I just finished buying a ticket from Ted from Omega Bar. Once you collected over 10000 in wealth the storyline is fairly straight forward. (I accidentally dated another girl while dating the command assistant hire manager, that didn't go well.) I feel if you hunt down the girl someone mentioned to you and start a relationship you will be able to flee the station? No idea how the others would go.

I'm not sure if this is a way off, but ambassadors board the station occasionaly. When I hover over thier picture, it says they are a hiring manager for 'Visiting Ambassador' (I'm not sure if this is correct). Perhaps if you started a romantic relationship or became a 'Visiting Ambasador', that could be a way off? The only problem is that ambassadors typically have high levels, such as 14, and leave the station after a while, so you would have to be quick.

I want an ending where I can pick my own away team of up to 6 people and escape the station that way.

Flight of the Redshirts maybe, a happy ending. Maybe transport escape to a habitable moon/tropical paradise. I just think that would be a cool secret ending that would fit great into the game.

that would rock valendale!

I´d like to know, if there´s actually a guide on how to achieve all 5 endings. Career and wealth are pretty easy, but the other 3? Just look at the worldwide achievement-statistics and you knwo what I mean.

Well, I gave it a real shot, but no matter how many games I played I could only find two ways to win: 1. Get the top job as the Command Assistant. The Commander then immediately offers to fly you away the very next day. Abrupt win. 2. Get a high enough ranking/job and T'arg's sister will message you. She informs you that an Xthxxx (sp?) named Ted can be found in Omega bar and will give you a better price on a shuttle ticket. Hit the Omega bar a few times and sure enough Ted (or whoever she possibly names if you're playing a guy) is there and you can buy a shuttle ticket. He'll reduce the price if your schmoozing is high enough. Again, next day you're offered a flight out. Abrupt win.

Would be interested to know if there are other ways to win. I played several playthroughs, as you can see by my ingame hours, and nothing varied. I tried relationships with the ambassadors even and nothing changed. They whine for romantic dates just like a co-worker, etc. and nothing else ever happens (at least in my playthroughs.)

It's a fun and humorous game, but very light on plot, interaction, etc. The Away Missions are especially meh, but oh well. Perhaps they'll fix that in a future patch? Hope this helps anyone who needs it. Done for now, but I can't say it didn't make me laugh :)

I would also like to know how the friends, romance, and bribery (ways to win the game) work?

Career I got when becoming Commanders Assistant.

Wealth I got when buying a ticket from Ted and leaving right away.

Bribery I *think* I got when buying a ticket from Ted and leaving when the station blew up.

Romance I got by having rank 14, starting to date an officer, moving from commanders assistant down to a lower ranking job right shortly before the station blew up, and then having the officer take me with her when it did explode.

No idea for schmoozing though. Being in a relationship with a random ambassador doesnt seem to do it, nor does being in a relationship with an ambassador when the station blows up.

I did some testing and it seems that the game picks the first winning condition from this list:
1. Career - be "commander's assistant" when game ends
2. Relationship - be in a long-term relationship with a high-ranked person when game ends (lvl15 officer worked for me)
3. Wealth - have a "one shuttle ticket" when the game ends
4. Charisma - be friends with the commander, an officer, or Ted when the game ends
?. Bribery - should involve buying a ticket from Ted in the bar (marked 'broken' on AStats)

This means that to get a specific ending, you need to make sure you fail the conditions for all of the ones above it. Depending on your goal it could mean downgrading to a lower-ranked job, breaking up your relationship, trashing the tickets and unfriending all high-ranked people.

The 'Bribery' goal is currently not attainable through normal gameplay. In another steam thread one person points out that station.xml's <boughtFromTed> flag remains set to false. It could be outright broken and not possible at all, or just badly coded (maybe requiring not to buy the shop ticket, or to not use the schmooze discount but pay full price). I did a quick run, and buying the ticket in the bar resulted in a Wealth ending.

I noticed Targ and some other high-ranking characters are often friends with Ted. Could being in a relationship with Ted be the Bribery route?

I can confirm that this worked: "Relationship - be in a long-term relationship with a high-ranked person when game ends (lvl15 officer worked for me)"

Thanks ultramage!!

Has anyone completed this achievement or is it broken?

In Space, No-one Can Hear You Scheme: Win the game through two different routes.

Yes Sarah, it unlocked on my 3rd win. Maybe you need to fulfill 2 win conditions at the same time. (at least that's what the achievement icon suggests)

Vhampster, I think I tried the Ted relationship for the bribery win and it didn't work. :/
