Yes disable engines and you can board. I used that when being outgunned, since you get a combat pause and can regenerate shields. Kill the crew and then you can take over the ship by sitting in pilot seat. I havent seen decrewed/dead ships yet in space combat.

Darkfyre has made some tests. The terrain generates the same outcome on landing but PoI placement can alter terrain. I guess you would get same results land in the same coordinates, but hitting the exact same spot as another player is difficult due to how you do place a landing zone in the UI.
It becomes an issue if you aren't cheesing it with the simulator and relying on actual kills to unlock the C class... Of course I did have the option to continue holding the fire button after they turned blue...Reactions of other ships to you flying the Mantis ship. Never got old
Not that any components of the Razorleaf remained in the ship...
I had a similar issue. I got round it by asking a different character to follow me so she was dismissed, when I came back to her later she was back to normal. Don't know if that fixes it straight away, as I had the other character follow me for quite a while

I rebuilt the
I based a massive cargo hauler (over 50k cargo units, with full cargo boost perks applied, no original modules remaining) on the Razorleaf - it remains amusing to see some antagonists attempt to flee from it, given what it is now.
In the process of acquiring a new vessel last night a couple of the soon-to-be former owners were holding out in the cockpit. I caught one by the backpack resulting in an explosion that cleared the cockpit of all remaining resistance... 
lol - I didn't even know there was a simulator
(I did have other ships for when I wanted to fight)
It can b a bit picky - I've tried landing in the smallest island I can find (when I suspect I'm missing an aquatic fauna) only to be surrounded by rolling hills. And some 'swamp' looks more like arctic tundra. But there is a nice variety and I was pleasantly surprised with the aquatics.
heh - never noticed that
Explains why all of a sudden I didn't need to go buy ammo any more!I started doing that but IIRC you have to have the engineering items on your person (it won't see them in the locker upstairs). On an outpost all the crafting can 'see' all the resources you have anywhere on the base, so once you set up a trade network crafting becomes very easy. But if you want to start a new outpost and need to find items to put on your ship there is no easy way to do that. if only you could funnel all that stuff into your infinite storage in the lodge or something. I'm sure that will be a mod, alongside another to move the store downstairs

So, I finally got to romance Andreja. At some point I decided to take a nap in my captain's quarters. Andreja joins in and the next morning she greets me with "That was enlightening. I'd like to learn...more in the future"
I walk out of the cabin and bump right into Sarah, hovering at the open door (what a creep!). She immediately greets me with "If I can help you with anything, just ask". Uhmmm...okay?

The Lodge has two unlimited storage locations; the safe in your room upstairs is the obvious one. The not so obvious one is a storage box on the table behind the research station in the basement, where you have easy access to your crafting resources. I use the safe for "stuff I want to keep" and the storage in the basement for resurces.

.Oh, didn't you do the UC Vanguard questline? You visit the simulator during that quest. You get it from the dude in the MAST lobby on the left.lol - I didn't even know there was a simulator
The conversation will complete if you always respond with the first choice. Then she goes back to normal.

Box Of Holding?
You mean a big yellow one? I think it is next to the engineering workbench (left of it) below the pegboard. But it gets added at some point in the main quest I think? Where I am now, the small box on the table behind the research station is the only one, I think. I will have another look tonight though.
It's Eridani III. I stuck an outpost there so that's how I know.
I can't find any exploration history in the game. Hmm.
You need to find a landing spot with "Coast" in brackets after the biome name, It can be tricky to find one. Even then you might be hundreds of metres away from the sea. Last time I did it I couldn't see the sea and had to figure out what direction it was and walk for a few minutes to get there.
This is where not being able to fly in atmosphere becomes a bit of a pain, in ED, NMS or even SC you'd just land right next to where you need to be

Ah, thanks! That was my next mission and I was wondering where the simulator was.
Suspicious that any non-atmospheric planet I landed on gave me damage, I found out why I couldn't land on Eridani I and scan stuff: I didn't have my backpack enabled!
Ch-ching, done!
Scanning Eridani I was awesome: I ended up in a volcanic area on a mountain side. It was like Mount Doom - shaking, rumbling, thunderous noises. The fumarole I scanned was terrifying - it had heat waves distorting some of the areas around it and was spitting fire and sparks. I DID NOT want to get close to it!
So this is my first computer game-based RPG and I have to say I am really, really loving it. Considering that I've only visited 8 systems (92 to go) and landed on 6 planets (994 to go), it's massive. I've not even accepted to join constellation yet and have been doing interesting little side quests.
I can see me enjoying this game for years; and the thought of playing again from the start also appeals to me if I ever get to 'endgame', which I can't see me doing for a long, long time.

The other text line after sleeping with her is also hilarious, something about the Great Serpent His Eyes ;-)
I think Starfield sits nicely between the realistic desolation of EDO, and the cartoonish, jam-packed environments of NMS.
The Starfield planets feel like gaming spaces, to me. In other words they are human-designed to be interesting and I can pretty much bet on finding something there -- installations, flora, fauna, etc. The EDO planets are more realistic and often look like photos from NASA or such, but there can often be nothing much of interest there other than the landscape and views.
It's a good design for an RPG. Not so much for a simulation, though.
In any case, it's fun and enjoyable and that's the main thing for me.
