Commanders, o7
Returning to the helm after 30 years. Disappointed to find out that my prized Cobra and that my prior ranking, 'Elite Archangel', are now obsolete. However, I'm nback in the black with my newly engineered Krait and looking for new stuff.
And that's the problem; I cannot find anything. I'm a few thousand ly from home but every system I arrive in seems to have been discovered.
-how can I tell, when I first arrive in a system, whether it's been discovered or not? Currently I'm opening the system scanner and mousing over a planet but is there an indicator on the dash, or in the nav panel which I'm missing?
-Is there any way to quickly know if there's something interesting in the system: vulcanism, guardian ruins (what else)?
-can I tell if there are any other commanders around? I'm on Xbox (why on earth isnt this cross-platform?!) and the galaxy seems pretty empty.
I doubt anyone can help with this but...
What's with the high wake loading screen; endless gas clouds swirling past? It looks like a really bad loading screen, is non-immersive and, when there's 10's or 100's of jumps to go, get's pretty dull.
I was hoping to enjoy the trip through a nebula; watching it grow ever larger until it wrapped around and past me, but no: there's nothing but just repetitive swirly graphics. I would have thought that high waking would be an opportunity for Frontier to show off the scope and scale of the galaxy: to have stars going past, nebula arising and falling; to give a sense of travelling and of exploring. I dont even understand the effect on the ship; I imagine that in frame-shift there may be disruptions which prevent some things from working but why can I not access the nav panel but I can access other onboard functions?
