@HAWKLANDER was interested in it but i dunno if he ever got it.
it was one of @rocketsod main games in his intro post

I have it but I am stuck on ARK right now. I really want to get into it at some point.
I bought it but Iām not sure. HUGE learning curve. I jumped into the tutorials and all I can say is that this may be the hardest game I have ever seen. First mission was to shoot some containers. Tutorial shows you which button deploys guns and which button fires. There is nothing on how to drive or steer your ship. From what I have read and watched, I really want to like the game but I am not sure I have the patience.

Reminds me of EVE online.
Have a friend I saw playing it last night (he also played EVE), Iāll ask him what he thinks.
I expect ridiculous learning curve and a complete time sink.
100s of hours later I imagine I still wouldnāt understand everything.
Iām curious how this game plays out.
Looks like a cross between EVE and Star Citizen, but then again CCP is working on EVE: Valkyrie at the moment, and that looks promising as well.
Ahhhā¦ too many space shooters. First world problems.

My brief time with it was fun. Being a sci-fi nut it made me tingle down there. There is a lot to learn and perfect. I would have played more if I had people to play with at the time.
I have never played any of the games mentioned above. Maybe I should have. All I have learned is that there is no instructions and it is hard. I am going to go home after work today and give it another try but I donāt expect to like it any better lol. Not sure I have the patience to learn a game like this.
Youtube videos got me to were I could play it enough to get started. Landing(parking) is a bitch.
Yeah, I hear parking is a bitch. It took me forever to blow up a container on the first tutorial lol. I can only imagine how hard parking is going to be. I think I read you can equip something on your ship to help with parking. I just watched a couple of videos linked inside the tutorial (should have watched them yesterday) that cleared up a few things. Ran the first three tutorials again and did a little better this time around. At least I didnāt feel like throwing my controller through the tv this time.

Sometimes I wanna acquire a few old tube tvs just to break them in moments of rage.
I hopped in a chat with Tengu the other day while he and a couple other guys were playing. That is what lead me to looking into the game. I watched a few more videos that really helped explain things. I actually docked my ship last night for the first time and honestly, it was the most satisfying moment I have had in gaming in a long time. I spent 10 minutes trying to line up my ship the first time only to dock at the wrong landing pad. Turns out this is illegal and I was promptly blown up. After that, I actually landed the ship at the right pad and like I said, it was awesome. Canāt wait to play again now.

Anyone deciding to play this gameā¦I HIGHLY recommend getting a joystick. Alsoā¦map out your keysā¦there are so many functions in this game and they are ALL able to be customized. Wish your Overview/HUD was a different colorā¦you can even change that.
All of this greatness and I havenāt even mentioned or talked about the expansion which allows you to land on planets, scout, drive around and carry out various missionsā¦I have yet to play the expansion part of the gameā¦but it looks pretty freaking awesome too.
I have this game on PC. I purchased it through the Developerās website, which i also recommend. If you do purchase through the developerās website, you can obtain a āsteam codeā to link your game to Steam. Doing it this way ensures more money goes to the developer.
I bought it for the Xbox. Just finished my first real mission. I decided to jump into multiplayer and start my career. Iām understanding how to steer a little better. I felt like it was time. I accepted a mission to deliver something to a distant place. I fumbled through my navigation and picked out where I was going and charged things up and away I went. Still having a little trouble docking. I was setting it down exactly where I was suppose to and it wouldnāt dock. I had to take off a couple of times and come back in and try again. This mission had me go to four different places before I could collect my 67,000 credits. It took me almost two hours. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It was awesome. Iām sure if I knew what I was doing, it was probably a 30 minute job. I also had problems knowing when to come out of hyperdrive, or whatever itās called and over shot things a few times.
I have never been much of a sci fi guy. I have never dreamed of going into space. This game sucks you in and is hard to explain but you honestly feel like you are in space. Space is a beautiful place and so is this game.
Stupid Drunken Impulse Purchase ACHIEVED! (damn these half priced games)
Iām just going through some tutorials and havenāt started the game yet. Which faction are you in?

Just read @EnyoBellonaās post and it is really intriguing. Though the āItās not easy figuring this game outā scares me off. I loved flying around in space in Star Trek Online.
The learning curve is huge from my understanding and there doesnāt appear to be an in game tutorial. Which is odd.
If it was easier I would be all over it. But with the difficulty I feel like I would be trying to plant corn in the winter.
