No negativity towards the game , I have been playing since release and I think the game is going great, but if I’m going to be honest, there are some things that make me think “If only…”, like:

• The life in the game, there’s not much depth to it, if I meet someone, the most I can expect is a simple interaction, and learn a few alien words. I can’t go out and feel like , “Oh that gek is up to something, let me see what he’s got going..” . Every interaction just feels like a quick touch and go no matter where you are. I want to feel like there’s so much going on around me.

• Fauna feels the same way because every animal is a copy-and-paste. There’s no individualism when it comes down to creatures like, maybe seeing an herbivore, going up to plants and eating them, while watching a carnivore stalk it’s prey, and not walking up to them and giving them a quick smack on the head and digging in. Or a strider using it’s long legs to eat leaves off trees.

• The lack of Hostile NPCs. I’ve had this one for a while, as mentioned above, NPCs offer no depth when it comes to interactions , and that includes hostile interactions. Pirates do not live up to their name because the most they will do is blow up your freighter/ship and fly off. What if pirates took your cargo, and you’d have to find them to retrieve it back? What if they landed on some planet with your loot and you’d have to take them out on foot? What if instead of blowing up your capital ship, they land in your ship to kill you, and your crew, as well as find and raid storage units you have installed, or raid the storages from the Captain?

• Ship depth and interiors, another one I have had for a while, as mentioned above with fauna, it feels like a copy and paste when it comes down to the depth of a ship. You go into a ship in 1st person, it’s the same cockpit, depending on class, but what if you got a ship that made it feel likes it’s own ship? Like Tier 1 ships having a more brokendown cockpit , Tier 2 having a decent, organized cockpit, and Tier 3 ships having a high-end cockpit? Energy distribution was introduced with the Echoes update, and I think they should continue to explore what mechanics they could add to the ships.

• Interiors are another. Haulers, Shuttles , explorers, all have the potential to have a crew, walk around, place items, or sleep in, but its limited to just flying and I think that should be considered. This would work well for rescue missions, as you would find the NPC in your hold while you’re on your way to the drop-off

• No Aesthetic Ambience, you land on a forest planet, no sounds of fauna in the distance, you land on a snow planet, you don’t hear winds , you land on an ocean planet, you don’t hear waves on the beaches, I think planet types should gave their own type of ambience to make them stand out aesthetically

• Staffs being a reskinned multi-tool and the lack of Melee weapons, Staffs are neat addition to the aesthetic of the game, but there’s nothing I can’t do with Staffs that I could do with a Sentinel MT. Even in VR, it is held like a gun, it’s so awkward to hold. I just think they should have more melee capabilities to make them stand out as a staff and not a reskinned MT. Currently, they share the same stats as S class Sentinel rifle, but I think they should have some sort of melee prod and swing to give more options to it and make it stand out

You can also drop a quick tip!

Tip #1: Always try to be doing multiple things. Pick up the portable refiner so you can refine something from your inventory while exploring and mining.

Tip #2: Avoid multiplayer until unlocking the anomaly, can be stranded if not.

Tip #3: Exotic worlds only have 1 fauna so it’s easy to scan all of them.

Tip #4: Need glyphs? All 16 are on one planet here

Q- “I was on the Anomaly and a bunch of expensive stuff showed up in my inventory. What do I do with it? A:” Congrats! Another player has bestowed you with a gift. Most likely it is an item to sell for some quick and easy cash. Usually the item description will tell you what it is used for.

Q: “Help, I claimed a broken ship and now I can’t find my starter ship! Is it gone forever?” A:” If you merely selected to “claim” the broken ship and not “swap” it, then your old ship is still around. If you left it with launch fuel in the tank, you can summon it with the quick-menu. If it does not have fuel, it can be summoned on the Anomaly (once you unlock it), your freighter (once you acquire one).

Q- “Are crashed ships worth repairing?” A-” Unless it is an exotic, no. Scrap the ship at the space station, sell the items it gives you, and use those units to buy a better, working version of a ship in that system.

Q- “Any advice for new players?” A-“For new players, make sure you read the guide in-game. It’s an excellent beginner’s guide for traveling, learning about the alien races, building, and etc. Take a look over the catalogue of items too. Also, I’d strongly suggest mining a massive amount of carbon, oxygen, and sodium. These three items will be some of your most used and critical items in the game
