Yea, the sound design in particular should be lauded, the game sounds *amazing* with a good set of headphones. I love how you can hear all the loose bits in your ship shaking about when you hit your thrusters.

Look, I don't know why we're all dancing around the question. We're all curious. Will this game let me live out my "Han Solo during his smuggler days" fantasy? Yes or no?

Pretty much yeah
You won't be meeting any weird looking aliens or have them join your crew, but it's the closest thing there is, yes.

Well, then I don't know why that's not in the thread title or the OP! This is very good info to have!
Shame about the no aliens though.

Whoever told you there are no aliens was lying to you. The Thargoids would like a word. Maybe take some slaves and stick them in your cockpit.

Dammit LeBart!
But seriously, this may be the first time an OT has sold me on a game, versus killing interest. Now I just got to wait to get home and start the download. Hopefully it'll be done by the weekend.

I hope when we get player to player docking that we get some level of player customization aside from gender. Iunno, maybe different suits and decals or something, so not everyone looks the same.
I can't wait til we can walk around ships. I wonder if we'll be able to get bigger ships and have likes NPC crews at some point? It's probably a long time down the road, but all these future updates will give me a reason to come back to the game over the years, so that's good.
Agreed. We def need player customization at some point, and the ability to buy new clothes and stuff.

NPC crews will come first, then player controlled crews. I'd assume this is several expansions away, given how they've talked about it.

The only thing the game is missing, to me, is legs. I wanna walk around on asteroids! I wanna walk around in my ship! In someone else's ship! In a dock!
Once we get that, it'll be perfect.

Watched a couple streams but I just couldn't keep interest. Maybe I was watching the wrong ones? Most people I saw were usually trading stuff and it did feel like a truck sim with a very bland setting. The sun and space station seemed to be the only familiar sights. Guess I'm not into the act of piloting a space ship that much. Fwiw I loved Wing Commander and Tie Fighter back in the day.
I never said they don't exist, just that you're not gonna meet any of them face to face. You're not even going to meet humans face to face. That's not in the game yet.

Junior, please.
waiting for steam release
You're going to be waiting a long time, just buy it from Frontier.
Try systems with a High Tech economy.
Worst than the Hauler ? going from the starting ship to the Hauler felt like a downgrade just because of the cockpit view... having a DK2 for headtracking but so little visibility is sooo disapointing.
They're not bringing it to steam?
Not in the near future, no.
No plans too, they might buckle if the game bombs.
Been a while since I was in the Hauler, but was certainly a shock. The other thing I hate is it's a double seater cockpit, and the captain's chair is British style on the right side of the cabin. RAGE!
3.5 GB.
Watching that crazy dock at the end always gets me so hot and bothered.

So I have a mission to hunt pirates, but I can't seem to find any. I can't interdict spacecraft yet, so I'm stuck searching. Where should I look?
Also, I preordered. Where can I find where my Eagle is docked?

Every USS you can find. Dock at a station, and go into the shipyard menu, you should see a tab with all your owned ships. Also, on the galaxy map, the system with the stored ship will have a green ship icon.

I hate the default controls. Making a stupid circle in the middle of the screen be the black hole of mouse control and making the camera spin around depending on the degree youve angle the pointer at coupled with the distance away from the centre?
Seriously?
I had to quit out of the tutorial because it just terrible. Trying to remap anything is damm pain too, not only is there a billion options for controls, Ive no idea how to put the controls mapped to the mouse tot he keys. The keyboard only mode.. removes controls entirely?
Ugh 30 minutes into the very first tutorial and feck all progress for me.
X:Rebirth had perfect controls but shitty everything else. I hope this game isn't gonna be the opposite.

The devs have said that the Adder is such a good ship overall that it needed a strong negative to balance it out, and the visibility is that negative. Even still, it's the ship I'm gunning for tonight when I go to ditch the free Sidewinder.
waiting for steam release
There isn't going to be one. Sorry.
So to find pirates or most of any other mission objectives, you wanna just fly around in supercruise in the system the mission is in and wait for "unidentified signal sources" to appear on the map. These are kind of like instances that appear randomly you can travel to like any other location and you'll find something of interest there. Sometimes it's a mission objective, sometimes it's some lonely trader ship waiting to be plundered, sometimes it's cargo floating in space, etc.
I would like to know where m eagle is too -_-

I would highly recommend switching to a joystick or controller.
thelatestmodel
Junior, please.
I highly encourage anyone complaining about the controls to get a HOTAS controller. It is a game changer. The game is essentially a space simulator, and is designed to be played with a HOTAS.
The Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS X is less than $50 and will solve all of your problems. I honestly wouldn't try playing it with anything less, you're kind of bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Thanks guys. I don't see a shipyard menu however when I dock at a station, and I'm in the only system where it says I have ships (unless it's just away in another star system that I haven't found).
It shows you on the galaxy map. There will be a little icon next to the system it is in. It also tells you where it is in the shipyard.

Nav Beacons usually have people flying around them.
The Eagle you can find if you dock at a station and go the Hangar or Ship section (forget what it's called - EDIT: Shipyard, as mentioned above) and it will tell you where you have ships docked.

To find your Freagle:
1) Open up galaxy map. The system where your ship is stored will have an icon.
2) Go to a space port, and open up the menu where you buy new ships. It will tell you what ships you have stored and where they are located

Guess I'll try a controller.
Dunno bout a flight stick. It's highly tempting but the actual setup would be impractical on my desk.
