Yeah that’s the most reliable way for leveling piloting, but I agree it’s super boring. I’ll admit I didn’t try it but I don’t THINK it works for starship command. Starship command has challenges like “destroy 50 enemies with a crew of 6”, and the sim is a solo ship.
Ahhhh good to know thanks. I’ll hold off doing anything with my main save until that patch then. Though it sounds like unless you’re in populated systems it shouldn’t happen.
Just dropping a comment because I’m curious too. This happened to me last night in the expedition, latest patch. Portaled from one station to another, gained like 4 outlaw rep and lost 7 gek.
Just FYI - ammo doesn’t weigh anything. I didn’t notice this for quite a while. If you have some cash go by a couple of gun/ammo shops and just buy out like, all of it. Pretty quickly you’ll get to the point where you have plenty of ammo for any gun you pick up. IMO the upfront cost is super worth not having to worry about having ammo for one gun or the other.
Thanks for the tips! I completely forgot about the mission boards. That sounds like the best way to specifically take on some space combat missions. I’ll keep an eye out for those scanner activity points too though.
It SEEMS so, but they also don’t have any HDR options and no way to tweak brightness so even if it’s technically “on” it doesn’t look right. I bought it from the Xbox store for pc/Xbox cross saves so I may experiment with it on the series x tomorrow. I just don’t want to choose between high frame rate and HDR.
This is most likely just coping, but I’m thinking MAYBE the big day 1 patch might fix this stuff? It’s pretty close to false advertising to list HDR10 on the msft store and have it simply not be there on the platform I primarily bought it for.
Not in this case. I’m using a 3090 and an LG C2 OLED, both extremely competent for HDR games. In fact I’m not sure if I’ve played anything this year that didn’t support it (outside of a few indie games).
There’s simply no option to enable it in settings, and it doesn’t kick on automatically. This TV will also flash an HDR logo if it gets an HDR signal, and very obviously kick into that mode.
Congrats! Glad I could help. I had the exact same experience as you. One of the weirdest bugs I’ve encountered in my long history of gaming.
Edit: and as a side note WHY does crashing kick you out of your keystone dungeon and brick the key instead of just burning a life? Just, WHY. That was the worst part for me.
I just want to see enough folks from some of the gaming communities move over: (Most of these have small communities already, I just want growth!)

Really any game with a fun online community, these are just a few of the ones I enjoy.
Just my take - if you’re planning on playing the same save file for 100s of hours like some people (myself included) the minor bonuses and ‘flex’ factor of an s class freighter can be worth it. For any normal ‘I’m going to play for a while and then move on’ save it’s absolutely not worth it and you shouldn’t worry.
Without save scumming, freighter events occur every 3 hours ish of active play. At a roughly 2% chance in T3 systems that’s 150 hours on AVERAGE. That assumes you’re also warping to a new eligible system every time that internal clock is running out. The only realistic way to get one is the reload method that others have mentioned. It’s up to you whether or not you go that route, I just wanted to emphasize that you really shouldn’t count on ever finding one naturally.
P.s. I think it goes up to 5% in pirate systems but the storage and tech slots are drastically reduced, so it’s kind of a wash time wise since bulkheads are time intensive to acquire.
Former Apollo user checking in! It’s oddly exciting finally trying something new after being on the same platform for so long. March of progress and all.
Just to add another data point, I have the same experience on windows and haven’t been able to solve it. I’m on windows 10, also an 8700k, and an RTX 3090. This build has no issues running modern stuff like cyberpunk /w ultra raytracing, starfield, bg3, etc.
Performance was never perfect but it absolutely tanked a few major updates ago. I THINK it was around the time the performance issues cropped up on the series x as well.
If you find any cause other than just “doesn’t play nice with older Intel CPUs” I’d love to know.
