Feeling a bit lost

[Swayze]

First of all, I really like the game. It scratches my itch just right and I'm having lots of fun with the gameplay loop so far. However, sometimes I feel a little lost with the missions and where I have to go. Sometimes its really not clear wether I have to search for clues myself or just go somewhere. Mission always say they are "in Progress". I can't tell sometimes if I have to go back to the mission giver now or have to do something else, most of the times I just go back to the station on a regular basis and see that I could've talked to a NPC all the time. It would be nice to clarify that aspect. Thanks for reading

If you find yourself in a spot with no obvious way to progress the main storyline, please submit your save in game (f8) so I know where it's happening (also helpful to leave a comment here so I can respond).

Hi. I have a similar problem. I'm stuck. How can I send you my save file?

Press 'F8' in game.

Also, since feedback is anonymous and I may not check daily, leave a comment here or in a new thread so I know to look for it.

Thanks! Done.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing it, maybe try again?

[Br0sk1]

Done

Hopefully I'm looking at the right save, someone else submitted a save late yesterday:


The main storyline is waiting on getting some unstable cores to the chariot. Your crew will eventually provide some guidance, but you need to either push them with your ship or use the gravity gun to throw them to the ship.

The Flotsam and Jetsam side quest requires additional exploration of the region around -4 x 2. You've already been there, but there's a star or two nearby with unexplored planets

The other person's save:


Has an uninvestigated star system near 43 x 21

Since quite a few folks are getting stuck not knowing what to do, perhaps these types of clues should be shown in game, to help lead us to the area where we're missing stuff.

Generally, I have tried to do that. It's a tricky balance because the game is supposed to be one of exploration and discovery: some players like to have a chance to figure out what to do or where to go next. But also, I need these reports to know where players have gotten stuck.
