Time for some worthy praise, Yes some well done’s all round. The flight characteristics of my Pegasus are quite believable, luring me into a faraway universe where I can out run the red’s.
Landing and taking off from stations is superb, the sense of scale is most pleasing.
I have managed by sheer mistake to have disabled the in cockpit display giving me a nice dark uncluttered forward view. This makes the flying experience so much more believable. ( those lights didn't do anything anyway, so good that they are gone.
I have spent a ton of time building stations, the one part of the game I absolutely love. I did for a while try building small neat complexes when cash was hard to come by, but now my builds are in excess of 50 mill each. Each one getting more and more challenging to build, be it with intense defence set ups, or just plane artistic. With no care as to the cost.
Yes I have had some complaints, but the game/build has me hooked.
I am still a Private, as I run with no weapons. The war combat part of the game is of little consequence to me, so I ignore it. I concentrate on Trading, and station building.
I was expecting better exploration, but that seems a waist of time. So I am a Professional Mogul, taking a cut from all Factions. Red’s excluded. We once were able to trade with reds, long long ago, but not now it seems. In X3 I was able to fly along side the reds, as I was not a threat to them, now they are insane idiots who have no brains !
My universe is slowly turning green with not a shot fired, Ha, way easer than fighting!
Back to the patting ES on the back, Your station customisation is a big thumbs up. The ship landing, docking is a vast improvement from X3. And the addition of cockpits is awesome, with hopefully improvements on the horizon regarding those lights that do nothing!!
I have a station I call my Vault, surrounded by tons of defence modules. This I put my Billions in ( 10+ ) and counting. So I have less in my working account !! Why? This makes Station money transfer more accurate. Trying to get 1 Mill from 10 Billion is imposable, as the amount jumps by such huge amount when you have too much loot. May be thats a future fix in an update!
The station lights are cool too, the E dock with it’s wave of lights, the flat dock with its red flashing lights when a ship is inbound. And the flames that come from the Refined Metal Production Module are brill. ( By the way, if you haven't looked inside! Take a gander), good job ES.
Please feed the fish !
