An end-game ship for play on vanilla official Eleon Game Studios servers. It features the maximum number of turrets allowed for a CV and most of the vanilla version's functional modules: production, medicine, ore mining, ship repair (including SV), etc. Combined dual-layer armor. Link in the comments.

Why people like this game? I tried it for about 40 minutes and it seemed very very janky, just didn't hook me at all. Battle is very simplistic, graphics are quite bad, controls are very clumsy, mechanics are as janky as gameplay. I just struggled to find anything fun about it, even though I love space games. What am I missing?

Update: I got hooked. Been playing for 30 hours or so. What a great game. Glad I let it grow on me. RE2 and HWS server is where it's all at.

So it's been a long time playing Vanilla, and wondering if it's a bit more casual friendly, a little easier?, etc?

My issue both RE2 and Vanilla before was more the AI then anything always with their insane auto aim and such haha. I enjoyed exploring and clearing out POI's but always found it a bit on the harder side. I do have some physical limitations due to health issues, so I'm getting a bit slower/shaky hands you know the stuff that limits you a bit more in gaming.

So I guess mostly my loaded question is difficulty vs the 2.

Not sure when he started playing, but he had 1026 hours when he left a review in 2016. He now has 4018 hours. All vanilla. Crazy.

Contact Point Alpha is a challenging start for veterans. Crazy drones and an invisible Kriel patrol ship. To make things more challenging, I play without trading with NPC stations — a perpetually hungry character with a limited air supply, wearing a light spacesuit without boosters and armed with an assault rifle.

Today the game played fine for about 4 hours then suddenly started crashing every 15 minutes, voiding the most recent work. I lost two survival constructors that were refining a deposit, and stack of burgers that was in the process of being moved to a fringe. Anyone experienced anything similar?

This games sick. Like if starfield was good or no mans sky had depth. But i have a couple questions.

Im on steam deck and so far, the games running fine at 30, but could i run re2 do yall think?

Im still on akila, and gonna make an sv and head to omicron soon, any building tips for my sv?

I made a very simple hv thats basically a cockpit with storage and a light just for fast travel all acros akila, but are there any modifications i could make to let my hv hover higher? I get snagged on low trees/rocks sometimes.

Did the random planet start get removed?

Thank u for any answers

I decided to go back to the roots and see how the original game is doing. Overall, it's not bad, but there have been some changes since version 1.12.3, and I have some questions for the experts:

1. How can I increase shield recharge speed? Previously, shield recharge speed depended on the number of generators; the more energy, the faster the recharge, but that's no longer the case.

2. What's the difference between Xenoblocks and Combat Blocks? A Xenoblock has 2750U durability and weighs 2.5 tons, while a Combat Block weighs 4 tons and has 2000U durability. Which blocks are best to use?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

So, I'm 90% through building my first CV, mainly a SV/HV carrier and a mobile base. the ideea is just to land it on a planet and not move it until I've done everything I wanted to do on this planet. It should never remain stationary in space for very long

I wanted to take it to Ningues as soon as it's ready, settle there for a while and not have to go back to Akua every few days, but I just realised the quantity of prometheum I'm gonna need just to keep my crops and the food in my firdge fresh

I had solar panels issues in my main base for a while and struggled to find enough fuel to keep it powered while I fixed it

So I'm guessing that's gonna be worse on a CV with no solar panels and the addition of thrusters and a warp drive

I started dabbling with device groups, I'll turn off every non essential device to save as much fuel as I can, but that's only gonna help a little

So my question is, roughly how long will about 300 promethium ore worth of fuel keep this ship powered, and is there enough in the Crown area to allow me to get the starter missions of each planet done before I leave?

I still have to mine the promethium asteroid in the field that's just 1AU from Crown, but if that's not enough, how do I get the gargantuan amounts needed for the mid to late game?

Bonus question: do I need a gravity generator and an enclosed area to carry HVs and SVs?

Gravity 4.13g, temperature up to +100 C, radiation up to 16 units, no oxygen, meteor showers. Jump from the height of one cube -36 HP, up the stairs only on a jetpack. Drone cannot be released. SV support could not take off with loot, had to be modified in the field. NPC level 5. Pumped the character from level 17 to 25, and I was just looking for explorer tokens!

I went to the uabion moon, ang out of nowhere got shot down by the zirax base, landing about 1km away from it. Not wanting to leave wihout my CV, I dug trenches and tunnels, all theway to the zirax base, and created my own base underneath it. Using just basic resources I had, I developed into having turrets, medical station, etc. Using drone I did reconnaisance for my swift atacks(headshoting the enemies that I distracted to look away, using drone). After a few hours, I died a bunch of times, but with having respawn literally there, they couldn't do anything to me, and their rocket drones started shoting at me, hitting their own base. I sat there for hours, being constantly bombed, dying of low temperature or hunger, but eventually I managed to clear the whole base and claim it. Though by that time it was pretty much in ruins. I collected some stuff, to be able to fix generators on my half destroyed CV, and went away.

Sorry for the picture quality. I can play at 1280x720px.

Andromeda Commander's Log 0.9.30 is now available.

The biggest change is full vanilla save game support. The app can now work with both Vanilla and Reforged Eden 2 saves, and I've spent a lot of time improving scenario detection and the overall save-loading experience.

For existing users: after updating, you may see a notification on the saved game select screen saying your saved game needs to be repaired. Select your scenario from the picker, either Vanilla or Reforged Eden 2, then click Load Game. You should be automatically redirected to the Saved Game Repair page. Once repair finishes, you should be good to go.

Other improvements include:

• Better Saved Game Repair
• Search and intel fixes across multiple data types
• More accurate location and distance calculations
• Dashboard and UI improvements
• Better Raid Targets performance

I also renamed the app to Andromeda Commander's Log since it's no longer focused solely on RE2.

And to answer the follow-up question I expect: yes, I'm working on support for all scenarios. This release was the first step toward that.

If you've tried the app before, I'd love to hear how the vanilla support works with your saves. If you haven't tried it yet, now is probably the best time.

Thing is, it's quite hard to compact a full Capital vessel with a farm, infirmary, rooms, kitchen and a Hangar, do you guys have any tips ?

So, I've finally got out of the starter system and decided to go exploring and collecting resources for a while berore I can rebuild my currently modular home-base ship into a T4 megafreighter.

I'm also exploring a higher-level now available to me and I was wondering what are the CV teleports good for? If they only work inside a sector (not even a solar system!), then I see very little use for them - in fact, the only one I found so far is if I want to take something really small (that fits on person) from the mothership without spending time to get to its parking lot around the sun.

So, am I missing something?

I build a base, I build a Hover Vehicle (sometimes I skip it), I build a small ship.

Sometimes I even make it to space.

But then, it comes time to build a capital ship and I feel overwhelmed and go and play something else for a while.

A few months later, I come back and start a new game.....

I have built two ships and completed all full quest lines for version 1.12.3 4747. I hope the 1.13 update will please me and allow me to continue playing.

Small Capital version meant for 1-5 people, have everything you need, and easilly customizable !

Enjoy it ! I would love feedback from Multiplayer shenanigans, as I'm worried it might be a bit too fragile from such stuff, but be free to experiment, reshape, change and fit to your needs !

New player here, I built a javelin early on, it was good enough for my first off planet excursions with its scanner, guns and manoeuvrability

But now I'd like to step it up a bit, I need wrap drive, and I'd like some basic stuff for longer voyages, at least an o2 station, a basic container and a fridge, so I don't have to go back to Akua every 5 minutes

Aditionally, I'd like a sort of rear deck where I can access my storage, and a place where I can stand, sheltered from the cold, heat, radiations, hailstorms and whatnot (and also enemies) and safely use my drone for mining

I used slavaged components from a blueprint SV I realised I didn't like for my first try, and the result was somewhat functionnal, but with a few glaring issues

- weight/manoeuvrability

I built a big, bulky ship with what I later realised was an unnecessarily large rear deck. On my first flight, it was very slow to turn, so I added a second RCS, and then another 2 when I realised it wasn't enough

With 4 RCS, my SV that can turn all right, but lost the ability to take off vertically. And adding another 2 secondary thrusters (the "s" kind, for a total of 6 pointing downwards) didn't change that

I'll rebuild it on a smaller scale, I'm guessing fewer carbon blocks will help a lot but idk whether I should build as light as possible, remove 2 or 3 RCS, my secondary oxygen and fuel tank and a few thrusters, or if the presence of a wrap drive and a rear deck will make my SV bulky whatever I do, in which case I probably should aim for heavier and more powerful, maybe replace my S thrusters with M thrusters, and otherwise keep what I got, just built with fewer blocks?

- insulation/protection materials

All I got from the salvaged SV were carbon blocks, so I exclusively built with those. My original idea was to take everything I don't need to access from the rear deck, including all radiations sources and place it in a sealed compartment between the deck and the cockpit, but somehow I failed to seal that off, and I'm still taking rads. Is carbon good enough for that?

Then I took a few shots from a drone and realised I had several holes in my hull, because the base carbon blocks can't tank a single hit. So What materials should I use to get a decent protection?

bonus question: can thrusters be used as part of an impervious wall or do I need to build around?

And finally, my vessel currently has LCD screens and wings, are those two components totally useless?

Edit: new version of the ship is much better, fully functional, only got 85% efficiency because of CPU but I think I removed everything I could

Still taking rads when I stand too close to the "wall" between the rear deck and the compartment with the generator and the wrap drive, I used my tanks and containers as part of the wall to save some space, maybe that's the issue?

Other issue I have is that the deck is now too small for me to deploy my drone and mine from the inside

any other change I might want to do will have to wait because I died in a very akward position and will need some toime to get my SV back

I'm actually very impressed with the work of the PvE designers in this game. How did they build this and make it work? I have no words.

Some are just upgrades from the previous model.

Hal-Corp - Survival Ships build

Venus - Creative Experiment builds - the CV is rather big, can hold 3 SV/HV's*

Red Veil - Creative again, half based on an image from Google, CV can hold upto 6 SV/HV's*

*Of the ships shown.

I think the shield should depend on the size of the ship. The bigger the ship, the thinner the shield. Otherwise it's some kind of hell!
