It's just extra cosmetics. So it's up to you if you want those. Personally I would just get the basic pack.

I'm happy this game will be B2P instead of F2P/sub based on release. Seems like it'd be an easy one to ruin through nickle and diming. Apparently there'll be a cosmetic shop later.

Are there chairs at all in the game currently or are cannons still your de facto choice of seat? I know it'd be suicidal to make a fancy floating palace and not have it armed to the teeth but I'd love to make a flying decadence craft with chandeliers and poo poo.

If the game gets popular and gets marketplace support than the items could be worth hundreds (see pubg) otherwise no.

Just looked out of curiosity, there appear to still be keys available. I had fun with this during the alpha but $35 seems steep for something that's not finished.

Playing from Australia and the lag is pretty killer to the goon server US(EAST)

Starting area is fine but as soon as you get to populated areas it is unplayable.


Going to give US West a shot. Should be better there.

Yep US(West) pretty much unplayable too. Will have to wait for an Australia server I guess.


This is the first game I have ever played that I could not play from Australia. Alpha/Beta/Retail.


That's some bad netcode

Talking literally unplayable when the game won't react to any input for 5 minutes.

I'm in game and getting used to swinging about. Trying to do this without resorting to actually reading instructions outside the game. Screen started shaking with no sound associated with it. Been going for a while and no idea what it is.

Island is respawning the resources. This is a good time to go look for new spawned chests as they may have schematics.

Protips for swinging:

Holding right mouse lets you free aim your grapple, which is super useful for precision swinging and climbing up cliff faces.

If you're against a wall, pressing Q will latch you on in climbing mode and let you crawl up it without using your grapple. Also works on ship surfaces!

You can double press space to do a grapple boost jump. The trajectory of your jump is based on the position of your grapple wrist: if it's pointed straight up, you'll boost upwards.

You can move quickly across flat terrain by grappling the ground a few meters in front of you and grapple boosting as you run in that direction.

I crashed while on the helm and got the loading screen bug, came back and my ship ran a windwall on its own. Then discovered that all of my ship's controls on the helm were inverted and it steers about 50% better than it did before. :psyduck:

Com taught me that wings can be put on backwards and doing so massively impedes their abilities

After putting the wings on my ship the correct way (makeshift aileron facing backwards), I very nearly ploughed my ship into the side of the island I was on because the ship responded several magnitudes faster than I expected

Fun emergent gameplay: I was dicking around on one of the islands in E2 (The island pictured at the bottom of the section) and three or four boats pulled up and started shelling me while I was farming wood. I immediately started scaling the giant statue at the apex of it to try and get level with their boat and see if I can board it, but they were too far away. I kept swinging while they bombared me.They weren't able to hit me easily, so one of them jumped off their boat, down onto the island and scaled the statue I was on and we both engaged in swinging and shooting combat while his allies rained cannonfire down on the statue.

He eventually got the best of me (I didn't heal and I didn't run, if they had come this far for a fight I was gonna give them one) so I respawned back on my boat... which they had commandeered while I was distracted, put the engines on full tilt and aimed it directly back at the windwall leading to W3. The ship was at a steep angle so I immediately fell off and had to grapple back to the ship. I thought someone was still on board so I told them they could have the ship for winning the fight - it was only until I got back on board when I noticed nobody was at the helm. Managed to catch the sucker just as it entered the wall and reversed it outta there. Amazingly tense though the stakes weren't exactly high, the ship was a garbagecraft used to bust through the windwall.

Does everyone else get massive lag when moving to a different island? I have a drat good PC and loading in everything should not be causing me to freeze for 60+ seconds.

Does moving it to an SSD help?

honestly it feels so slow it's like the maps graphics are being sent over the net.
