    There appears to be some confusion in the comments so I'll clear it up : The demo link on the steam page installs the full version of the game. The developer did this because of the war going on. You can play the entire game from the demo link, and he left the buy link up for people that want to support the team if they enjoyed it in retrospect. Hopefully this helps clear up some of the comments I've been seeing. It is absolutely 100% free if you use the demo link, which is the full version of the game. It's not clickbait. Every word of the title is true, in my opinion. Great dev, great game, great vibes I could not support it more in the indie scene. Sorry for any confusion!

    "some" content. I have played for over 150 hours and am still not done with all story content this game offers. Also the keepler gap can be crossed afaik. the next one cannot be crossed.
    -you can skip the cinematic at the launch by the way.
    -also there is no need to dive really deep. after a few kilometers density does not keep rising. your ship (the eagle prospector is quite decent at turning. it is just a bit worse at stopping while flying
    forward.
    -delta V is not how well you can control your ship. it is how much you can change your speed by using your thrusters.
    -the companion is just a tiny ship that will help you mine. it is best to mine out for them and let them pick stuff up. I think their AI is actually pretty intelligent just slightly limited in terms of what it
    is allowe to learn.
    -the space station AI was actually sentient at all times as far as I know. it is also limited in terms of growth and learning.
    -the microwave shutting the reactor down is not what causes the ship to explode. when the reactor is hit it disengages the fuel rods afaik which just causes teh ships thrusters to not behave
    properly anymore as in it lowers their power. the reactor in this case exploded because your front left RCS thruster hit it, fired and overheated it. enemy ships can also be salvaged using the
    manipulator arm if you disable them by draining their remass with a massdriver. if you drag a pirate back to base you will get their ship.
    -one mass driver round will not kill you no matter how well placed it is. it will start draining your remass supply if you take a hit in the wrong space and lower your reactors minimum safe operating
    temperature.
    -you can very much turn your mining vessel into a fighter with the right equipment and skill and turn your opponent into salvage. combat in this game is predictable
    -you seem to have confused the ship at 23:23 for a pirate. you can recognise pirates by the fact that they do not have a transponder code on LiDAR and are called U.I.O. in conversation.
    -the encounter at 25:18 was a pirate that used the lifepod to get you to go there. nothing story related I am pretty sure
    -you cannot destroy the Heavily Armoured Lifepod 9000 (the pod all ships in this game use as an escape pod)
    -it is also not just the soundtrack for hearing impaired people or people that listen to something else it also colours the edges of the screen unless that is disabled in the settings.
    -the thing at 29:00 is the reason you always have one eye on the LiDAR. if you see a clump of high albedo contacts and have not mined in that area that is likely a pirate.
    -also the only way you can kill with a laser is if you get a shot on the reactor. if you get a shot on the reactor it will fuck up the ship and make them explode. you did not die die. you were still alive
    your ship just lost all remass. if you actually die the game will make you reload a save.
    -you may have hit the pirate with your laser on accident causing him to get angry again. there is a very complex system behind this so I could not tell you if that was the case.
    -by the way you seem to be missing a crew member. did you not get a mechanic/geologist/astrogator? all of these will be useful.
    -there rarely is a better thing for example in terms of thrusters. all have tradeoffs.
    -microwaves are good for mining, because they allow you to mine very carefully and not send stuff flying. you can also get a automated microwave turret that shoots stuff for you.
    also the dev is truly a chad. he literally seeds torrents for his own game, because people will always find a way to get your game for free.

    Um, Splattercat? You do know that LIDAR is just RADAR using lasers instead of radio waves. It's still bouncing photons (since both are forms of light), but just from a different part of the spectrum. LIDAR isn't GPS or some other location based navigation system. All it's going to do is tell you what's out there and where it's heading in respect to your ship. It's more akin to the radar systems used by commercial aircraft to keep them from flying into buildings, mountains, other aircraft, etc.

    To help: Delta V is specifically "Change of Velocity" as the Greek symbol "Delta (Δ)" stands for "Change in something" and 'V' stands for "Velocity"
    The lower your ΔV the less fuel or propellant you have to be able to change your velocity.

    I purchased the game back when you first reviewed this game. Its a good game and even has some higher quality textures and resultions you can download.. Your experience of there not being much combat is different from mine. I haven't played in a few months but when I left off i had run into an alien ship in one of the cooler moments. You can even sometimes run into abandoned ships and can take the whole thing back to the station. Many times i got ravaged by pirates or backstabbers. As you go deeper into the rings you run into fights and "events" all the time. The laser is not very effective. It is stronger the closer you are and if i recall there are multiple laser types but yeah I pretty much had to run away whenever running lasers. I think you actually made out well by running out of fuel before that guy destroyed you at the end. Full destruction is game over. You load your save from when you left the station so you lose all progress from the run you are on.

  • @macdeus2601
    @macdeus2601 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    "Delta V" is just a mathematical abbreviation for "change in velocity".
    Normally it's expressed as "[distance] per [time] per [time]" (as in, how much your speed has changed within a given unit of time), such as "meters per second per second", though that is sometimes abbreviated "m/s^2".
    It's an important number in space travel because in a near-zero-friction environment, acceleration, deceleration, and changing direction are the only things you need to burn fuel for (so you want to minimize how much of these things you have to do, because getting fuel into space in the first place is ridiculously expensive).
    Also because in an orbital context, velocity is functionally the same thing as altitude.
    "p = mv" is momentum, or in other words the amount of energy you need to apply to change an object's speed and/or direction. This is determined by how much mass is moving at what speed. (Or "mv", meaning "mass x velocity".)

    So, figuring out this title is awesome... You can very much clear the gap... As far as I can tell, you could cruise at max burn for hours probably, with If you're doing that, definitely bring beacons. OFC, you're gonna need the remass and ability to recover it, and a navigator to get you back in near any beacon you drop. Needless to say Astroids is my all time favorite game because of it's significance and design aspects(I do not say that lightly btw, and am a dev myself who can't wait to get some time here at the nerdcastle, but I digress) and this is it's worthy spiritual successor. Hang in there, this game has depth... The dev is an absolute champion and I encourage anyone that shares the love to dig up his streams, and the soundtrack as well on TH-cam music app, as Evader was a perfect choice.
    For example, I have been playing since you could buy the game, and while I can't play a lot as I'm a trucker, but I've shot the gap, and some change, recently gotten the end game ship, only just got my first legit kill and lived to tell the tale in my last play session. Mind you, I have had tonmake room for some of the 700 games on my to do list... I'd guess some intrepid gamers out there could catch up to me in a few days, maybe a week, but again, I digress.
    Piracy and offence in the rings gonna keep you busy, ringa,name figuring out how to both outfit and run a crew and ship is pretty challenging, subtle, and rewarding. I could go on, but lastly I'll just say, I didn't even know you could get the game free at this point. I gifted it to my best friend, which would have been the only likely way for me to find out that little nugget, so thanks for the info. I am a big supporter of the free to play forever and free to donate model, and am committed to a release model that can support that beyond an early access kind of deal, so it's great to see one of my favorite devs pull it off with an unconventional hat trick, I'll have to keep that one in mind when the time comes to share what I've been working on.

If you didn't know the meaning of albedo, you could interpret this as 'high-velocity objects', but considering that the Haul drones will intercept ore that's at a standstill, this doesn't make any sense. It makes more sense using the actual meaning of albedo, so the phrase would then be taken to mean 'shiny rocks', AKA ore chunks.

    Love this game, been using the same ship as you but almost everything about it is different, even the UI because I have an aftermarket OS installed in the ship. The one thing I wish this game had was saving mid-dive which unfortunately the devs don't think is feasible because of how the game was made, they said they'd have to remake it from the ground up for it. The reason it bugs me though is that I bought the smelter for my cargo hold that disintegrates the water in the rock thats added as fuel for the rcs thrusters and the minerals that remain get added to a special container leaving the cargo bay empty. Problem is I never stay out long enough to fill up all the different resource containers and then my cargo bay so it feels like a wasted investment. I guess keeping an empty cargo bay allows you to maneuver better since your cargo won't be bumping around and shifting your weight but its still not really worth it.

    • @sticks7857
      @sticks7857 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You know on second thought and after having watched you play for awhile maybe I underestimated the benefits of it. I noticed your ship was very sluggish compared to mine and you barely used your drones at all because of your limited supply. Well thanks to the smelter I was able to equip the smallest RCS tank to cut down on weight and the resources the smelter collects are used to produce more drones so I can have them running all the time halting even the rocks I don't intend to collect. That's the thing that keeps me coming back to this game, the gameplay loop might be very simple but all the mechanics surrounding it are so complex that there's a lot you can overlook if you aren't paying attention and it always leaves something new to learn.

    The microwave beam will also cause electrical faults in ship systems. The reason your screen went funny when the enemy bumped you is because their ship was electrically charged from your attacks and shorted your visual feed through contact. This can also happen if you bump charged asteroids or materials, or if an enemy microwave beams you.

    • @skychaserthedragon2046
      @skychaserthedragon2046 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly, the microwave beams are very powerful in combat due to their ability to disable the enemy. Mass drivers just misalign and occasionally break things, lasers do no ship damage, and the particle cannons are ridiculously OP, but need to be charged before it's useful. Like, a lot.
      That being said, I love the particle accelerator cannon. Being able to obliterate rocks as soon as you see them is hilarious and they don't even go flying like they do with mass drivers

    Combat is pretty rare- Splattercat....... yeah, not sure what game your playing but combat happens nearly every single time i dive in.... hell i have even been attacked by a pirate and 30 seconds later another ship shows up and fires on me... THEN starts screaming that i shouldnt interfere in his bounty hunting... yesterday i spent some time on the game... made 22 dives and saw combat on 15 of them.... combat is real.. and OFTEN

    You can cross the Kepler Gap, but the way I did it was I just got some coords to go somewhere that was really really deep in and didn't have to manually go there myself. Sure you could try yourself manually but you'd need the thing that turns water into fuel.

  • @Nusszucker
    @Nusszucker ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember my first combat, got scouted by this other ship, minded my business, expecting to be hackled, when they instead tried to kill me with their mass driver. I got lucky and drifted out of their shots way, whipped around, fired three or four shots, hit something important, got hit myself, we drifted apart, exchanged another two or three shots and the pirate popped shortly after drifting of screen
    I didn't know that they would drop their own life pod, however, I managed to collect three corpses and a life pod from another ship (or two) that must have gotten blown up by the pirate, so some justice had been serve there

    One thing to note if you continue to play. With the hauling drones go to your geologist tab when you pull up the journal. Then you can designate what ore is grabbed and the price minimum needs to be. This saves how much drones you use. I run the big hauler with 2 haul drones, 2 micro emiters, and 2 containers and can just afk forwards. With the cargo upgrade that recreates remade and drones been afk for 3 hours on my longest time. 3,000,000 made

    • @legosfreak2213

    Delta V is the total amount of well speed you can build up. It’s a function of your mass and the amount of fuel. More mass less dV, less mass more dV (and fuel is mass!)

    Can you damage your ship by bringing in cargo too fast, or jostling the cargo around while maneuvering? Like if it is all gathered at the front of the bay, and you accelerate, causing it to slam into the back of the bay, does that punch a hole through the rear bulkhead?

    Combat is rare? That's mostly what I do in delta V, my opinion 1st ship with the grabber arm is the best fill the hold then salvage a ship. Like a scavenger I also steal the ships from designated recovery vessels. Going back with a ship is easy half Mil

    • @mr.metorix6318

      Trick to combat is to treat your Rig as a tank. Face towards the enemy and try to pop then in the reactor and then when they are venting fuel Try to stabilize their spin so they don't over G their reactor and go critical. Also fun to grab other miners who are claim jumping and trow them with the arm into an asteroid.

    thats like the most terrible explanation of delta v I've heard lmao. it's simply how much difference (delta) in velocity (v) you can cause, so accelerating, breaking and maneuvring will cost you delta v.

    • @murasaki848
      @murasaki848 ปีที่แล้ว

      He also messed up the explanation of lidar and misused the term "albedo". As much as I like Splattercat's videos, he's no threat to Scott Manley's turf. Edit: though, if I understand the game mechanics correctly from Splattercat's explanation, the ship drive is essentially massless science fantasy stuff, so dV apparently doesn't quite mean the same thing as in the real world or KSP.

    Fun little fact, the beeping you hear when near a life pod in the game is actually S.O.S. in Morse code. 3 short beeps ... = S, 3 long - - - = O. It just keeps repeating over and over when your near a pod.
