Hi everyone. New to the fediverse and Lemmy, like many others have said I’m more determined to get involved and to talk and contribute here. I don’t know why exactly. It just feels more authentic.
I’ve played the game since launch for several years. Last three years I’ve had a bit of a break. I’ve come back to so much content that I’m quite overwhelmed!
So my question is this. What are you all working towards in game now? What are your goals? What are you enjoying doing in game?
I’ve decided to try and get my fleet organised as I’ve never really even looked into that part of the game. Seems like a nice way to make some money and the new freighter redesign looks great! I don’t really understand the fleet mechanics at all.
I’m also trying to use the glyph exchange to find a nice exotic ship but I’ve just spent half an hour sat in a space port so far without the desired ship showing up.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone is up to in game!
I am working on my rainy day fund.
How long you expecting this rainy day to last?! Haha
I spend most of my time in Calypso. Those are the only days I’ve got.
Just playing like a contractor/merchant on my main save, occasionally doing the expedition if I feel they can be interesting. TBH I am still trying to iron out a logic, but nowadays I am playing a little less.
What is a good way to play a merchant? Get yourself a nice hauler or use your freighter with a fast ship to gerry goods?
For now I play with the freighter, lot of space to store items, but the problem is not the space, it is more about the game that has not any mechanism to play like this
I am procrastinating building a cyberpunk dystopia around an archive on an outrun- colored planet.
That sounds like a big project. Are there any building limits around a structure that big? If you can work it into your build I’m sure it will be pretty awesome. You will have to post some pictures of your progress
Yep, there’s a part limit, and so any “city-like” project ends up being more of a vignette then an actual metropolis. Mostly I’m hoping to capture that layered, cramped, gritty future-tech feel in the shadow of the looming (implied) arcology.
Ah that’s a shame. People still get to see your stylle though and appreciate all the details. I’ve seen some amazing builds! 😊
I’m trying to get to the galatic core. I think I must be doing it the hard way, because it’s taking forever. 😉
As much of a spoiler as it is, I found out, as I know many did before me, that there’s a quick route to the center of any galaxy. No, it’s not looking up a portal address close to the center from someone who went before, it’s just spamming the first glyph at any portal. Apparently, in this golden age without portal interference, the first glyph will always drop you within a few thousand lightyears of the core. This actually made me feel more connected to the community. Playing on the Nintendo Switch I don’t get to run into players at the Nexus, so seeing all the communication stations around the portal at the other end of the jump was a fun reminder other players had gone before.
