WHAT THIS GAME NEEDS RIGHT NOW
I now have over 40 hours in this game and have unlocked everything on the map with exception to one hidden location far to the east on the map. I am maxed out on skills, I am at rank 40 and I have a $45K bankroll and my truck other than cosmetics is fully maxed as well. So I know the game pretty well up to this point.

Maneuvering:
Give us the ability to move on X,Y axis up/down, left/right yaw. All we have is pitch and roll and it doesn't feel like flying. The ship is full of thrusters on all sides, why not give us the freedom of movement? But no you'd rather have us bang into everything constantly. At least consider this as something we can upgrade on the truck. Please?

Jump Gates:
Can we unlock a function at some point that "auto jumps" so we don't have to look up to pull a switch and miss the show?

Horn:
Bind it to our controller or kb. Also, when using the horn to discover objects; one HONK should be enough. It's not fun constantly taking our eyes of the "road" while trying to avoid hazards and having to reach around the cab for this or that. It's silly.

Controls Mapping:
Why are there no mappings available? Are there controls and functions that I am missing? Who knows because this game doesn't tell you what any of the controls are. Why? That's such a basic function.

Driving:
Why does it feel more like we are driving underwater? The physics seem off. And why does it feel like it's more difficult going up than in any other direction? Last I checked, there is no up in space and all directions are equal. Why aren't there any modifications available that make the trucks more easy to handle?

Upgrades:
I have my truck body fully upgraded. Yet I have one good smack with an object and I'm totally obliterated. Why? I should be almost invincible at this level. Constantly repairing the truck still is also becoming cumbersome. Please fix the damage rate/model. Especially for fully upgraded rigs.

Visuals HUD:
Why can't I know and see where key locations are before having to drive up to them within a quarter mile? Stores, contraband shops and Jobs locations in particular. JUST SHOW US WHERE THEY ARE INSTANTLY. Especially after honking. Everything should be shown after one honk. Is there a reason for concealing these locations? And why do many location icons pop up, but when you go there it's nothing? Just a marker? Also, it would be nice to see some options in the menu to configure the hud. Such as changing what is displayed, opacity and the size. Because as is things take up a bit too much of the view. In my personal opinion.

Maneuvering:
-It doesn't have forward side thrusters

Jump Gates:
-..... Just listen for 3 beeps instea of looking up ?

Horn:
-Skill issue

Controls Mapping:
-Fair, strange to have hard coded inputs

Driving:
-Mod do make the truck easy to handle, another thing is you are in space, a frictionless place

Upgrades:
-Mods only make it so it's harder to cause a hull breach, they don't make you invincible damage is proportional on how fast you are going

Visuals HUD:
-You answered this yourself, they take up visual space

Map;
-THERE IS LITERALLY A MAP LEGEND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MAP ARE YOU BLIND

Jump gates:
Still have to look up to pull the switch
Horn:
Skill issue? Okay if you say so. Again if there was a button to press for the horn instead of having to look UP then I wouldn't have an issue with it. psssh
Driving:
I understand thoroughly the physics of flying in space. I don't need nor appreciate your comment.
Upgrades:
Why gives us all of this speed if you're going to penalize us for using it? Stupid and unfun game play.
HUD:
Your comment makes ZERO sense
Map Legend:
I guess so, I don't see it anywhere?

(Could you be more of a jerk there buddy? Why are you attacking/insulating me?)

sorry man but that's where the horn goes on a big truck. i would be mad and disappointed if it was literally anywhere else.
Sininside Sep 7, 2024 @ 9:52am 
I found the map legend, thanks. It was hidden and I didn't realize I had to press a button to reveal it. My goodness...

You can honk and drive in a big truck too, unlike in this game.

Another successful enigma sector jump! Only 3 more to go.

i would be amenable to a key on your keyboard also honking the horn for the neck brace gamers out there that can't look up, but don't move the physical lever in the game

Maneuvering/Driving: It drive like a land truck so you can apply the same technique of that 2D (left and right) into 3D movement (pitch, yaw & roll). It is like an airplane. This i can say it take some skills. lol but I am ok with it, no issue.

Jump Gates: I have no issue with looking up and pull that massive power for a jump. I like it xD (and maybe from my sim train experience that a lot of time is looking away to controls)

Horn: No, it is the cruise control switch that need attention since activation, speed check and speed change can totally take the eyes off the road longer than horn.

Controls Mapping: Dev is working on it, tbh it should be in the game right now but this is not my first time see EA come without it at first.

Its good to see the bug with Enigma systems being locked isn't affecting everyone. I hope they can patch it without requiring me to restart my character.

First time I'm hearing this, what is the bug ? The mission not appearing ?

X hours of gameplay =/= knowledge.

i like distractions while im driving, cb wanting my attention, horn needing to honk, rear view mirror wanting me to admire it. Good think i dont have a cell phone. So when i run into that asteroid that appeared out of nowhere i just cant think of any excuse at this time officer.:steamfacepalm: Its just a know fact that radios, cell phones and nagging passengers causes accidents.

I mean the game needs some balancing and fixes for sure... but there isn't a single thing you said I agree with. Side thrusters would be such a bad idea... its a mash up of space travel and truck driving. I like the way the trucks handle as is. I haven't crashed into anything in over 20 hours myself. Also I don't want hot keys and the horn MUST go above your head. Thats trucking. I love that the cockpit has all the buttons to fiddle with. I don't want hotkeys for anything would remove the charm.

I don't have this title on Steam, I have it on gamepass. Nice fail at an insult. You got anything else?
