not only fans. i doubt there is any sane person which can trully enjoy this poor excuse of a space game.

I know one person claiming they love it and cant put it down, they did the same thing for Rome 2 as well. Pretending they experienced no problems at all with either game

Previous games also weren't designed entirely around using a 360 controller (though I don't think you can even lock on with one).
There are multiple complaints about joysticks being... problematic currently at best.
But.. I mean how could they have known that people would want to use a joystick...

Still nobody know where one can buy ships? I even tried to land on one to talk with the captain for coming over, and still nothing.
Sure, it gives me one right off the bat in story, but sandbox is nothing more than doing random mission over and over at the moment.

and the vaporware award of the year goes to ....
seriously, the more i play, the more i see the flaws and the shallowness in this game. It's borderline (borderline, fuck it, it IS) insulting.

I really start to wonder if these features are just buried under a ton of convoluted consolified shit, or just didn't make it to the release build. The fact that not a single ship/npc knows where to find a ship dealer speaks louder than anything.
EDIT: not sure why I bother anyways. It seems trading is a freaking baby sitting job anyways. You have to go to each pickup/dropoff point on stations to queue up freighter tasks. Gone are the days of having a fleet of traders.
I shudder to think how they managed to fuck up station building. Not like I found anyone actually doing it yet on the net, but still. They look gorgeous, I would love to have my own, but oh boy am I skeptical...

After talking to him, after a few seconds the lighting should change from the usual blue to bright orange, after the jump is finished. That's when you need to get back into your ship.

that was the mission before, when you go board the big ship and all the fighting happens. I'm past that.

the guy on rock paper shotgun is/was stuck at the same spot lol. I probably just give up on the campaign and give sandbox a try.

im a space-sim newbie so i cant say that i like this game or not. just started and wanted to be a 1-man-army doing this or that. buying cheap, selling for more, completing the crew, upgrading ships, killing bad guys and helping good guys. never played any other space games like that so i have only my dreams and expectations. right now i spent 2 hours with campaign, driving through all these highways, finding someone, recruting someone. Now girl's told me to find an engineer just after i saved my tradeship. i somehow find a mission giver which asked me to do something. Ofcourse i travel there and i realized he asked me to damage one ship o_0 or at least marker shows something that can be destroyed. then alot of angry ships came for me and then i died.
Conclusion is that space overwhelmed me by its size or at least ive been deluded by that size. its definitely a game for everybody. im going to try it once again because that overwhelming feeling of being a small piece of spacescrap is somehow fascinating.

every ship you dock with seems to have the same interior, the same objects inside, the same lootable containers... this is REALLY REALLY poorly designed

You need to find a dock with a ship icon, it looks like a small ship. And dock there, there will be a ship builder you can talk too.
To automate trade you need a station, then hire a manager and tell him what to trade and with which ships.
It's still an X game, it's just sort of hidden away  |
