Nah probably rude to spoil a movie in a game thread for a joke no matter how related.

They should set some sort of paid overtime system for shifts. You can go over your 15 minutes, it costs more the longer you go. Meaning you pay for the overtime, because LYNX.

Did you know that you can select ship grades with 'q' and 'r' during ship selection? I went back to mackerels a few times to get a specific cert category faster.

Figuring out that I can section my ships by cutting their internals then doing tethers to the jax and master jack objects has made the whole experience much nicer overall. Also the Gecko cargo ship is a lot of fun to take apart. The transport not so much though.

Just watched someone in a video process the aft section of a Mackerel without pulling the impulse drive fist and I think I'm having a stroke.

Yeah I mean the cloning is papering over a mechanics issue to make hazards have teeth. Otherwise in "real life" they could just spin up a new clone over and over and just say "you're in debt good luck."

I just did that but they paid me for the reactor anyway. It doesn't seem to matter whether you remove the plating around the grade 2 reactors so I just tether it down there, after removing the pipes.

As soon as mods are possible in this game i'm making "Hardbass: Shipwrecker" where it plays lovely techno and you get more money the more irreperable damage you do to valuable parts.

Sometimes it won't register as salvaged if you leave the plating on, but you can usually give it an extra push and it'll go. Just have to keep an eye out for the notification so you don't accidentally leave 3m credits floating in space.

Youse folks may be interested in the config.ini file in the game's main folder, you can skip the intro videos and enable a framerate counter. Also, if you shut down the game it seems to forget whatever you had in your shipyard on next boot.

Here's my foolproof strategy for always finding the utility key: 1) Look for it everywhere and fail to find it. 2) Flush the fuel pipes, causing a massive explosion and destroying half the ship. 3) Trip over the key immediately. Sometimes I'll get a fuel explosion that doesn't cause the fuel objective to fail, but barging the surviving tanks leaves me with 1 or 5 fuel left to collect. Where's it hiding?

Also a slight bug, half the time it just lets me use the console anyways as my character pulls out the key from his magic pockets so it's still worth trying the console even if you can't find keys.

If you didn’t know, you can use the tether to skip the long salvaging wind up when you grab a barge item with the grapple. I’ve found it especially useful for the big cargo containers.

Keys carry over between ships, so you probably have a bunch left over from the early Mackerels. I feel like the Grcko should have a larger fuel tank like it has the power generator and ECU. Instead it’s just got a bunch of tanks half hazardously stapled to the hull. Skippy McPants fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jun 20, 2020 |

Other objects can block the scan if you're not in the right spot. Good luck if the key's wedged under a chair or something!

It's usually floating somewhere in the open. The trick is to look for it while you're still outside before you've popped open any remain compressed cabins which sends small objects flying all over the place.

Because you can hoard them I now treat ship keys as ethers. Im going to need them eventually but obviously not now. The fuel tanks stapled to the hull panels are a mouse trap waiting for you to play thruster purge roulette. If you take care of those the gouts of flame from a failed purge are a minor inconvenience, I say after bumping a thruster into the plume and cause a chain reaction ending with a reactor meltdown.

0% equipment still works, but at lower effectiveness. e.g. your grappel's strength goes down. Equipment damage seems a bit of a superfluous mechanic right now.

Just started this and it's a lot of fun. I probably don't want to put too much time into it in EA and burn out and never play it at launch like many games, but it's real good., is there any downside to replacing a ship in the salvage area with a new one for more goodies to pull off or does it give you a bonus for full salvaging a ship?
