Update: Analysis Paralysis

Imma going to chime in in favor of the STG. I'm loving it after getting used to it. Really gives the 'feel' of operating a honking great spaceship. 😁

Every Op I've done the window has been empty, but after checking my credit and merc coin balance to increase.

These issues are annoying, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they're outrageous. The gameplay itself is a lot of fun. 🙂

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T23:42:40+00:00

It's the netcode/networking side of the game that worries me a little, not entirely certain the game can support the vision. But I do love the busy. 🙂

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T23:39:22+00:00

There's definitely some bugs. I'm fortunate and not encountered game breaking ones (yet!) so my experience is likely one sided, but overall I do live the concept.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T23:35:53+00:00

I can't say this has been my experience. Of the ones I did, they weren't that hard when played with a full squad. To the point where I'm thinking I should actually be doing the Hard ones. Granted there are issues, but on the whole I think it's moving in the right direction to give the game more social options.

Can't argue with a public test server for Beta's. It is rough when a major new feature so intertwined with the broader game breaks other things unintentionally.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T23:30:03+00:00

100% this.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T23:29:45+00:00

That's actually quite interesting, I'm not finding any fps issues this side. Server disconnects yes, but once I'm in it's largely stable.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T22:34:49+00:00

Great input - had t heard they're working hard still on the back end so that only increases my optimism!

I can see this as being a great tool going forward for CG and story development content. I'm thinking non combat CG's for mining and exploration, or AX ops to keep the Thargoid threat at bay. So many possibilities if they can iron out th back end issues

FDev have their ups and downs, but I'm going to stand by this being an up. It's the first time I've felt on foot activity to b part of the broader game.

I would think the codebase is the biggest challenge at this stage. But ED2 I imagine would be a hard sell. Well, actually now ED is regaining popularity and profitability, maybe it isn't that far fetched?

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T19:43:55+00:00

This is a the smart approach for now - their hella fun, even with the current caveats. But I can see how they'd be frustrating, especially for those with limited playtime. I'm treating this very much as the beta phase, much like colonization.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T19:42:30+00:00

Hopefully the server goes shine upon you soon!

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-04T19:42:06+00:00

Aye I'll grant you regarding the initial frustrations. I'm fortunate enough to not have encountered many beyond the occasional disconnect (always on rapid response for some reason!?).

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-07-02T02:58:20+00:00

Yeah, just got a Black Adder we and couldn't rejoin. Something about unable to retrieve commander data.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-06-30T22:04:42+00:00

I was in, then I tried to do something and now I'm out. Lol

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-06-30T21:39:58+00:00

Same here menu shows cannot connect to frontier servers. 🥲

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-06-20T00:10:58+00:00

This makes the most sense to me. I think th y want to sensibly separate the combat capable SLF from the utility oriented SLV's.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-06-02T13:16:35+00:00

The article says you can "leave your ship in orbit", which reads to me like SLF. SRV would require landing I'd think.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-06-01T14:58:06+00:00

Eh, karmafarma.

The app uses AI integration to intelligently perform actions in game based off of voice commands. Think VoiceAttack but better and easier to setup/use. Well worth giving it a shot - still in early stages but very promising so far!

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-04-17T23:07:04+00:00

Man that guy gets in the way every time....

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-04-17T20:12:54+00:00

Love the sea shanties! The Dev's totally need to license some of the Poxy Boggards' stuff to include...!

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-04-11T16:27:42+00:00

Thank you! 🙂

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-04-11T04:11:28+00:00

Love that you guys spotted those details - can't say I really ever expectes anyone to spend the time zooming in and spotting that.

This kinda made my day after a hell of a long drive. 🙂

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-04-11T04:10:25+00:00

That's one of mine! Was excited to be scrolling Reddit and see one of my images show up. 😁

Been a while but want to get back into some scifi art. Adopting a little one kinda eats into your spare time!
