As in, the game&#8217;s punishing physics engine. Sadly it&#8217;s even worse in Multiplayer.<br \/>\nBut what&#8217;s this? Yes.. I did say &#8220;I&#8217;LL NEVER PLAY THIS DAMN THING!!!&#8221;.. yet I&#8217;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&#8217;ll never get it.<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nAnd what I want to see&#8230; wasn&#8217;t planets. Sure, planets are nice. But when rovers are absolute SHIT at going over &#8220;what the hell am I doing here?!&#8221; terrain, there&#8217;s really no point to play.<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t understand how a rover cannot handle jagged terrain. It&#8217;s supposed to be an ATV. My only guess is I need to use the 5&#215;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.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;I need a lift!&#8221;, and having an AI come down with a dropship to grab my rover and take me back to my main ship.<br \/>\nRight 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&#8217;t going to be smart enough to act like real players.<br \/>\nAnother 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&#8217;ll feel like I&#8217;m not alone anymore.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;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&#8217;s not the fact I&#8217;m too scared, it&#8217;s the fact Multiplayer is a fucking mess right now. The physics are just so messed up, it&#8217;s amazing their ships aren&#8217;t randomly combusting just by idling in space.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; I dunno what I&#8217;m going to do. To stop playing, doesn&#8217;t fix anything. It really doesn&#8217;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.<br \/>\nI thought of just rebuilding the damn thing. I got somewhat of an idea for the bridge. Yet the rest is a complete blur. It&#8217;s very annoying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider me a glutton for punishment. As in, the game&#8217;s punishing physics engine.
