Btw, there is apparently a bug I fell victim too. I had got a ship /w the upgraded hyperdrive, but then when I went to do the fuel the hyperdrive quest, it wasn't recognizing it. Apparently there is some dumb bug where it can't tell you are fueling a hyperdrive if you have an upgraded one, so you either have to scrap the upgraded one or get a ship w/o one.
What’s the best way to find abandoned buildings?
The really nice thing about this game for me is you can do stuff in 20 minutes, or you can stop for a month and pick back up like you didn't skip a day. I used to think the travel times were horrendous but with space station teleports, hyperdrives, pulse drives to get around planets quicker and the ability to call your ship anyone, it really isn't unreasonable at all.I want to play this so bad that I almost want to stop working overtime every waking hour of my life.
I found a segment at ~ 20 hours that I thought, ok this was ok but it is repetitive and not much going on but then I kept discovering new things and some cool features I liked from other games. Now 72 hours in since the 25th and having a blast.Played for the first time on Sunday. Made a hardcore character right off the bat. Game spawned me in apparently a radioactive wasteland and I died inside of 3 minutes after shields and whatever failed. Second character spawned in decent weather and low radiation. Found my ship, and while trying to figure out how to repair it I died due to surprise acid rain. Third character I actually have made it into space with! I am actually enjoying this more than I thought I would.
Ya I have been growing my fleet. Now I am just grinding units and seeking out specialty frigates as they run about 8-10 million a pop but have ~10 in all 4 stats so I can send them out in missions with the others. I've also been freighter hunting. So the size of them doesn't matter in storage and storage doesn't matter much anyways since you can build storage. What I have noticed though is some have no defenses, some have a ton, some are even reinforced heavily. So I am seeking out a cool looking one, with tons of turrets to call home for good. Still working on the internal stations and missions with the hired dudes.
It's a game at least. If the general concept of the game is appealing to you, it's a pretty decent game. But it's not for everybody.
