Mh.. I think they went the other way with batteries. With ~8% per hour, these batteries will last me more than 10 real-time hours! I might never change them before finishing the game.

Updates are good. Batteries hold much more charge and their pricing makes kind of sense (they all cost the same per unit of power, before the larger ones were more expensive), payouts are not bugged and penalties for damaging trailers are not ruinous.

Now I cannot finish the job because the cargo doesn't actually fit in the delivery bay. That's two jobs in a row lost by bugs in the game.

Again, I need to learn to be patient and not play games at launch because most of them are basically open betas. I'm officially off this game at least until path 1.1 and would recommend anyone interested in it to do the same. It's a great game and has potential, but not in this state.

I've just finished a long haul that took me 8 jumps. The trailer got destroyed by a random bug that affects some gates but the cargo was ok so I kept on. Except that the damage to the trailer was more than the job and I got nothing. This game really needs to be balanced better.

Now feeling a bit frustrated with this game. The problem is that I've advanced enough with the various side-jobs that the characters became interesting enough for me to want to do their missions. But because their missions pay shit, they don't advance my economy and I'm forced to stop and do random jobs to get back to a confortable place …

Now feeling a bit frustrated with this game. The problem is that I've advanced enough with the various side-jobs that the characters became interesting enough for me to want to do their missions. But because their missions pay shit, they don't advance my economy and I'm forced to stop and do random jobs to get back to a confortable place in which a single fuckup doesn't take me to the red.

Also, I've noticed that some of the upgrades are that kind of game upgrade that removes gameplay instead of making it more interesting. Things like improving fuel efficiency only removes the need to go to the fuel station as often, eliminating part of what defines the core gameplay.

I still like it, though. Those small frustrations come from a place of wanting to play and progress in the game.

Color me surprised: they made a space game that is actually fun to play! Miracles are real!

Well, fuck me for playing games on launch. I got a bug and now I cannot save and the game doesn't autosave. I just went through a gate and instead of going to the other system, my truck just accelerated straight into nothingness.

I need to learn to wait at least 6 months.

PSA for the game: turn off gravity. Store everything in hard cases (or even cardboard boxes) and it will be fine. If you open the cases on the shelves, they lock in place and stop flying around.

Also, turn off lights and turn down the heater to save energy.

Lost a good few hours to this today, feel like I'm getting sucked in now. I'm yet to play Euro Truck Simulator, but I am a sucker for simulation games, especially ones that say "hey you have to get from A to B and manage yourself along the way".

Getting out of your pilot seat to walk around your truck is neat, you can even space walk to repair your hull. I'm really enjoying fixing up and replacing electronic modules for things like oxygen, gravity, power supply etc. You can pickup and store some small items on shelves which is nice. I like getting carry cases and storing stuff in there. It's neat that you can check the different systems economy and sell your shelf stuff where there's better prices, adds an extra layer whilst you're hauling bigger stuff behind your truck.

I'm mainly enjoying just clicking all the buttons. Wish some of the buttons like the interior lights weren't behind your seat though, would be nice to access them whilst you're walking around.

This game kind of makes me want to give Elite Dangerous another try. One of the things I kind of not like is how the controls are more truck-like than spaceship-like. No strafing, nor going up and down and inertia kind of doesn't really work. You can deactivate the driving assist, but without the ability to control all 6 degrees …

So far, Star Trucker is basically what I expected. Delivering cargo IN SPAAAACE while juggling with energy, fixing hull breaches and trying not to hit debris. The level of micromanaging is about right, requiring constant little tweaks and microdecisions but nothing mayor.

This is out today! For some weird reason I've been keeping this game in my thoughts since I played the demo 6 months ago.
