Consider me a glutton for punishment. As in, the game’s punishing physics engine. Sadly it’s even worse in Multiplayer.
But what’s this? Yes.. I did say “I’LL NEVER PLAY THIS DAMN THING!!!”.. yet I’m playing again, still trying to make a rover that will do whatever the fuck I throw at it. And due to my awesome nature of never being happy, I’ll never get it.
Because what I want, will never be possible in this game. I always ask way.. way too much from physics engines; taxing it past its limits and then screaming like an 8 year old at my monitor when the game refuses to do what I want.
And what I want to see… wasn’t planets. Sure, planets are nice. But when rovers are absolute SHIT at going over “what the hell am I doing here?!” terrain, there’s really no point to play.
Don’t understand how a rover cannot handle jagged terrain. It’s supposed to be an ATV. My only guess is I need to use the 5×5 wheels to have a rover to do what I want. Thought of another design, to have an interior to it. But with how blocky the blocks are, this is being thrown for a loop as well.
What I want from this game (besides tons of optimization), is AI players. Fully customizable, able to board ships or whatever and act like human players. To even be able to say “I need a lift!”, and having an AI come down with a dropship to grab my rover and take me back to my main ship.
Right now, you can actually have semi-AI pilots fly around a pre-determined course (yet the player has to set it up via GPS coords) by using remote control. Yet they aren’t going to be smart enough to act like real players.
Another thing I want real players, is it would give me an incentive to build a large ship that has a crew quarters, where they can hang out. And to see them running around the ship would be so cool. It’ll feel like I’m not alone anymore.
I guess I’m just getting bored exploring by myself. I really wish I could join a server and get advice on how I can improve my current builds (really, I do. I would love to be able to build like a pro). But I cannot. It’s not the fact I’m too scared, it’s the fact Multiplayer is a fucking mess right now. The physics are just so messed up, it’s amazing their ships aren’t randomly combusting just by idling in space.
So… I dunno what I’m going to do. To stop playing, doesn’t fix anything. It really doesn’t. Plus I lost all the edits I did to my modified SS Benie, because I forgot to make a blueprint, and it pissed me off so much when it was having issues. I think I know what caused it. But sadly I cannot test as all of those edits are gone.
I thought of just rebuilding the damn thing. I got somewhat of an idea for the bridge. Yet the rest is a complete blur. It’s very annoying.
