| Slimebeast said: That's fascinating stuff. Those forums links were broken but the Eurigamer worked. It was cool to see them all jump into hyperspace. Epic! I regret I didn't buy the game on the sale Steam. Should one buy the expansion or just start with the base game? |
I guess you need to be a member for those secured links.
You might as well go for the expansion as you need Horizons to be able to approach, land on planets and drive around. Although you don't really need that at the start. You begin with a tiny ship and have to trade, complete missions, mine or scan planets to move up. You can make money by finding stuff on planets too yet that's much less efficient than going between space stations. And a lot more dangerous, don't approach a high g planet too fast :)
Beware it's not an easy game to jump into. Signing up for the frontier forums will give you access to tons of guides, or just get aquinted at your own pace. It's worth pushing through the initial difficulties. Here's a nice video for what Horizons adds
