Hello forum! I´ve been playing the game since I bought it last saturday night. Let me tell briefly how I found this gem of a game. I´ve been watching The Expanse (the TV series. Guess you all know about it already. If not, stop what you are doing and go watch it NOW) and I started searching for a game that could put me in that sort of scifi world. I resumed playing Surviving Mars, but it got recently broken by a rushed patch (in another attempt by Paradox to squeeze a game that they´d forgotten for a long time). I also went back to SoaSE, but it still feels designed for multiplayer, as good as it is. Stellaris is not an option, since I got buried under the immense boredom of the late game, and the constant updates and forced DLC´s drive me crazy. Endless Space feels casual...
Distant Worlds looks very interesting, but I´d rather wait until they release DW2, which is to supposed to come this year.
So, I found a video about this game on youtube and it instantly caught my attention. Indeed, it displays the same grim atmosphere that is portrayed in The Expanse, and a lot of other relatable elements that you can figure out by yourselves if you´ve watched the show (including newtonian physics for the ships´movement)
So here I am, enjoying a new game which I think I can fall in love with, and becoming a part of this nice community. In the few hours I´ve spent with the game a couple of ideas have come to my mind as suggestions for the devs:
- including the ability to negotiate with pirates and give them part of my cargo, so they leave me go without a fight. Don´t need to expand of this one, i think, beyond declaring that I´d rather lose some money than one of my beloved ships.
- Being able to know in advance if a station is disabled. i say this because i planned a trade route that used a pirate station, but on arrival i found that it had been disabled by a recent attack, so there went my plan. So it would be very convenient I think to have info about the station status, either as a specific icon in the map, or in the corresponding tab in the intel section (or both)
Those are my two suggestions for the moment being, but expect more ;-)
I checked the frequent suggestions thread before posting this, so I hope i´m not repeating another previous post.
Glad to meet you all here o7
