Disadvantages of Summon Ship?

[Devias]

Are there any disadvantages of using Summon Ship? Seems weird that they gave you this apparently limitless ability which makes Bypass Chips and that Ship Summoning Stone thing useless.

Actually seems kind of game breaking to be able to call your ship at any time. Am I missing something? Every time I use it, is it costing me resources and not telling me?

Also any way to get temperature from C to F?

It takes a full tank of plutonium on survival. It's 25% on Normal, but better be sure you have some plutonium available after you call it. Otherwise, you have to go trekking for more anyway.

Yes, the ship uses fuel to take off and fly to you. On survival that is 100% of fuel in the ship. Normal is casual and there it does not matter. But the game shines in survival, and there 100% fuel is sometimes a hefty cost. Especially if you use it 2-3 times.

It uses 25% of your launch thrusters each time you call your ship. THen another 25% when you take off again as normal.

I'm not entirely sure, I'll have to check next time I use that feature, but I think it uses fuel the same way as when you launch.

*Oh, above are the answers!

C to F is a location thing, and it is having a bug right now.
Disadvantages of doing this will use up its thruster levels to the point it empties them.

Depending on where you call it from, the ship's thrusters may consume plutonium to take off; the amount it consumes varies with the type of game you're playing (50 for normal mode).

Awesome, thanks guys. I wondered why I had to keep filling up my ship and just figured, ah I left the tank empty when I went out walking. Makes sense now!

In survival if you have the option its better to use the bypass chip.... far cheaper.

On survival, 100 % of what is in the tank, if you remembered to fill it. 200 plut, thats a lot. But remember. If you leave it empty, you can press that button as many times as you want to :D

I disagree that this game shines on survival. I think it's tedious and unnecessarily grindy. Normal is the base experience as far as I'm concerned. 100 percent fuel usage on ONE take off is just silly.

Thats good to know. I always refill on landing.... I guess I should be leaving it bone dry in case I need to call it lol. Save that plut for the manned take off.

there are still the floating islands.

remember the story of this one guy who landed his ship on top of one of them and noticed that his tank was fully depleted?

with the summon ability and remote refueling we now can call the ship onto the ground without wandering numerous amounts of time just searching for a landing pad to call it.

I like that I can call in everything ship/vehicle. It makes exploration more plesant and comfortable. And there are a lot of planets that I really want to explore now.

The advantage of using a bypass chip is that it does not eat your thruster fuel when you summon the ship, so they are not useless. Using the summon as others have already said eats fuel.

Harsh, but makes you think and make some decisions.

Had a "wonderful" experience once, spend two days (irl) thinking how the heck I got myself stranded. I was a constant loop of deaths, and scraps for refuel, when I was finally giving up I've managed to find a big chunk and left that sodding planet.
