DeathTech

Anyone willing to join me at some point to test out the player trade menu?

-Snip- Accidentally Quoted myself instead of updating.

I was referring to the time I tried to see how the game handles death by boosting myself full speed into an asteroid only for it to magically disappear on me, only to discover it was moved by the game out of my way. Then I tried pushing the asteroid slowly. No luck there just collision damage. But sometimes when I did the attempt to push an asteroid it just instantly blinks away to a nearby location.

I mean I did request reputation change on repairing ai faction ships with the repair turret. But it would be silly if they made it negative. I've never experienced this behaviour before.

Perhaps shipyard requires an abort current construction button.

Might be that the sector has too many objects for your pc to handle. Does it do it in other sectors too? And if you are flying with a big fleet try going to a sector without them following you, does it still do it? Other than that I can only say run the game, alt tab, press ctrl-alt-delete and see if any of your pc statistics are fully in use. Maybe something is hanging. If it is the sectors or fleet it would make sense to be limited to your save.

Yeah, usually when I get a game I have a browse to see how modding works for a game. And to see if there are any mods to fix "pain points" a game might have. It is always interesting to me especially because I love making mods myself as well although they aren't super fancy. They get minor annoyances out of the way. And I just love bundling some good topics together as long as they don't get in each other's way. That's why sometime's I mention things but say I will explain it in another tutorial. Because it would make the video too long or too skewed towards one particular topic. Image how annoying it is to visit a video for say "How to salvage" only to have to go through a 20-minute rant about the different turret types to find out that there are salvage lasers and you can't salvage with a mining laser. That would be so annoying. I rather keep it clean and comprehensive. That way no one is ever confused about what they will learn in a tutorial. I'm glad you guys are enjoying the series so far.

-Update- Just released the next video. "Chapter 1: Welcome to Avorion" - Setting up your configurations - Installing an unfinished language pack - Installing a mod - Starting a new game - The User Interface Hope you guys enjoy it! For most, I guess they will already know about most of the content. But then again. It's a full tutorial so anyone playing the game for more than 10 minutes will encounter stuff they already knew. But still guys! ENJOY! :3

Yeah, I looked into this for about two days and came to the same conclusion. It's just not available at the moment. It seems the sector name is randomly generated and then stored in some database file. But after generation, it doesn't seem to be possible to change it at the moment.

As a quick addendum. You can disable the "press space to continue" part of the loading screen in the options. Under the "game" tab. This will prevent confusion and definitely prevent death when jumping into a hostile sector. As you can still be shot and killed while this menu is up.

Sorry, my answer was not explained correctly nor in-depth. Let me try again. Alternatively, you can do that thing everyone else seems to be doing.

Death really isn't a problem for me in this game so far. Only died once. XD

Going to go out on a limb here.

Hey guys, This one is a bit weird and does not always work. But earlier today doing research for my tutorial series I noticed ramming an asteroid "VERY SLOWLY" sometimes results in the game moving the asteroid out of my way. I'm not sure of the conditions. I just know that most of the time it works if I fly into the asteroid directly and very slowly in a drone. If I understand what is happening it must have something to do with the placer detecting an intersection and moving the asteroid to a new location. If others can confirm this happens to them too then would be great thanks.

Thanks, guys. Very informative. I was just wondering cause I destroyed myself in a drone several times with no visible negatives.
