I'm loving this, this is almost a dream game for me (I wanted to be an astronaut as a kid) but the only few gripes so far (about 3 hours in) is you seem to be thrown from planet to planet really quick in the Main Quest
I've just got to Neptune in "The Old Neighborhood"
and theres not a lot to do (they remind me of Fallout and ES indoor dungeons actually)

Also the game is lack that awesome "Opening" that previous Bethedsa games, Leaving the Vault in Fallout or opening the World up in Oblivion for example, its ok but it feels like a Mass Effect rip off in a sense.

The game is running really well, I upgraded my CPU for this game to a Ryzen 5 5600x (from a 2600) and Ultra settings at 45fps is so nice, 60fps inside as well, beautiful and glad I went for the Steam version over my Xbox Series X, I can't wait to lose myself in this over the next few weeks, I already wanna upgrade my ship

I finished the Vanguard pilot test and the commander dude congratulated me, then the dialogue zoomed unnaturally close up to Sarah's face because she was participating from a fucking elevator, saying something like You could fly me around some day! that was unintentionally so-bad-its-good comedic genius :messenger_tears_of_joy:

and thats how I met your mother kids

performance on my pc is not great even with everything on medium. Keeps hiccuping every time it loads a new event, for example when a new character appears or when a ship lands

Interesting story on this gamepass upgrade

A good friend of mine upgraded and started playing last night and his PC shutdown during the first cave mission and he has tried everything to get it running but it wont boot so he ordered a new PC but wont be here until next week so he tried to refund his upgrade purchase

He was denied saying he had owned the game for longer than the 14 day period thus was ineligible

He has tried to escalate it and was told the same thing

I guess him preordering shows it as being purchased because no way he should be denied for owning it for longer than 14 days?

I know its a small amount but buddy isnt happy atm :)

What I'm getting from this is they are counting him owning it since the date he pre-ordered.....

If so, that's one of most disgusting things I've ever heard.

Question about the first combat place before New Atlantis:

Did anyone find an actual terramorph enemy somewhere in the facility? I couldnt find anything and if there wasn't, would be pretty disappointing adding all that dialogue and storytelling there...rpgs need this kind of side content

There are other outposts on the planet, so maybe there? I was trying to go the other one near the ship but then started to get stomped by a high level creature and ran out of ammo. I will go back later and see if it is there. LOL

Its the only think he can think of as he has well less than 30 minutes in the game and they have given him this reply twice now

You've exceeded the allowable refund period for digital game purchases

Yes, there is one by the radio tower up north of the outpost, it's level 10 and pretty strong, I killed it by just taking the high ground and just shooting it with everything I had on me.

Pro tip : don’t bother stealing in this game. The second you engage with certain npcs, or try to land on a planet again early on, you’ll have no chance and be railroaded into giving up all stolen loot and dicked into a mission you don’t want to do. :/

That's some straight up bullshit, I would keep escalating. It's not about the money, it's bigger than that.

This is not true, only contraband (yellow tagged) items can be picked up by scans, stolen good (red tagged) only show up if you are caught committing a crime or caught with contraband.
You can still successfully smuggle contraband, and you can get rid of red tagged items by selling them at a certain vendor and then just buying them back (same amount of credits), then they legitimately become yours.

I think I’m about to drop this. Finally left Atlantis for a quick delivery mission. Come back and somehow ship attacks me every time I want to land. Can’t land in combat. Kill ship and the whole fleet wants my head.

I’m stuck in an infinite loop.

Every reviewer saying the game is in a good state bug wise early game is lying through their teeth.

Fuck this game

That's not a bug. You flew into the system carrying contraband, ignored the space cops warnings, then you killed them and had a bounty on your head.

I've played about 6-7 hours now and haven't left Kreet yet. Can't seem to locate the last resource anywhere on the planet in order to finish off surveying it! My feelings are mixed about the game, there is some stuff I like but then there is other stuff I'm a bit more ehhhhh about. Will keep on going but New Atlantis is the next stop and I'm not sure I can be arsed being overwhelmed in a giant city lol.

I noticed a XofX items when landing on Kreet this morning. Is this for the entire planet/moon or is it for just that one particular place you landed?
