And holy shit is this game good!

Had a really interesting unscripted event, where after completing the first page of the expedition, I was going to find the atlas, the system before the atlas system was a black hole. And I noted that I needed to enter a black hole for a milestone

Figuring I could find another atlas later and hedging my bets that wormhole wouldn’t close, I decided to go in

Straight into a pirate attack on a civilian frigate fleet. Without thinking I jumped into action defending the fleet killing all the pirates.

As soon as the Pirates lay dead I was hailed by the lead frigate to board and be given a reward. I was expecting a sizeable cash reward.

I was not expecting to claim my very own freighter and frigate that early into the game maybe an hour and a half into the save.

I enjoyed the game when it first came out (probably one of the few who did) but not to this level.

I’ve put in 15 hours or so into this latest patch and I have to tell you, it’s mildly annoying at best. Certainly not worth all the hate and nonsense. Two major things were noticeable to me in this patch. My jetpack fuel was definitely nerfed into the dirt and my ships were all jacked up.

I fixed my exosuit slots and aside from the jetpack fuel it doesn’t feel any different to me. I like the fall damage breaking stuff, its a neat little survival thing they added. I think I can live without being able to almost jet pack into space anymore.

Once I got my main ship reorganized the only bummer is my warp range was cut in half. My damage output went from killing stuff in 4 seconds….to killing stuff in 10 seconds. Hardly a difference. The warp distance nerf might actually make me work on my freighter finally and use it for travel. Not that bad. Since I’ve been living in the same neighborhood for 2 years I’m okay with losing 1500 light years off my max.

Multi tools are crazy buffed now since you can basically outfit one with everything and as far as damage output goes…they still shred everything. Not seeing an issue there. On foot combat being half of the reason you even min max mods anyway has remained unchanged in my opinion.

Basically we got easily the craziest buff to inventory space since launch and all it cost was a bit of jetpack fuel and warp distance….is that really worth all this anger? Also I’ve been here since launch and I see this as a new beginning. I think it’s easy to assume an overhaul on upgrades is probably in the works. Give it a minute. Geez.
