I did the same as you. downloaded it and started mainly because the progression in the preview will carry over and there's no point in playing a dead version and it was pretty unstable for me anyway. Got to jump in twice now and the first time it was running silky smooth, probably the best servers i've ever seen but not a single contract could be had. Second time I played in the morning and there was a bit more lag but limited contracts were back up with hauling and salvage being the primary ones available. played for a good 3 hours which is pretty rare time length for all of the last year as the game has been that unstable for me. Anyway things are looking very promising imo for 4.x going forward. Just remember though progress will still be wiped from time to time. You must of missed the note where they said the tutorial is broken since the last patch. looks like they do give you a set of armor if you select the tutorial. I might have to give it a go for that. I'm amazed you got as far through the tutorial as you did. That's odd with your hangar doors doing that as it hasn't happened to me at all so far. I started on Orison as it's the nicest aesthetically for me and I always liked cousin crows for ship parts but it's now been gutted of the best gear unfortunately. I initially started looking into cargo speculation but the markets have been changed dramatically and it'll need a lot more research from me and it looks like cargo hauling is paying way better so I made a couple of hundred k doing that. I've been using a Hull A and it is perfect for early cargo hauling contracts - it's so easy to load/unload. Also buying my first maxlift tractor beam was a steep purchase early game but worth it Lol, you and the buccaneer. I already explained that one to you in a previous video - it's because you have a corsair you get a loaner buccaneer to use in arena commander. Wow you had contracts first go unlike here in Australia we had none for the first day or so. yeah that first bounty mission to unlock all the chains you have to pay sadly but that's the price of getting your loicence. Not really surprised you got taken out in the glass cannon Bucc as you're used to the much tankier corsair and with a bit more responsive AI they cleaned up. I don't think its an AI upgrade but just better servers because your now operating on 4 severs and meshing in Stanton instead of one looks like two hangar gateways spawned on top of each other - not good. I've been getting hangar cues at Orison and I think it's due to the game traffic. Instead of 100 players I think we're up to 500 per shard now. didn't your mission say he was in a cave? why am I asking you cuz you don't read them lol. lol at the cave to the center of the moon - been there before I see and not falling for that old chestnut. I have a feeling Microtech NB/Tressler are going to be super populated with a 500 player population since it was probably the most popular home planet people pick
As always thank you for your comment and feedback! I'm looking forward to some quick patches for 4.0 lol. I did miss the note regarding the broken tutorial. The reason I tried it was other comments saying I should learn the game first, which is not what my channel is about, but if there is a working tutorial I should complete it as a minimum. The hangar doors have been an issue for me multiple times now, not sure if it is something I'm doing... AH! I must have missed what you said about the buccaneer! Thank you! The Bucc is such a glass cannon! I didn't even get any notices I was going to go down... oh well live and learn :P Micortech is very popular, maybe I will try some missions in another part of the solar system :)
@@m1ddleagemadness i've had that hangar door thing a couple of times. I think it's a bug that came in due to instanced hangars in 3.23 but you seem to get it a lot

Happy to do so!
@m1ddleagemadness , Pyro's music is amazing. You wouldn't want to miss it.
