Star Tours!

I have updated the stream settings for improved streaming; if all goes well, we shouldn't be dropping video except in the rarest of circumstance! Having Surveyed Akila, we're off to complete our first mission as an official Freestar Ranger. With any remaining time we will sell off cargo and the survey data and maybe even work on the Sparrow with the credits we earned.

This stream is testing new settings to see if it is better or worse that our current setup. I grow tired and exasperated with the number of dropped frames. Some settings are actually higher than they used to be, as I am setting them to run at native rates/sizes to reduce the load on the encoder. I have also switched to a hardware encoder (which may need further adjustments on it's own. Join me for some fun with "Twinstar," the character I'm playing through as a pirate (eventually) so I can NG+ him with a proper pirate background.

In today's episode, we take off to remove a pirate threat for the Freestar Collective, then return to Akila to finalize our entry into the Freestar Rangers. After completing that task we will finish surveying the planet then return to the Lodge with our new artifact, presuming there is time.

This week in the saga of Capt'n Zak, we follow Sam Coe out into Akila's frontier in search of an artifact, and time favoring us, take down a gang leader for the Freestar Collective

This week we finally pick up Sam Coe, continue our modification of the Sparrow, and fulfill the piloting challenges Capt'n Zak needs to reach higher levels of skill. By the end, we hope to land in Akila city and continue our quest for artifacts!

Today's journey keeps us on Bessel III-b While Capt'n Zak sets up his home base, acquires skills he'll need for adventuring, then off to the stars to let Barrett check in with Constellation, then Grab Sam Coe so we can be off on our main quest to seek out artifacts!

In this episode, follow Capt'n Zak in his attempt to rescue Constellation's resident rogue, Barrett. We'll then move forward to scout our first outpost location and continue our quest to locate more artifacts!

Follow along with Capt'n Zak as he begins the work of customizing his Sparrow and continues the quest to discover more about the strange artifacts scattered among the known systems.

Tonight's episode will follow the Spacer Slate to Denebola I-b in search of the treasure they think they'll find. If we complete the mission in time, we'll do some starship building.

This episode we do our level Explorer best to find Moara, a UC Vanguard volunteer who's gone missing. Once we've found him we will have accomplished two things: finding him, of course, but also acquiring the artifact he's hanging onto, which hopefully he'll be glad to part with for saving his life.

Today's episode will see us testing our piloting skills, hunting down another artifact, and if there's time, more.

Due to the crippling service of the ISP, the previous stream is almost entirely unwatchable. You deserve better. This is an attempt at a better stream; if we cannot get a solid stream I will have to resort to pre-recorded videos, which I am loath to do.

Follow along with Capt'n Zak as he works his way from the mines of Vectera to piloting his custom built Sparrow and finds his way among the stars! Today we meet Constellation and work on our Commerce skill. Ideally we will pick up needed quests and credits along the way which we'll need to build an outpost and obtain the base ship from which we'll build the Sparrow.

Follow along with Capt'n Zak as he works his way from the mines of Vectera to piloting his custom built Sparrow and finds his way among the stars! Tonight we tangle with the Crimson Fleet and continue our mission to deliver the artifact we found to the group called Constellation.

This stream is a repeat of the previous stream hopefully clearing up the horrible audio issues. Use this if you just want to experience the journey. I am leaving up the original, as this is a learning experience and it will include the character creation process in total, if that interests you. It is wholly unnecessary for the story. Follow along with Capt'n Zak as he works his way from the mines of Vectera to piloting his custom built Sparrow and finds his way among the stars!

Today Zakalden escapes the drudgery of mining grunt work and finds himself catapulted into a new world, complete with his first ship! First order of Business, find a way to build the Sparrow as quickly as possible.

The Star-rise of Toliman over the horizon of it's second planet; currently quarantined by the UC military due to an infection of Terrormorphs. Brought to you by the brave adventurer, Capt'n Zak!
