Maybe there's someone out there willing to rubber-band their stick forwards and leave it running just to test. It'd probably still take an ungodly amount of time though.

 

I'm sure someone here did that just manually pushing the stick forward and it took them 45 minutes to reach the centre.

I did that on my first day playing -- I wrote about it here. From my starting system around 178,000 LY from the center, I pushed forward on the stick and zoomed as fast as possible for about 45 minutes to reach the glowing light at the center of the galaxy.

 

My observation was that it doesn't look like a realistic model of a galaxy -- e.g. in Elite Dangerous the stars get much closer together near the galactic core, but here the field looks exactly the same until you reach that light (which is just a graphic of a light, it doesn't seem to spoil anything that might happen when you reach it in-game).

Think I'm going to sell this now too. Get the money back before it depreciates too much, then go back to Destiny until the next big disappointment (psvr) comes out. 

 

If all the rumoured updates happen and they patch something fun and worthwhile into nms then I'll pick it back up at that point.

Where is the last bastard creature on this planet? No oceans. Scanned the birds. Been all over. Where the fuck is it!?

 

It could be really, really tiny. I found a creature that was almost like floating dust motes in the air. It was only scanning the area and seeing all the red dots that made me cotton on.

Little tip for enjoying the soundtrack more - up the music volume to 100, and drop the SFX to 30. Much better.

 

Turn the music down to zero, load up spotify and search for Meatloaf

I've just been drifting towards the centre just warping to blue and green planets for a higher chance of better planets.

Found this beast on a tropical one. One where it all looks feasible rather than a grab bag of animal parts.

I think I might enjoy this game less if I was racing to the Centre. I've not even considered trying yet.

 

It's perfect (hungover) Sunday afternoon gaming this. At the moment I'm just pootling about on a snowy planet in a random system, not really doing anything apart from scanning the 'Copious' wildlife and exploring. As with your example above @Captain LeChuck (edit: Sorry, I meant @macosx) the animals here look like they might actually exist, with fish that look like fish, and grazing animals that look like they belong. When everything clicks into place like that, the worlds can be very convincing.

I seriously wouldn't bother. 'Racing' is only an applicable term insofar as it can also be applied to snail races.

 

I don't think I'm going to bother myself, on reflection - not to completion anyway. I'll probably just log on once or twice a week and make a jump and do a little exploration. But the rate at which I see anything that's not 90-odd percent or more identical to what I've already seen is plummeting, so wandering with no aim at all got a little stale some time ago for me. At least the line to the centre bestows a slim thread of purpose to the occasional search for a better paperback cover.

I think a better analogy than spiral for the Euclid Galaxy, would be a ball of twine.  Follow the thread and you'll eventually get to the centre. But you can jump to adjacent parts of the thread, or leap through black holes that take you to a completely different part of the ball that will be closer in overall distance to to the centre. 

 

So what you're saying is the galaxy is like a length of string; one end represents the outer rim, the other represents the centre. If one were to tie the ends of the string together, the galaxy becomes a loop. Next, by balling the loop together, the stars in the galaxy would touch one another out of sequence. Therefore, jumping from one part of the string to another would allow someone to travel back and forth within their own galaxy thus making a "quantum leap" between each star system.

Ahaaaaaaaa! You Son-of-a-Gek!

Not depicted: the obvious disappointment when the locked rooms have nothing interesting in them at all! Let's call it a Molyneux Pass.

 

Edit edit: I called the planet "Got my AtlasPass v3 here, otherwise awful". It was rejected by the profanity filter. I tested the word "awful"... and the planet is happily called "Awful". I'm wondering what else was profane. Ass obviously.

I've just cashed mine in at Game. Almost as a good return as vortex cubes.

"Your're not the first" the sales guy chimed up with. "wide as an ocean as deep as a puddle" chipped in his mate.

 

I'll be back when there's new stuff and less crashes. The investment of time to finding something I liked was annoying me. Especially as I'd maxed out my build and a slog to the centre would be pointless.

Easiest way to get them to appear is just start mining a planet full of either venom sacs, vortex cubes or pearls. They go fucking crazy. Hate the AT-STs to be honest. When they hit you with their weapons, it causes you to spin around in a ridiculously OTT way.

Best mod for PC players yet...

 

http://nomansskymods.com/mods/modnmse-nohud-toggle-hud-onoff-with-f5-full-hud-toggle/

 

HUD key toggle :wub:

 

Looks like the mod scene are tearing it to pieces, this is good!   I'm semi hoping someone makes a hardcore / rougelike mod which vastly reduces outposts / materials... The more I play (and after nodding in agreement for 17 minutes with Matt Lees' review) the more it seems like it was going to be a pretty hardcore survival game but it got casual'ed over time.

Oh man, I don't know why the galaxy prizes Sac Venom so much, but I'm happy to meet demand. Found my first planet full of the stuff, and now I'm rolling in units. The thing is, there's so many of the damn things, I wonder how far is too far? Do I keep going? Stripping the planet until it sends me crazy? Do I do a Gorf, and crash and burn?
