Sitting at 1238 on my clipper with a 6A shield. I love the hauling capacity of this thing.
Think my CG burnout maybe subsiding, might jump in my T11 and do some mining.

Hmmm … I guess I never realised I needed TWELVE sides!

I need to metabolize the news.
I’m happy.
I’m not.
I’m hype.
I’m confused.

I’ve had this game since early access, and I’ve absolutely gotten my $150 out of it several times over.
I’ll totally pay for a station out of pocket.

Yeah, I’m very tempted. We’re still only about 30% of the way to completion on our Ocellus station and I assume the requirements for the Dodec will be significantly higher, so I don’t think there’s much chance of building one outright.

I will totally throw the ARX your way if you’d like.

That’s much appreciated 
OA seems unimpressed with the Dodec but otherwise happy. It’s nice to see him return to doing ED content:

Id pay for a dtation or 2 out of pocket as well. Just to avoid that grind but i wonder if they missed the opertunity to make big dollars on this.
Also somewhat concerned that we are getting another exploration ship. The mandalay is a perfect explorer, seems to early to obsolete her.
Not sure what type of ship would be good next but maybe a compact fleet carrier, half the size and price, double the jump range? Make it ownable instead of leased.

So, I am absolutely for monetization, in one way or another - that’s not my gripe. On top of that it’s a una tantum cash thing- I’m really fine with that.
What I cannot stand anymore- 10 years in this game- is that they keep on playing these tease-&-release crap with features.
Fine- you want suspance… do it for the ships but at this point just tell us what the features are. Atmospheric landing is incoming? Be freaking proud of it and say it out loud!
We are at a point where more features are just going to be more icing and cherries on our cake…
Tell us, FD, stop the silly teasing, it’s not a kickstarter anymore. Darn… so bothersome.

This video reports that apparently the new ship hints at atmospheric planetary landings…
This should be time-marked to the moment they start talking about it…
this video is the reason why I am slightly imaptient with this stuff.
Frontier keeps blueballing us with silly “
OOooooh, who knows what the next feature will beeee 
”
Stupid.

Be intresting to see where they go, but this makes sense if stations become purchasable

Hmm. Might be worth it to stock up a carrier full of CMM composites before they go

I’m incredibly excited about reworking on-foot stuff and being able to explore mega ships; derelict freighters are one of my favorite parts of No Man’s Sky for a reason.
Also, I want that new ship. Especially if it comes out in time for DW3.

Agree- I’d be more enthused and less annoyed if they simply spelled out the future better.
Otherwise I keep thinking they are half assing it.

Looks like next Thursday the 13thy we will get access to HIP 87621. Should be interesting to see what exobiology holds here.

I’m starting to think I want to own a system too…
Have to get back in touch with the System Colonization chart and see what stations brings what.

I had a few “milestones” I wanted to hit before owning a system. 1 was being able to afford a fleet carrier, thankfully the last CG helped me with that. However, if my first station can be this dodec then that would take care of my 4 week concern and really make colonization a bit easier.

RE: Fleet carrier
I’m constantly thinkin over this lately… definitely having a carrier helps, but at the same time I am afraid it makes gameplay unwieldy. In a manner of speech, it’s like having a Lamborghini in real life while being a regular guy: It costs a lot but can’t really park it where you want or need it, you feel like you need to use it to justify the costs/upkeep, the fuel is a cumbersome resource to come by (requires mining that I don’t really like to do)…
Yes the large cargo helps immensely for colonizing a system but I am not sure it’s worth the hassle. I’d rather pay a friend to let use his. Or rent one.
