loads of complaining, if you dont like me complaining please dont look at this post!

[Valmorian]

Since this is General I can post this here I guess...

I now kno whow to delete posts, ask a mod!

30 ships. dang it D:

Release next month?
ooh dear..

Not being able to go Third Person is a big deal for me, I mean what is a space game without being able to look at your ship? (And they dare to sell skins for them also...) What is the point off having a cool skin if you can only see it in your hangar? I know they will implement ddrones or something but thats just.... no... just no...

The lack of information given by the game... I mean it doesnt even tell you how to buy/sell items like ships and other modules.
and this is not the only problem I've had with the information given...

Missions,
For some reason I dont understand them...

The control menu while in your ship, WHY CANT I USE MY MOUSE!? using Q,W,E,S,SPACE is the most annoying thing I've ever done... I mean its not that hard to implement the mouse over thing? would make life so much easier if you could use your mouse, you are locked on the screen anyway so it wont screw your camera over?

The cargo scoop thingy.... why? just why? D:
why cant you just give us a menu with all the stuff in it, the only thing I am doing is bumping into it and make it allot harder to get...
(THIRD PERSON WOULD BE NICE, cause you could like... see where your cargo scoop thing is and if the cargo is actually going into it)

Landing.
I suck in landing!

Hope you enjoyed me complaing about a game that is in Beta, I know everything about it.
Just dont bother posting it, they are planning on releasing it in the next month anyway... so you could say its near finish.

EDIT: I edited this post cause it qas quit offensive and well people probably start hating me, my questions are answered I kept a few things in. Thanks allot Commanders!

not like tripple sice off a sidewinder?

I assume you mean triple the size of a sidewinder, well the anaconda is more like 20 times the size.

Do delete a post ask a mod, or

edit post:
backspace all the words
Type 'nevermind'

Cargo scoop you use the radar, which is what you would have to do if you tried to do a task like this irl. If you reverse a car you cant go 3rd person, you use your tools like mirrors or cams. Same with this.

Only Mods/Admins can delete posts! Editing your post by typing 'deleted' (or something) is all you can do.

 

[Tar Stone]

All of your complaints have nothing to do with the current state of the game.

I recommend watching some YouTube videos to learn how to fly the ship and use its systems.

There are a ton of people on here ready to help and answer your questions.

No hate, just an honest response to your post.

 

[Valmorian]

So you say I am wrong in every aspect now? well... not gonna look on this forum for a while then xD

 

[Waldi]

ok just my opinions

30 ships in the official release i would assume more will be in the expansions.

3rd person view dont want or need it, ruins the whole feeling of you being the pilot.

missions well i think telling you deliver cargo to x station is simple enough.

strange i can use my mouse in most of the menus but dont most of the time faster to use keys

Not being able to scrap/repair or take a "ghost ship" Not sure i understand that.

cargo scoop is not easy but after awhile you get used to it.

Landing is easy just dont rust it and line up properly

most of what i get from your post is you expect to be expert in 2 mins and dont want to be bothered learning how to figure it out or learn to do it a way you dont want to so you think its broken.
i am sorry you dont think its worth it but it took me a few hours and some helpful advice from here and TS to figure out stuff but now i couldnt do anything but love this game

ohhh boy..here come the supporters and the detractors!

So you say I am wrong in every aspect now? well... not gonna look on this forum for a while then xD

Was going to help with some of your questions/problems although your thread is... oh well. But thanks to this post and the last words on your OP: nope (and that's a quote).

Seriously: if you were able to land before and now all of a sudden you can't anymore, it must be on your end.
And concerning the rest of your issues: if you'Re not even willing to use the search function, google or youtube (where there's a ton of helpful tutorials), and obviously you don't even care to try the ingame tutorials... well, E: D sure is not the kind of game that spoon feeds you everything and it won't offer a "i win" key-binding either.

*shakes head and starts the E: D launcher*

 

[Valmorian]

CHAAAARGE!

 

[Wavey]

@ Valmorian I suggest that you ask people about "how do i do this?" Instead of complaining that the game is broke because you cant do it .Lots of helpful people here ps what is a "ghost ship" ?

 

[Valmorian]

I spend a fair amount off time in the game I did not expect to be a pro, nor do I expect to become one very soon.

by third person I mean like jsut looking arround your ship whil ein hyper space or in some system, not as a combat thing, I just dont wanna be locked in my pilot seat all the time.

How do you use your mouse in the ship?? D:

Like abandonned ships etc

still dont like the idea off the cargo thing

I know landing is easy, but how slow I go, how propperly I am lined up, since the last few updates I am not able to land without crashing into the ground atleast once D:

Okay to start off, WHY can't I delete my own posts in this forum? must be a new thing I guess...
Or I am way to stupid to know how to... (I even googled on how to delete a post on this forum but it didnt come up with a "helpfull" answer"

One 'trick' you can do is edit the post, then remove the content and edit note of 'Content removed by author'. Not clean but removes.

30 ships.... I mean like 30 SHIPS!? Really? only 30? aah well...
And not even one is a big one... like really big.. not like tripple sice off a sidewinder...

I certainly expect more ships in later releases. Even EVE does that.

RELEASE WITHIN THE NEXT MOTNH WHAT!?
Release is rushed... not a good idea imo

As we don't have the complete release we have no real idea if it is a good ready to play release till we see the final release after Dec. 16th... THEN you can throw mud at it

Not being able to go Third Person is a big deal for me, I mean what is a space game without being able to look at your ship? (And they dare to sell skins for them also...) What is the point off having a cool skin if you can only see it in your hangar? I know they will implement ddrones or something but thats just.... no... just no...

I thought about this before actually, and most game don't go with a 'concept of reality'. If you are driving down the road do you see the car in 3rd person? You need to get that 3rd image from a real location and simply, realistically, you would need a drone following you to see it. We don't walk down the street looking at ourselves from behind... and galactic space mirrors are just a bit narcissistic 3D person is just stepping out of immersion to do something that can't be done.... I CAN see the ability that the cockpit should be able to use external mini cams and generate a 3D view of the space onto the cockpit controls. There are several real world cards that use that now to see the road beneath your POV.

Missions,
what mission? where? how? its probably just me, but I am not able to finish even 1 mission because its simply awfull... they dont even give you a marker or a hint on where to go... its just go to this system do stuff and you're done, well I am able to get in the system, but when I get there I cant do anything, just empty vast space... and yes I am in the right system I am not that

I do think that missions will get some distinct polishing, and preloaded markers does make sense, we do that with car GPS already. And shipments track in pickup (can you say UPS)

The control menu while in your ship, WHY CANT I USE MY MOUSE!? using Q,W,E,S,SPACE is the most annoying thing I've ever done... I mean its not that hard to implement the mouse over thing? would make life so much easier if you could use your mouse, you are locked on the screen anyway so it wont screw your camera over?

I kind of agree on this... although my menus are controlled by VoiceAttack or the mouse side buttons (I user a Razor Naga 2014 for left hand) so I never user the keyboard.

The cargo scoop thingy.... why? just why? D:
why cant you just give us a menu with all the stuff in it, the only thing I am doing is bumping into it and make it allot harder to get...
(THIRD PERSON WOULD BE NICE, cause you could like... see where your cargo scoop thing is and if the cargo is actually going into it)

I already commented on the 3rd person, and you do get a cargo scoop alignment screen. It works in much the same was as a fighter craft landing on a carrier, or in air refueling in real life actually.

Landing.
For some reason I am not able to land, I mean I was able to land, it wasnt even that hard... it was very easy actually... but now it seems impossible? everytime I try to land I bump into the ground, get damaged, do this for 10 min, end up dying in the end anyway... probably just me I guess?

My landing sucks for me too, tried various ways, I eventually land but... ugh. One of the first things I always do is buy a landing computer


So see, your complaints and concerns mostly noted

ok 3rd person view while not being able to control your ship maybe nice but thats about it (would look nice)
havent seen any abandoned ships my come in future who knows
you just have to really go slow while landing its just practice though lots of it in base ship just takes time
mouse just works for me slow buttons are faster

 

[Wavey]

\slaps forehead

There is No third person view from outside ship and has never been planned,you can look around your cockpit tho.
Map the keys ect in config
No abandoned ships ingame
what cargo thing?
Have you deployed landing gear and lined up with the "thing" in your hud ?

dont know why i quoted your post scuzz weird

 

[Valmorian]

Funny how some people are really nice, and some people are like, use google better xD

Even tho my complains are all on my side, well most of em, I kinda dig this community, they are not like really butthurt about aything, I know I came over like a total douchebag, (and I kinda am) but I wanna thank all off you that replied and gave me advice! still I think this game isnt on its full potential, and the releasekinda feels rushed, maybe cause I dont understand this game as muc as I thought I did. might needa look on the forum more often and not at like posts from August (which I just found out)

I'll edit my post so it look smore friendly

 

[Waldi]

it can get frustrating sometimes but your best bet is to ask here for advice or on one of the teamspeak servers usually lots of help and advice available as for landing just practice and go very slowly down

 

[Mikey2305]

nice rant but i think you kind of have to learn how to play it... like everybody else had to

it is a very frustrating and steep early learning curve without a lot of info other than the snippets you get on these forums. stick with it because it is totally awesome...

I can go on for some more time.... but that woudnt be a good idea I guess

These are all MY OPINIONS so if you're not happy/agreeing with them I understand! just dont come and hate on me cause I think these things should be changed. ofcourse you can if you'd like

Hope you enjoyed me complaing about a game that is in Beta, I know everything about it.
Just dont bother posting it, they are planning on releasing it in the next month anyway... so you could say its near finish.

Do I regret buying this game? YUP
as in the state of it is now it defenetly is...
Dont get me wrong I really loved it at first, but getting into it and reading the forum... nope...

So, if I read this correctly, you want this to be like every other easy mode arcade crap fest that's been churned off the assembly line for a quick buck for the last 15 years or so...

How about No.

 

[Rolands]

It feels like this game is meant for people 18+, people with ability to learn, solve problems and patience.
