If you like exploration... (you might like this)

What if you like Pina coladas and getting caught in the rain?

I have sort of mixed feelings about Exploration myself - I've made one long trip (5,200 Ly) and it was its own kind of fun, but...

From a mechanical, game-play perspective it was the single most tedious thing I've ever done.

I did get to see some very enjoyable sights, landed on some scenic planets, and saw a rather impressive black hole at the end.
And I unlocked Professor Palin, which was the catalyst for making this venture.
I'm hoping against hope that 2.4 brings more playability to Exploration so that it's more than just jump-honk-scoop-select-point-rinse-repeat.
I really want to make a trip circumnavigating the galaxy, but I want to have more to do than just catch up on my Netflix in the process.
 
Beautiful video, great music and nice ship (same painting as I use too lol). Makes me want to explore again, but wont do it until FD fixes the high resolution screenshot problem I am having with VR.

Absolutely agree. More risk would be nice. And more depth too.
 
Can you take decent footage in VR?
Not an easy feat I must say. Screenshot in high resolution doesnt work at all, only crappy ones. Video my first attempt with Mirillis I was quite impressed, however I have yet to learn how to properly control the camera. Other than that I think it captures fine at 720p, left eye I guess.
 
This was pretty much the perfect exploration vid. Some interesting sites, nice editing, and wasn't so long I got bored. 10/10, would watch again.

Yea, I didn't want it to be too long, although I may make an extended version later. :)
