Q: I don’t want to replace my ship because I have all three Drive upgrades in it, and it doesn’t seem like those refund their full resources when deconstructed. Is that right?

This is also true of Multitools etc. Does upgrading the item set you back that hard on rebuilding all the poo poo you’ve modified it with?

Inventory stacks - Amazing.
Moving Technologies - GOTY.
Changing my cockpit in the hauler so I see about 50% less as I'm sat so much further back? Uuuuuurrrgh.

Does the Move Technology option let me shift all my S-Class upgrades from Ship to Ship or Multitool to Multitool? I'm assuming not, but I would love it to work.

My Freighter keeps installing trade pods half way through the floor, it’s very upsetting.

Apparently my ability to plan out a layout goes whack when I’m in a Freighter; I can’t work out how to lay it out at all.

I jumped Galaxy once, after finishing the Atlas chain (cos I wanted to see where Black Holes were) so I'm in Eissentam.

1. I don't think I've seen anything resembling new geometry there, which is upsetting so far.
2. Can Black Holes ever spawn in Red/Green/Blue star systems? I don't think so, I've been looking for a long time.
3. Black Holes never seem to move you meaninfully closer to galaxy centre - What's the easiest way to get there now?

I've clocked 300 hours into this game and I just finally found a system discovered by someone else (while playing single player, not multiplayer.) I'm surprised it took so long.

So I've been to 15 systems where I've checked every time for the system's exotic to spawn. 15 times in a row, it has been the sphere ship. If there is a 50/50 chance of a sphere ship or a squid ship as the system's exotic, then that is basically like flipping a coin 15 times and getting heads every single time, which has a 0.003% chance of happening. Unless my logic is broken (please correct me if it is), that either means I'm absurdly unlucky, or that the squid ship is indeed more rare than the sphere ship. I don't really want to use someone else's portal glyph coordinates to find one, but it's getting tempting.

It is. Broken, that is.

I so regret going to Aptarkaba, because whilst having Weird planets appear a lot is fun, it also means I can never find a nice Flourishing to build a pretty base on.

There’s only so much Aggressive Sentinel Terraforming Catastrophe one guy can take.

My Expedition seems to be hosed.

I got the Freighter fight, killed all the Pirates, then just as I was going to dock, someone else jumped in, their freighter spawned, and it seems like mine reset to '30 mil credits please'. Problem is, now I can't get another one to spawn.

I wish terrain/flora/fauna generation would get ANOTHER pass. It’s so much better than release, but still is nowhere near the launch trailer and can make some very samey environments sometimes.

I've finally found the system I always wanted.

A Pirate Controlled, Dissonance system with a Verdant planet (With the Dissonance on it!) less than one Freighter jump (4000ly) to the centre of Aptarkaba. I named it 'Dischordia', and the planet 'Goon Prime'.

Goon Prime just happens to be in a good position galactically, and a classification of Dissonance & Piracy, whilst also being a pretty planet with decent sized fauna.

There's no reason to care beyond that.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but those portal glyphs you posted only work for someone if they're already in your galaxy.

If someone in Euclid or any other galaxy puts them in, they'll go to a completely different location, but in the galaxy they're in.

So, in order for anyone to visit that planet, they first have to get to your galaxy, and if they've never been there, they'll need to get to the centre of these galaxies to travel to the next one, and so forth, to finally make it to yours and THEN use the glyphs.

Well gently caress me I didn't know. :v:

I just noticed that the game was being lazy and not rendering in the meshes of my frigates in the distance. Digital photography is my passion.



I'm not sure if LGO is missing floors or if this was a graphical anomaly, I am IRL acrophobic and noped back to my ship after screenshotting this.
LGO has floors, the interior is very bare bones right now but I have ideas! I’m quite proud of the design so far…
