I wonder how many people are like me and don't rename squat.
Me, apart from one planet I named "The mysterious planet of gold" because it has massive chunks of gold all over it.

Renamed a few things at first but quickly got over it and haven't renamed shit since. It's cool but I'm too lazy to come up with names now.
Nah.
Is a matter of preferences. I love gyro controls (Wii, Move, etc), but I don't like typing or aiming (Uncharted Golden Abyss, Splatoon) using regular controllers with gyro. XD
Wow. That 'you can't see other players in NMS' thread is an embarrassing mess. Nice to see people here are enjoying it!
When you start the game you have a few objectives. One of them is obtaining blueprint for your ships hyperdrive, enabling you to create that item any point in the game moving forward.
If you use your pre-order ship, it bypasses this sequence due to the game assuming you completed this task. Unless you find a ship or purchase that already has this hyperdrive, you are unable to create this item or learn upgraded construction to it later.

Heard the suggestion from the Giant Bomb podcast that the pre-order bonus actually sullies the starting experience a little by allowing you to skip some useful tutorial sections.
Was going to pre-order from Steam, think I may wait to purchase after release now.
Anyone have thoughts on this?

Did this happen in your 2nd system or deeper into the game ?Not having read about this, I brought in the pre-order ship from the very beginning of my game. When I hopped to my next system, I received a mission that brought me to an outpost that gave me the blueprints you are referencing. I'm still in my pre-order ship, but I also have the blueprints now to make the hyperdrive.
So I don't know if it glitches for everyone, since it didn't glitch for me.

Is there a way to map out a course to your starting planet? I wish I could just click on it in the upload page and automatically map a course. Trying to figure it out in the galactic map is extremely frustrating.
At what point is it safe to switch to the pre-order ship? Once I've crafted a hyperdrive?
That's awesomethis game you guys.
Yeah I'm here too. Scanned around all the planets in this solar system and no more factories seem to be around. Can't jump to another system because of no hyperdrive. I just detected a crashed ship so that's my last hope, going to check it out right now.10 hours in and that preorder ship fucked me. Fucked me real hard. Like the kind of fucking that happens and you just grab on for dear life and don't let go.
All that shit I've done down the goddamn drain. I was too far, and finally changed ships like a dunce, and lo and behold the new one doesn't have a HD. That's cool, I'll just ma- oh fuck I don't have the blueprint.
They'd be wise to let people buy some of these things once they pass a point of no return. This is dumb.
This game is exploration zen. I'm adoring it so far. On my... Sixth planet mabye? It's so beautiful (icy, forested, floating islands) I want this to be my first 100% explored upload. I'm so glad I decided to try this too, because I'm discovering item slot upgrades for my suit, new alien words, loads of new tech, it's awesome.
One thing bothering me: these damn sentry drone things. They're all aggro on sight, and literally five seconds after killing one another appears in its place. It's killing my enjoyment of simply looking around and taking my time. I have to constantly rush to get things done then either hide in a building or fly away. Fighting is pointless because they never stop appearing. Am I missing something? It's not like I'm permanently being hunted. They "deactivate" the hunt when I kill them, but there are so many it doesn't make a difference.

Apparently you can brute force through. Not sure how though. Reddit had some suggestions. I was only 30 minutes in so I just reset.Polygon article on game-breaking bug with pre-order ship
Thinking I should wipe my save. I didn't switch to the new ship until after I had got a hyperdrive for the first ship, but I hadn't taken the step of getting the blueprint for Antimatter. I'm betting I won't be able to get it now.
I would hold off until you at least understand the game systems and controls. There's a lot to learn in the first 30. Weed is enough for that first playthough, IMO
Basically, if you take it right away, or late enough, you're fine.Not having read about this, I brought in the pre-order ship from the very beginning of my game.

I was seriously contemplating this last night as well but reloaded save file and got my stuff back as well as kept the Alpha Vector ship w/out the hyperdrive(wtf lol). Then did the hyperdrive blue print thing and now gotta get the wrap cells. I'm just scared this ship might fuck me up in the future down the line but I should be OK as long as I got the hyperdrive built myself right?thinking about starting over now after this preorder ship business

The damn pre-order Alpha Vector ship really fucked people over. Worst pre-order bonus, ever lol. Seriously.

God damn Amazon & their stupid pre-order bonus.
I think it is safe to say that how you feel about this game partially depends on your first world.
Kill it, than scan it.
Sooo...at what point am I supposed to just stop exploring and abandon the initial star system? I feel like I'm finding way too much stuff, but I'm still missing two planets!
I have 800k units, upgraded my suit 6 times, discovered 50+ words and I'm finding duplicates of blueprints quite frequently. Help, I can't stop
Yeah this is the first fucking patch that is necessary. or just give everyone a damn hyperdrive blueprint or something. Seems like an easy fix.
Did you already have the quest when you redeemed the ship? When I redeemed mine right when I started the game, it no longer gave me the quests to get the hyperdrive, instead it wanted me to get out of the system to continue the story. This made it so no other ships had hyperdrives and I had to get rid of that ship to restart the quest.
You get money, significant amounts in bulk, for renaming them so I would recommend just doing it.
You should push on. I made this "mistake" - it's not really a mistake obviously - and then realized that you'll find all the same shit on the next planet.Sooo...at what point am I supposed to just stop exploring and abandon the initial star system?

Halle-fucking-lujah! Dodged a bullet so far it seems.If you can build a hyperdrive you are fine forever
