I said "HEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON"

You paid for cookies and decided to eat the cookie dough. Now you're complaining the cookies aren't crunchy or warm. You're whining at the baker who is busy cooking the dough you didn't already eat.

 

Sorry, but spoiling 96% of the excitement of exploration by giving up all the information of a planet in the navigation panel is a horrible idea. Please add a "Scan" button, which you have to press in order for that information to show up. Okay?

Kinda wonder where the promised update went.

 

I actual;ly was wondering the same thing....

My guess is either they are trying to cram a bit more into the patch or some unexpected bug game up and they did not want to have to hear the complaints.

 

and the dough he did eat.

also, the sign kinda said "fresh hot cookies here!"

out the window for the weekend.

 

@Galactic Avatar: I guess you're probably right. I just wish that they would learn to avoid building our expectations like that. I'm beginning to wonder if there aren't communication problems between the different members of the team (granted, as Mollygos pointed out, the office and its members won't actually be ready until April or so).
I could imagine it going like this (the following conversation is entirely fictional and, of course, caricatural):

 

I like to thank you all for your hard work. The game gets better and better. I am looking forward for the update/content.

I send my regards to the Chucklefish TEAM and all gamers.

 

It would be better to not be able to scan every planet with one click. They could be shilded planets, interference in the atmosphere... What about scanner upgrades? Like level 1 scanner...level 2 scanner... There is a lot of space for improvements and make the game more realistic. In my opinion, all systems (ship, player weapon, player armor, player tools) should have an upgrade/level system or a add a mod slot.

 

as soon as i read about the star chart upgrades my house became a crater :'(

 

This, please. I want to have a choice too.

 

I am so goddamn excited for ship expansion! I have a mobile base in my ship and have not settled anywhere, I've been waiting for this in order to really make a proper "home". Thank you!

 

Well, ship expansion and furniture and clothing is all nice, but what the game really needs is proper gameplay.

1. The current "progression" system is bullshit and the proposed one only sounds marginally better. Currently, it's just a whole lot of pointless power creep. Enemies all work pretty much the same, weapons all work similar, thats just boring. Additionally, it's not balanced at all. Weapon power raises extremely quickly with each upgrade, while for example pickaxes only get marginally faster.
2. The game fails to encourage creativity in the same way for example Minecraft does. Why? Because you are supposed to travel from planet to planet so building a nice base seems pointless. Even the home planet functionality doesn't help very much, why should I get to my home planet if it doesn't have all th ores and items, I need?

I have the feeling, chucklefish has too many graphics artists and not enough game designers and playtesters. If they can't afford more game designers they should at least read some books about game design or watch the great extra credits videos: https://www.youtube.com/extracredits

They didnt promise a update, they said it would "hopefully" be out that day.

The did post this a little bit back for what they have planned. I 'think' some of the stuff you talked about is addressed in there but i don't think weapon power is anyways.

 

Better analogy would be that he preordered cookies and the baker was like, "want to watch me cook these and give feedback along the way?" And then handed him a bowl of flour and upon being told that there's not much to critique when it comes to flour, the baker said "don't worry, there's lots of other ingredients to come" and then added them in month long intervals and then said things would start to speed up and went on to move all his supplies to another kitchen and then added about six chips sporadically in the span of a month. And now there is cookie confusion.

 

Or you could just not read it...

 

And look at that, they've gotten a whole second day and still nothing...

 

I like that the starting ship looks all beat up now. However, in the image for the bigger ship, why is the pilot's chair so far away from the console? I don't think any of the races have arms or tentacles long enough to reach those controls..
