And also, if you have the SD version installed when you open HD, you get Valkyrie HD for free

So I'd have to buy both versions to get the valkyrie hd? and what is the valkyrie a ship?

Yes, but you don't need to play the original GoF to get the story, since the original GoF didn't have much of a story... but the characters are the same and it makes some references to it.

You can buy Valkyrie in game too. It's basically some more missions and better ships/weapons.

ok cool, I bit the bullet and bought this game.. still trying to decide if I want to get Sky Gamblers Air Supremacy... looks really promising

OK, Valkyrie is an expansion pack in game, which costs 4.99 US. If you don't have both the SD and HD, you'd be fine with just purchasing the pack, BUT, if you did have the SD version already, you could get the expansion pack in HD for free.

But then you will have to play with the Valkyrie content in the HD version.

If it'd work both ways, I'd buy both versions as I have an iPhone4. (We do have an iPad2, but it's very difficult to get it away from our daughter!)

Any updates regarding this?

definitely a tough game even on normal mode.
the flying itself is not one of the games strong suits for its lack of being able to fly away from being barraged by pirates. I'm only level 4 but my freelance missions have brought me into areas that are pretty far from my main quests and they tech levels are way higher. I guess I just need to stick to lower level areas and upgrade the crap outta my ship.

any advice would be appreciated regarding strategy for progressing

I would suggest starting off with easy mode, and getting the gist of the game. Boosters can get you out of tricky situations with pirates, getting some armour upgrades your health, and shields do the same, but regenerate over time.

You can also come over to the Fishlabs forums for more opinions and suggestiong http://forums.fishlabs.net/fishlabs-...xy-fire-2-124/

Yeah, if you don't already own the normal version, then you could save some cash just getting the HD version and the add-on.

thank you very much quantum, I'll definitely be making an account over on that forum so I'll direct my game questions there.

Would Valkrie HD be detected in Galaxy on Fire SD?
