(On this note, the fan fiction was a missed opportunity. But I think that problem isn't as simple as bigger fuel tanks. A game shouldn't make it preferable to subvert its own structure. Yeah the fuel management seems off in Origins because it's easy to see I'm not the only one who used the Tywom as a utility, not an exception. Personally I'd try to think up a way SC:O could have done / could do both. Uncharted portals with random destinations to discover (or worry about), a new race with significant story impact, new fuel implications. Starcon 2 did two great things with it by 1) making it an unexpected mid-game reward, giving it the build-up space to be a big fun deal to the player, and 2) making it still something you actually play. I don't think one person has denounced the what of fast travel. It really is a modern thing, people expect to have stuff like that. It's a touch late now, but another option you could've taken would've been a bigger fuel tank and starbase portals unlocked as a later stage bonus thing.Д«igger fuel so you could actually go somewhere without being constantly bombarded by fan fiction and the unlock thing so you'd first enjoy the scenery, later use the luxury.ДЄll in all, even though it does steal some feeling of adventure and travel away from the galaxy, it's better this way. While you could walk around in that game world, how many really did, all the time? It might be fun to begin with but it'll get old so fast travel is a welcome addition. I remember the old days but heck, you need not to look further back than the days of Skyrim. Teleporting around the sector was a good thing in my books. Honestly the starbase chats were among the most enjoyable of them all.

Fun facts always seemed to give cryptic hints or just red herrings. To end on a positive note, being Australian, the starbase accents were fun for me.Дialogue was EXCEPTION_POSITIVEADJECTIVENOTFOUND. That's the 2nd bit I'm trying to say here there wasn't some other substitution game-changer of similar scale. They a) still wanted a way to skip across the map, b) couldn't copy the Quasispace surprise so didn't try, and therefore c) must have some other big game-changer in store. Obviously SC:O couldn't just bust out Quasispace again without it looking a bit stale, so when I encountered the hypergates it felt like it made sense. * Nothing compensated for the big Quasispace twist of SC2. * Map click go wait stop E click click map click warp click map click go.

There were 2 bits that really did bother me about the hypergates: The particular recipe of autopilot-yet-still-in-danger floated my boat.I want to acknowledge my own bias here, but I do I know I consciously liked the long journeys decades ago. I really liked the 'long journey' feeling of big hyperspace trips in SC2 it felt more meaningful.
