Quote HistoryQuoted: I had a fair amount of fun when Space Marine had the private server option. The FPS was pretty decent playing in that venue, for guys running around in the vast nothing it's a little tough and the AI still does some silly things. 1. Clear 1st bunker. O.k., getting the hang of it. 2. Enemy glitches in 2nd bunker, die. No longer in front of me. Now shooting me from side. 3. Return to 2nd bunker, bug prevents me from looting my own body. Couldn't equip anything. 4. Return to 2nd bunker again. Now the mission is over, guards turn hostile and kill. 5. Back to Loreville to stock up on armor, but they don't have guns. 6. 3rd bunker with pistol. Going fine at first. Accidentally shoot friendly. Die. 7. End up in prison. Log off rather than deal with BS Now, yeah bad night for n00b. But I really question this design/mechanic. You are going to die a lot in FPS gameplay. That's the nature of it. To make you run around and gather all your stuff back each time is madness. And now the new patch is adding rare loot, more madness. And while I like the prison mechanic for PKs and griefers, I think it is a little insane that you get it from a FF incident in a bunker mission. I just don't see this concept being successful long term. Maybe the devs will change it, but they seem pretty set down this path.  |

This isn't your typical FPS, and once it goes live you won't be treating it like one. Death will have significant consequences, almost ruinous if you haven't taken precautions. You'll need to adjust your playstyle accordingly. I'm sure prison will get tweaked/tuned a lot, I think it's just the skeleton of the system right now. |

Also try not doing risky things solo. Then only the odd bugs will kill you.
 But FPS fighting, always bring a partner. Being able to heal / revive each other is going to just get more and more important as they add depth to the mechanics. |

Just dumped a ton today on a new pre-built. Figured my wife would kill me if I added the warthog to the bill. Pretty pumped as I haven't had a gaming computer in about 20 years. Need to figure out what to sell to get the warthog. |

The clear the cave mission is pretty damned fun. Ground combat in the stealth setting works well. And the caves have this wonderfully ominous feet about them.

After hearing about this game back in 2012 and following it off and on for the last 10 years, I broke down and finally bought in.
There is definitely some super frustrating shit but damn I am really digging this....it's scratching my space Sim itch that Elite Dangerous or any other space game to date just cant touch. Going on an EVA to pick up some dudes space blow up doll from a fucked up space station and delivering it then going, landing my ship on a desolate planet and smoke checking some assholes in a bunker with my assault rifle....the seemless blend is just...awesome, bugs and all. I'm really excited to see what the future brings for this....in another 10 years LOL. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm interested in starting this game. Is there any particular (currently available) package that's better than any other? It depends on your price point. However, generally the most popular starter package for most is the Avenger Titan package. If you are looking to spend the least money possible you can get by with the Aurora package and upgrade later in game. |

I've only been playing a couple months, but it allowed me to explore a few different game loops and build up in-game money. Then I was able to start renting other ships before spending real money. There will be a free-fly event and ship sale at the end of May if you care to wait a little bit. Then you can try different ships and some game packages may be on sale as well. |

WTF is up with your ship getting blown off a landing pad? Bug or bad storm that was supposed to happen?
Was doing a delivery run and it said something about my ship blocking the pad. I ran out to move it and it was blown up against the outpost and disappeared when I was trying to get in it. |

Absolutely a bug . . .I've come to terms that probably 25% of my game time while playing SC is going to be for nothing due to game breaking bugs. It is what it is. And I've only been in this for a few weeks now. I put on a backpack a few days ago. Exploded. Like no shit, blew up like I had strapped on a suicide vest. Dead as fuck. Got on an elevator. Fell through the level geometry. Boop. Dead. Ran up some stairs. Blown clear across the room, lost 75% of my health. Almost dead. Do I get annoyed as all hell? Yes, but damn when this game works - it WORKS. |

My ship disappeared on a landing pad a week ago when I called in my ROC miner. No problem, I had a buddy come pick me up and when he did he got a blip on his radar. We go check it out and my ship was just floating randomly. So he backs up to it and opens his cargo door. I run out on the deck and open my cargo door, jump in and use it like nothing happened. Big mistake...
Later that night I log out in one of the beds on my ship and now I can't reconnect. I keep getting a 30009 connection issue. I guess my ship was bugged and the game still thinks I'm in a server. I'm just waiting for 3.17 to come out because I don't want to do a character reset which is the only thing I haven't done trying to fix the bug. Really enjoying the game other than some bugs. |

Why delay the character reset? You don't lose money, items, or reputation. You may have to re-certify or repeat some mission/certifications. If you have things in refinery you might lose those, but I think that's about it. Everything gets set back to the last "good" save your character had, which they recently (a patch or 3 ago) increased the number of times your character "state" is updated to the system. So the reset should not roll you back far.
ETA: You generally don't lose items, less likely than before, but sometimes ship upgrades still go poof. |

Having issues where resupply from the landing pad isn't reloading missiles. Using the mobiglass vehicle loadout isn't working either. I can get them loaded there and click save changes and it looks like I'm good to go. Go back into mobiglass and there is changes pending shown again with exclamation points. Pull my ship and no missiles

Seems to be an ongoing issue with others as well. This game is frustrating as hell but I'm still smitten with it. |

If this wipe fixes the broke ass inventory system, and nets performance issues, also some new stuff coming - I'm all for it.
I'm loving the gnashing of teeth by people who are somehow surprised the wipes are a thing . . . in an alpha. You just grinded your life away buying that A2 Herc? Whoops. I'm gonna lose like 8 mill AUEC, but I'm one of those retards that buys way too many ships with real money, so atleast I'll still have my hanger. Keeping the rep is nice too. |

The game is very playable these days, the only downside being the infrequent wipes (there was one a few months ago for the 3.17 release). The second system will likely show up in the next few releases. |

ETA I have much to learn, some keybindings to change, and more stuff to do, including getting my joystick out of storage. ETA 2: Found a crap controller to at least fly my ship a little. The cockpit look and feel is like old home week in a Wing Commander Broadsword. I neen a little more stick time on basics like finding my assigned LZ, etc, then I should be mission ready. I really liked Entropia Universe, save for its space aspect, which is too planar in nature. Ifs good to have 3 axis freedom again. :) |
