Well, I tried the Skidrow release before I went out and bought it but it crashed from turn one. With retail, it's actually working with relatively few problems so far. Strategy is working, combat is working. It's got a few quirky problems but I'm sure they'll be ironed out. I'm fairly pleased with the game so far.

my issues until now :
i canot set lesser than 3 system from start. i dont like it.
ship design is not intuitive at all. camera reset almost every time i do something, systems i have no ideea what they do until i look in encyclopedia... i kinda prefer old 2d system for fitting + 3d preview in target weapon test.
there is a noticeable delay in moving trough different windows. solar system -> ship design and so. i wait for like 2-3 second on a faded screen.

In combat? Nope.
Just give the game a few weeks. Trying to play it now will only spoil your experience.

read his analogy with a a car and a sales man.
you canot compare a real life threating situation with a dangerless bunch of pixels.
in his analogy i would probably smack that salesman with a tire.
in the case of pixels, sots pixels, last of the 4x game announced that i know of, i can give the devs the time to repair their game, becasue my life dont depend on it.

Sure you can. The salesman sold you a car that didn't work. Just because he tells you it doesn't work doesn't make it any better. Just like with this game.

when you were transported to a hospital because a game crashed, vs a brake malfunction on your car ?
you trow yourself trough a window when game crashes occur ?
i will put a better post when i get to work  . |
dont be daft now  , My life is in the balance everytime I put money in these peoples hands waiting for that fucking crash one knows is coming these days, the stress involved is surely enough to take yearrrrrs offmy life, the heart could go into arrest and then I would be in hospital.
I really see no diff.. |

Agree.
If you buy something, it should be good and not a half finished product.
It would be worse if it was a car ,more money and possibly more dangerous but both should be worth the money.

This game is a fucking travesty, and no amount of smooth talk can change that. I don't care how hard it is to develop games. If you can't do it, you shouldn't do it.
Releasing a game with bugs is ok, as long as it's playable and will be functional in the foreseeable future. Releasing a game you KNOW to be totally broken is not ok, and if you can't own up to it fully - you will be facing contempt from me.
Recompense the people who bought it, and fix your game.

They are.
As I said earlier, if you're at all interested in this game, do yourself a favor and ignore it for a few weeks/months.

damn work, dint have the time to wrote some pages about pixels vs reality.
:d
ok, i will say no more.
i lost isk value of about 10.000$ in eve during my 5 years of play with a smile on my face.
if i would have lost that kind of money in real life, i would probably be in prison. for me pixels vs reality is a net difference. i buy games after i "iso" tested them, in this case i did the same, read what that man said, and i purchased after fully knowing that the game is a disaster because i want to support them.
Recompense the people who bought it, and fix your game.
they are doing that. anyone who played sots 1 and know kerberos knows that they are taking good care of it. and after a while, you will be able to play it like is suposed to play from begining.
i've seen worst.

I tried it several times, also today after the latest patch.
It seems the sound cutting out issue is fixed so that's good news.
I was stopped by crashes after a few turns every time I tried to play so far including today, and it's still a pain to switch to the different management screens like research,design, etc as it still takes a while to load those.
I think I would give it a go and try to play an actual game even with the slow screen switching but yeah.. the crashes.... they won't let me.
there's also a thread on the official forum that suggests the AI never attacks (in the strategic map I mean) which I would consider a gamebreaking issue but I can't confirm or deny it yet as I didn't get that far with the damn crashes!
