Finally broke down and entered the unstable beta in Steam -- It's actually only crashed a few times on me, and I'm pretty sure it was the steam overlay doing it (didn't happen until a bit after I called up the overlay to go to the wiki each time). The massive changes are epic, and I'm really enjoying the Novakid! Going through the motions, the game feels much, much nicer with the questing 'lobby', available through the gates in each solar system (don't know if they're always present, but they have been in each solar system I've yet visited). I though it might be nice to suggest/have a sort of 'Notes' section on the Navigation Screen, so that you could tag when you are absolutely positive that a moon is completely depleted of liquid elchius (for example), or when you have a tree farm set up on a different planet. Since the game is designed to be an endless adventure, I find myself using sticky notes a lot to remember which specific planets are important to me. Thinking about it, it would be killer to have a way to put notes on a given planet, and then maybe have a seperate screen to recall/lookup specific notes (maybe searchable)? I don't know how many other people find themselves using multiple planets for various things, but when my 'home' planet eventually becomes depleated of all ores, resources, liquids, etc. I move my home to another, still rich planet -- but I leave things like tree farms and regular farms which are self-sustaining (since they'd be a pain to move each time). In that specific situation, I guess having (much) bigger ships solves half my reasoning for such a feature being added, but I think it could still be used for other purposes, say if you had built something you were particularly proud of, or maybe you and a friend/group play on a specific server and use one particular planet as a 'meeting ground' to stage group dungeon raids, or build things together on a specific planet/solar system. TL;DR: I think it would be really nice to have a notes section in the navigation screen, so you could have notes on specific planets. A way to sort/search through notes you've set would also be cool.
*Bump* Maybe ranting off an idea/suggestion around 1am wasn't the best idea; guessing this got glossed over as a result...
A bit wordy for a simple idea, but yeah... I have a notebook by my computer for the same reason. Otherwise you lose worlds. But I think this idea is in the gearworks already. The devs said something about doing that if everything else was finished on time.
That sounds... interesting. It would be nice to place a bookmark on planets, but I'd still rather have a notes field/section, and that's not implied by 'bookmark' necessarily.. I definitely appreciate knowing that though; is there a thread where they've discussed it more in-depth that you know of?
Would be pretty nice, considering the fact that I have a crazy locust tendency, I just go on a planet, completely empty it out of everything, leaving it half destroyed with massive holes everywhere, and then move on to the next one. I always keep a home planet that I leave un-touched though. I always wanted to re-visit those planets that I mined completely dry of all of it's resources, just to set up cool atmospheric half-destroyed buildings, and then return to them once in a while to see the mayhem. Something is wrong with me
Then something is wrong with me as well; that sounds very humorous -- I'd very much do that, if not for the universe resetting every so often (making such work go bye-bye).
