Is there any way to place your own map marker somewhere? Sometime I have trouble realigning myself in space to look for something I saw previously. Being able to put down a 3D map marker would fix that and apparently in the input there is a "Place Marker" key. Which as far as I can tell does nothing...

On the main quest mission, X Marks the Spot, I am on the part where you have to open the Ancient Structure, but I don't understand what you are suppose to do now, and I can't find a walkthrough anywhere online.

There actually is, I don't remember the key but it's in the key bindings in settings. That's also how I found out that you can turn off inertial dampening... For me it works fine, it creates a beacon and I think you can have up to 3 of them at once and delete them by aiming at them and long-pressing "F" (which means that I keep deleting them when trying to pick something up or use the in-system boost).

I learned another interaction tonight; the missile perk that fires a free missile on critical hit can also trigger the chance to refund ammo when firing perk, effectively giving you regenerating ammo.

Just doing the same puzzle over and over again is poor design. I get that, but I'm enjoying the puzzles on another level. The interaction is simple, the "solution" is simple, yes. Put a thing in a thing. What I like about the puzzles is how you find the necessary elements to solve it. They're not randomly scattered around, each part you're looking for is telegraphed by something. You'll usually find a socket with no idea where the other part is, for example, but it can almost always be gleaned logically. What can I see from here that jumps out at me? What is that slightly discolored area? What is that smoke? Where does this debris field lead? What are those enemy ships doing circling around way out there? I've always found the parts I needed at a point of interest that tells something of a story about what happened. Usually the story is "it blew up" but I guess in pew pew that's kinda the overall narrative.

for Story Mission Adam's Run, I have to collect Clygon, Solar Particles, and Dark Energy. But I don't know where to find these, and the game won't let me travel to other parts of the galaxy to do other missions.  I feel soft locked?

Solar Particles and dark energy are usually in the jars around ancient structures. Clygon is a common mineral in the system you're in. Can you travel within your system or are you stuck in the area?

The story mission lets you travel around, I was just playing last night for a few hours and somehow managed to not come across anything. You just can't leave the system, I think in the story this is near the very end and is a point of no return moment. At least until the story is complete.

Yeah just fly around the system and do the area discoveries, you'll be flush with those materials. I think that's the only reason that system is there.

there's an area in the, I want to say upper right quadrant of that system's map where the puzzles give you a lot of the materials you need. Look for "ancient jars" or something. But most of them give the mats in that system so scrufflepuff is right, just keep exploring a bit. you're not quite at the point of no return, by the way - another mission or three and you will be but the game slaps up a big warning saying MAKE A MANUAL SAVE when you get there. e: I'll add, while you're there don't sleep on Unknown Signals in that sector. If you get the rich resource area random encounter, slap a mining catalyst on something and get pure clygon; that's an essential component if you want to craft your way to maxing out the ship dealers perk. Which you do, because that's how you get Tier 4 ships. those random encounters are really lucrative, way better than what I did for pure baromite, which was slowly boating between 2-3 spots trying to farm it up. Took forever. Meanwhile, one resource encounter gave me all the pure clygon I needed because it had a dozen nodes of various types basically right next to each other. The catalyst is essential, putting it on a beam laser is not. Lots of people use mining flak guns because it one taps the node and apparently that works just fine.

finished the campaign, immediately tried a 500 rift and got absolutely destroyed. Oops!  Might have to gear up a bit there first, and definitely make sure I have some 'heal on crit/kill' weapons around to help with patching up after a fight since consumables are pretty limited in rifts.

I think the rest of the game could use something like that. No hunting around constantly, some cool mechanics, logical progression, feels like you're working towards and discovering something. After this zone I almost feel they could revamp some of those puzzles to make them a bit less generic. Also won't hurt to take out the timed poo poo.

Right after I did that zone I zipped over to the Inner Flare Zone, and was immediately met by the polar opposite: a set of frustrating, obtuse, and miserable puzzles and setpieces. So the old consistency vs. variety card is fully in play. It's tough to balance things when everyone finds something different enjoyable, but holy poo poo that zone is unpleasant. I left without accomplishing anything after far too much time trying.

I've noticed that the biggest issue this game has is Hinterlands Syndrome, which is what I call it when there's a lot of optional things gamers feel like they have to get through because of a completionist impulse, even though it is all actually very optional and repetitive if you were to dive in and try to do them all at once when you enter an area. People burned themselves out hard in Dragon Age Inquisition over that sort of thing. You can do it here too.

It doesn't help that there are plenty of locations that you can't 100% on your first visit because a chest that counts towards it will be locked behind a sidequest trigger that you haven't started/found yet.

Also they’re amazing for clearing minefields. I’m on gunship crew because more dakka is more better, but at some point I ended up with a marksman railgun and now I just murder everything from 4.5 km away. The only problem is finding the loot afterwards :/ Still in the first system at level 9 so not terribly far but having a good time!

I played up until the part where you have to burn some roots with acid and got annoyed and uninstalled. It's not bad, but it's not great either. The one thing it's got going for it is the graphics, everything else is kinda mid. Writing and story is meh, music is lame, has the classic problem of almost every space game where every 'region' is cramped in a small sphere. Videos show fast flying and dynamic action, but what you're actually doing most of the time in combat is slowly strafing or flying backwards while shooting. Also not a fan of incremental Diablo loot in a game like this. It's fun for a while, but I don't see myself ever returning to it.

From what I can tell, the 25% on the mining laser just isn't significant after all the other math going on, since the resource counts per sample aren't big enough for you to notice as a squishy human brain. Meanwhile the tedium of power-washing crystals off asteroids is very noticeable. I'm sure over a large enough sample the difference will show up, but in gameplay? Nah. That's not how our brains work. That said, using a beam laser does feel kinda right sometimes, so I'm largely agnostic to it. Depends on the mood I'm in.

among the many upgrades for sensors are superior loot detection ranges so that'll ease, at least. And having tried it, marksman railgun on gunship is so disgusting(ly fun) I did some rifts the other night and they're basically Super High Risk Contracts, which makes sense. 4 waves, you choose a difficulty modifier for waves 2 and 3 just like high risk contracts have them (enemies level up, hidden health bars, whatever) but you have to manage both kills and killing fast enough that your resolve meter doesn't empty out, so no barely scraping along getting one kill every two minutes. i also got a legendary gun on my second run. It looks powerful but it drains 5% ult energy per shot and the entire rest of my build is staying in ult mode pretty much constantly. Perhaps another one will be better I bet it'd be awesome on a ship class where I'd never use the ult, though. Those dps numbers are big.

And having tried it, marksman railgun on gunship is so disgusting(ly fun) I saw that when I was peeking at the legendary list, and immediately filed it away for the dustbin because my whole schtick with my Vindicator is to build ult fast and go all Newtype-All-Range-Attack on everything with six invulnerable overclocked drones. It seems like it might be good on an Interceptor where you're effectively trading your Weapon Overdrive for shots. Just uh, don't miss. I need to just get to finishing the story. I was doing the Parasite quest today on lunch, and ran into an intermittent crash bug that occurs with Flak Cannons. Devs say they know about it and are trying to pin it down, so there's that. Though, I don't know why they've inflicted on themselves the horror of Steam Discussions by making their primary bug submission vector be Steam Discussions...

Warmachine posted:Just uh, don't miss. but I run interceptor specifically for overdrive Whatever ship class has quantum tether is a more realistic candidate for me, maybe even gunship turret. Either way, something I want to test is whether or not it fires if you're at 0% ult. If it just drains energy like normal and also drains ult energy if available, that's fine. If it refuses to fire at all unless you have ult energy available, it's beyond worthless. also about flak crash; I had that too. I saw a suggestion to try dx11 if you're using dx12 to reduce, but probably not zero out, crashes. Not sure if that helps you but I've been meaning to test it now that I have a level 30 penumbra flak I'm never gonna let go of.

Psion posted:but I run interceptor specifically for overdrive According to the wiki: You can't fire it if you're out of ult charge. Which is why I chucked it into the bin. It is admittedly a LOT of damage in a single shot, so the goal is clearly to shift gameplay away from using your Ultimate for fighting into powering your elephant gun. I think it's second only to Cruise Missiles in one-hit damage? It has a niche, I think. Just not one I'm interested in.

Trip report from the final mission: A mining rig to surpass Metal Gear!  Elon Musk can't fly.  H13 posted:Yo, I need some combat tips? You have 6DOF movement in space. Always be jinking, spinning, and generally making yourself a moving target, even in big ships. Don't neglect your shields and armor, and boost is your friend. You also have your Ult and Devices. It's easy to forget them, but a well-timed EMP or Ult can swing a fight in a hurry.

H13 posted:Yo, I need some combat tips? Ships will fire at where you are at first, so if you're moving, they'll generally miss. But they'll adjust in a real hurry, and start leading their shots by aiming at where you're going to be, so you have to constantly be moving along different vectors. I usually bob and weave right, left, up, right, left, up, etc. while randomly boosting, to keep hits to a minimum. Take drones out with a quickness, they'll buzz close to your rear end and take down a lot of health. Unlike enemy ships they're not going to swing around for multiple passes - they'll hover right near you with guns trained on you at all times. They're a quick kill so don't ignore them. If you're approaching enemy formations take the drones out first. For large slow ships don't sleep on the cruise missiles. Just today I had a cruise missile with an extended range catalyst (some 5.2 km or greater) that took out an entire formation of 5 or 6 ships in one hit, due to the large damage AOE on top of the critical hit explosion damage perk. It took me a while to realize this game has far more in common with an land-bound FPS strafing combat game than a typical space combat game. Once you make that mental adjustment the difficulty drops dramatically.

As someone up thread alluded to; I started having a lot more when I started treating this as a slightly more open Descent (so I guess the real vision Descent 3 could never fully achieve) instead of Wing Commander. I've finished out most of the achievements and the full story. Got a few challenges left but I think I'll put this down till the (hopefully still coming) DLC so I don't burn out. Rifts are fun but past level 300 or so they start to just feel a little bit too miserable for me.

I did a couple 500s tonight, and while its definitely difficult, it's not really creatively difficult. For the most part I didn't have too much trouble keeping my drones up, but everything becomes a bullet sponge at that level of scaling. I did 3, and lost on my third because I couldn't track what was shooting at me, and whatever it was chewed through Vindicator shields, armor, and hull in almost a single shot. I think it was probably a sniper drone I lost track of. That said, I found a booster and cargo with +Handling on it, so my heavy fighter turns on a dime now.
