My perk tree is still mostly empty, not built a base or ship, not progressed the main quest that much, not fully completed any factions yet, 70% of the systems on the star map are still red i mean how much game did they fit in here? When that dude said he was 130hours in and still finding new stuff he wasn't kidding.

Yep, it's a very solid conversion with only minor and expected cuts.
I practically forced myself to do a couple of story quests today cause I was just spending my entire time doing faction things.
The main story isn't too bad, Barret is a pretty cool guy lol.

I figured it wasn't downloading at that speed, disk usage was around 700MB/s so yeah, needs to be reworded.

PS.
Someone gave this advice earlier and I am gonna echo this.
It's very tempting to just use the map menu to fast travel point to point and reach the mission planet directly.
But it is 100% worth it doing the take off animation and using the grav-shift to travel to different galaxies while in space, because that's how you'll open up the random encounters, space fights, weird space oddities etc.
Using fast travel via the maps will skip most of that.

I'm getting ready to jump back in momentarily. I stole my first ship last night. I tried to assign an additional companion to the ship, but I don't see her. I wonder if she's riding on the outside?

My ship is starting to turn into a monstrosity with me bolting habitat and cargo bays on it at odd angles lol.

Yep. I'm about a fourth into the main quest I think. Completed the Rangers faction. Did the Lair of the Mantis. So now I have three ships. But good grief if I throw a grenade I'll blow up someone with a potential mission for me. This is quintessential Bethesda right here. Loving it.
Oh....just took over my first pirate ship in space. That's an added element to ship combat and it is fun as hell.

You guys were right about photo mode being fun. I think I might have to snap 1 shot from every planet.

I've switched back and forth between XSX and XSS a couple of times over the past few days. XSS on a 1080p tv is a pretty solid experience. I've seen a judder or two in New Atlantis but overall it's been great.I’ve been playing on the xss for 5 days, it works well, you will continue to be happy

The one good thing about the object permanence is that you can bring cool things to your ship deck, like the constellation watch box from the lodge.
Make a collection of yourself in your home base.

Everyone on PC needs to get the Undelayed Menu Mod as it makes accessing and leaving menus extremely quick. Since you are in menus a ton it makes a huge difference and not sure why the game shipped with the such slow menus to begin with.

I would agree with you if the BG3 editor had sliders like Starfield.

I haven't used NMM since using Vortex briefly on CP2077. Is it still easy download mod, install mod into the mod manager, and then launch game from vortex? or is that not the case yet?Everyone on PC needs to get the Undelayed Menu Mod as it makes accessing and leaving menus extremely quick.
