Great Game ; Heres My thoughts After My First Session.

[DustOfTheNorthStar]

This feels like the start of a good VR title, just played my first session. The overall concept is easy to grasp, but I think the ships internal layout may need to be tweaked a bit though, maybe have the radar map in the front, but layed out flat like a table in the large open area around the front of the ship. It just feels like in my way all the time and it makes it hard to see what repairs I may need, It feels like the Map is blocking my playspace center. (if im making any sense)

Other than that, every time I stopped at a planet pirates warped in before I could finish reading the radio messages. This may be intentional, but I feel like a planet should mean some trading or something. I just had to warp the ♥♥♥♥ out.

Please keep adding features and polishing this game, more encounters, add some factions and some lore to the game, broken or deralict ships, (maybe i havent found this stuff yet im just throwing out ideas) you may have created something that could be a popular vr title.

Glad you are enjoying it!

I had another player suggest moving the map, so I did give it some thought. The problem is, the map is rather large & you need some resolution at picking destinations and showing icons. If it was laid out flat, it would be at a hard angle to view & point at. If I tipped it up, it would start blocking the view out the "windshield". The center, standing facing forward seems to work the best in practice.

If you can see pirates on your radar (red ships), then they can see you -- unless you are cloaked or among space rocks. You can trade with planets (stations & ships too), but a pirate warping in will interrupt the process if one is on your tail. You can sometimes make a deal with the pirate by giving him a part, which will make him neutral & leave -- so you can continue communicating with the planet (or station).

If something needs to be fixed or improved, I'm on it. However, it is generally considered "feature complete", since it is a value title @ $3.99. It does reference planet Xax, which is the primary planet in much of my previous RPG titles. :-)
