I found a planet packed of gravit balls (more than 20k each) on the surface lol, they are like everywhere, and everytime i get one many sentinels come after me.
Time to farm!
Time to farm!

I saw this backlash coming a million miles away. Every preview thread for NMS had 100 jackasses going "yeah, but what do you actually do? Where's the game?"
I knew before the game was released that the multiplayer aspects of the game would be minimal to none, and now we have a 100 page thread of people ripping a game that half of them haven't even played to pieces because there's no multiplayer aspects that we know of.
There's criticisms to be made about the game, but these threads have turned into a parody of gaming outrage culture.

Holy shit, been playing since I got home from work and it's now 1am. So addictive - only on my third planet. Absolutely amazing game.
Yeah man. That BFG-esque gun that I picked up has noticeably tighter aim and is much more powerful than the tool everyone is familiar with. I got it off the wall in an outpost.

Disappointing that it's not exactly like an entirely different game?

Same here with the nickel. Big asteroids seem to have it.
Aluminum has been pretty scarce. Green shards like emerald. Usually found by plutonium or has been for me.

6PM GMT. Sean said he was "aiming" to release it at that time. Not very reassuring.
Do we know if that will give a boost putting them next to one another?
Also a complaint...let me see my schematics even if the inventory is full Hello Games!!!

Yup, moons that are close to their parent planet make for awesome screen shots.

Come to the Boehmhaus system? I had a planet full of both Nickel and Aluminum boulders... Just have to keep looking I guess.
If anything it should look cleaner with hopefully less pop-in. Hopefully. Wonder how people can hack it too.
I'm going to Boston this weekend, gonna be withdrawlI have to go out of town for a couple days, so tonight this will be me playing NMS. At least I'll get to warp for the first time.
I'm surprised to hear people saying the upgraded mining laser is better in dogfights. Seems like bad balancing if they've made industrial equipment better at combat than combat weapons.
And I dunno about that. It mentions "weapon" first.
The way I saw it was that the phase beam is your more powerful weapon needing a charge, whereas your Photon Cannon is your basic, unlimited shot. Though it's weird because people are having this bug with the Photon Cannon saying it needs to be recharged (yet still working) so who knows.
I've actually found it better to use the Photon Cannon for mining. It's unlimited and you can fire off a wide spread of shots to hit stuff in the time it would take to fire just a couple of phase beam shots. It's also preferable for hitting stationary targets like turrets and containers on the big ships, the phase beam is very sticky and can draw aggro from a side you don't want to disturb.
Was up to 3am the day I picked it up- made work the next day a little difficult..
The funny part is I find the photon cannons pretty useful for mining. They destroy the large asteroids far faster than the phase beam does even with coolant upgrades.

Yes, I remember reading that recently but I thought it would start counting from the caves.
No, disappointing because almost all the caves I've found are shallow. I used Minecraft as an example, could've said Terraria, Starbound, any of them.
Yep, they give boost. Put e.g. all mining laser upgrades next to each other and so that they touch mining laser point and you will get bonus boost(s). Yesterday streamer redid his upgrades like that and mining laser got ~75% more powerful.
XYXX or XXYX etc., also vertical and zigzag placements work.
X = Upgrade
Y = Function to be upgraded
oookay ?
hey I said that too! I am wondering if the photon cannon becomes a more formidable weapon with some key upgrade tech.

I don't get it? Why did you reply with that.

This game is going to be a cult classic. I don't think I'll ever tire of burning through the atmosphere of a new planet and becoming completely engulfed in its glory within seconds (or in some cases, horror). I think one day in the near future I'm going to end up forcing myself to stay on the next nice planet I find and just roam around and go caving.
Everything else is icing on the cake for me.

DAMN!!!!!
Ok so, I kept exploring this planet because I refused to believe that the noises were cues to find caverns (they're probably that but I don't want to believe that so I'm doing my best to hold onto something that helps me to sustain my theory) and guess what!!!!
I've found new evidence that points towards living beings of some sort on this planet!!
So, let´s start:
This is how my planet looks like, this is how big the caverns are:
So, traveling around searching for clues I stumbled upon a monolith and this happened:
"The voice of an ancient tribe shakes the ground I stand on"
Cmon I can totally asume that the sound I hear is coming from some ancient beings that inhabitated the planet once, I mean even if I'm wrong there's nothing in the game telling me that I am.
But wait, there's more!!
I found this crashed ship with more data:
It says it was attacked by something, whatever it was is long dead now, that's how my quest ended but I can asume that either the hunter was drilling the planet in search of trophies or some monster used to live there.
So yeah, tell me to stop dreaming, cmon!!
Shot of the ship that's actually my new ship (have to fix it though).

So, bars in the space stations - has anyone seen one yet, because I haven't.

Spot on, it's a PITA when you need to farm stuff to craft something and you have to empty some slots just to see what you need.

I kinda wish the controls for flying the ship were different. The way they are now is pretty similar to Battlefront. Having roll on the shoulder buttons doesn't feel too great. I'm getting used to it alright, but it definitely could have been better.
There's really no reason to have the right stick relegated to look while in-flight. It seems wasteful.

Yes, the last station I was in had one. I should have tried interacting with it.
I saw one in CohhCarnage's stream yesterday. It was very... basic, but had neat NPC interaction.

Was just going to post that flight controls feel awkward as fuck. Any tips? Just left first planet.

This. This shit has me crazy intrigued. Please report back and spend my money for me.
I just saw one for the first time in my third system. I was surprised to find a bar lol.

This thread seem pretty positive
yes, MegaSackman, I am loving this!
Ok just got home, back to playing, going to try to get Aluminum for the Warp Reactor Tau.

Those texts are randomly picked, though. The noise is simply to add ambience, and that it plays on barren planets is probably a bug.

HOLY SHIT. You guys I just have to share this story with you all. You probably don't remember but for the last couple of days I have been searching my starting planet looking for my starting location. When I first took off from there I didn't use the distress beacon and have been fretting ever since whether or not I would miss out on something later on by not accepting Atlas' guidance. Well guess what just happened?
When all hope of finding my starting location was lost and I was about to leave my starting planet for the final time, I landed at one final outpost to say my goodbyes. Heading inside I find a control panel with a series of numbers tracking the faint pulses of a distress beacon. I input the correct number in the sequence and was given co-ordinates to the beacon of a downed ship. I leave the outpost and take off in my ship but the location is on the other side of the planet, a good 30 minutes away with my boosters. I leave the atmosphere so I can use my pulse engines which makes short work of the distance.
Coming in to land I notice a nearby monolith so I thought I would head there first. After landing I noticed that it has already had it's knowledge extracted. Slowly heading up the hill to the distress beacon I get a sense of deja vu. Cresting the hill, the sight I saw was unbelievable... ... It is my starting location. The ship is gone, long since abandoned for something better but sitting right there, is the distress beacon with an offer from Atlas for some guidance... Wow. This is insane. What are the odds of that ever happening again?

Spent about 10 hours with the game and loving it so far, even though I've only been to two total planets and the nearby space station. For some reason, I'm addicted to finding the last of the eight species on the planet. Spent nearly 20 minutes wandering away from my ship and now I'm regretting having to make that trek back.
BTW, what is this about a bug with using a pre-order bonus ship and not getting the drive needed to leave?

I think it will too. Marketing did an excellent job of selling the dream of the game. If it continues to be supported in the near future I can see it selling quite a bit.
There are little bits of lore and unusual interactions like this scattered all over, but you have to remember that none of this was placed by hand. It's great for putting together your own stories of the history of a planet like that but there's no finding out "what really happened" if that's what you mean.
