Re: Shipwrecks es2

That's a nice idea. I don't know if it will be implemented but I'll put it on our ideas list. Thanks.

Re: [001] Ease Players In (Cascading Information Theory)

Thanks for your suggestions! We will have an introduction which serves as a tutorial and gradually explain things that are new to the player. We won't explain "virtually every aspect of the game" though. It's a fine line, I know. I don't agree with you on the "figuring out for themselves" aspect. Players will need to find stuff out, they have to try and fail or don't understand now but understand later. In case of the shadow creatures: There most likely will be some kind of backstory but we won't tell the player to avoid sunlight when he picks one up the first time. Where would be the fun on finding out how it works?

Re: Version Update with Game Pass on PC

Sorry about the unlikeliness of further updates, but it would be so much work that we'd only lose time and money on it.
However, I did some digging, a user posted this on our discord and you might still be able to transfer your save files: Look for the folder \AppData\Local\Packages\ROCKFISHGames.EVERSPACE_wm11qtfe9fmzj\SystemAppData\wgs\

Inside will be 2 folders with a randomly generated name, in one of them you should see a couple of files. Essentally they match up with the steam saves, but their filenames are randomized. The biggest one should be the save file for your overall progress (and the only important one), it should be between 150 and 270kb in size.

So with Everspace closed, you could go to your steam save game location, which is \AppData\Local\RSG\Saved\SaveGames and make a backup copy of your CurrentPlayerSave.sav (just to be sure) and then replace it with the big file from the other folder, renaming it to CurrentPlayerSave.sav.

Note that you can access the AppData\Local folder easily by typing %LocalAppData% in a Windows explorer address field.

Re: Beating Gorc

At last, I "took one for the team". I've been a hardcore gamer for many many years (my first computer was a commodore PET), so when I say that was one of the hardest challenges I've ever played you know where I'm coming from.
So (for anyone struggling with this) I changed my strategy...
Initially, fire 2 Arc-9000's to take out some of the turrets on Gorc's ship. Then, using cloak, I finish off all of the lower turrets with a shock rifle (three +'s) and further heavy missiles (there's some on both sides of his ship so be sure to take them all out). Don't worry about the turrets on top of the ship although you can take them out if you wish. When the ship spawns fighters, lock on to them individually and take them out with heavy missiles.
Now for the cores. Collect each core and get close enough to where you need to drop them off. When the beam is charging, take out the fighters with heavy missiles until it fires. Then, when it fires and the shields start recharging, drop off the cores.
Take your time. Cloak will give you enough time to find good hiding spots and take out the fighters.
Wow! That was tough!!!

Re: more corvete types please

I love the idea of going inside a massive behemoth of a machine seeing all of it's internal components and breaking them with varying effects.

It's going to be a fun day when we show these instances off.

Re: Trading between systems.

Everspace 2 is still an arcadey space shooter, it just has a lot more loot this time around. As such, it may be a bit difficult giving options that focus only on trading when there are more combat heavy choices in the mix (I feel most would go for combat because of the very nature of the game).

This would need to be delicately handled, but I could see it happening.

Otherwise, the value of items will also be determined to where you take the item to. The demo only has 4 locations, all in the Ceto system, so nothing has too much value over anything else. (While we haven't implemented any changes between these star systems yet, the point is that there will be in the future and your choice of goods and market will affect your profits.)
