The more I read about this game the less I want to get it. I was waiting for the pc release Friday.
Spoilers here, but if it's true I'm just going to spend my money on something else this weekend.

Then don't, but don't spoil the end of the game for yourself then bitch that it isn't good enough when you haven't seen it or taken the ride getting there.
Some things are more about the journey than the end goal.

So I started over last night and am VERY glad I did. I may have run into the quest lines anyway, but I doubt it. Once I started over I did everything without using the DLC ship first. I met with the first Atlas, and met the other two guys of which one gave me an Atlas unlocker thing from two guys later. I am following the Atlas path. I now have to visit the second Atlas and this is where, since I know where to go, I am comfortable in a 4 planet system and it's time to explore, upgrade, and get ready to rock.
I read a few posts here. When I died to a pirate I went back to my corpse and got it all back. Are you guys going back to where you were blown up to get your inventory back? Or did I miss something where when I went back, I still lost valuables?

You don't lose anything if you go back and retrieve your stuff. If you die again while on the way it's gone for good tho.
Don't believe it matters.

Here's the thing, if you like the game the ending doesn't matter and you try to avoid it.

From what I've read you can start over until you get an Atlas station in your starting system. I'm not sure its really a big deal but in my case it would of cut about 8 to 10 jumps off. Honestly it doesn't really matter all that much because all it did was front load some exploration and crafting for me. My suit was already passed the 120k? mark I think when I hit my first Atlas and even then 2 jumps more until I go the unlocker. I'm following that path now because it seems sort of interesting with the seeding implications of that story but we'll see.
My current play through has been really enjoyable. I'm farming a bit of stuff now because I want to upgrade my ship to one of the 1.5m or so ones in the space stations. 24 slots IIRC. That will give me enough so I don't have to juggle inventory quite as much and just roll with stacks of most of the normal rare stuff needed.
This game isn't for everyone but it also isn't a shit show. I have no regrets buying it.

I just found Nada and Polo in a Space Anomaly space station while en route to an Atlas something or other after getting the Atlas rock. I'm assuming when I get there I get the Atlas thingy that you can construct to unlock Atlas doors and containers etc.
They (Nada and Polo) offer to assist you directly by giving you resources for your solo journey, or to teach you how to harness black holes to warp faster to the galaxy center, or they'll point you on your way back towards Atlas. That conforms to my hypothesis that your three paths forwards are Atlas/Nada & Polo/Self guided exploration
Another thing to know: A lot of these guide beacon quests trigger upon warping to a new sector, so if you feel stuck/forget what path you're on, try warping around a bit.

Verdict is if you like single player space miner and explorer, its probably a buy.
If Elite Dangerous + Starbound without basebuilding sounds like something you would enjoy, give it a shot.
If that sounds as fun as going to the dentist to have a cavity drilled, then don't buy it.
PC release is tomorrow at regular Steam release time 1pm EST 10 pacific.

Here's a tip on how to stack rare items:
Lets say you are making a Advanced Cooling Theta Photon Cannon for your ship. It takes Thamium9 x200, Chrysonite x250 and Gravitino Balls x10 - normally all 10 balls would take up 10 slots.
• Install upgrade on your ship
• Make sure you ship has 3 available inventory slots and DISMANTLE the upgrade.
• In those 3 empty slot you will get Thamium9 x100, Chrysonite x175 and Gravitino Balls x5 (half original cost)
• The Gravitino Balls will stack and show 5 out of 100
• Move that to your inventory boom now you when u find balls they will stack to that pile
When selling them always leave at least two in the stack to keep stack alive, now when find or purchase Gravitino Balls they will stack.
Works with all rare items. Yes this means you will craft some upgrades for no reason at all. Yes it will still be worth it for the inventory savings. This becomes even more valuable if you are aiming to save up 10 unstackable Atlas Stones for the "end".
However I do expect a patch at some point to either break this or fix item stacking in the first place.

I have only seen reports of 100 but unsure if it changes depending if you're storing on ship or on your person like normal items.
I just found a planet that I appropriately named Gravitinoville and I'll be testing shortly.
Edit - K Kedwyn - I just did the example combine and it worked as described. Since the upgrade/dismantle take place in your ship's inventory the question of what it stacks to ended up being irrelevant. It's 100 and that doesn't change if you swap back and forth from personal to ship.
I am now considering staying on this planet until I have 100. They are everywhere but picking one up immediately deploys combat sentinels >.>
