through the game!
Once you have came up with a user name and password you will be able to choose a faction to join, either the Volcom Pirates or the Nexus Cadets.
Once you have chosen a side you will spawn in Volcom Testing Grounds if you chose to be a Volcom Pirate or Earthforce Outpost if you chose to be a Nexus Cadet. You will also be piloting your very first ship, the Zebucart.
Your Zebucart will have this gear on it (some will be modified).
- IonCannon
- FirstLine
- Coalfurnace
- Escape Pod
- Nooby Shipscanner
- Shield Salvation Device
- Mini Mass Driver Device
- Scoop
- Flux Capacitor
- Ande Radar
For starting players it is good to note that the Shield Salvation Device and Mini Mass Driver Device will help you greatly when used so use them often, another thing is that from certain missions and kills you will sometimes get Augmenters, these will boost the stats of your ship in certain areas to where you find prefference (the tech level of the augmenter has to be equal or lower to the tech level of the ship to be equiped).
This is the chat bar. The Event Tab is where you can view what loot you scoop, when you level, when someone gives you money etc. All chat is where players can communicate to each other with text, Trade chat is where people sell they're goods to people whom wish to buy them, Team chat is where players on a certain team can talk to other players on the same team (ask All chat for a team!). Help chat is the place for new players to ask questions when they don't understand how something works, Galaxy chat is for players to chat to people who are in the same galaxy as you and Squad chat is to talk to people who are in the same squad as you, it will also show what other people have been scooping.
Now lets see if we can help make the menu system make a bit more sence to you.
Just above is a universal ai base, these bases are your main resource for new weapons, skills ships and more! you can always tell when a galaxy has an ai base in it from the white tab under the galaxy's sphere on the map.
And now the next important part of the game, missions.
Missions are an important way of helping people through the game, so its not really wise to skip key missions for your Star Sonata career. Reading all the text in the missions will help you to feel the role that you are playing, as well as getting some handy tips to help complete the missions. Missions are located on Ai Bases.
