Fast forward time

[Marvol]

Why cant i sleep in the bed and fast forward the time for the intime jobs?

[Tomatokek]

thats actually a good idea.

Like I've been sitting here for half an hour like I get it realism but my man it's a game. Let me keep pushing. Show expected battery drain as well when going to sleep.

[Kishiko]

These battery prices are killer

Yeah, just-in-time jobs are pretty good but 90% of them you always get 30-45 min too early and the game time is real time so you have to sit and wait while doing nothing.
And jumping back and forth sectors is normally not a good idea since it takes more than 2 hours for it, so you end up with a late delivery.

Yeah I'm starting over because of this. Fast and risky sounded fun until I realized I'd be spending 20 minutes after every mission waiting for the bay to open up. I literally just drove for maybe 3 minutes, then went to take a dump, then walked to the corner store and bought something, now I'm back home and it's not time to drop off my cargo. "Fast and risky" my ass.

Totally this, having to sit there for 15+ minutes doing nothing is a bit ridiculous

So, I have played quiet a fair bit now (over 35+ hours)
And.....I am afraid to say that the game starts to wear on you quite a bit after the novelty has has worn off.

Here are my thoughts: And instead of just complaing, I will also offer a solution:

P1. THE DOCKING.....really tedious after doing it for about 20x.
S1: Maybe have skill point called AUTO-DOCKING. That once you get near you just quick press and boom....I mean, after doing it for 20x...you kinda get it...and at that point you just wanna skip it. I had the same issue in starfield. And I installed a mod to entirely skip that proces.

P2. The satisfaction of THE REWARDS between hauls are to low and take to long.
S2: Either increase the amount of cash per haul, or find out a way to fine tune the fast travel system. (the warping)
I mean, you get into a system...you have to SLOWLY grind your way to a monitor. DOCK. Look for mission. Take mission. SLOWLY grind to your Cargo. DOCK IT (Again) then go to your fast travel line. (sometimes multible times) then go to your DROP OFF. All this can take upwards of 20 minutes and after you are doing, you get a mediocre 1500 credits on average.

P3. MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP is to HIGH. Even on EASY settings.
P3: This one kinda connects to P2. A decent air filter will set you back a staggering 3000 credits. A decent battery anywhere between 1000 and 3000. Remember, most mission roll out only like 1000-1500 in cash and the missions take upwards of 15 minutes if you're fast about it. That means that I need to spend 30 minutes grinding mission just to buy enough power and filters to keep my RIG running in the first place. NOT FUN!!!

P4: SLOW....SLOW....SLllzzzzzzZllow.....SZzzzzz....
S4: Look, I get it. It's a "SIM GAME" you`re suppose to immerse in the whole driving thing.
And yes, the envoirements are gorgeous. but, after visiting the same sector for 5th time. The asthethics kinda lose their value and you just wanna get past everything to get to where you wanna go. You want to progess...and the progression IS TO SLOW!

P5: My personal most hated ASTEROIDS !!!!!!!!!!!
S5: The F****RS are everywhere. YOu cannot go 1 min off the beaten path or something is bouncing of your chassis. Look....I understand there need to be a certain "Discouragement" to go off the highway and take the shortcuts. But as stated in in P4. Everything takes sooo long...and it`s soo slow. You WANT to take those shortcuts.
But your rig manouvres so cumbersum and tedious that it just sucks all the fun out of the travellign between A and B.
Why even have a cruis control if you have to steer and brake every 15 sec to dodge an asteroid.
SOLUTION: Reduce them!!! by like...a LOT.


P6: Interactions with THE SHOPS. You have to dock everytime....ugghh...
S6: Maybe have a skill or an upgrade that allows you to buy stuff directly from the sector inside your cabin/cockpit. I want to skip the docking procedure entirely and just BUY items from my cabin. Get them delivered to my RIG. I mean, its the year 3023...where are all the friggin drones/delivery droids? You telling me I have to go and collect everything manually??? Booorring.

P7: QUALITY OF LIFE THINGS!
S7: I agree that in the beginning you should feel like a total clueless tool. Struggling with the docks, the hauls, the transporting. Etc. Thats all fine.
but at some point into like the 8-10 hours playtime marker. You should be able to become an "experienced"truck driver and bypass a lot of the tedious repetition as stated above.
Skill that allow me to go faster. Auto Docking. Battery chargers. REPAIR skill to fix my Chips and exteriors without leaving the RIG. Just to name a few. I`m spitballing here.....


Anyways......that's all I got for you now. Sorry for the rants!
Understand they came from a place of passion because I do LIKE this game a lot, I just wish it could be better! ;-)

Hi there!

We agree that would be a great way to use the sleeping feature, and it’s definitely on our radar!

Thank you all for your suggestions and patience.
