You need to dismantle the new ship and move the parts over to your suit inventory before you swap back.

Haha this is great. Dedication as well considering how long it took you in real time to do all that. Thanks for sharing!
Have you seen those videos of people trying to fly to the star/sun in their system and it eventually glitching the game to hell? Those are pretty gnarly as well.

there is a Pulse Jet Theta right?
for some reason I cannot find one

I didn't get most of my upgrades 'randomly'. I got them for doing certain things ...

you can spoiler tag it
what Polo sells seems very random
That's not true at all. I churned through dozens of crashed ships:
1. accept crashed ship without transferring anything
2. go back to old ship and open the interface to take it
3. trash all the components in the crashed ship and transfer the parts
4. accept the old ship again

Oh, OK, I was just being careful and didn't realise you could do that.

You get things for completing the different tasks like killing so many sentinels etc. And once you've finished those you can start buying them of him
Thank you. But I'm hoping someone can still answer my top question
Isn't the 'Theta' tier one called 'Photonix'?
Pretty neat. It's interesting that plasma grenades just go straight while in space. So the way they arc isn't just a pre-baked thing.
And I was still waiting for an explanation of what the last one did. How hard can it be to write patch notes? :S

well at that size it's going to be a specific bug fix of some kind...
Yes.
Nah. Completely pointless and a waste of inventory space.
Not worth it. Even scrappy looking cow animals do more damage than sentinel lasers.

Are higher-level warp drives more likely to appear in crashed ships after you've upgraded your current ship? Starting to think getting all(?) warp upgrades into my 21-slot ship was not the way to go.
Also, has anyone reached the center without cheating? I've barely made a dent from the starting number...

Yes.
I've traveled across almost the entire galaxy (just warping, no black holes), so roughly twice the distance to the center.

Wow, respect. I put 24 hours into the game in the first few days of it being out and then dropped off rapidly. It's very neat, though.

I love to play the game and sometimes (when I poo) read trought this and the past OT. But now that I reach the end of this awesome island of peace before I complete the game I'm really sad... please post more! 
Anyone?

I don't think there's a way currently to have an accurate count of how many stars are in a given galaxy, and then to see it pip up when Travelers decide to give those 10 stones to Atlas.
I travelled 30k in, then 70k back out. A lot of sideways movement too. If I hadn't been messing around so much I guess I would have been there by now.

What's "cheating"? Black Holes? There are a few people posting regularly here that have made it to the center. Sounds like Gribble's on his 3rd galaxy even.
I personally still have a long way to go. Though I think I may just engage with the Atlas path finally as a form of direction until I see it through, then continue jumping towards the center.

Pretty sure people were talking about having reached the middle of the galaxy on day 1, though perhaps it was just data mining. I managed the Atlas path rather quickly, but just didn't feel like I was getting far in terms of ...directional progress.
(Also yeah I committed the cardinal sin of stepping into the thread without reading much of it, that's on me. Cheers!)

Oh that! Yeah prior to the launch day patch (v1.03) there were people abusing an infinite warp cell exploit and just tearing to the center. I imagine they could have done this post launch as well, as long as they didn't apply the 1.03 patch.
As for making a dent in progress toward the center, I think the last few pages of the this thread have had a few people comment on their particular strategies for relatively quick traversal. Seems like one method would be to scour a planet for a few crashed ships, break down their parts and save what you get, craft a few warp cells, then start hitting black holes.
hah don't pay that any mind
Oh man, if that improves things on the PS4 that'd be brilliant. The loading on ore deposits in particular are always confusing to me and making me do double-takes since before they pop in they have a default state that looks more like a monolith from a distance e.g. pyramid shape -> egg shape.

I don't know what it's like on PC, but I think the universe map for plotting a course is so unwieldy that I'd have no idea if I'm heading in, out, sideways, etc. at any given point. Even traveling back to a previous system is an exercise in futility, so I typically just jump to whatever place the cursor lands on.

Well, generally speaking as long as the "Distance to Center" number keeps ticking down, you're moving closer. Some jumps give you more bang for your warp cell's buck though. Personally, I think if I just wanted to cover ground and not explore a bunch of planets one evening, I'd just craft a ship full of warp cells and start using the path-to-the-center route. A full tank on my hyperdrive may not get me as far as a single black hole, but I also won't have to worry about scouring elements to fix whatever breaks when I exit it.
It would be nice if they could make it so ore deposits you already mined don't show up when you look back at them from a distance.

God yes that also bugs the crap out of me on those instances when I'm mining those larger deposits. When it comes to Gold, Emeril, Aluminum however, I usually try and just mine the green crystal deposits to save time.
Really digging my new ship.
Great shot (and cool ship!). I really like the way it's framed. Would love to have a ship that looked like that on my current planet. Lots of blue ocean with a ton of small, just-above-the-water spits of land that can accommodate a single ship. Would be pretty striking to have a shot of your ship where it looked like it was just sitting atop the water.
Speaking of which, wish there was a ship type or upgrade that allowed for water landings. I want to explore some of the planets with deeper oceans but the deep points are so far from shore and it's such a slog to park on the shore and then slowly "swim" my way through the ocean. Would rather just park it in the middle and take a quick dive. Might speed up scanning for fish if there are some that are only hanging out in deeper waters.
Maaaaan, this was some good shit.
I'll admit I am, in many ways, just as bored with this game as I was when I first started playing it. And yet I am still playing it, 40+ hours later. This video covers much of the why that I didn't completely understand.

Got today the bug where my ship was flying away without me. What i noticed was that i was actually "remote controlling" the ship. I was able to change the direction of the ship by strafing and then after pressing square the ship landed and i was teleported to the ship.
It's a better way to get your ship back than searching for a launchpad.
But maybe it's nothing new for you.

Pro-tip:
Hah fair enough. Still want water landings though.
Now that version of the self-flying ship bug I've never seen or heard of. If it ever happens again, and on PS4, maybe try to kick out that footage ? Would love to see that.
Yes.
This is assuming it literally does what it says. But is there nothing else?
Why am I suddenly able to
locate black holes in the Galactic map easily

I think we'll all be better off taking it to mean metaphorically.
Yes, that's how I understand it;
Atlas knows that you know you're in a simulation, and it in turn knows its creation better the more you explore it, so it allows you to get on with it at a faster clip.
