moderately annoying

I feel as though nobody can make statements about optimization until they see what this game's equivalent of an M7M does to their system.

ahh man, just tried it quick..

The tutorial that's supposed to explain the modes is dumb. It tells me to go to the signal and scan it until it's 100%. I went all over the station and could only get 75%. Then I aborted it and tried to do it again and the enter key stopped being able to open the ship menu (I know you can change to scanning mode by shift-2, but the tutorial wants you to go through the menu) so I couldn't do anything.

Also, it doesn't let me turn off v-sync on fullscreen-windowed mode

I will give this a single full day before I cave and buy it too, I barely ever buy games over 20 bux and yet if by this time tomorrow no serious and clearly unfixable issues turn up I will not be able to resist.

Combined with the recent 0.9 Starsector update, this is feeling like a good time for the Space games

I have a g-sync monitor and from what I understand in game v-sync should be off for the g-sync to work. It's annoying to have it capped at 60 fps because you can't turn off v-sync. Also their fullscreen-windowed mode doesn't really seem to be right, if you alt-tab the game minimizes just like it does in fullscreen mode

With g-sync don't you normally want to force it in the video drivers? Thats how I'm always certain which v-sync mode is actually running.

970 club , this is a fine game. looks good and smooth. I had trouble looking at the tiny text and went into the settings and turned UI from 1.0 to 1.2 everything now slightly larger and still crisp looking.

pro tip, turn off auto roll or you'll wonder what the f is going on when flying around stations and the ship fights your commands.

Anyone have a trip report with a thrustmaster t-flight yet? Watching the streamers I'm kinda thinking I might actually want a mouse for due to the amount of tracking thats needed...

Autopilot just crashed me into a rock and then said "Autopilot Epically Failed"

At least they acknowledge it!

steam reviews always nosedive at first because the only people reviewing are those with malware infested, misconfigured potatoes that should probably not be allowed to play games on anything more complex than a phone.

I have no idea what they're on about. I've not encountered any bugs thus far and it runs quite well.

Like I'm not at the point I could tell you if the game is good because it's an X game but it certainly works...

Those first "reviews" are also legit inaccurate because they've probably played the game for what, five minutes at most?

So it's also the "attention span of a goldfish" club.

You can see where they've rushed things, in particular almost nothing seems to have actual descriptions in the encyclopedia, but technically all the important stuff seems to work fine.

I bought a trading ship, but the "AutoTrade" order seems greyed out. Also, I can't figure out how to sell my starting ship.

Could it be you’re missing auto trading software? Some options are visible but greyed out until you buy or purchase specific upgrades.

I also assume you need to hire a pilot? Basing that on just the fact that AI pilots are hireable.

I do have a pilot, it wouldn't let me buy the ship without one. I also can't figure out how to fire him.
