That's still the case for the exosuit upgrade bought from the exosuit vendor at every space station, can still buy those with credits. I use the space station vendor for the cheap upgrades and the drop pods for the expensive ones (since those are paid with mats instead).
I always remember being well impressed with weapons that jammed (on purpose) randomly in Far Cry 2 - it added elements of reality to the whole game.
Had a nice expensive fighter so I'm not messing with that. He eventually went to the space station and left the galaxy, did not seem to mind me.
Were you on PC by chance? I saw some spaceship looping around me. So I really don’t know, if so I have the most profound luck.Sort of ran into a player for the first time. He was on my new base planet and only a minute away by starship. I went to check him out but out of fear for hostility I stayed in the air and looped around him a couple times and headed back.
Otherwise, I'm at a point where I'm starting to need a lot of resources so let the deforestation begin!
and I think I will have to delete it and go back to racing games and GT Sport. 👍
In this case it adds choice to the game. You can still get the upgrade slots for money at space stations, but you can also get them for mats on planets. I'm usually stocked up on mats anyway, so it works fine for me.
). Another thing to keep in mind is that freighters ignore star system type while jumping (as opposed to your star ship) so it's worthwhile to use it to jump to a mineral-rich system and setup shop there.HG slowed down the pace too in this update. There are timesinks added in certain places as well as heavier/deeper crafting requirements. But if all you want to do is make nice shots, you can start in Creative and just ignore all the grinding?
I have a feeling the yet-to-be-released events are going to do something about it. And yes, the game is pretty pointless, especially considering
Ahhhh, thanks for that. I knew I was doing something wrong.
I've been having quite a lot of fun with the game. I'm always amazed when I enter a new planet (well, almost always ^^). The unexpected is so freaking rewarding! The fact you know that no one knows how anything looks like until you see see it is such a winner. Of course the game has its shortcomings but I can imagine what kind of crazy things we'll be able to see in the near future if procedural generated games keep improving, especially space related ones!
Yesterday I got a blueprint for a rare item, so I went to the space station to see if I could buy it's components and voilà, a lot of travellers did sell them!
2 items cost around 500.000 units (450 for one and 50 for the other) and I could selo the item from up to 2.400.000 to 800.000 when I stopped. I made myself a billionaire in a gaming session!
Here's a video I made showing what ai was doing. I'm sure there are better ways, but yeah, this worked for me
Because of this, I got my first S class ship! It's a weird looking one (looks like a vertical blade when it's flying and the bottom wing rotates upwards when landing).
Now I'll buy a huge cargo ship so I can mine and carry around stuff to build my base
The Capital ship feature is the one I'm leaving a side for now as it's too dn complex for a beginner. I'll take care of my quests, upgrading my equipment and then I'll dive into it if it's worth it.
I need a multi tool! My ****** one has all 6 slots taken and I can't find a better one. The best I've seen was 12 or 14 slots but I didn't have the stuff to fix it at the time so I skipped it.
The first achivemnt I got to the max level was walking around! I lose myself wandering planets (and moon!). The moon was so fun with the low gravity physics.
Freighter large room. Everyone with a new save really does have to get one as a priority.
Cryopump or Superconductor, Something like that. After 10 facilities I received the Quantum Processor. Worth 4.5M units each. I can actually go back to enjoying the game again and not scouring the Landscape for Facilities.
