Yes, this time with scores. And shame gifs.
I bet it feels great tho.
Yeah I love the call beacons. Taking off from a Space Station obviously also doesn't consume any thrust.
I'll add it to this post at least: Beginner Tips and Tricks
Try to use observation stations, with the little puzzles. They frequently flag up downed ships for me.
would (and probably will) do again

oh yeah? didn't notice. sure you're not just seeing lack of antialiasing?
here's a minor tip for uploading discoveries - just hold down square and pan the cursor around. makes things a bit quicker.
Wow. Unusual play approach. I can see how the game would be disappointing if you played like this (not disparaging you).

Third night of play last night and I finally find some suit inventory upgrades, three within like a half hour. It's feast or famine out there! Even three more spots is huge though. Still running around in the starter ship, slowly building my funds to get something better. Game has really gotten under my skin.

Am I seeing things?
no you're right, in scan mode. my bad.
Haha, yeah like literally the greatest one ever
In general gameplay in the distance/edge of the screen you can find CA. I hate the effect.
Dont think thats scan mode

Very nice, did not know this.
If there were loading screens in this game they should be putting this kind of stuff in the tips.
I can't believe I've played a game for 20hours in 4 days.
That was basically all my free time this week.

i dont have the game yet, waiting for PC. But why does every planet ive seen pics and videos of look like LA with a thick layer of smog? Are all planets like that? Is it due to limitations?
Probably a way to limit render distance, which hopefully is unlocked on PC.

Just spent about an hour repairing a crashed ship on a planet. Had so much fun and now I've got a couple of Hyperdrive upgrades all sorted out.

I finally found a space station that has a terminal that buys Dynamic Resonators for +97% of the average. Spent 30 minutes buying and sell them. Made 2.6 million units.
I found my goldilocks planet last night and now I don't want to leave. Perfect temperature, no toxicity, abundant life but no major predators, and it's the most beautiful planet I've found yet. Looks trippy as hell. I dubbed it Faroutmahn because the description of the planet sounds exactly like the description of some dank weed.

Yeah I love the little hunt for spaceship repair stuff. Feels so satisfying when you get one going!
Just got done visiting a planet just like that (Gravitron). Made a million credits in less than an hour.

Going away overnight, and then out to celebrate a pal's birthday tomorrow night, so won't be able to play again until Sunday. :-( After being annoyed that I couldn't find my starting system again I finally did last night (guess the servers finally woke up), and I'm currently back on my starting planet. Silly thing, but it felt damn awesome to be back there. Gonna 100% it (which I don't think I'll ever bother doing with more than one planet, so I wanted that one planet to be MY planet), discover the one or two planets in the system I never visited before I left it the first time around, and then it's off to do Atlas and center of galaxy stuff.
Been playing for something like 10 hours over the last two days, and so far I'm loving it, repetition and all.

20 to turn in. This place is far better than gold planets
Have you maybe switched path modes in the galactic map? L1/RI?

"Unlocked" isn't really possible with how a game like this works. It's not really render distance (although that's also a factor, of course), is generating distance. You can't generate EVERYTHING at once even on a powerful PC, and then keep all that in memory. You're gonna see pop-in on PC to, even with maxed settings, especially when descending to a planet. It will/should be less severe than on PS4, but it will be there. Just no way around it with our current puny technology.
But yeah, all planets seem to have that N64 fog. Makes sense why. Otherwise you'd clearly see huge mountains and shit just appear out of nothing.

Duuuuude, I was about to enter a planet's atmosphere when I got attacked by pirates. I waited for them to show to see if I could escape down to the planet, and see if they'd follow. They followed, chased me across the surface before we had a massive dogfight. So cool. You can probably trigger this too if you hang out by a planet's atmosphere and wait to be attacked.

Some, however my latest planet has low atmosphere and you can see space and the stars much clearer, the atmosphere is barely visible. So happy they patched that planet type in.

Yeah, the true seamlessness of how planet entry/exit works is what really sells the experience. If there had been a load screen (even if hidden behind clouds or whatever) when entering the atmosphere I'd have been ~98% less interested in this game.
Went a little crazy last night, hopefully someone can help.
Decided to try my hand at fully exploring a planet before I head too far into the center, and I want a better ship, so I've been saving up some credits...still using the starter ship with some upgrades. I unlocked a bunch of waypoints to Monoliths and started to activate them when I came upon one that needed a specific element to give me the reward, so I backed out of the dialog box, ran around for 30 min, got the element, headed back to my ship, and started to fly towards the Monolith...when nearly all my unlocked waypoints disappeared. Got out of my ship, and they're still gone. The only ones I see now, besides one abandoned building, are a few Monoliths I've already visited. Any idea what's going on?

In my experience and I think the developer has said the same thing, when you go down to a planet you supposedly effectively "escape" from the attackers and they go away.
I hope you guys are naming these hidden gems appropriately for us less lucky travelers.

Holy mother of all that is good and pure. My dragon planet is littered with awesome. Flying jellyfish can be shot for purple elements called Radnox, and the ground is littered with trade pearls that sell for 27.5k each (but instantly summon elite sentinels when I pick them up).
I just found a half-submerged facility. I thought it was just generated there by mistake and everything inside was alright, but it was actually abandoned and in a bad shape (smoke coming out of the roof and cistern -it's barely visible in the pic- etc.)
Also, the antenna nearby that you use to claim the discovery didn't have any crates/loot near it.
I'm sure it just follows the "rules" made by the devs, but I like to think it has its own story, like it was built a long time ago before a flood wiped out everything, making it unusable.
Am I crazy? I love this game.

I will never get over the feeling of hopping in my ship, blasting through the atmosphere into space, picking another planet, then flying low over it and landing.
Regardless of what I actually do there, just flying the ship is incredible.

Yea it's intentional. I found a planet that was almost completely water and a lot of submerged facilities. Made getting into them hard cause I'd have to hover above then dive down and explore it all while getting out and back up before I ran out of oxygen.
And yea you're not alone. It's not perfect. No game is. It is a hell of a lot of fun though. Like I said earlier it's my GOTY and to be honest I don't see any game beating it this year for me.

Those are custom waypoints. Highlight a system that you want to travel to and press square.
