I love how much orbital infrastructure there is in this game. Most space games that I've seen have very little infrastructure, but any large, well-established space-faring civilisation would have a ton of stuff floating around out there.

[MrPuch]

You know, I just noticed how rare it is for space sims of any kind to have an actual ship interior. It's so much more immersive.

I started playing last night. Here are a couple pointers, but no spoilers.
- when accepting a job, if the starting system is your current one you'll see a little downward arrow in front of the system name. Compare Splats first and second contracts.
- if you're having issues backing in, keep at it and you'll get there. If you're about to give up on the game drive forward toward the known dock, complete stop, then rotate in place then back up.
- remember when Splatt showed us the grav equipment? Those stairs can be left in the up position so that your cabin cargo won't invade your cockpit if bad things happen in flight.

I do wish there was a better way to find contracts when in a system. Sure there are only a few stations, but until you visit, and then memorize which have job boards you'll have to fly to each one in turn and hope that you notice the job board icon when you start to get close. Opening the map then zooming into the system should state which services are available at each station.

Yeah, breaker one-nine
This here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig Pen, c'mon?
Uh, yeah, Ten-Four Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon
Yeah, its a big Ten-Four there, Pig Pen
Yeah, we definitely got the front door, Good Buddy
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we've got us a convoy

[Verse 1]
It was the dark of the moon
On the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We was headin' for bear
On 'I-1-0
'Bout a mile out Shakey Town
I says, Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck
And I'm about to put the hammer down

[Chorus]
'Cause we got a little 'ole convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a little 'ole convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight
C'mon and join our Convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the USA
Convoy
Convoy

“trying to put the cheese inside the quesadilla.” 😂
i want splat to talk in space trucker speech/slang the whole time. he def has the wit for it

[hylomane]

I don't know how I missed Space Truckers growing up but it was a great movie. This game looks to be heavily inspired by it.

[pmcollectorboy]

Splat not bothering with the major highways like a bawse.

[eleeyah]

I... think you're supposed to use the highways, rather than dive through the debris fields? XD

[toasega]

I could watch a whole series of this. I never did roofing or drove a truck around, but this is EXACTLY how you'd talk to your guys on the job. Especially the part where you thought it was a pull-through and it wasn't, that is CLASSIC work banter right there.

[CowCommando]

Whoever drew that planet art better have that in their portfolio because dang that is gorgeous.

[TomasPetr]

Okay, now I need squre pigs, half cyborg pirates and killbots.

6:50 Helium is not explosive. It is, in fact, the MOST STABLE ATOM in the known universe. It basically refuses to react with ANYTHING under ANY circumstances. The explosive one you're probably thinking of is Hydrogen.

[vwlssnvwls]

Something about trucking in space makes me think of reading Heavy Metal and watching the movie. :D

[TheAgamidaex]

god, I love the design of the interior of the truck
all the little sections and compartments and the liftable stairs? that's so good

[Arcon]

I'm so bad at this game but I'm enjoying it so much. It's a shame you can't go to planets in it. I completely agree that the batteries go out way too often. You can even buy more than 3-4 at a time so you have to bounce around just getting everything back to top level. I wish stores had more items and you could carry more.

Also helium is inert and is not explosive/flammable

[StainGlassArch]

Finally an accurate scaled planet. That alone makes me want to play.

Tip for those who fly w/o grav on (save those cells!) Put stuff into the crates, then the crates on the shelf. Open the top again, and it will jam against the shelf and prevent it from flying away when the grav is off (still goes flying if you collide with something though). Also, you only need to run a single air filter from what I've seen thus far. Air quality drops hard at 30% so make sure you swap them out then sell the used one to recoup same cash. You can usually find them in the debris salvage - those are good value, as are the stabilizers (4.5K sale I believe).

Been following your channel for quite some time now, may not have seen every video, may even forgot about your channel among many others i use to watch years ago, but you always have had a way with commentary that is just under rated and is calming and soothing, youve made many a nights better through life we all face challenges, its amazing to have "felt" you there with me when even i didnt want to be here, no matter the struggle we can perceiver and overcome it, I hope you see this splattercat.

[tinygriffy]

What I'm missing from the interior is a contraption that allows you to jettison (up to) 2 liter soda bottles right next to the steering wheel... 😅

[ttsymphonyg]

The soundtrack for the demo was a banger after another. Really cool game
