Single Player any good?

[Snowfious]

I've followed this game for a few years now, just noticed it 1.0 but stopped following the updates. Has the single player mode improved at all? Or this this game still heavy multiplayer kind of game? I ask because I don't play multiplayer. So just wondering.

Thanks!

it's playable in single player, but what will you do with a big ship, full of module, 1 maybe 2 cockpit, weapon turret, missile launcher.. hard to use all those machinery while playing solo. it's playable but not that funny... you have to play with friends or find friends on this game that are ready to share moments with you!

While someone is driving, you can do something else, like creating drones or chasing inboard invasion '' skrill eggs ''.

I'd wait with buying the game if you're only interested in single player. Currently there's no ship to ship combat in single player (except vs stations or stationary targets), there's only some space aliens and drones to fight which isn't very fulfilling.

There's also no on-board combat vs NPCs (yet?), so combatwise it's somewhat dull for a single player once you figure out the different entities, and how to build a ship to take them on.

However the devs have just a few days ago started hinting at wanting to add NPC ships so solo/PvE players can have some of the experiences PvP players have, so might be worth another look in some time, if I were to hazard a guess then come have another look in 6 months.

IMHO, the content which is available to those without interest in PvP is:

- Buy a starter ship
- Complete standard missions (e.g. go shoot X, go deliver X; sandbox not story line, minimal flavor text), mine and sell resources, shoot and salvage Skrill (space bugs)
- Design, build, and operate your own better ships
- Complete advancements/achievements
- Find derelict stations/ships to hack into and loot before self destruct triggers or traps kill you
- Buy access to next tier of systems
- Repeat in new systems for tiers 0-3
- Finally, in some tier 3 system, engage and destroy the Skrill Queen (space bug boss)
- Repeat more

Pity. I had hoped that it was a serious competitor to the X series/Empyrion.
