I forgot that you can board ships and fight them. I need to do that some.

Damnit...I can't wait for that XBox 4 to come in the mail. This game sounds so fun.

That makes it the most expensive game that I've ever bought, so kind of tough context maybe? But, yes!

Finally figured out how to add modules to my ship, so now I have all of the crafting stations on board. Nice.

As a longtime PlayStation guy... I can say that the XBOX is worth it on it's own! :thumbsup:

You can buy rechargeable packs off Amazon for like 20-25 bucks. They're worth it. Because you can also replace them unlike Sony's batteries.

I really hope they fix it...

I bet it works good with a mouse, just fucked up with a controller. Also, they gotta do something about the text. It hides in the world map and something about the text just doesn't work with my eyes. I think it's a tad too small, but moreso something is weird as fuck about it to me.

Definitely do not open this until you are way deep into the 'high price to pay' mission. It's the main quest line I believe. I'm also a bit curious if anyone got a different result? I'd guess that choices along the way may do so.

How much is your top ship worth? I have five right now. The one that I got

is still the best. With the additions I've done to that one, it's worth almost 400k.

Get arrested in New Atlantis and finish the crimson fleet quest line. You get an amazing ship that you can fly with low piloting skills! Trust me, you will love it!

Yeah, I really gotta start building some outposts so I can really get into the shop building. So far, I've just been upgrading what I have with habs and whatever. My Frontier ship looks like some Frankenstein monstrosity but it's got everything I can currently add to it on it. I think it will hold like 5 or 6 crew but my level only allows for 4 or something. I also just got the ship from my parents that I've upgraded with habs which holds 4 crew, the mantis ship which I haven't messed with, and the prison transport from the crimson fleet missions.
I really want to get into some dogfights with spacers or the crimson fleet soon so I can try my hand at stealing their ships. Maybe that's what I'll do with one of the new ships I haven't messed with. Keep the crew size low. Keep the cargo size low. And, just make it a straight up fighter with max sheilds and weapons to use as my repo ship to go steal ships from pirates with.

I bought the Narwhal, the alleged best ship in the game, for 462k! And, I can't fly it. Ugh. Have to be pilot level 4 to do so. I'm only level 2.

So many things to spend skill points on, so few skill points.

I got a ship from my parents, it's pretty freaking sweet. Also working on wrapping the Rangers questline.

I personally just don't like the Razorleaf. It's just "ugly".
