I struggle with the radar your given at first, I don't like how everything is grey, so struggle with acquiring targets, and find it hard generally to work out what is what in your surroundings.
Have fully upgraded my first ship and have just purchased the next one. Loving it so far. Hooked!
damn it....... you guys have got me really interested in this game..... I just dont think i would get hooked without it being in VR though....
Good to see that the epic launcher didn't burn my house down or spill my pint either.
Yeah, I've just done that as well.
It's not much of an upgrade. Slightly quicker, one more weapon mount and slightly more storage.
It's a shame you can't upgrade that to level 3 powerplant/cargo storage/shield. None of the ships seem to be a massive upgrade over the starting vessel though, they all have compromises - generally to do with manoeuvrability or cargo space.
This has caught my eye as a nice easy going pick up and play space game versus how grindy things like Elite are. Can't quite work out how good the graphics are from youtube videos, does it look good in motion, also is there Ultrawide support? Is there much in the way of ship customisation?
Graphics are decent, but you look out through a small cockpit view or from behind, and it's quite fast paced so you don't have much time to take it in, as such.
I've shot lots of fighters down but don't have a good handle on what they look like up close for instance.
Why do you need to do this?
Just adjust the settings on the launcher screen, along with all the other graphical settings.
Mining can bring you in a nice chunk of money.
Just upgraded to the big momma ship (can't remember the name) and went mining in it.
Left everything that wasn't at least worth 4k, so travelled to the nearest port to sell off 34 tons of good stuff and got waylaid by about 10 pirates and 2 pirate frigates.
Boom.
Dead.
40 minutes of careful mining wasted...
Apart from that Alt-F4 rage quit, mining has been good to me I've even started looking on the map for potential mining belts not showing up automatically.
Fair play to the devs.
For a five man team, they sure have been quick to update the game with patches.
