CMDR Kneller, 50 hours in and...

[Shadowsnog]

my stats are not very impressive, except this one ^^

 

[JustKneller]

uhhh...

Well, I certainly wasn't mentioning 50 hours like it was something impressive, but I think it's enough to get a solid first impression.

Nice, I never noticed the stats screen on inara, though I knew about them in game. Never really noticed this before though...

I guess now we know what I spend most of my time doing

Once you get a taste for the best gear you can get there’s just no turning back

I’m not sure if my stats may have been messed up with some lost logs over the years, maybe when I’ve switched PCs. I’ve got billions that don’t seem to be accounted for in my stats, that or my smuggling is so good not even Inara picks up on it

OP - Great to hear a new Cmdr who’s worked out early how to enjoy this game.

It's already been said but to reiterate, best £6 you'll spend this week

You're too late. I already bought it today. Holy hell! To everyone that recommended it, you were right. I have few complaints about the base game, but one is that all the ports feel "dead" and it's just a collection of menus. With Odyssey, being on base is so much better and more immersive.

Just brace for that vertical learning curve - I'm confident I'd find it overwhelming if I came to the game new now.

Spoiler: It can become more a way of life than a game!

Plenty of help floating around on the forums though, feel free to shout out.
You've seen how we all enjoy a laugh!

If I had found this game before I met my wife, I would not have met my wife, or ya know, any people from that point forward.

Not me. I looked at the newest ship released this week and I thought to myself. Do I really want to do the engineering rat run again? Just for the sake of another OP ship? The answer was no. There was no point to it for me. That's not content to me at all.

Are you talking about the Panther Clipper info or have I missed the release of the previous ship as a credits purchase? With regard to engineering rat run, it’s now more bother (IMO) to visit the engineer for an experimental than it is to collect the materials - the mat buff completely changed that grind for me. Of course, opinions vary so I respect your decisions and choices.

The Corsair was released for credits this week.

That had completely passed me by, thanks for the info.

It seems to be a very stealthy ship.
