I am thinking of picking up the game on steam, is it still possible to get a group going?

Hey all, title says it. I've been fine-tuning my AI bots throughout my play thru. I think I mostly have them where I like them, but I feel like this final fight needs them all to be completely reconfigured. Any tips on beating the Warp Guardian (solo)? Using the USS Intrepid with decently upgraded loadout:

Lvl 9 Military Shield Gen

Lvl 6 Adv Fusion Reactor

Lvl 5 CCG Hull

Dual Lvl 5 Focused Laser Turrets

Lvl 3 Main Turret

Lvl 1 Tracker Missle

Lvl 1 Shield Piercer Missle

Dual Lvl 3 Dark Thrusters

Lvl 5 Inertia Thrusers

Lvl 3 Maneuvering Thrusters

Is there something I should be using instead or upgrading? Thanks for help!

i noticed when I hold Z and open the quick menu as the captain, i have 8 empty command boxes. how do i put commands there? i want to make commands like "get us out of here" when overwhelmed in combat and stuff like that. But I can't figure out how to put commands there. Thanks for the help!

No specific time or commitment involved, just hit me up if you'd be interested.

hey i was wondering if anybody wanted to play with me mostly in europe thx

When I activate the sensor dish in the Academy, there is a percentage meter that fills up slowly (fills up with what and why in percentages?) and I can fire shots, which use up this percentage meter, and I can lock the scanner onto a black drone that's flying around. But that seems to be it.
Yet the instructions are telling me to "Gather Materials and Research New Talents 0/3" and I have no idea what it's talking about. Apparently you can gather scrap with the scanner but there seems to be no scrap to scan. I tried quitting and restarting but it seems to be the same. Is this a programming error?
What do I do?

I do not have online gaming friends but I find the game interesting. Should I buy it? Are there in-game lobbies that I can join with randoms?

I struggled in both real missions and Academy's engineering training. It's always overheating and shuts down! :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

I am new to the game and I play it with one or two other guys so duo/trio which roles are the most important to pick?

Someone have tried the game on Steam deck Oled?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if it was possible in the AI tweaks to make the AI pilot bot to get closer to enemy ships when engaging. He always distances 3 or 4kms when engaging and that makes the main turret only dealing 180 or so dmg, but when I pilot the ship and get closer (0.8-1.5km) the gun deals at least 400dmg.

I don't want to pilot during fights. Is there a way to tell the bot move closer when engaging ? Thanks !

we found an unnamed keycard, that says it leads to a raider hideout on cornelia station.
we searched for 20 minutes,throughout every sector of the station, and we could not find it, even with 4 people searching.

anyone know where this door is?

so, I just got the game from a friend and started doing doing the academy.
go through the classes, and do the tests.

I got all the tests, i.e. engineering, weapons, science, and pilot done and I wanted to do the captains section.
the screen says to sit down and press start to start the hailing tutorial, so I do that. i sit down, press start, and.. nothing

nothing happens when you press start in the captain's section of the academy. the hailing tutorial just doesn't work?. or am I missing something?

Is this game still receiving updates? Will there be any new content or a sequel? Have the devs made any other games with the same kind of cooperation?

I like to play crafty/basebuilding games with my kids 8/12yr old. We are finishing up valheim and thinking about our next coop game and i wanted to try something more space/sci fi themed. Their gaming skills are passible but not great, valhiem easy mode is about all they can handle.

I have looked online but info is slim compared to other titles, answers/advice to help me seeould pulsar be a good game for a gamer dad and some kidswould be appreciated.

Is there difficulty scaling? How easy do the ranges go?

Is building pretty straightforward? Looking for simple like valheim not sim building like space engineers.

Are the survival mechanics punishing? Constantly fighting death by thirst/hunger bats gets old after the initial game phase.

Does coop reward teamwork? Im not just looking to have fun, i want my kids to learn teamwork skills as well.

Game looks very cool, looking forward to reading yalls thoughts!

Does anyone know if it works? I know robots get the bonuses from eating biscuits but they don't get the health from food.
but if a friend eats an AOE biscuit i'm curious if the heal AOE would apply.

It seems like I can never find a lobby/ game to join Whenever I open one nobody joins. What can I do?

If so, why not set all systems to max until the reactor starts heating? It sounds like, until enough power is used to cause heating, setting the sliders less than maximum has only downsides (limiting scanning, etc.) and no upsides.
