ending perhaps when we reach the center of the universe? i remembered reading some sort of calculation that estimate the time it will take for us to reach there.. but cannot recalled where i saw it.

well, from what i understand, the main difference between this game and the real universe is the distance between each planet to one another, which is much shorter. sean murray did told us last time that the planet is the size of an actual planet, relative to the player character.

i still remember the calculation did result in some years for player to actually reach the center of the universe. one of the assumption that was made is that, we visit the planet for 1 second only then left to other planet, towards the center of the universe. of course, this doesn't take into account the time we need to grind for our equipment as it was supposed to be harder the nearer we are to the center of the universe.. with sentinels and what not..

with regards to the gameplay video from the unauthorized copy, i am going with the assumption that the copy that the guy bought is not the final copy.. the gameplay video that the guy released made me more excited about the game!

my progress so far..

- played around 30 hours +
- currently at 5th planet, on 2nd star system
- inventory slot = 42
- ship slot = 25
- multi tool slot = 11

weirdest discovery so far? i think i already came across another player while wandering about at the 2nd star system's space station. how i know it was another real player? the guy was using the red starter spacecraft. the name of the guy looks like russian, not the typical gibberish alien name and 3rd, i cannot engage/interact with the space craft. usually when you face a spacecraft, you can interact with it to go into trading etc.

best planet i visited so far is my 4th planet. everywhere is GOLD! choke-full of drop pods and damaged machinery!

i think the first few hours of game play is gone just to tweak the graphic setting

so far, i am enjoying the game. i am also aware that quite a lot of player is unhappy with the game play so far. perhaps due to their expectation. i am also in agreement that the game has a lot of potential. the question is whether hellogame is willing to push for the limit or just settle with how much money they make so far.
