But so many updates and yet I find so many things I would have expected to at the very least have been improved. Seems a bunch of story was added, which was also desperately needed. Endless Sky would probably have joined that list, which is a real shame for such an amazing project.Īs a sidenote, I almost can't believe this game has barely improved since release. Main reason for many games not recieving any review in the first place. I've learned that if you don't have something nice to say, it's sometimes better to not say anything at all. Still, I wonder how my review may have looked if this was the same mechanic when I first played. I'm not expecting anything to change or be improved in this department either. I am simply making a statement about my own experiences. Not the kind of answers i'm looking for (No one ever is). In which case, kudos for making the best anti-cheat mechanic you could have - as it effectively stops one from trading at all. Unless that's how the dev perceives making money through trade. It's almost like an anti-cheat mechanic, except no one is trying to cheat. The fleets that spawn right on top of me as I exit any planet now are sometimes strong enough to instantly knock me and my fleet out. Now I upgraded to Mules asap, purely for the survival aspect, and it quickly wasn't enough. Could have a fleet of star barges without too much issues, if you kept to the right routes. I also don't remember things being this ridiculous some years back. Pirates are everywhere, constantly, and as I expand my fleet it becomes more and more impossible to play. North of space, south of space, the core. That's with scram drives and the best atomic engines that'll fit on a Mule. Actually, closer to 1/20, hence me writing this as the game is running on the background after another couple of dozen attempts to progress to the next port. Right now it's a game of luck, 1/10 times i'm able to safely land on the next destination, the other 9 I must reload. As fighting them in every single system is as futile as it gets, I don't know what else to do except just give up on trading and turn towards combat. This ends up in the gameplay of constantly reloading, hoping for RNG to let my fleet pass without an insanity amount of pirates. Other times it's a fleet with many times my strength. Sometimes it'll be a few fighters bothering me. Should not have to be such a huge problem, except the RNG is a massive pain, as it doesn't seem to matter how weak or strong I am at this point. Get a bigger ship to fend off the ever increasing threat - but guess what, you just made the threat bigger simply by getting a bigger ship. And that's where it gets ♥♥♥♥t - As you progress, you become stronger. The supposedly safest systems without any pirate bases even remotely close can be dominated by pirates of multitudes of my own networth. Those who pass through quickly, never will.Is it me or is has this mechanic gone a bit haywire? First off there is nowhere in human space where they don't seem to spawn. The locals know how special this land is. You may freeze, bake, drown or dehydrate all in the same day. It is an open land that defies an easy description. It varies from high dry plateaus to the wind and water carved badlands.Ĭottonwood and Box Elder crowd the streambeds vying for space among the chokecherries while the buffalo berry and juniper keep the ponderosa pine company on the northern side of the hills. The endemic prickly pear cactus is usually something to be avoided, but produces beautiful blooms and the fruit makes excellent jams. Sage Grouse, Frankolins, Hungarian Partridge, Sharptails live in the sagebrush that provides them cover, shelter and food. Mule Deer grow huge antlers, can live on brouse and very little water while surviving arctic conditions for months. Pronghorn Antelope have sped across these plains since the last ice age. The hills as far as the eye could see covered in a brown wooly mass of these iconic beasts. The high plains grasses supported herds of buffalo so numerous it took days for them to pass. Those who live there know that it is a complex eco-system comprised of plants and animals unique to the high plains and uniquely suited to life in this sometimes hostile environment.Īnimals here live in an abundance and diversity seldom seen in more fertile reigons where you may have one or 2 main species, and several smaller satallite species. The casual observer will see an arid, semi desolate landscape.
Eastern Montana is a paradox wrapped in an enigma.
