Parents who have experience in both airport security, and trying to get kids to do literally anything.

Karlach: “Yeah. Why don’t you? That’s what I did.”

Well if my advice isn’t relevant, they can ignore it and have had lost nothing. Maybe you can explain what thier issues are.

I haven’t played X4, but I’ve played a lot of elite dangerous, and some of the problems you describe happened to me in ED as well. And like X4, ED did not explain it at all. I had to learn it from watching videos about the game, and other discussions in other forums. So maybe there are similarities in what I experienced

The speed limiting was due to being within close proximity to planets and stars who’s gravitational field prevents you from accelleratin quickly. If you are in open space, you accelerate very quickly, and can go faster than if you are close to something large. So maybe it has something to do with where you are.

I’ve had boost disabled randomly for me and I didn’t know why, but eventually I learned it was because I had been deploying my cargo scoop by accident and not realizing it before I got blown up. Maybe there is a ship module or function you are accidentally toggling that disables it?

That’s an annoying aspect of these space sim games, but one I’ve come to appreciate as learning the complex intricacies of flying a spaceship feels rewarding in its own right. Like being able to describe what every little button and switch does in an airplane, or a recoding stuido’s sound board. It makes you feel like you’re really mastering a skill, instead of just playing a game.

Who disturbs my slumber?

Talking gives a very small friendship bonus, almost non noticable, but it does a tiny bit. The key is giving gifts. You can talk to anyone while holding anything, and you will give them the thing you’re holding as a gift. Each person likes different things, and will respond if they like it or not. You can track who likes what by clicking on their profile in the social tab ( ❤️ icon). It’ll track what items you gave them and what their feelings on it were.

Also there are items you can discover, and also conversations with others that will clue you in to what some people like.

Oh no! RIP Rosa, the best otter. she will be missed.

Wow, TIL that we have a cricket team.

I thought the laughing stared with George W.

A good tactic when going against a shardblade.

Maybe if the police actually took steps to prevent robbery, or do literally anything to recover stolen property, people wouldn’t feel the need to try and do it themselves.

The good news is that if you live in America, living part 80 is a terrible experience that nobody would want to do anyways.

Ugh, fine! I’ll change it to “worth money” instead of “valuable.” Will you understand then?

It’s almost like words mean things.

Yeah sure, but they can’t be easily sold for money. If dead flys could be sold for money, humans would kill them to extinction, regardless of the consequences.

And most importantly, not worth money to humans.

No harm in trying again.

I saw a screenshot of someone getting a refund with 90 something hours. Worth a try and see if they give it to you. Better then being stuck with a purchase you can’t/won’t use.

The standard rules are no refunds for games played more than 2 hrs. The first time you ask for a refund it’s handled by an automated system. Ask for a refund again, and an actual staff member will review. So just try again.

I remember the tv ad that ran for them. It was a like a Mission Impossible style data heist and a dude zipped his files to the drive and jumped out the plane before it could be hijacked or some such.

Yeah I had a feeling that they wouldn’t remove the air entirely, but I still think it was kinda important to the weapons success. Oh well, I use the dominator anyways, so I’ll just stick to the old familiar, even if it has become a weakened little pea shooter.
