I've just started playing This early access game again after a year break. I know it's on PC...hence the off topic but I thought it worth the sharing. Must admit (bugs aside) it's got me hooked. Myself and a couple of mates are playing on one of the community servers, which is less brutal than the official servers by a long chalk. As you own kit, the server discord has it's own insurance for your assets in game...believe me, replacing your stuff to save a fresh start is a godsend... the amount of times I've been wiped out during the very steep learning curve is beyond belief [where is it]
Getting used to plotting manual or custom orbits...managing and building parts, upgrades and resources, scavenging, mining...Wondering if that ship on the scanner is a human controlled ship or just another derelict...Are they armed, are they going to rob me or kill me..will they trade for stuff?
Enjoyable few days getting to grips with the game again with a few new features. It's still very early in development but definitely shows much promise. It's the kind of game where docking a couple of modules together is fraught with danger. Going EVA in the middle of a debris storm with a welder to frantically repair ship damage so you can jump to a custom orbit away from it...
My base built out of scavenged bits over 4 days...
(It was supposed to look like this...but I was short of a few bits and not that great at docking them together)
My copilot and mining buddy and a view of the cargo bay inside my mining ship, since I'm a miner as my preferred occupation, same as in E-D...except you cling to giant asteroids with a drill in your hand in Hellion whilst running out of suit air digging for Nitrates for the all important Nitrogen, Ice rocks for the other base element for making air and Regolith for the Helium 3 to power your ship. It's not about making credits...it's about survival.
