So I just got this game with a friend. and our first 3 hours were pretty interesting.
First hour:
We were trying to find each other in space by using the moon as a reference point. During the trip, I stop at a donut asteroid and mine some iron/ice from it then continue my journey. We find each other and connect ships, and I used the iron I got to repair our starting ships. We then got hit by a meteor-shower and I spent 10 minutes trying to plug a hole.
Second hour:
We decided to land on the moon. With default respawn ships. We both crash-land because we suck, but we also both survive the crashes. Our ships landed in different ways, destroying different systems. He lost his oxygen generator, reactor, med-bay, and cargo hold. I lost my gyroscope, assembler, refinery, cargo hold, and collector. So we conveniently had all the stuff we needed to make one ship for the both of us. Problem was that we didn't know how to get to each other. We spent like 20 minutes trying to do that until we found out what coordinates are. But then he died of oxygen and energy loss. Oh well. So I continue the mission and try to salvage pieces from his ship, and I do so.
Third hour: My friend keeps getting reamed by space pirates, and I lose my med-bay to another meteor shower. I spent like 30 minutes salvaging his ship. I then put the gyroscope on my ship, put a bunch of thrusters on the back of it, and try to ramp off of the surprisingly smooth hill that I crashed on. I fail, and the roosterpit gets detatched from the rest of the ship. I try to stop this, but that only leads to it slamming through the windshield. I try to grind it down so I can catch up with the ship and reinstall it, but I instead get smacked by the chair mid-grind and die.
This game is amazing.
