It is both a detriment to some and what makes the game so great to others. The fact there’s so many features and different aspects and things to do. The fact even the littlest things are paid attention to and seemingly no matter how much you play there’s always some new little trick or tip to learn. I mean even things like adjacency having an impact on boosts, or how certain classes of ships (like explorer / sentinel / fighter) have better stats and same for multi tools.

For some, being so spread out is a negative because they don’t get to focus on one thing and flesh it out. But to others it’s a game where you can keep finding new things even if small mechanics like that. And I love it. And I can see with continuous updates how far it can keep going

Sigh…imbecile.

I made a joke about collecting an S class shuttle the other day because they are all ugly and no one likes them and everyone is chasing Sentinel ships or classic exotics.

So I was on a Station and an S class shuttle landed. I scanned it and went to talk to the pilot…I have enough to buy it outright…should I? Ah screw it, might as well…

Went about my business, found a dumpy little C class fighter to claim and salvage and went about doing that and default called in my exotic, so I flew it home

So shuffling around a bit, get back to base, call my exotic home, go to call my A-class Hauler home and….not enough launch fuel. WTF. How do I do something so basic and dumb?

Went to a new system to try and spawn the freighter script and nothing. Not too broken up over losing an A class hauler but…it had ALL my crafting mats on it.

I really wish you could beacon your ships and go physically find them. I’m pretty sure what planet I left it on…I think…well, one of two or 3….OOF.

Sucks that I had also just spent half my cash on a joke, the S class shuttle. I guess that’s my new loot mule for now…until I acquire a freighter and call the other one home. I’m mad at myself. I used to be pretty good at this game and my old save has a dozen systems fully mapped, multiple bases, full fleet of S class ships and a well built freighter with frigates and the whole shebang.

I’m determined to do it all again, slow and easy so I don’t get overwhelmed and burned out. I could load it up and pick up where I left off 3+ years ago but meh, I was really having a good time.

Oh…I also, in the last week, got lost in a cave with a new multitool without the terrain digger installed. That was about 45 min of hellish frustration…..
