No dust in the rovers wake. No tracks in it's "tracks".
It's like it's not even there. Just a ghost moving around.
What a waste.

SARCASM AHEAD.....Watch your step..

I know....it's crazy that I cannot make methane snowballs or a snowman, which should persist forever, or do a powerslide and cover another rover in ice\snow shavings....

I'm sure it's just a couple of lines of code but FD cannot be bothered to do it before the beta releases because they are just in this to mess with their customer base.

storing tracks on a persistent basis seems to me just impossible in terms of data storage ( think number of planets x players x scale etc ) what can be done ( and i guess relatively easily ) is to store them while the instance is alive.
now do we rather have tracks than thargoids? than comets and qasar? than landing on planet with atmosphere? than more diversity on mission and bases? than ui displaying the selected path on the star sith ther names? than a proper 3d rendering of the planet system map? i guess you are getting my lead, for me this would be nice but should be at the bottom of the pile.

For all I care, it could look like FFE in FullHD Resolution - IF the content makes up for it ;)

It's brand new and they're tweaking it all the time. And it won't be "final" when 2.0 goes live, nothing unusual.
So even if the surfaces look like DirectX5 with a BumpMap using quickly vanishing particle tracks like 15 years ago to simulate the dust... we'll see how far they can push it with their Engine.

It just isn't the latest CryEngine, Unreal Engine or alike, so expectations shouldn't be made too high.
