So how big this is again?
What the hell is that glowing grid thing? I haven't seen that anywhere yet.

Well, yeah I get that, but like I said those games also had strong gameplay and narrative hooks. I'm not sure NMS will have the staying power/longevity for most players with just the exploration hook considering the samey-ness and monotonous nature of it.
Games like Flower, Journey, and ABZU (just to name a few popular ones) allow the player to lose themselves in the game-world but they also do not over-stay their welcome, if they did there would be other needed gameplay mechanics/hooks to keep the player interested.

This was happening to me a lot, but it stopped when I was more careful to release the button used to take off right after launch. I also started to use the air brake and nose down right after launch.

I'm not sure why but shooting lasers into rocks are quite addictive and the soundtrack definitely helps as well.
I've actually figured out what causes this and it's easy to reproduce. This happens when you land near any mineable resource deposit. Once you try to take off the deposit bounding box then boots you off planet.
Steam broadcast? Same thing happened to me. No sound. We were going to try out Twitch otherwise. I just wanted to see what he was up to.

Sell whatever makes money.
Gold is good but flying in space with a lot of any valuable items can get you attacked by pirates, so take care.
The resources you need for your ship and suit are Plutonium, Thamium9, Carbon, Zinc, Titanium or Iron. Sometimes these will be interchangeable. For example, sometimes you might want to use Carbon to refresh your suit if you are running low on Plutonium as Plutonium has more uses.
Thamium9 is needed by your jump drive but if I remember correctly you can't use Plutonium.
You'll get the hang of it fairly quickly.
Also remember you can stack 500 in one slot on your ship inventory but only 250 on your suit
Well, if you have Sentinel aggro on the surface then you'll alert the Sentinel Starships in space too. It's pretty annoying lol.
afaik it's highlight for material that you need. Emeril is needed for warp drive?
After I got all mined. It had core like apple, couldn't destroy it.

Continually surprised how much I've been enjoying this game. I still have this general sense of "I'm not really doing anything though" but it's a very relaxing sort of game regardless. I put on some old Giant Bomb videos I've never watched, kick back, and just explore. It's nice.
Found a sweet multi tool with 13 slots last night that looks like an assault rifle so that was awesome.

I know right!?
I think I spent 2 hours just trying to find the best ship. I was at the exact price point your at.
Tips: find a ship with a hyperdrive enhancement, the most slots, as well as the most expensive ship. Once you do even more expensive better looking ships with hyper drives and slots become available and you will have a ton of slots to farm even harder and buy a better looking ship next.
Don't worry about getting a ship that looks good now. Almost all of them are trash until you get the expensive 5m to 10m ones.

Has anyone busted into Freecam to see this in game?
Up on the D-Pad, right? I found it by error lol

Yea. Press UP on your D-Pad to toggle on and off.
Handy when in dark caves.
Don't know what the Keyboard button is.

I saw an amazing looking ship that had 34 spots, I didn't have the funds for it.
I'm hoping once I hit 48 slots I will stumble on wrecked ships until I find the same looking one. I'll try to stay in the same galaxy in case that ship is more common in this one.
Wait, there is sentinal star ships? I obviously haven't been pissing them off enough!

Most likely doesn't work because there's no need to render the player model in an FPS (in this case).

Nah, I tested this when it started happening and it is completely random. A couple times holding downwards towards the planet I went tumbling into space. It has to be a bug, when it wants to launch you into space it will.

Do I choose Transmission for crashed space ships?

Yea. They're almost always distress signals from crashed ships..

Is it possible to get a new launch thruster that doesn't consume fuel as fast? This alone is making me hate the game
Is it strange that i don't have the game (too much resource management for me unfortunately) yet i'm excited to see how the game will evolve? It will be interesting to see graphical enchancements like the new cloud rendering tech they have planned. Now that the game is out, Hello Games can concentrate on making it better and it seems various "smaller" things (e.g. inventory wise) would already help a lot. I can't help but feel that the potential is there judging by what i'm reading about the game. Let's hope Hello games will have the budget and resources to keep working on it. In that sense, i feel it would have been accepted a lot more if it had released at a lower price (not saying it should though).
Yes, I think there are other kinds of transmission, but that's how you find crashes in general
This is the first description I've seen that really captures why the game has its hooks into me. Very insightful, and a good lead-in to the reason why it should be seen as an imperfect but brilliant success story after a few bugs are ironed out and the mechanics see a little more tuning.

The resource management isn't annoying at all. You need plutonium for most things and that literally spawns at every single corner on every planet. If you mean managing inventory space until you can find a trade outpost to sell your stuff then yes, that can get quite annoying early on. I managed to get like 20 suit inventory slots on my last planet so it's really manageable now.
Yes. It's not in the game.
Yupp, kinda easy to miss since it's not shown in the controls AND doesn't work at all when it's not dark.

Is there a reliable way to find blueprints for ship upgrades?
Does it even matter if you are human, alien or an animal ? Even if there was some grand reveal at the end what would that do for you if you never saw that picture? Oh may I've been playing as a horse all along...lol
That model is obviously a joke and you are playing right into the joke by talking about it as if it's some sort of mystery. The identity of the player is still a secret to you which you will find out (if that ever happens) while playing the game.
I play ED and SC with KBM and voice attack. It is far better then this game with either KBM or controller lol.

I didn't realize I was out of plutonium last night, and ended up getting stuck on a mostly water planet. Wandered around for a good hour and eventually came across only 40 plutonium.
So far as I know, this is not true
I am on a planet that seemed to have landing pads and call beacons everywhere. Left my ship to find the last creature and figured it was safe with so many places to call the ship. Realised I was ~30 mins from my ship when I finally found the creature. Lots and lots of boring water in between.
So I said "well I'm gonna stumble upon a call thingy aaaany second now". Now I'm 1 hour from my ship, still no beacon. Oops.
Realised I hadn't found a place to save for about 45 mins either and I had found sooo many words during that time. Finally got to a small shelter with a save point. Now to decide if I keep going the other way (towards transmission tower markers), go straight back to the ship through the soul crushingly boring water or try to go back but around the water
It's not a very fun planet, very barren on land with lots of water and underwater stuff. Lots and lots of word stones tho. Hrm.

So I found this planet with a huge network of underground tunnels and caves. They were filled with Vortex Cubes (I think that is what they were). I went deeeep and got lost. I seriously had a feeling of claustrophobia as I tried to find my way back out. I finally did after about 30 minutes and had ended up super far away from my ship.
I tell you what, while this game, in my opinion, lacks a lot of... well "gameplay" it sure does deliver "moments" like no other game. I am really enjoying playing it in a relaxed way. I have used a wormhole, and I am close to upgrading my warp drive to skip star systems, but not trying to force any sort of objective or structure as that seems like when the frustration of lack of stuff to do sets in.

No they do - just hard to see sometimes. Also, there are probably like 100000 trading posts on each planet - just have find 1
Yup, space police. Not sure if they're around in every system but I'd think so.

I had to buy this ship , i just had to. I felt so sorry for it just having that one Wing.
Like that feeling when you see an injured animal.
Good thing it´s controllable like any other ship despite the missing wing

Is that a wing or an antenna?
Is there some way to mark space stations so that they are at least visible? In my first solar system, the space station was automatically marked and fairly easy to navigate to as a result.
I've discovered and explored all 4 planets in my current solar system and still can't locate a space station.
