Been playing for about 30 hours - so take them as you will.

1. Stay on your starting planet as long as you can, find upgrades for your multi-tool, your suit, and ship.
1a. Concentrate on your multi-tool for mining first, then suit, then ship.
2a. If you go to an outpost or something larger, they sometimes offer for sale a larger slot multi-tool - but talk to the alien first, sometimes they give you one if you answer questions correctly (learn their lingo - it helps out) - you can always back out of convo's to come back, once you pick something - that is it for that alien. I saved 175K credits by talking first.

2. Look for drop pods - they upgrade your suit storage. This is key - need storage to get credits - first one is free, after that - the price increase 10K per slot. :P

3. Recipes can be found everywhere - seek them out. They become very helpful as you progress.

4. Follow the Atlas... :geek:

5. Beware pirates, but if you die, go back to your grave to get your loot - but any progress not saved is lost (so save often).

6. Some fauna comes out only at night, and some only during the day. Sometimes at certain times (sun setting - etc...) - makes it fun to find them. Some flying fauna is too high to scan - shoot them down and scan the corpse. :dance:

7. Dont worry about upgrading your ship till you learn new tech to put in them - you cant transfer between them.

8. If you trade in your multitool or ship - deconstruct the tech - so you can keep the materials. Speaking of materials - always keep Plutonium, Carbon, Titanium with you - you will need it (charge your multitool with carbon - ship with plutonium, Titanium for shields)

9. When placing tech in your tool/ship/suit - put similar ones next to each other for bonuses. You can tell when you do, they will all be highlighted in a certain color. Sometimes - you will have to destroy tech to place them in a better location.

10. Don't rush - explore - the center of the galaxy will still be there.



So far, I have a 24 slot multi-tool, a 31 slot ship (with better shields/controls) and a 30 slot suit. With 2 mil credits in the bank. (spent about 15 mil so far (suit upgrades/ship purchase)

Suit has underwater breathing/toxin protections/heat/cold/extra stamina/health/jumpjet.

Multi-tool has max cooling/mining/weapons - max scan.
Ship is in the process of being battle ready.

Can understand the Vy'keen enough to be an ally to them - and lucked out being on a temperate planet for the start.

I fully explored my starting planet - and was awarded 250K for doing it.

Have fun and if you have any other questions - ask!
Well, I've got 53.6 hours in now, so most of this I know. Plus, I was so prepared after backseat driving a bunch of streamers who played before me, that I was over-prepared. :)

1. I'm not in any rush at all. I stayed on my first planet for quite a long time. The only one I didn't stay long on so far, was one with sentinels described as "frenzied". I simply stepped out of my ship and began visor analyzing stuff, and suddenly red angry sentinels were after me and calling for back up! I dindu nuffin! Really! I didn't even mine or kill or break into any secure places! Anyways, I got out of there quick. :)

2. I LOOOOVE those things! I get a new exosuit upgrade every chance I get.

3. I've got so many recipes for stuff, they are coming out my alien ass! Especially for my multitool. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry shelter I come across has a dispenser for new ones.

4. Absolutely. How could I not?

5. So far, I've only died once, and it was on a planet. I had a very recent restore, so I just went back to that. My strategy for avoiding space pirates is working out very well. I have no interest in fighting - just exploring, making some upgrade/ship money, and finding out the unfolding story. My strategy is this: I just put all my valuables in my exosuit whenever I'm in space. My ship has nothing there for pirates to scan. I also sell all things on the same planets I mine them on. I don't give a shit about market prices, just here's a bunch of stuff Mr Alien, and I'll take whatever wad of units you want to give me). While on the planets, I fill up my ship and take stuff to the planetside galactic market terminals, but in space only my exosuit contains anything valuable. Also, I'm not going for any of those options to rescue ships or to break into secure facilities. I almost did the latter once, but attracted sentinel attention before I could get in and ran away like the law abiding chicken that I am. Still have to be ready to fight though, and I have had to kill the odd deranged animal or two. There might be something special waiting at the secured places though - I forget from the streams I saw, so the next really lax or passive sentinel planet I find, I'll take out my boltcaster and do some damage to those steel doors.

6. If you're into collecting the bonuses for finding all "records" animals, one streamer had a good sounding idea. I don't know if it worked or not, but in case one of his missing discoveries was a scavenger, he killed a couple animals and then waited nearby to see if anything came out to eat them.

7. I'm taking my time with ship upgrades. So far, I'm only on my second one. It's one of those lopsided weirdo ones, which I suspect will gradually upgrade to being more explorer oriented. Sean Murray said that the small symmetrical ones are fighters, and I figure the bulky squared ones are traders, so that leaves the lopsided ones to be explorers. Maybe the extra parts will someday unlock to become cloaking devices or something. It looks strange but I like it. I really need to take some pictures for the next time I visit back home to Earth.

8/9. When I'm in space, I stock up on Thamium9 for my pulse engine (enough for a bit into the future), and for on the planets, I like to keep a lot of plutonium on hand to jump around all over the place with my launch thruster. Also, for walking around, zinc or titanium for hazards - even a nice planet can have sudden storms. I can usually find enough plutonium and carbon for life support when needed, but I like to arrive at a planet with a bit of those in stock too, for just in case. I'm currently on a planet with titanium crystals here and there, so I'm stocking up. I'm also gradually building up my various hazard protections, including lining things up so the outlines light up.

10. I am sooooo not rushing! It's a bit hard when I hear of people on their second galaxy, but I'm taking my time.

dogen wrote: 11. Manufacturing Bypass Chips and then selling them is an incredibly efficient way to raise cash. So is collecting Vortex Cubes (some planets have em lying around; but the sentinels don't take kindly to them being harvested, so come loaded for bear)

12. When following a path through the galaxy, it's often possible to travel multiple segments of the path with a single hyperspace jump. Especially if you have a warp engine upgrade. So, follow the path until you reach a system which has 'out of range' (or something) written at the bottom of its description; then, backtrack to the previous system and jump to there.
11. I'm going to have to try that one. Just two easy to find ingredients too. Hmmm. I usually just keep them on me for those signal finding light thingies.

12. I don't want to miss any systems in between the ones I warp to, but I know I'll have to eventually to get to the center. I'm currently not going through any solar system without going to every single planet and moon too at this point, since I don't want to miss any - I considered passing on one last moon and luckily I didn't - it was the lushest planet I've seen yet. I want to see every single 18 quintillion one of them! :)

That is the dumbest shit I've ever seen in my life. I like Tom's activity in the comment section. It's amazing that the same people who are brought to tears over the mischaracterization of an animated Hispanic taco love to talk about the "fragile male ego."

And as always, they note that white people can join the conversation by "shutting up."

I must disagree. We just need a lot more chlorine in the gene pool. My dad always used to say "too many people, not enough leopards." It used to bother me that he said it loudly at my school functions.

I recon folks what'll get eaten first are the vegans trying to convert the leopards to an all-tofu diet. Then the idiots buried in their smartphones tweeting out their Very Important Thoughts. Hipsters attempting to pose with them, furries attempting to fuck them, endless fun. I think this old cripple will be pretty safe, seeing as I have situational awareness, a great knowledge of the wilderness and animals, and a 45-70 Marlin.

I plan to get rich selling my all natural, trans-approved leopard repellent, the primary ingredients of which will be tuna fish and beef gravy. It will feature a trans WOC on the front, and the unmistakable message that only an MRA wouldn't use the stuff.

From the article:
Owen Smith, Labour leadership challenger wrote:We don't know. We would all hope that it happens quickly, we would all hope they stop being a murderous terrorist organisation and try and bring about peace. But at the moment there's no evidence of that, is there?
:lol: :lol: :lol: The Labour party is thoroughly fucked.
The two men also clashed over who was responsible for Labour's low opinion poll ratings, with Mr Smith repeating his assertion that Mr Corbyn could not lead the party to power and Mr Corbyn urging him to rejoin the shadow cabinet.
Gee, with leaders like Corbyn and Smith I wonder why the polls rating for the Labour Party are so low...

The 'dumbest shit I've ever seen in my life' barely covers it. Holy shit. holy. shit. Just look at this bit right here - honestly, didn't the writer even stop to think how utterly ridiculous this piece of writing was?
After we published the review, we heard from Latinx readers who believe the portrayal of Salma Hayek’s taco was racist and that it reinforced harmful stereotypes. We heard from readers who were upset that we labeled the taco a lesbian when it seems more likely that she was bisexual. We heard from readers who questioned the consent of the sexual encounter between the taco and the hot dog bun. We heard from readers who found the taco to be a damaging portrayal of a predatory queer woman.
I have to look at that bit again. I'm sorry, but -
We heard from readers who found the taco to be a damaging portrayal of a predatory queer woman
ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME???

Anyone with an ounce of sense would ignore readers like that. Holy shit. I cannot believe this was written in all seriousness. How utterly oblivious to you have to be to even the vaguest notion of what might constitute the absurd to write all that in the hope of sounding like a reasonable person just writing what reasonable people ought to think?

I can't honestly believe how far gone these people are. It's not even funny. Honestly, how can you get through to them? I mean, We heard from readers who questioned the consent of the sexual encounter between the taco and the hot dog bun - how do you begin reason with such people when to them, this is an entirely reasonable poser? Holy shit.

I guess I must have had some latent hope that even the most far gone SJW might have a vague, blasphemous inkling of how ridiculous it might all sound. But I guess not. Again -

Holy shit.

Unreal.

So does that mean she wrote that long poem just before she got to her little poetry slam, AFTER she arrived? Or is she clairvoyant and knew exactly how many times she would be cat called? Or did she have to circle around continuously on her way there trying to attract enough attention to be catcalled exactly 4 times.

The Swiss People's Party is a right-wing party, but it's the largest party in the Swiss Federal Assembly, and if it's "far-right" then the US Republicans are downright Nazis.

Yeah, I mean this is the area where, once the main battle against authoritarianism, free speech, etc., is won, Pitters (and others who are now in coalition against the regressives, SJWs, etc.) will start splitting up, swearing at each other, etc., etc., which is all quite right and proper.

I view it as, there are natural "Right" and "Left" tendencies within liberalism itself, the former more concerned with overall stability, conservation of what has been achieved, and the logical priority of individual (negative) rights, the latter more concerned with trading off some degree of long-term success for the short-term goal of raising the level of the poorest, compensating for accidents of birth, misfortune, etc.. And that's actually a healthy to and fro - so long as it's all held in the context of an individualistic philosophical foundation. It's really only the collectivist element on both the Right and Left that has to be avoided.

Some degree of group analysis is necessary to understand things, but as soon as the group is elevated over the individual, the core sense of liberalism is lost. Also, as soon as people start caring about group desserts, balance and relations between groups, etc., they're caring about abstractions rather than people.

Haven't the foggiest idea how you might integrate some of those aspects into a "sea filled planet", but it might be kind of cool if you did so. Bit of an inside joke, kind of like "Rayshul's Perfection" planet, and the flower you were thinking of as an emblem for it. :-)

But, somewhat apropos of which, I had been reading On Stormy Seas - written, as it happens, by an old aquaintance - that described the voyages of discovery by Captain George Vancouver, and which you might be interested in. ....
The Korvax are the scientist race. The other two are traders and warriors. The Korvax would definitely be the ones most suited to the definition of cybernetics by both the common 'robot' definition and the one above. They are not a lifeform but an electronic shell (maybe they are somewhere remote? or maybe they are secretly the ancient Atlas race? who knows, don't change that Bat-channel!), so both robots and understanders/definers of systems. Anyways, if I can find a sea filled planet in a Korvax-run solar system, I will name it "Stormy Seas of Steersman". :)

Cool. :handgestures-thumbupright: :flags-canada: :-)

But, somewhat apropos of the game itself, a somewhat amusing, though equally disconcerting, tweet from Dave Rubin:

Maybe you can take some consolation or satisfaction from that in knowing you're unlikely to be running into any other players who are slavish devotees of Jezebel. Though I kind of agree with their general premise that "man" being a definition for both a male member of the human species as well as the species tends to deprecate the contributions of women - part of my objection, no more than a quibble really, with Bronowski's book and documentary titled "The Ascent of Man". But I haven't noticed Jezebel or any other "feminist" leaping to the fore to accept blame for women in general as in the "man's inhumanity to man" for their no doubt trivial contributions to that. Methinks they doth protest too much.

Trying to ascertain the limits of the ridiculousness of sjw-ism is like descending in a submersible to what you thought was the bottom of the Marianas Trench, only to find another Marianas Trench.

I fucked up. I meant the one that gives schools public money. Not an American, etc. But maybe I didn't miss that much seeing schools getting sued for their kangaroo courts over sexual matters.

I've compared it to Mt Olympus on Mars. You keep thinking you are nearing the peak but the mountain is so huge the summit is still over the horizon.

I think the absurdity is the point. How better to demonstrate your SJW credentials than expressing a belief in something so clearly ridiculous?

This has been leading the news in the UK. Not sure what happened with the woman on the left. Bad case of alopecia, perhaps.

Anyway, I lolled at their idea of committing a "perfect murder", only for them to detail it in one of their diaries. Which they left for the police to find! :doh:

I have to say that those blades, which can still be bought and used in antique GEM razors, would be better used in paint scrapers. I'll stick with my straight razors, which allow me not to worry about forearm anatomy when I wish to do the deed.
Now if I had only known of that difference some 50 years ago (she loves me, she loves me not) ....

But as a doctor, even as an erstwhile one, I would have thought you would have ready access to pharmacological solutions to that problem rather than having to rely on cruder and messier mechanical ones. In any case, kind of curious about your views on Canada's recently ratified assisted dying bill. While it certainly seems a step in the right direction, it also seems to leave high and dry many of those for whom the scene in no longer worth the candle. Unfortunate that those people - a group which, potentially at least, includes all of us - will now have take that battle to the courts once again.

Title IX states that: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.Apr 29, 2015

... as opposed to Chapter which is 9 yadda etc.

Another difficult rape story for the SJWs to deal with. I've only just heard of it, and I've only just heard of the actor - NATE PARKER.

He is, apparently, fairly high profile now, but was accused of rape when he was a student, about 15 years ago. The story has resurfaced because his "victim" has committed suicide.

Problem for the SJWs is that Nate is a PoC.

The one of the left looks like she snorted Dennis Hopper's ashes.

Yes you did fuck up by not being borned an American. You should ever feel ashamed of that fact.

As an American, I am born with the ability to speak, American. English, Bad English, and Kick Ass.

Yup. The guy has a WHITE wife. Obviously a traitor of some sort, and obviously not a GENUINE "person of color", according to SJWs.

Aside from the obvious mystery of how TOTP manages to find so many people who cannot dance in time to the music, it has to be asked why the southern tradition for big hair is so persistent. As sceptics, these are the important questions that SJWs are keeping us from.
