Talking about mechanics and stuff.
Well, I started mining. Played for two days.
Here are some major things I've noticed.
1. The CARGO tab in the interface at the right. Okay, I cargo-scooped the fragment, and then opened the cargo tab to get the "Refine" and then "Eject" functions. There is a little problem with the "selection". When you are refining the fragments - you always need to reselect this tab (if you don't have cargo in that, but you have some ores being refined). Also with some items in your cargo you need to reselect the items and then back to refining options to actually select these options. This is a little distracting moment when you are in the mining process. So you always need to jungle those tabs and reselect your cargo items.
2. There needs to be a DEFAULT SCANNER SCALE tweak in the control settings. So you always have to fix your scanner range after each supercruise.
3. Player ships needs to be marked/highlighted somehow to be more noticable from the big list.
4. Smaller stations seem to be a problem to dock to when the amount of ships around is more than slots. Sometimes people go afk on the stations. So maybe there can be something like a "row" or some availability idea for that. Otherwise it have been a grean pain in the ♥♥♥♥ for me to get my mission done while a group of dudes just afk on that station... Maybe we can have something like communication for the ships being in the near space. In example 10kms. Even in life circumstances - it's possible to report your mission from the space and not dock with actual station.
5. Some interface color palletes can be a nice idea as well as the option to make it just white\gray. BTW that interface brightness is a cool function! yey
6. The Notification(Info tab) in the top right corner of your interface can be opened and scrolled like a chat tab. Or maybe I'm wrong and it is already can be viewed.
7. Sound. I think at the same volumes - the music is too low. I'm polaying with music at 100% and other sounds at 50% and the music is still kinda low
8. Oh and some thoughts about chat and friends... Is it okay that we aren't able to search any pilots just by the nicknames? Also I've messaged one dude once via DIRECT chat, and then I couldn't find any option to switch it back to LOCAL. The chat (and friends) tab needs to be more user friendly.
Thank you for this game. It's like watching "Interstellar" and be the actor there.
P.S. I will be posting the next parts of feedback about deep mechanics from time to time, just reply me if you'll find it useful.
