The game is great but...

It just does not feel like this:

for some reason the image stopped working, so im adding it again:

Which is what got me into the game.
Still i love the game. Another thing i have is that early on alot of focus was on guns, being random and with different kinds etc right now even getting a gun is super rare.

(Btw i love this post editor where you dont have to press preweiv to see stuff! Wohoo! Also when i as a lua coder found out that modding will be able to be done in lua i was happy )

 

In time, in time.

 

That picture is so old, I wouldn't base anything off renders before the game was even released. That pic reminds me of Aliens corporal marines or something lol, nothing like starbound we have now. You never know though that ship may even make it into the game for multiplayer transport.

There will be more gun variety eventually, right now balance is whacked out and guns are pretty rare until x sector when they rain from the heavens.

 

As far as i know this image is not an ingame screenshot and is not planned to be implemented at all. It was said this is simply pre-rendered.

 

The only thing in that pic that is even in game is that horizontal stripe at the top. 1x1 block that surrounds most USCM places along the top and bottom.

Like the people have said, I wouldn't base things on old photos that were pre-rendered. That photo looks like a setup of RP, with them just having fun with what they had in the past test, but not so at the same time. I have seen the photo before, but never myself took it as it being in game....

 

That picture is just an concept art, nothing more.
Also guns are common later in the game, you can find one in basically every single chest in the last sector x.X
Besides the game is clearly not finished yet, either be patient or stop playing before you burn yourself out, that's my advice for you!
Have fun =)

 

Well people have said all I had to say, Besides there's a mod to get that ship in the game, if you want it.

 

I would love that, and the supposed home base station where you could research tech. Then again things change in development. Also since it's early beta like the dude above me said could be added later.

 

Oh didnt expest this much response. Well its still a great game! And i have really forced myself to stop playing the latest days to not get mad when the wipe happens.

 

Smart! Although, it's unfortunate that the announcement of the character wipe caused a lot of people to stop playing temporarily.

I'm still playing, because I need to find enough Avian Temples to properly outfit my ship and my base...

 

At release, they really do need to make tech research-based or crafting-based, instead of having to get lucky and find the one you want in an obscure chest somewhere. Especially when they add even more techs.

Also, what I mostly want from that pic above is that mechanic with her comically oversized wrench and other similar npcs that you can recruit (as in, premade npcs like Terraria in addition to the NPC spawners)

 

yup agree totally

 

I see this picture a lot, and I think it's funny that the most hype-inducing image of the game pre-beta was a mockup of stuff that never made it in.

 

i waited relentlessly on this game to come out for like 2 years and then i played it like a week and got burnt out. I'm just gonna chill till full game or B3 phase so there is some content to play. hopefully good amount of mods by that time too.
