Space stations don't seem to give out suit upgrades anymore. Is a crashed pod the only way to get one now?

Is there something else to do on freighters that you don't own apart from buying them and interacting with the ship captains that dock there?

Also, base building seems fun. But is there also a practical point to it that can help you in other aspects of the game?

Lots of people have this complaint so I'm betting this will be added eventually. Same thing happened with the resource scanning from outer space.

So no news yet on what the 1.13 update entailed? It was 1.5gb.

VV Thanks, Captain!

There is a garage attachment available for your homebase so you could be right.

You can only use the vehicles on your home base? So if your homebase is a freighter you can't have any?

Just loaded up my save after months of not playing it, and it crashed after 10 minutes. I'm on ps4.

Photo mode is very nice, though.

Looks like there's a patch incoming that would allow for vehicles on every planet, not only your base.

Now that's interesting. The PC and PS4 probably don't use the same universe?

Can you find atlaspasses v2 and v3 without doing the Atlas? I sold all my stones but I can still go to anomalies.

If so, where? Wiki says in manufacturing plants but I've been doing those on and off for months now. Still no luck.

What's the point of black holes? They don't seem to teleport me very far and mining 500 gold and buying dynamic resonators each time to fix my drives takes more time than just going there manually?

The new photo mode is fantastic. I'm having way more fun just exploring and taking pictures. Taken on a ps4.

It's not the only ship in the game, just leave it and continue your travels. Luck of the draw plays a big part in this game.

I haven't played in a few months but I like(d) the game. Not sure if I'm going back anytime soon, though. Maybe after another big update.

Are there still updates planned? It's been quiet.

I didn't know Elite is coming out for the PS4! But is it really boring? How does it compare to Freelancer, which is the best game in the genre imo.

I'm still not sure I'm going to be playing this game ever again, but I'm still really curious about what they have in store for it. And I'm also one of those people that like it, got my money's worth multiple times already.

What sort of extra stuff could they still put in the game at this point, I wonder.

If Elite hadn't come out, I'd probably still be playing this game. I still like it, though.

I liked the orb system in Fable. It made you see other players without having to look at their big ugly avatar or having them be in your way and blocking your view.

Quite the update! That terrain editing :o
Also, low flight and you can apparently crash into the surface now. Finally you can adjust the FOV.

This seems big enough to start up a new game.

How do I use the new slots in my suit, like cargo, tech,...? They are empty and I can't seem to transfer stuff to it. My inventory is full yet these slots stay empty?
