Minotaur can't run?

[Emmerich]

I really hope I am wrong because it's disappointing slow

[1P27]

it takes some time to speed up also it has a jetpack

[Foxglovez]

He's a jumpy kind of guy. Big jumpies.

All of the exocraft are useless
With the right Exosuit Upgrades, I can RUN from point A to point B faster than any exocraft.

[BaDboD]

It's kinda more of a 'hop' than a 'jump' get the timing right, you will get obliterated. Wait did I type that right, .. yup.

An upgraded jet pack makes it one of the faster exocraft. But yes, basically to go fast, you pogo around the terrain with your jetpack.

The Nomad has geko like abilities for those worlds with sheer landscapes.

The Minotaur with Radar Array is useful for finding crashed ships and freighters. The AI seems slightly improved compared to "A Touch of Metal" making it useful in combat especially with the stun arm, though it still walks into crossfire.

Mining though - all the exocraft have lossy mining, similar to the exosuit Terrain Modifier with the focus at max spread and the Colossus unless you're shooting at a cliff, has awful range of movement. On a levelish area the mining laser will not be able to deflect enough reach the bottom-most part of a resource.

Actually, I find the Minotaur pretty good for regular mining (not from mineral deposits, but trees bushes, etc.) Three S class upgrades and you can hoover up great piles of carbon very quickly; handy if you need lots of it to condense for crafting purposes. But I give up on mining deposits as soon as I can and just buy stacks of minerals from traders; it's just too tedious otherwise.

I personally don't like how Minotaur move. When they go fast, there is no reason to jetpack that uncontrolably high and then slam so hard on the ground. I would rather see them hover/glide above the surface with shift hold key.
Hope they consider changing that in the future.

But i like how they destroy everything around when they land.

You mean EXPLOIT your way from A to B... that thing you use as movement is still an exploit, nothing else.

But yea, you want to go somewhere fast? There are way's for the exosuit to do so better than all vehicles (PLUS, your not bound by mountains being to step for a vehicle to drive on).


Also, you people do realize that this thing is ment to defend the own settlement(thus the AI core)?... it has no other use safe defense realy, especiel if you want to actualy SCAN and ENJOY the games main purpose, wich is EXPLORATION. And THAT is best done on FOOT!

[MetalSpaceDust]

As Van Halen would say Jump.

[Foxglovez]

What's not fun? When they land in and destroy a whole patch of molds. LOL Ooopsie.

What EXPLOIT? I don't know how to do any of the exploits like the "Personal Refiner" Exploit people keep mentioning.
I mean run. you use the right Exosuit Upgrades, and place them in the right supercharged slots, and arrange them correctly. and you can run quite a long time.
How TF is something tat is in the game, that you can use, an EXPLOIT? FFS

Not an exploit anymore. It used to be. But Hello Games specifically said they knew about it but chose to leave it in. On other words, they saw the exploit and decided to keep it as a feature.
