loading unloading cargo bug and few ease of play suggestions/critic

[Bexc]

sometimes the loading cargo will last forever with noise clunk clunk clunk and you are just waiting for ever .. other times it clips with other cargo and can be enough to nock the cargo ship off the pad causing damage .. its annoying because i have no control over this and its not like you can reload your save which would make most of these basic annoyences obsolite .. after all this is why saving your own saves was invented for debuging and bug avoidance for those that dont care if they can just reload and correct it themselves

the hud is very confusing either lock the camera or make it so i can change the hud markers to follow the camera instead // the most annoying part of the hud is the info is small and could be anywhere on the screen .. a small reticule in the center of the screen with thrust bar and energy with a alt to sea .. alt to floor and then how fast im moving in alt -/+ yes this is on screen but jeez it becomes a migrane after just an hour of play because of the eye flicking you need to do on say a 42" screen just to keep track of 6 different items of info as you come into land and each item is in extremes of the screen rather than just in a neat little package like you would get on a normal game or realistic system... and dont even get me started when any kind of other light object like the wind markers are floating past the hud of wires


also is their a way of charging your ship by X amount rather than max charge every time because it makes that extra battery pointless atm

i like the idea of this game it can be really fun but boy does it have some bad derpy interfaces that just flood you with pointless info wile making useful info everywhere but where im looking at any time and it has the habit of moving too .. and also that camera needs fixing .. id love for a fixed camera or maybe a cockpit camera with a instrument screen i can just look at in a glance like on real aircraft .. because that rolling compass is just bad remove it for a line compase at the top or atleast give me an option to change

your camera points are interesting, for some reason mine is only locked - I cant free look at all

im using an XBOX360 joy pad to play as its impossible with the keyboard

the right stick rotates the camera clicking it resets but its limited as for eg when im coming in to land it likes to be above the craft looking down which makes it rather hard to determin how high i am above the ground .. also no amount of pull on the stick will let me look side on etc and see how high the craft is...

it also becomes an issue when you yaw the craft often causes over correction due to the camera kinda moving with the craft then not .. its like a wrestling match and im exausted mid way through just wrestling the camera into the right way .. to get the correct angle .. FYI devs 30 meters away and above a craft is def not the best angle for landing once im lined up .. just let me do it plz

For cargo issues I try to angle away from existing cargo or don't back up as far. I have never had a problem loading cargo. Every now and then I will unload on existing crates and will bang into my open cargo door, but stops if I move forward. It has been mentioned that you can lower your cargo door and use it like a shovel to clear some space if needed. You will take damage but usually minor.

I never change my view so I can't even begin to imagine tha pain. It seems like there should be a way to unmap that from the controller. Really no need to look around much.

Hey Pope, if you have a keyboard your number pad will let you look around, 5 key will recenter your view.

I know they just changed the fuel from multiple clicks to one click because people complained they hated click click clicking to fill up. Now people are complaining because they put big extended batteries on their ship then can't fill them and carry large cargo. I myself have sat on a landing pad at full throttle to burn off enough fuel to get off the ground and then had to get a repair drone to fuel up after dropping off my load. in the middle of nowhere.

hey you should see what happens when you keep pressing the X button to refil your batteries

just watch that weight go up .. even after its fully charged ... this killed a play through and i had to restart because i was messing around trying to see if i could stop the filling and i tried pressing x a few times even held it and to my entertainment my ship weighed 100k XD

iv since asked for a refund .. at this point in the game the bugs just kill u when you are starting out .. and SAVE that function which word is to save you from bugs etc well if i could save when landed in my own SAFE point this game might be less of a rage quiting nightmare of reloading with -1200 cash and 1 hour of game time gone to waste because some bug was saved in action

another bug happened which got me to quit by smashing my keyboard up with a gold hammer

i went to pick up something i grabed the item it was just about to load onto the craft then it seemed to fall off the arm .. and i was stuck looking at the screen for about 5 min wile it said it was loading up i thought oh ok just quit and reload .. it had saved the fact that i had spent my credits on the product but the product was not in the hold and for some reason it also saved that i was damaged my engine and wings they were smoking .. and i couldnt even refuel or repair and was grounded .. it acted like i still had a full tank and the product was in the cargo hold even tho it wasnt .. 2.7/2/10k but nothing was showing in cargo .. yeah the checkpoint BS is annoying .. and this early in game dev a player save function .. you know that thing we had since the nintendo

anyways iv refunded .. i was expecting this game to be relaxing and fun but turned out to be hell and torture due to bad dev judgement

You should remember the game is in early access and is prone to bugs and glitches. Keep reporting them to help out.

Also, if you're like me, then you should save and backup often. The saves are in the appdata folder on Windows. I'll post the thread where I asked the same question.

Read the notes, great way to keep your game (and sanity) in check!

Yeah i think i may buy the game again once it is more polished xx

good luck Razar

i mainly got the game because i thought it might be casual and healthy after watching a youtuber play it for a short episode but turned out to be stressful and upsetting .. the very opposite to what i hoped and what a game should be about .. im sure this will become a great game

hugs x

give me a week or so as i might just buy it anyways with no intention to play it till its complete x

just need some time to get the rage out of me lol XD as my refund was abit harsh reading it back .. it is an EAG after all and you seem like great devs who have taken the time to respond to my comments .. aswell x

id like to blame my BPD but honestly i think its just me being a pure B£$@h this time XD

[Bexc]

baldpope thank you for that bit of info about the save file locations .. never thought about pulling the save files like that x
