Because I'm somewhat useless ( not really, but...) I'm struggling to see the difference between "" and "". Now those are both regular Shift+2 quotation marks. I'm not used to having such rich assortment of """"s
Day 2 is usually fly to some debris, mine it, sell what you get, maybe upgrade the engine or not, and always check the quest status. There are several of them, and it may take a while to get to a point where you are ready to do them.
Remember, take your time, and be nice to T'Ris. It all pays off.
I wonder if there is a dice roll that says Seraphine was success or not? I have some odd conversations with her at the hours prescribed, all of them telling me she's still, like, looking for stuff.
Oh, I like the way you think - just, maybe let the "little grey cells" have a lie down for a bit! And a bun. Buns are good.
I agree with your thoughts on Void Field mining. (My first thought when that popped up was to look out for Void Cows. Ahem)
The passage of time is a Thing, and having a set finish time, regardless of when you start does feel a bit weird, as well as compressing the time available for one's evening rounds attending to the crew's needs, visiting the Space Bar (I note that there's no lock requiring an Any Key) and so on. You could say the same thing about T'Ris and her station walks. After the first one for each outfit it takes her all blinking day, rather than an hour, maybe two. What's she doing?
Have a set period, maybe a late start penalty as you said, and the rest is gravy. Or custard.
This isn't an update, so much as a remastering. Breathtaking.
Frankly baffled how you do this much work in the time you have, large outfits with all the devs they can eat take longer, bring less. Still working through the update. Getting a bit stuck on accessing new system. My money is on me herping the derp again.
Graphics seem "cleaner", sound is better balanced. Music is so good - compliments to your composer - but I miss the gamelan accompaniment to battle scenes. Esoteric stuff.
Not sure if you would like me to keep the spells checked, as I seem to be up-to-date now on public release.
I saw the Voron Hyperdrive/ Player Base and wondered if the trading function in the hangar will be part of it, or if it needs other things in place. At present I don't build it - did once, but the dust blew in like nobody's business.
This is a complex game, and you need several things done to complete each step before you can go on to the next level of the quest to return home.
AI Cores are rare, to start with. There are also plenty of other things you need to have in place before you are in a position to go into the junkyards.
At the heart of the game is your relationship with your crew. Then it's your reputation/ notoriety. Which means doing missions, helping freighter captains, rescuing slaves, even drug-running! Building up your crew's trust, seducing them and showing them off is also a part of this.
Be patient, enjoy your crew, mine like there's no tomorrow. The rewards will come!
I've got to the holocastle bit. All I can do is give V her stuff. Is that a feature of playing pre-release, or have I completely derped the bit where I talk to "Space Barbie"?
BB-2 doesn't do that sort of thing. One of the many ways it's an annoying 'droid.
When you are able to go to the Pirate Base you meet the contact your crew has. He will want a favour done, before he lets you do business. Do the favour, come back, and he will tell you you're in, and he recommends someone as an engineer. They turn up while he's talking. Just click on the new person and see what they cost!
Walking T'Ris to Admin for the Revealing Uniform. When you leave the ship there's a black screen with a short time later". In the Racy Uniform you click and it changes to a lovely view of a moon...ahem. In the Revealing one you have to click a second time to get a similar, clearer, view. It looks like the same screen repeats, rather than a double click is called. I could be wrong, though. Anyway, it's a lovely clear night, perfect for lunar topography.
I suspect it's either the table is competing with itself (be this big at this location on the screen vs be scrolled up so I can see what I am doing) or something. It's repeatable, and seems to only happen when you are dealing with items around Gold Ore, which would be the "border" between the scrolled up and scrolled down limits.
If there's something that I can do which is mundane and simple, let me know, I am retired, interested, and have the time! I have no experience with modern coding, sadly.
The more I do in the game the more I like it. This is a big job!
At the Cargo console, buying Wares in the lower portion of the table - e.g. Iron Ore - when you click "Buy" or "Sell" the table jumps. This results in buying the wrong item, as the cursor is promptly above a new item. Obviously "Sell/Buy All" won't be affected. This happens at all locations.
That way you can bring her out for some crucial "we need to make someone think Captain Jennings is still around" stuff. Otherwise she will still be sitting on my bed looking very lonely.
Anyway, that's my Social Engagement Quota met for the week, now I'm joining Galaxina in "Back to Outer Space!"
The fact that there is so much else to do makes the sex more relevant. You are, after all, invested emotionally with your crew, because of the time you spend with them... in the real world. There is another game, almost too difficult to get one's head around, called Masters of Raana. The creator has a similar approach - and you really have to pay attention, think before clicking, before you get to the goodies. Then you have to work even harder to manage all the components to keep the goodies coming!.
I'm older than many gamers (64, thanks for asking!) and grew up reading hard books, playing chess and tabletop wargaming. I find too many games refuse to let us access our frontal lobes!
