Just did my first derelict freighter mission after hemming and hawing over spending 5 million units to buy the map. The tainted scrap is a questionable reward for that, but man oh man, that was a thrilling adventure.

I started it last night and was eventually forced to abandon the mission partway through, but reloaded that save in the morning and completed the whole freighter with less mess than before (only busted open one alien mass). My little Gek traveller wasn’t ready for that level of space horror!

Great, great game. Which is giving me more and more of a fear of mold…

I had watched the launch of this fall flat and disregarded this game. However I heard rumours of patch spam and many improvements so I added it back to my faithful steam library and dived in…. WOW! This game is literally jaw droppingly good! Being a veteran from original Elite right through to ED and anything else space faring … I’d put this easily in the top 3 of all time space games.

The variety is incredible. The learning curve is ok. You can do whatever you want to do….fight, trade, build, explore. The only slight thing is lack of pvp but that’s probably down to the size of the game. It is massive….
