Hi folks,
I was a fairly casual player having limited free time and tended to just potter about myself mostly on solo.
I played since maybe 2014 or 2015 occasionally and stopped a couple of years ago maybe 2022. Mostly as got busy in life and also got a bit fed up with lack of structure in the game, grinding transport routes for money and just didn’t get very far at all in respect of ships/equipment, depth of knowledge of the game and skill.
You get what you put in I suppose.
Anyways, I watched a few video’s on you tube recently and decided to start the game again. Was expecting a massive download but it updated fairly quickly.
Fired up and went into legacy mode not realising it had split and then did the update for live mode after essentially wasting a day of playing it and progressing.
Am now in live and enjoying the depth of the game. Of course I knew there were loads before but it didn’t seem to have any structure.
I never got into engineers so will do that now, also wasn’t a huge fan of horizons (well the SRV, don’t mind planetary landings) so I doubt I will do the fps stuff in odyssey. I just like flying around, exploring mainly and blowing the occasional thing up!
Have to say power play is vastly improved, seems a bit more intuitive and less ‘grindy’. In fact it’s fair to say that as a whole about the game.
Was a bit wary on pc requirements as I have an old machine, it used to run everything pretty much maxed. Have relaxed the settings a bit to preserve frame rate, have two cards but SLI not supported in game, I don’t even think nvidia support any more.
Anyways it still looks good and I get max frames in space with some slow down in station and busy areas. Am not running 4k or multiple monitors so 70/80 - 144 fps is not bad!
Bought an eagle the other day and fitted it out, had great fun with it having skipped it before.
Great addition to sidewinder (bought again after selling first one), cobra mk III (because why not), type 6 (money maker) and asp X already in the fleet.
Am now concentrating on optimising these, mostly by reducing weight and getting the right parts. Will be getting a vulture soon as my combat ship, although the eagle is great fun but it lacks a bit of firepower and strength.
May the frontier be with you…
