Seriously, this game is a blast.
I'm coming back from a faraway journey, best passenger mission I ever had.
Bring a Famous Explorer with 7 travel buddies to a far neutron system about 2500Ly from Sol, and scanning one of the most interesting tourist beacon I know from now on.
Easy peasy you may say?
Not on my watch CMDRS, this is ELITE DANGEROUS.
Aboard my 42 Ly range Dolphin, I was more than confident.
But without lots of FSD injection synthesis, thanks to the plethora of gorgeous unexplored systems with great places to land, sweep SRV's dust and seeking for Polonium, Jumponium mats and others; this could have been a no return trip.
Even with proper knowledge of far system's exploration, it has been tough believe me.
I never thought it could be so stressfull to navigate in the Galaxy Map, find your next safe jump without knowing if it's the best solution or not.
It's not classical jump/scoop, jump/scoop again and again.
You have to find YOUR way, with valid jump range, with scoopable star, enough synthesis mats to jump/retrace your steps in case of need, and more important without EDDB or third party Plot Routers; just for fun!!!
After the first 2.000 Ly, in most cases, there was only 1 or 2 reachable systems then only 1 and, nope, nothing on sight.
Then, U-Turn, miss, try again!
After hours, finally finding your way to a first Neutron Star and here we go!
Nuff said, no spoilers if you wanna go to this cold and dark region of The Milky Way.
Surely, one of the most immersive space gaming experience on my whole life.
Outstanding!
Thanks F.D. just making this possible for XBOX ONE players. ( and the others, of course [yesnod] )
Work still needs to be done, but congratulations, your game is beautiful and I choose my words advisedly.
