A few highlights:
-
There is a radio station in certain areas (probably the main cities)
-
No ground vehicles
-
Fully scanning/researching a planet nets money
-
10% of planets have life
-
Stolen ships are fully upgradable, but require registration which costs money
-
Both in-depth ship building and outpost building are for late game; ship upgrades can be done any time, but the in-depth builder is much more expensive
-
The inside of your ship is customizable and reflects the outside/modules you use
That was my first thought when I didn’t see any vehicles in the longer Bethesda overview of the game. A game so large it would easily support vehicles and vehicle bays for bases & starships. I wonder if we’ll see smaller space vehicles like little explorer, mining, combat, or boarding pods.
