A couple minor game mechanics I've observed that I'm wondering if anybody can confirm?
Every time you find a crashed ship it will have 1 more slot than the ship you have?

For crashed ships, this is true. So you will never see a crashed ship with 48 slots if you currently have one with 21. For ships from traders, the bandwidth is bigger (I have a 21-slot ship and I've seen up to 31, for a whopping 14 million units ).

The sentinels don't seem to mind me mining either.

I think it works like this: If it's green (Gold, Emeril, Aluminium, Copper, etc.) or blue (Platinum, Heridium) it's good to go. Yellow and Red are no-no.

I've also noticed that Sentinels will only attack if they actually see you mining. If you bleed the whole place dry but they didn't see it, you can just stand next to it, casually whistling, and they won't do a thing. Unless it's a rare item (like those protein perls), this will spawn sentinels on your location.

Also found out yesterday that you can feed animals and get stuff from them (and have them follow you around).

I saw my first space battle. I've fought off 2 or 4 ships against me but this was different.

About 10 ships were attacking a large ship and they had put out a distress signal. I zoomed in to have a looksee but I wouldn't have been able to fend them off all alone.

One thing I've found annoying is when I've visited an observatory and it shows me a site of interests (this is the same as waypoints and other scanning beacons) they sometimes will show me a site I've visited rather than something new.

Also when using your binoculars you can highlight buildings and beacons etc from a distance, they stay on you radar at the top for some time.

Ideally we either need a mapping system which shows an empty sphear and then everything you've visited shows up with thier name etc. They could also add when you scanned a life form where that was.

Either that or at least give us the coordinates so we can put them in a journal so we can find our way back.

I've spend 2.7 mil for a 24slot ship i thought it was a bargain but about 20mins later i picked up a distress signal of a crashed ship which had 24 slots .....


Moral of my story ... craft bypass chips until you find a crashed ship they usually have the same amount of slots or even much more .

No, crashed ships won't have much more, its always -1, the same or +1 compared to your own ship. You will never find a crashed ship with 24 slots if your own ship is 15. So yes, the moment you buy a ship with 31 slots, you will start to find crashed ships with 30,31 and 32 slots, that's how it works. The game offers you two ways of upgrading ships: through crashed ships, which allows you to upgrade one slot at a time. Or you spend the units and upgrade a bunch of slots all at once.

So, this game pretty much totally sucks, right? I don't get the point of it.

But its not a nice feeling spending almost all the units and find almost the same ship on the planet below you :/

Well need to farm again .... iam so glad the caves are full of emeril

Yeah, but your money was still spent on gaining more slots, so its fine right?

My new ship - 420k units, and 19 slots not bad

I came across this barren and crazy looking Gek planet.
It has a Earth like planet nearby I need to check out

more here - weird rock formations...




and one sexy ship - 4 million units

The last ship looks very similar to one of the ships from colony wars , i even found a picture

While it is true that it's about 1-3 more than current ship. You can just farm the crashed ships to get up to 48 slots too.

I got a 21 slot ship too (Although I don't see me trading it really quickly since it had an warp drive part added) and I seen a 37 slot one for 19 million.

I think it works like this: If it's green (Gold, Emeril, Aluminium, Copper, etc.) or blue (Platinum, Heridium) it's good to go. Yellow and Red are no-no.

It kinda depends on the planet too.
I have had one planet rich in gold. Mining like crazy and then a random sentinel decided to fly by. Didn't care that I was mining it all.
Others tend to just shoot you on site.

My first pirate attack and pet alien.

Nice fight. I usually keep a stack or two of Iron (Fe) in the inventory of my ship so I can recharge the shield during combat, saves a lot of repairing of broken stuff afterwards and it allows you to deal with a large number of attackers more easily.

I found out that Titanium is more better than Iron. I had 2 stacks of Titanium after one and I was about half way though first stack after 14 ships.

 

[Yellowbeard]

Just done my first ship trade, from my original 15 slot ship to a 25 slot ship for 1.5 million units .... ugly beast but I can live with that

 

[Richardrfo]

This game somehow completely evaded my attention until the week before launch, after watching 2 streams I'd made the decision to buy a PS4 for it. 1 weekend gone and I'm completely sold, I stayed on my 2nd planet to collect Emeril and upgrade to a 26 slot ship before heading out, I've now 100% a different planet, upgraded my suit to 30 slots and back to being poor, time to mine!

 

[poolhaas]

Still wondering if space is ever pitch black... i'm currently travelling through a bright green haze, kind of painful on the eyes.

 

[Pako]

My first pirate attack and pet alien.

Well...with attackers to fend off, I'm second guessing my desire for that huge and bulky transport ship with all those slots. Bet that thing moves like a barge.

 

[SPhilli911]

Maybe bad luck for me, but of the 15 or so planets I've visited only 2 had animals and nearly all of the planets are highly protected by sentinels so I'm always being attacked. On top of that, almost all have been baron, empty planets, except for the usual minerals. I want to see those lush, animal filled planets like the trailers led me to believe existed! I'm enjoying this game, but man I wish there was more variety.

Also, I saved up 2 million units for a massive cargo ship only to discover a dinky little crashed ship that carried more items, go figure.

Unless it's a rare item (like those protein perls), this will spawn sentinels on your location.

Also found out yesterday that you can feed animals and get stuff from them (and have them follow you around).

I'm pretty sure the way it works is the more abundant the resource is on a planet, the less the sentinels will care about it. It also depends on how aggressive they are. I've been on a mineral rich, low atmosphere moon where the sentinels gladly cruised by while I mined constant precious metals, and I've been on a fairly barren planet where I got attacked for mining plutonium lol. I've also been on a planet with super aggressive sentinels that attacked me every time they saw me, no matter what I was doing. Thankfully by then I had a decently upgraded boltcaster and I used that planet as a shooting gallery to get my sentinel killing levels up lol.

As for the rare items, I think you're right, no matter what, taking them will spawn sentinels instantly (although they're easy to get rid of on a planet). I found a planet that was littered with gravitino balls simply everywhere, but each one I grabbed would instantly give me 3 "stars" of wanted level. I had tons of plutonium on me though, so what I did was grab as many as I could before I got overrun by sentinels, jump in the ship and take off, wait for the wanted level to disappear, then land and do it all again.

No, crashed ships won't have much more, its always -1, the same or +1 compared to your own ship. You will never find a crashed ship with 24 slots if your own ship is 15.

The game offers you two ways of upgrading ships: through crashed ships, which allows you to upgrade one slot at a time. Or you spend the units and upgrade a bunch of slots all at once.

The crashed ships can be really useful though. I settled on an ugly ship with 24 slots, because all the decent looking ones only had 20 - 22 slots at the time (I looked in two different systems' space stations, and on a planet's trading post). But on the first planet I took the new ship to, I stumbled upon a very cool looking ship, that had been crashed. When I checked it out, it had 25 slots. Was a bit of a pain to fix up, as I had spent lots of resources installing a lot of tech on the ship I'd just bought, but it was worth it to have a decent looking ship. It is getting a bit cramped now though, especially with my suit at 36 slots lol. Might have to save up for a new one soon.

I've only encountered 3-4 planets that were relatively empty. Most of the had alot of wildlife and forests, once had my ship stuck on a tree. Manage to take out the tree only to see my ship hovering in the air

Currently on a planet with winterstorms up to -107°C with some cute looking animals who all want to kill me.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I've been on planets where all the animals are friendly, or all attack you.

Question. My start ship and the pre order ship have infinite Photon cannon. When I bought a ship it's Photon Canon ran out of ammo. Is that going to happen with every ship I buy, cos I don't like it?

 

[NLxAROSA]

Was wondering about that too, it's saying I need to charge it with oxides, but I can't. And it still fires away quite happily.

It's a known bug actually. Since I have 0% and it keeps telling me that, well was but not anymore after trading ships.
I would assume that in a future patch it will be fixed. Maybe.

Edit: I think, like I did with The Crew. We need our own separate topic for Screenshots/videos.

As long as people put them in Spoiler tags as some threads on GTP crash my phone all the time.

I don't know how many more crashes I can put up with before I completely uninstall this mess. One crash while jumping to another planet, and another while entering orbit/checking my inventory.

Man that sucks dude! I haven't had one crash yet. Does it just lockup? Wondering if it's thermal related. Anyways, hope you get it sorted out. I can imagine how frustrating it is.

The lockups usually sort themselves out. I may have to reinstall the game and see if that'll help, which shouldn't take any time at all.

As a matter of fact I'll just do that. See if the crashes stop happening so often because it's at least once a day now.

You must be on the worse side of the universe. I haven't had any real issues except for that one planet.
Maybe a few quick small hangs mostly with saving but other than that no real hard crashes.

 

[Tired Tyres]

I pre ordered this game and played every day with no problems at all. Today it has crashed so many times I've lost count!

I'm now stuck in a system I accidently jumped to by mistake and it used up the last of my hyper fuel. No problem I though, I'll revert to the prevous save. Crash, crash, crash in an identical way. Very unhappy now.
