The Free Explore mode, thing? It's so hard finding the right system, though.

I don't think you can at this point. You can create custom waypoints but unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way to head back to a certain system that I've already been to. Hoping this gets rectified in an update.

My very first experience with the game wasn't a great one. Flying through the stars at the beginning, really enjoying it, seeing all of the star names pop up, and then CRASH. Kicked to the XMB and had to start again before I even touched the controls.

That happened to me last night when i first booted it up. Was fine second time though.
I've found increased combat damage, a railgun mode upgrade, and improved terrain destruction. I don't know if the terrain destruction one will blow bigger holes in the surface formation of oxides or not or if those are just affected by the efficiency one.
The surface formations kinda suck anyway, I've started to waste my time with them less because they're so much slower than crystals, and generally planets that have big surface formations will be pretty rich in the same crystals underground.

Restart and go?
Haha yeah I loaded it straight back up and didn't have any issues in the 45 minutes or so I spent with it. Ended up on a toxic planet straight away though, and was wondering if my first try would've ended in something a little more forgiving haha

Oh man, there is a lot of overscan with this game on my tv, all the UI goes off screen. I tried to shrink the display area to the maximum in the PS4 settings but it's still not enough and there's nothing I can do with my tv settings.
Am I the only one encountering this issue? Any ideas what I could do?

Had no clue it was 5 in the fucking morning right now. Finally made it off of my home planet, explored a bit of a smaller dusty planet with no life, but very resource rich. Copper and Aluminum everywhere. Just got the quest now for the hyper drive and have docked at my first space station.
About 9 or 10 hours in so far. This game continues to make me feel so happy. I feel like a kid playing Morrowind again, wandering around, not knowing what the hell is going on - only on a much bigger scale obviously. Having tons of fun.

I sure hope so too and thank you for the response!
I am hoping that they also address how odd water behaves in this game (at least on certain planets unless it's all of it). You literally get forced underwater when you hit the surface.

So, one step closer to operational hyperdrive I got an antimatter from a Gex, but I don't have a warp cell blueprint. Hm. For being a guided intro, it sure is vague about what you're supposed to do next.
Well I think they knew before (if?) he got any sleep that the servers were completely hosed. I think they only have one network guy handling the stuff. Handling discoveries is one thing, it's just creating a new database record on the server. But the multiplayer stuff, the servers would have to coordinate the session when people get in range and track in real time. I'm sure the servers were way too overloaded to handle it.
In a way I'm not surprised by the reaction... in every NMS thread we've tried to tell people not to expect real multiplayer, but people take any phrase Sean utters as sotheresachance.gif and spin up all these expectations about co-op with their buddies. I'm sure Sean wishes he had never said there was any MP component now.

Morrowind is the right analogy, we are now officially buddies!
Man this game is so good. It's vanilla flavored at the moment and I've never tasted vanilla like this before, maybe first time playing Destiny only this game actually gives me a usable flying spaceship. So good.

Dammit I need copper.

It was. Still haven't really found a planet I liked yet. The only green planet I've found so far was the one I started on but it was a toxic green with radiation. Most planets I've been on so far have been some variety of red.
I've found a lot of copper so far. A lot of it has been floating above the ground. I've found 0 gold so far though. The only gold I've found came from a ship I destroyed.
But you do love your hyperjumps don't you?
Clever and never gets old. Artistic design and Vangelis like music in this game will give me 100+ hours.
You can, it's just vague how to do it.
Go to the Galaxy Map and hit Up on the d-pad (I think...it's in the lower left corner) to "scan for discoveries." It will spin for a while (quite a while sometimes) and then you'll see it change to something like "Skip to nearest" or similar. Tapping Right on the D-pad will then jump you through all the star systems you've discovered, closest to furthest. When you find the one you want to go back to, make it a waypoint and you can follow the trail back to that system.

People losing their damn minds in that "can you see people" thread. Convinced the biggest whiners have not played the game and have no intention of it.

Oh god the regret of not preordering this is setting in. God damn.
You didn't have time to read through 130 pages but you managed to read through and pick out all those negative comments whilst glossing over all the positives. Ok!
The game is great, for me anyway I'm really enjoying it. I can't wait to get back into it later today.

Just found a ship with 33 slots for 8.3 million units... I only have 2.6 mil.
Same, died twice. Some little crab fuckers kept attacking me too.My starting planet had Acid Rain.
Fun place to start not knowing what the fuck to do
Was a good "tutorial" though. Figured a lot of stuff out.

Guys, if I buy it directly from Hello Games, do I get a key immediately or do I have to wait?

Nothing new. Happens with every new huge release. Some of those people like the thrill of seeing things fail.
Pretty much. I'm quite happy this game is single player.

Here's the thing there are way more people that are gonna buy, play and love the game. people on gaf or rededit are not the voice of the world... not a majority and respectfully they are like the little dog that wants people to respect their bark... so they bark even louder.. one of my friends thats critical to ridiculous lengths text me saying its AWESOME... lol this guy never uses all caps. so i found it funny... so I'm like what makes it so awesome... he says its just too much to type. coming from a guy that once texted me so much in one text it came through in several separate messages.. lol but now he's over gushing that he can't type it all.

I named a star system '1998 Playboy Playmates'. Weird word blacklist.

I think the systems youve visited have some sort of cursor on them?

go to options, there should be a 'redeem bonus content' button to the right side, it'll have you compare your ships first, then hit accept
You pre-order the game (PC?) and when it releases you get a new ship, hyperdrive and 10k.
Edit: nvm what he said
Ahhh don't worry about them, just chill and enjoy. I'm just kicking back and playing and loving it!
Just found a frosty planet, full of snow capped trees. So pretty, and a massive contrast to my starter planet which was bright red with floating islands and giant mushrooms everywhere.

Now the wait for PC is gonna be worse
The PC version unlocks worldwide in roughly 2 days, 7 hours and 15 minutes. There's been no word on a pre-load.
Quoting so others will see. Thanks for this! I was messing with this exact feature too but wasn't sure if it was doing what I wanted it to be doing.
Really started to get worried that I can't find the antimatter recipe
Keep breaking into factories

This current planet is barren and toxic with dead outposts everywhere. It's fun hopping from base to base trying to get the plutonium to keep my suit going.
