Indeed. I'm still guffawing about this game being more daunting than Eve Online. I'm sure NMS is a fine game to many people who enjoy it, but at some point you have to be a little more realistic. :D

That I do agree with. I lasted 2 days in Eve Online. Then I decided the monthly fee just wasn't worth the amount of effort I was ever going to put in :p
 
I have spent hours drifting around one planet looking for ships. I found about three. The first two had less slots than what I had. The third had one more.

So with a heavy heart I gave up my semi-decent looking ship and fixed up the launch thrusters and the pulse engines of what I found, and off I went.

After spending more ridiculous time manually looking for ships, I realised that I was wasting my time. And I switched to the legit way - find a beacon thingy, create bypass chip, choose transmission, and so on.

And I came off even worse :( It never sent me to any ships. It was just random outposts with that trading module thing, or more transmission towers, or monoliths.

So here I am - in limbo with my poor amount of slots, with an eyesore of a tube ship.

I'm starting to think that trading and buying is just easier!

I'm not wanting a praise thread. Just a thread void of those trying desperately hard to convince the rest of us its a trashy game.

If you're playing it, then add your input about what you did / what you want / what frustrates you. If you've stopped playing, why are you even here?

We want both sides stories, thank you.

Depends what altitude you are at. Higher you go, the faster your ship. Then once you are high enough you can use the pulse engines to get to wherever you need to be relatively quickly.

Very valid point, roughly 400u speed was the basis of my guesstimate

A friend suggested something similar to achieve this while in your ship flying from within the atmosphere to shorten those '6hours away' waypoints;

Slow right down as much as possible (L2 on PS4)
Aim directly up
Engage Pulse Jump
If it says planet interference, move your crosshair any direction slightly and try again
Rinse and repeat if necessary
Once you see the countdown in the center console of your ship, keep holding down 'pulse boost' for 2-3 second after the timer hits 1
Stop when desired
Aim towards the waypoint and re-engage Pulse Jump with your crosshair directly on the waypoint :)

Handy shortcut to GTFO if you really don't like the planet you're on!

You tend to stop surrounded by Thamium9 asteroids as a bonus to refuel the Pulse Engine

I tend to keep myself busy enough on planet to worry about the faaar away waypoints...I just boost in my ship over the planet low enough to identify structures on the way getting heavily distracted by what ores are available on the surface (Aluminum, Copper, Gold, Emeril)

I viewed the Journey milestones as over-arching universe wide quest objectives. I just wish there were more

Yeah. I love the idea of Eve Online but it becomes a job after a while. The only way I would ever go back to it is if it went F2P or it still exists when I'm retired one day.

The transmission tower is what you use to find new ships. You go into them, interact with the console and do a simple mathematical pattern and it will point you to a crashed ship. Crashed ships will always have either 1 slot more or less than yours.

I did not know this... That explains my frustrations. :erm: Here I am expecting to eventually find a 48 slot ship
 
No wonder the gaming industry is going downhill :sick:

How the f*** could you defend/enjoy this game especially when its priced at 60$ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Possibly related;

Multi-tools increment in 2s

If you have an odd numbered multi-tool (15), you'll generally need to find a 14 in order to find a 16. In my case I had a 17 for at least 12 planets before I found a 16 slot badass model that was worth losing the extra slot only to find an 18 in the next building :whistle:

The cap is 24, and all the awesome skins have been 23s so far

You can, you're just going to have to 'buy' your way up the ladder by buying a ship with more slots every time or find 30+ crashed ships, all of which might have 1 slot less instead of 1 more. :D

I got lucky and found a bugged Tower that finds crashed ships. It didn't lock after use so I just kept hitting it till I had about 8 to choose from.

But yeah, if you want a bigger slot upgrade you are going to have to buy one
 
So I have got
-48 slot exosuit.
-24 slot multitool.
-46 slot ship (after 2 hours of getting -1 slot ships I gave up).
-Done the Atlas path which was very disappointing for me (still not sure what it actually does).
-Got 40 million space bucks which I cant spend on anything (so a bit confused what money is used for).
-Haven't found atlas pass v2/v3 but haven't grinded for it.

All thats really left to do is build 100 warp cells and travel to the center of the universe (hopefully its not as disappointing as the Atlas path)

If that's how you feel, you might as well stop playing now. Trust me, the center is going to disappoint the crap out of you.
