Wanna fly a Python MK II before August? Sure that'll be some IRL $$$$ please. 🤮

Don't have Odyssey?

Still a Horizons poor? Shame on you Have to pay up or never fly a Python MK II.

Also "boosted" ships. With weapons + ship kit + paint job.

IMHO let us sell pre engineered ships ourselves eh? >.>

Hey Frontier. How about an engine upgrade to DX12 and some FSR 3.0 instead?

Honestly, If they just released "ship variants" as a ~$35 DLC I'd probably be having less emotions over it.

But Odyssey players can wait till August for Python MK II.

What's to say the next variants are not 100% ARX only?

On one hand, happy that new cmdrs can go and do content, without being gate kept by engineering.

On the other hand. There's an entire Alliance faction with 0 bonus ships for reputation levels......

Would have been a shame to lock em behind them or something something instead of ARX.

Or maybe they are gonna tweak the current weekly earnable limit or add bonus payouts for things like Titan Hearts have. 🤗🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️🤔

I bought this game under the impression that it was anything like the 1980's awesome space epic exploration game.

Turns out that you need an internet connection and to create a bloody account before you can start playing the game you bought.

Fuck that, never again.

You bought this recently? And expected it to be something like a 40 year old game?

I think Americans' critical thinking and reading comprehension skills are low because too much lead exposure.

Need Internet connection to install/download the game. Says requires Internet connection. Says requires Frontier account. 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↕️🤔

American here, he’s just a dipshit. Everything he’s complaining about is right there on the Steam page. Almost like that information has some sort of.. informative purpose..

Not only that but you have to buy it from a different source if you want a second account! And you'll be highly dependent on outside-of-game tools, because the game doesn't provide any info past really basic stuff! Yeah, the game has some quirks and questionable design choices, but believe me, there's nothing like it out there. If you're looking for a spacesim and you enjoyed the original you'll likely enjoy this one immensely. I suggest you give it a try, warts and all.
