  2. so you need about a 100dollars to even buy your first garbage starter ship. jesus this game is the biggest cash grab in modern history and its not even remotely finished and severely lacking content. but i guess virtue signaling gender politics on reddit and twitter is a priority

  3. Your point about not taking the mustang as the first ship for those who don't want to spent too much in the game will soon be outdated. With the 3.17.2, pilot will be able to open the storage unit of the Mustang Alpha and put boxes in it. This means it will be better than the Aurora when the update release soon (the 3.17.2 is in the PTU but not in the PU right now so for now it's still useless for delivery missions)
    (sorry if my english isn't good)

  4. As a proud mustang mistake maker I think a large portion of mustang users will not be trading in game. We didn’t get to participate early on when ships took a really long time to save for. So we’ll be the hired muscle, chilling out in the cargo hold, wishing we could be the caterpillar pilot. Always hoping for an interdiction with a legionnaire.

  5. Oh man that manual magazine system is aweeeeesome. Really wish I could play this lol I also wish more fps games offered hardcore options like that. Where you have to choose between the speed of just dropping your current mag and losing any remaining rounds, with the prudence of putting it back in its pouch and risking the longer reload. That's so great : )

  6. nothing like going full noob making your character and then spending 5 minutes to get up and leave the room… then finally finding your ship, and then dying when you slam your ship into the rafters… 5k… then the wall… then timing out… then somehow ending upside down and slaming into the floor… 10k… then during landing, for maany a noob reason… 5k. etc. i really needed this a year ago, when i gave up. i think i will return.

  7. I just want to say how cool these devs/support/whoever are. I had watched plenty of videos on this game and when I saw it was F2P I downloaded it. I then watched LevelCap’s video and realized where I had chosen to be my home base… I requested a reset, telling them exactly why I wanted to in two sentences, and they rest my character so I can choose a new spawn point. I have my money and everything. Absolute Legends.

  8. Just recently installed and played based on this video.

    It is still an absolute buggy piece of shit. With zealots for a fan base and a developer that should be investigated for fraud.

    It's really sad that this game gets attention from prolific streamers/Youtubers and leads more people to buy the game thinking it's legit.

    Yes, there are absolutely people that love it. There are plenty of people who also loved Theranos.

  9. The worst bug I got while using the Prospector is where the mined materials appear to transform into Inert Materials. Things were fine when I got to the refinery and what got processed was the actual mined materials. Was not able to use Mole in 3.17.1 as extraction mode would not store materials in ship.

  10. I really wish they would do something about the function button like opening doors and stuff to something proximity. It's annoying trying to find a button to press something easy.

  11. Space brake tip. Go into settings and turn your thrusters on with space brake. Then when you hold X, it will engage the thrusters and stop you faster. I want to say it's like "Space brake uses boost" in settings.

  12. Thank you! I'm buying a new computer just to play this game. I'm 70yrs old and have been gaming since the top game was pong! Since King Kong was a spider monkey! This game has me really excited. Need something good to spend my SS money on.

  13. Thinking about getting into this, question for the community, is it worth it as of 2022, can you manually fly your ship everywhere? Like say I wanted to go to a destination do I have to quantum leap? I mean why wouldn’t you just wondering how open this is. Also how much do you have to spend to really be alright
