    I love how much orbital infrastructure there is in this game. Most space games that I've seen have very little infrastructure, but any large, well-established space-faring civilisation would have a ton of stuff floating around out there.

      @swordarmstudios6052 11 днів тому +22

      I mean it wouldn't all actually be in orbit around each other in close proximity. The nature of orbit is that things don't just hang out near each other.
      In fact - once space was colonized enough - i could imagine entire space beuararcaies being spun up whose hole entire job is to police peoples trash, cuz that much debris in close proximity to a station is actually really dangerous. Less cool haha.

      @@swordarmstudios6052 True, it is a bit crowded, and somebody really ought to clear those asteroids out of the lanes of traffic and keep them away from the orbitals so they don't crash into a refinery and blow it up or something. But it *is* a video game, and that kind of thing gives the game more flavour in my opinion, so I'll accept it.

      Space is BIG. Think of how much seafaring infrastructure there is in any random part of the ocean surface (usually none). Now imagine that the oceans covered the whole planet. Now imagine if that area was even bigger. Now imagine you've got the entire depth of the "ocean" to use.
      I like that there's a lot of infrastructure in this game, rather than a whole lot of nothing to look at, but there's nothing realistic about it.

      @@SnakebitSTI I don't understand what your point is. The areas where Splattercat is flying around in the video are all heavily populated areas. Most of the ocean may be empty, but if you sail into a major port, you're going to find a lot of infrastructure concentrated in that relatively small area.

      @@5h0rgunn45 The big difference is that the stuff in ports is anchored to the ground. Keeping a bunch of space stations and attending infrastructure clustered together in orbit would require constant adjustment burns. It doesn't make sense to have a bunch of stuff near other stuff in space like that without bolting it together.

      For me it's the centuries' worth of random debris floating in each zone, because _of course_ there would be space junk floating everywhere. It would just accumulate over time whenever there's a collision, or someone feels like dumping their waste because they can't be bothered to take it all the way to the nearest disposal station. The space highways from Cowboy Bebop make perfect sense when you realize that they're not for speed or anything, they're just the tiny corridors of space that can be reasonably maintained free of debris.

    I started playing last night. Here are a couple pointers, but no spoilers.
    - when accepting a job, if the starting system is your current one you'll see a little downward arrow in front of the system name. Compare Splats first and second contracts.
    - if you're having issues backing in, keep at it and you'll get there. If you're about to give up on the game drive forward toward the known dock, complete stop, then rotate in place then back up.
    - remember when Splatt showed us the grav equipment? Those stairs can be left in the up position so that your cabin cargo won't invade your cockpit if bad things happen in flight.
    I do wish there was a better way to find contracts when in a system. Sure there are only a few stations, but until you visit, and then memorize which have job boards you'll have to fly to each one in turn and hope that you notice the job board icon when you start to get close. Opening the map then zooming into the system should state which services are available at each station.

      3 things that I would love to know beforehand -
      - You can close the shop/mission window, leave your seat and if the airlock door is closed you can access that shop again. I had that door opened so I was sure you can't open that window unless you undock and dock again... that was pain.
      - You can open cases while selling stuff or in your cargo tab, I also didn't spot that so I was removing stuff from cases manually to sell them.
      - Zooming in on the map is great but pressing X on a system is also cool, you can see what cargo is forbidden so you know where to sell stuff

      You don't really need gravity in early game, so you can leave it off, and leave the stairs up. If you put your cargo containers onto the shelves and then open them, they'll stay. the only thing you have to worry about floating around and blocking your view are the gas tanks and any random goods you haven't sold yet.

First was there's no joystick control; this is an excellent control scheme for joysticks with rudder and throttle control for six degrees of movement. Second was when you turned off the gravity generator to replace the power cell or the control unit, it immediately disabled the gravity; I would like to see a reserve so you could replace things without immediately damaging everything in your truck.

The interior of the space truck reminds me of space movies. The ship gets damaged and the crew running around the ship tinker with things. They say the hyper drive is down, and the engineer on the ship says I can fix it. I often wonder how cool it would to be able to do that. This has potential to just challenge gamers on keeping their ship optimized while the captain is run by an AI. of course there would multiple ship designs and interior complexity. thanks for the preview.

    Tip for those who fly w/o grav on (save those cells!) Put stuff into the crates, then the crates on the shelf. Open the top again, and it will jam against the shelf and prevent it from flying away when the grav is off (still goes flying if you collide with something though). Also, you only need to run a single air filter from what I've seen thus far. Air quality drops hard at 30% so make sure you swap them out then sell the used one to recoup same cash. You can usually find them in the debris salvage - those are good value, as are the stabilizers (4.5K sale I believe).

    A tip for "Just in Time" loads. I drove OTR for a few years, so here's some advice about pretrip planning. Before you take a JIT job check the route estimate and see if you will get there before or within the window (you have to do clock math). If you're going to get there before the window, see if you can route through another system that will add enough time to get you there within the window.
    If all that fails and you still want the job, just spend the time waiting on the window to open by looking for salvage. You can easily make 10x what that load is worth while waiting.
    If you don't have your scanner unlocked yet, just go sail around near the docks and along the edge of the junk in space, that's usually where salvage can be found.

    Docking tip: If you come in crooked, don't waste time trying to pull ahead/swerving to get directly in front of the dock. Just start ahead about 100-150yards, so that you're almost so far that the docking comp stops showing you the numbers. Then do not aim your docking computer target at the dock, aim it to the opposite side of where you are until the dock is on the outer circle. So if you are pulled ahead and to the right of the dock you want to turn your front end to the right *MORE* so that you back up to the far left of the docking ring.
    Then you back up, when you have covered half the distance to the dock (50-75 yards in this case) that is when you turn your docking camera so that it is pointed directly at the center of the docking port. Go slow, practice, it will become second nature.

    Flying through debris in first person will show you a little warning light top right of your speedometer. It´ll start glowing yellow when you get near and go to red when you are getting close to collide. I paired that with the front facing cameras that are mounted on the side thrusters to successfully avoid debris (after I figured out that was a thing). I prefer to stay in first person for games like that so I´m glad that kinda works.
    But I have to agree, battery drain is entirely too oppressive. I would get it if I had selected one of the harder difficulties, but I´m on the recommended one. And it feels like I spend most of my cash in energy cells, UCCs and the occasional (very expensive) air filter. That needs to be toned down. I also witnessed some bugs like loss of UCCs that were inside a storage box. Usually not that bad but in the beginning that is a big loss to your income.

The actual "living inside a ship" motif seems to exist nowhere; either the ship itself is the character (EVE/X2/X3), you're able to walk/talk/maybe shoot and nothing else (Elite/X4), or you're just the crew pushing buttons during combat (Void Crew). The closer we get to maintaining/working/living in a ship, the happier I'll be. Unfortunately, the goofy "road truck in space" aesthetic takes me completely out of it, but I hope success here can inspire future endeavors.

    Well, pretty much anything can be explosive if you try hard enough, but regular helium is one of those inert noble gases that refuses to react with anything, so you should be good.
