This game is nice! One thing I find a bit frustrating is that it is soo luck based. And I'm not talking about the dice, no, I'm talking about the random interactions on your journey. If you don't get some good crewmates, you're out of luck and sometimes you have literally no chance to get them, until it's too late.

So it would be nice if one could maybe have more choices as to what event to meet, like you sometimes have, or to have some sort of map, telling you broadly what is to come, to prepare yourself better.

Still a very nice game!

100% agree! It's been by exact pain point with this game since the very first versions and I've been trying to make it less so every patch. And the upcoming 1.2.0 patch is no exception! There will be several new ways for players to have more control over the upcoming events. I'm also nudging the numbers a bit that for example the further along you go without any crew mates, the more likely it gets to encounter events granting you one. Of course these will not completely "fix" the randomness but I'm pretty positive it'll make it less of a luck factor whether or not your run will do well.

might be nice if there was a grantee to get a positive event of some kind after the first encounter, just to help get runs going.

That's not a bad idea. And especially now that I'm introducing even more events on the upcoming patch, it'd be nice to guarantee more of a "normal" event that gives you a crew member or more cargo to start with.

newgame+ options that help streamline your starting setup in new games could also help

Like what? 🤔

for newgame+, it'd be some kind bonus that you unlock after completing a game, then can choose that bonus at the start of new runs afterwards.

As a hypothetical example, there could be a few relics such as

extra supplys, you start the game with 1 extra supplys
spiced supplys, one of your starting supplys is spiced
armored supplys, one of your starting supplys is armored, but can only be rolled to be 1-3

then you might unlock these at the end of various games, and you can choose one of these boosts at the start of new games
