So yeah, 2.1 has made the game a lot more stable. Really starting to feel my pilot skills coming on now and taking out A.I. hostiles is pretty straightforward.
There's now a few tasks to do and a couple of investigations in far away systems. One of which you have to explore an isolated outpost for a woman who's husband died in mysterious circumstances.
You have to exit your spacecraft, manoeuvre into the abandoned facility to find a trail of messages. Really creepy mission.
I've got a fairly basic ship, fast and carries cargo but also has some pretty fine fixed lasers that do a lot of damage.
Still early days with this one but the fact that I keep loading it up says a lot.
