IDK man. I'm not a developer. Maybe they can't do anything. And I'm sure updating the UI would be a stupid amount of work for something that'd be mostly invisible, but I think it would benefit the game and the new player experience a lot. and the old player. the antediluvian player. me.

A lot of UI elements seem to have seemingly (to me) excessive load times. Not egregious amounts, but enough to think that they could be shorter. But I don't know what these UI elements are doing. I really can't stress enough I don't know anything. I've experienced exactly one side of this game.

I'd say a good 30% of outfitting is taken up by waiting for the game to load. Maybe I just don't understand things nowadays but I feel like we're at the point where we can speed that up a little, no? Not a big problem just a little annoying when I have a build planned.

One part where I think this jumps out in is the Outfitting/Livery screens. Very often in the past I've had to question where the part I am looking at is located, or want to see another angle of a ship part, or am just left waiting while the game loads.

YOOOOOOOOOOOO WADDA HELL THATS SO COOL!!!

life is a throne room and i am the fucking jester. or whatever

i've been itching to go out into the Black again for a while, and i was planning on using the Mandalay but... the Caspian is lookin real nice

But even when I lived with my dad, I'd get the "attempted delivery" message when I had been waiting in the loungeroom, looking out the window to the street the entire day.
I don't understand why they do this. It's not like I get this message at the end of the day, either.

Only one I've had luck with is Startrack. Which I think is a branch or owned by AusPost, but AusPost did that shit to me all the time while Startrack (in my current apartment) have consistently rung my bell.
Granted, my current place has a very very easy to access bell.

I dunno man. It's necessary and all but. I don't like it.
Go read the book. It's really, really good. Read it before you get spoiled in theatres.

Trailers spoil things. I know they do this, YOU 🫵 know they do this. I am telling you, with knowledge of the story, that these trailers reveal WAAAAAAAAAAY too much. Please. For the love of all the good in this world of ours. Do not watch the trailers.
I am on my hands and knees, and I am begging.

You may not know me, but please trust me: this story is great. This story will have a far greater impact if you DON'T WATCH THE TRAILERS. This is a full throated endorsement for the story, and a complete condemnation of the trailers. I dont fault the people who made it, but the product is hazardous.

also sorry bisky you haven't seen this part of me yet.

my apolocheese, irreplicable is not a word.

come over NOW

but i am greedy. i want MORE. i want more unique ships. i want one inspired by the thargoids. i want one in a shape we've never seen a ship. i want one that completely disregards any concept of aerodynamics.
