Considering the developer stated that they planned and wanted for other players to eventually interact as they included a scan feature on the galactic map to detect other players around you. It certainly could be broken, especially considering how small the team was that put this together. It doesn't really bother me either way since I always looked at it as a solo experience. I'm much more concerned with the fact that Player A in that example above stumbled onto a system that had already been found on his first jump. If the first system I jump to has already been found I will be kinda pissed. I'm getting it for PC so I still have to wait until Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've moved to my third solar system and nobody is there. Same with some of my friends. Those guys were the "less than one percent chance" guys and it exposed a flawed mechanic.

Dont Taze Me Bro Posted August 10, 2016 Author Share Posted August 10, 2016 Just now, Mr. Sinister said: I just found out about this yesterday. Guess im still far out of the loop compared to the rest of you I ran across it 4-5 days ago, didn't think anything of it until it got brought up in the XB/PS thread. Then I researched it yesterday morning and realized how awesome the concept was and pulled the trigger. I take no shame in being a fellow newb in this game.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I remember It blew most people away at E3 2015. Then I think a lot of people took a wait and see approach on whether they could actually pull it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Well thank you for that introduction... Crash landed on some snowy planet that I can't pronounce, and immediately greeted by hostile drones/sentinels. Took care of them and stripped them for parts.

Springfield Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 2 hours ago, autoidiodyssey said: With the game having a day night cycle and presumably time it shouldn't be a big surprise that two people would be in the same place and not see each other. Same time on Earth, not the same time in the game. My understanding of their meeting is that Player A jumped to a new system (traveling several thousand light years in the process, the game shows how many light years you are traveling right?) and found that Player B had already been there. A messages B and says "Hey I'm in your old system, come back and meet me." B says "Sure I'm only 4 systems away." B then travels several thousand light years to get back to the old system. At that point in game time they are thousands of years apart. Assuming my limited knowledge of how light years work is correct. That actually makes a lot on sense, assuming that there is a lot of travel near light speed. I would assume that something like that would be too difficult for a video game (logistically) to handle.

I would assume that something like that would be too difficult for a video game (logistically) to handle. I'm still going with the notion that they released the game without the functionality to see/interact with other players because of budget and the fact they thought it would take a lot more time for that to happen and not on day one, revealing a game mechanic flaw. If real were based on what auto stated, I would think they would have responded with that answer instead of the "Golly gee, it happened on day one!??!?! Wow!" response from the developer. One of three things have happened. He/they bold face lied about multiplayer being possible in the game so they could maintain pre-order sales (possibly abandoned that before launch, but kept hush about it). Two, the functionality was in there and it's flawed/bugged/broke and needs to be fixed/updated. Or three, it was released without that piece at launch with hopes to add it later thinking they had plenty of time given the already extremely slim chance that players would stumble into each other with in hours of launch (probably thought this would take months).

The Evil Genius Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 But light years are not a time measurement (they are a distance measurement). If A travels to B (say 1000 light years), and B is stationary. A should meet up with B, unless B has died in that time that it took for A to get there.

I think everyone's starting experience is the same, so you will encounter drones, but have the same missions as you try to continue down your path to the center of the galaxy. But, the planets it happen on are completely different, with different aliens, animals, etc. Planet I started out on had a red clay surface. Haven't found anything as cool as a snow planet yet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally feels like a setup, but Im lost, so I figure it can help me for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't like you tearing up the planet with your mining laser, shooting the trees, blowing up all the rocks. That might not be their real purpose but it is how they act. They are on all planets but their numbers are random. Some planets will be crawling with them others will have very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno yet, haven't taken to space travel Just running along exploring and cataloging while ducking the drones. Getting used to when where and how to apply resources, and use the jetpack, while stocking my inventory and fixing my ship Whatever planet im on (I named it Paraxenos), there's someone else here (intelligent life).

Plus I can find good resources in there. On your planet do you have the monolith heridium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
