For $40 it really is worth it. I've gotten soooooooooo many hours out of the game over the years, but God do I hate that game some times. Just always be prepared to lose your progress for no fault of your own, it's a perpetually buggy mess.
Just yesterday I flew down to a planet to check out the ship expo going on, called ATC, got assigned a hanger, was just approaching the opening to land when suddenly it wasn't actually open and I get teleported out of my ship. Had I had any cargo it would have all been lost, but I've played enough of this game to know only bring what is absolutely necessary and going to an expo meant nothing was necessary thankfully lol
Thats my strategy for going to food markets. I take $20 of cash and leave my wallet at home. That way I don't end up buying and eating everything.
Sounds like the kind of game that would be painful to play while working 9-5. I can't imagine spending an evening of free time doing that just to die to a game-breaking bug.
It can be pretty disheartening so I tend to stick to things that simply complete with very little interaction like a merc mission where it's just killing things so you don't have to worry about losing anything and failing the mission, or losing money on trade goods.
I had the same experience with about a million in refined ore a few patches ago. I stopped selling ore on planets after that.
But I agree, it is a fun game, and it has made progress. Looking forward to what this year brings
I thought they needed all of that funding to develop their next-gen engine? Don't tell me they've been spending it on hookers and blow?
It's the servers mainly. They're still implementing some core tech so I guess they don't find it worth spending so much time getting the servers running perfectly when the next major change just ruins everything again. They're going to be completely changing planet and POI generation soon so that's probably going to mess a lot of things up.
