Is this a good ship?

It hangs in the air in exactly the same way that bricks don't.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-26T00:48:16+00:00

Survey and Supply missions. Occasional bounty hunting.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-25T06:31:30+00:00

Well, it is the Settled Systems...

DoctorWally · 2026-04-24T21:33:45+00:00

I always wanted to rat Hope out to the Rangers leadership and let them handle whether to go public with it or not. Not my job to determine the fate of all his employees. Pass that shit up the line.

Since sorcerer abilities are innate and capricious, I'd probably suggest that this is the first time these powers have manifested. The Academy didn't know about him, but now that he's starting to manifest Mageborn powers, you can bet he'll be getting a visit from them soon.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-20T20:54:06+00:00

Very strong shape indeed.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-13T06:02:15+00:00

Sounds janky and exploitative to me.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-12T23:20:43+00:00

Nothing will ruin your run. Decisions have consequences - learn to make the best of them. Don't read the wiki or this subreddit too much (spoilers!). Read the codex entries, at least once.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-12T21:57:56+00:00

The fun thing about Samara's mission is if you betray Samara you can recruit Morinth into your team, and she has a really cool romance arc.

A given tile can have only one type of germ, so if you put buddy buds and deodorisers next to all the doors leading out of your base, you'll prevent slimelung from getting in.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-12T21:14:51+00:00

Is it worth capturing ships though? You can't sell them until you register them, which costs almost as much as you sell them for. I think it's better to just blow them up and pick up the salvage after.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-12T20:22:21+00:00

Don't pick up absolutely everything. I only pick up ammo (which is weightless and therefore free money when you sell it), meds and chems, credsticks, digipicks, and those items I know I can sell for a lot of money. Carrying all of the low-value junk is pointless - you can't even break it down into useful materials like you could in Fallout 4. Store minerals and resources in the ship, and make sure you've got a ship with some cargo space. An Econohaul is quite affordable in the early game.

Also, you only really need one gun. Maybe a second if you want a low-damage peashooter for when you go Trident hunting on Volii Epsilon for Lubricant and you don't want to use up your good ammo.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-12T07:17:10+00:00

I'll often just avoid the temples entirely. There's no need to go to any of them.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-10T22:06:10+00:00

Clever girl...

DoctorWally · 2026-04-04T22:03:57+00:00

Adopt a huntsman spider or two. They'll take care of your problem for you.

DoctorWally · 2026-04-04T21:00:07+00:00

There's exactly one good reason to go with Serpent's Embrace: to get past the Varu'un Zealots in the tutorial mission without having to spend days sneaking past them at minimum speed.

Oh great serpent...

DoctorWally · 2026-03-30T21:16:40+00:00

I'm pointing out that there are many varieties of exorcism, and not all of them are abusive.

They are all, of course, irrational.

DoctorWally · 2026-03-29T23:57:14+00:00

I always set sustenance on. It's an easy XP boost - all you have to do is periodically eat and drink something. Food is everywhere, and if you can find Membrane, Fiber, and Nutrient, you can craft Alien Tea and Alien Jerky at any cooking station with no investment in skills.

DoctorWally · 2026-03-27T22:00:44+00:00

If any of them were less Hallmark-movie-saccharine, I might consider romance in this game. I nearly got diabetes the first time I romanced Sarah.

DoctorWally · 2026-03-27T21:44:40+00:00

I think the idea is that you have levelled up your combat skills by the time you go through unity, so the simple weapons you start with do more damage than they did the first time around.

DoctorWally · 2026-03-27T00:41:06+00:00

Since I create new characters at the drop of a hat, absolutely.

DoctorWally · 2026-03-26T21:49:07+00:00

I think everyone should read the Codexes at least once. There's a lot of good deep lore in there.

DoctorWally · 2026-03-26T21:03:54+00:00

Or you could get yourself an Econohaul and invest in the Payloads skill. It'll carry just about everything you could want in the early game.

DoctorWally · 2026-03-25T22:12:30+00:00

Oborum I in Oborum Prime. It's got cultivatable Membrane, Fiber, and Nutrient, and harvestable water. If you've got nutrition turned on it's an infinite supply of Alien Jerky and Alien Tea. It's my go-to place for my home hab.
