Well I finally did it. Last night I found an extremely well rolled sentinel interceptor so I went all out and duplicated all of my best pulse engine mods and put them all on the super charged slots. Mind you these are just S-class mods and not X-class and I’m playing on Series X which is no slouch when it comes to performance. 3 super charged pulse drive mods and one super charged sublight amplifier. My ship is so fast it now breaks the games ability to load properly. It seems that extremely fast speeds somehow breaks the engines ability to properly load assets. For example if I pulse drive to a planet my ship can make it from the top of the atmosphere to ground level in only a few seconds but for some reason my console will now spend the next two minutes before it finally loads the blank terrain beneath me. Having a slower ship doesn’t create the same problem for some reason. I could imagine that installing well rolled X-class mods would make this problem even worse. I guess the moral of this story is that speed is only good up until your system craps out on being able to load the game properly at which point the wait time for loading offsets the time you saved traveling. Its funny that I have now had to downgrade my ship somewhat so it doesn’t break the game so badly.

Experiment 1: I made a new save to do the latest expedition and I wanted to see if I could visit a base created with my previous save. I went to a system discovered by previous me where I had a base next to the portal. The base was not there. It appears that, even though your bases are always there even when you log off, if you switch to a different save they disappear. I did still have credit for discovering the system, though.
Experiment 2: You know how when you find a ship you like and you hang around until another of the same ship lands, it might be a little better or a little worse in terms of number of slots and/or core stats. I wanted to find out if I got the absolute best of a C class and upgraded it to an S, would it be the best possible S class of that ship. I found a solar I liked and found the best possible C class of that ship and flew it to the space station. After upgrading it S, it still a had good number of slots, but only middle-tier core stats. So, no, that didn’t work.

There he is in Guilford, slouched in a gaming chair, summer sun is setting, glass of Guinness in one hand. Sean is tapping something on his phone. We’re looking for a new update or new expedition soon, right? So what emoji (or set of emoji) do you hope he will tweet?
