Flair says discussion but this is a bounty !

So I just bought a new ship, Shield of the Oharat. The ship itself is nothing special, just a class C fighter with decent cargo space. Not something I needed and definitely not worth the 15 mil units, normally. However ! This beauty just so happened to be colored all black, a favorite design of mine. The unique, sleek looking ship caught my eye immediately and I had to have it because it looked so cool. So I emptied the cargo of a spare ship of mine and traded for around 13 mil units. I was pretty happy, despite over paying, when all of a sudden, as soon as the trade was finalized, the ship loads it’s actual color and it’s baby poop green with yellow highlights ! What a rip ! So if anyone happens to come across that seedy, shady SCAMMER of a Gek called Worker Issga, I’m paying 1 mil for his head ! 😡🤬

Haven’t player No Man’s Sky before, and I’m not into survival games. Subnautica is not my thing. I do love games like Skyrim, Cyberpunk and Witcher 3, but also space combat sims like Everspace 2, traditional X-Wing and Tie Fighter, Star Wars Squadrons, etc. I actually loved Starlink Battle For Atlas and I thought it looked like No Man’s Sky lite, although I never played NMS before.

I’m open to new experiences and love to let a game surprise me. I always was afraid of MMO’s but gave Elder Scrolls Online a chance and loved it, albeit only the single player story experience 🙂

It’s on Xbox Game Pass, which I have. So I wonder: will I enjoy this game? And if so, do you have any advice on how to get invested in any main campaign? Thanks!

Today, I was wrapping up an expedition and transitioning back to my main save when I encountered something quite funny during the tally of my achievements and the calculation of my earned currency. Here’s the thing: while waiting for the completion of the fifth stage of the expedition, I engaged in piracy, looting a significant number of Gek ships. My relationship with the Geks plummeted to around -500. When it came to calculating achievements, there was a section for relations with alien races, and in this section, my currency earnings took a massive hit due to my poor relations. It turned out that I had earned a total of -1 unit of currency.

I was a bit disheartened and surprised to find that accumulating bad reputation is penalized by the game. However, when I transitioned back to my main save, a surprise awaited me – since I had earned -1 unit, it seems there was an overflow in the game’s unsigned int variable, and I ended up with 4,294,967,295 units in my main save. It was a hilariously unexpected turn of events.
