Vanguard, I guess yes, I'm rank one UC citizen. The other "major" quest I completed, it's about the crimson fleet. Other than these two, nope. I'm not in a hurry... At all
To be honest, in my opinion, the system is made for production. But for storage, it make no sense. I mean, only for crafted materials, I stacked 25 containers (300kg each...) and for example I have no idea of the amount of a specific item there is in the storage. I know there is no more, when well, there is no more... (except if I check on a recipe, which is kinda stupid^^).

I seriously think to return to my tiny chest in the lodge and in my NG+, I won't build storage outpost anymore. Just little outposts to produce materials, that's all. That's my biggest disappointement in the game, and it's a shame, I love making base in game in general
Beside, outposts are quite buggy for me (the most buggy feature in the game...). Like unable to build in preview mode, seem to "load" something indefinitely, I have to save/reload to fix it. Even with a landing pad, for unknow reason, I spawn in the outpost, but my ship "spawn" at a landing area at 1km of the outpost... Seem "unfinished" if you ask me.
I think they expected players will use their ship as a "main" base. I really hope they will improve outposts in the future, because like you said, it doesn't need much to be way better and useful. They could have made something great with outposts, but instead it's just very basic... Even No Man's Sky handle outposts better, which is a shame
I've grossly neglected the main quest until last night. I'm still not finished and I've only done a bit more investigating following the assault on The Lodge. That said; I suspect it's Keeper Aquilus. His obsession with Unity and those gloves.

It's basic in the sense that it's just containers (never said Fallout is not basic, it is^^), which you access manually and you stack them to add more storage. I mean, it's nothing more and as "basic" as the chests and hoppers to store and move items in minecraft. Damn, we're in 2330...
I'll let that one lie for now. I am too thoroughly hooked to spoil that.

What annoys me the most is that the ship system is good enough and work great.
It wouldn't that hard to add a "storage interface" that you can build to transfert from/to your ships/inventory, like for the ship cargos. And add one outpost module for each type of components, which can't be linked to production lines, which can store 2K/6K/10K in function of your outpost research level. Very simple...*
As it is now, for storage, it's nor easy, nor convenient. That's why I think it's either very "basic" and unfinished or either they expected people to use ships as storage
*Also add a module which do the opposite of the current Transfer Container, meaning unload automatically ressources from your ship cargo when your ship is on the landing pad.. Why it's possible to only load your ship, make no sense and seem "unfinished".
Agreed! This is peak Bethesda world building in my opinion. Based on their last two games, even at 50+ there is still plenty of content to unlock as you reach certain levels.I'll let that one lie for now. I am too thoroughly hooked to spoil that.
I gotta say; This game is Bethesda firing on all cylinders.
I finally met the eccentric collector aboard his flying museum, gave him a good blow in the stomach and took my bounty before I was whisked away by the UC's shadow division. I played my part and eventually made my way back to Constellation for break from the double agent bit. I rounded up some powers,Then we went back to exploring, neglecting the spy mission that I'm (maybe) nearing the conclusion of. Found some more encounters, new merchants, derelict ships, even a couple of distress signals - one led to a new crew mate and the other landed me a new ship after I boarded it and killed the spacers were in the process of murdering the crew during the call.The Hunter arrived, my fiance I had left behind while I went on excursions through space was murdered, everyone mourned and held a memorial. My friendship with Andreja blossomed into a committed romance (she had several racy comments each morning after we awoke in the Paradiso penthouse btw) and we eloped on a distant planet where she told me more about her upbringing and gave me an object of intimate emotional value.
'Okay, I'm lvl 53, probably running out of game now; let's get back to the main story' I think. I check in with Vlad on the Eye and as I'm leaving I notice a new ship icon in the Alpha Centauri system. I head there and it's a new level 50 monster ship - a Deimos capital class(like the legendary ships I took down before. I expect they'll tell me to f*ck off but nothing happens. It's not a potential boss, it's a new dungeon. I board the ship and I can see the Crimson Fleet is docked at another port. The dungeon is sweet, and not necessarily short. The gravity drive is broken, causing it to cut in and out - changing combat mid fight intermittently. With a bit of a puzzle in the way with how things loop around at the end. Not fantastic loot, but some creds and okay gear. Andreja has things to say about the ordeal, just as any companion surely does,just as Sarah did before she killed.
A mere few minutes after leaving I dispatch an Ecliptic fighter group and I am promptly hailed by the "Party Cruise". I'm expecting a potential trap, but I don't mind blowing someone's face off and taking their ship. No... it's an actual party. They have dialog and conversations, comments, quips, there's drinks and food. They ask if I want to turn the gravity off and I say yes - Andreja has comments about that, too.
I open the map and remember there was a system in the middle of bumble f*ck nowhere that had a name. Odd, that's gotta mean something important. I head out there and finda co-op settlement of worker convicts, an earnest attempt at reform. The contracted foreman is giving the counselor(a convict) an earful after one of his guys was badly injured trying to rescue one of them during, I assume, a collapse of the mine they're dredging. A new quest, and it sounds intriguing from the get-go.
Just about all the things I've wanted and perfect timing, too. I have already, easily, accepted Cyberpunk for what it is and/or will be rather than thinking about what it could have been. Gaming is a reprieve for me from film work, so I tend to take it seriously as a hobby because I can't enjoy films anymore. I can appreciate the wonderful stories that some games tell, and it says something about CDPR's writing that even though I was disappointed with their either broken or outright missing systems at launch - the game still had a place in my heart and I wasn't down on it until one of the first major patches completely broke the game for me.
I want systems though, I want emergent gameplay, I want the world to move around me not simply feign a reaction - and Bethesda has delivered in spades here. Not only do they have (most of) the mechanics I've always wanted, but there are some damn good stories here. Not just the main story, nor the faction quests, and the companion quests - seemingly out of nowhere quest you stumble upon with no reason to be there. They aren't short either, some of them take hours to conclude. Featuring several well acted characters, more than once a few of these characters popped up again in another quest(even minor events) and remembered me. Top shelf voice acting that fits the bill. Of course, since this is the CDPR forum, it's worth mentioning that no, it doesn't go as hard as 2077 with the dialogue but it doesn't broach some of the same material and it doesn't take place in that kind of setting. It doesn't need to be, but it comes surprisingly close with some real heart wrenching moments. What's here fits. The Day 1 patch did sort some of the facial animations in the pre-release, but even with some uncanny moments this is a step up from Bethesda. Lip sync is spot on and campanions do get an extra bit of love with their expressions - especially once they're romanced.
I can't believe it!
I landed on a "random" planet (Niira) while exploring and I stumbled across a main quest location... One of the first one main quest, normally I should have gone to meet Vladimir (I believe, because I didn't^^) so he can tell me where to look for the next artifact...
The galaxy isn't vast enough
You have to "unload" your ship manually, right?
Just a question, in NG+, you can't change backstory nor traits you selected during the first run?
If fact, the quest progressed normally.

I really want to change, so if you can't, I'll restart a new character next time. NG+ will be for my third playthrough
If fact, the quest progressed normally.
In the journal, the "Talk to Vladimir" box was automatically checked, even if I didn't talk to him
Ok, shame but whatever. I'll restart a new character
I think I'm not that far. it was a "simple" abandoned mine.
Ok, nice.
Happens with any mission. If you're hunting for something and find the answers that follow the next question; you would skip that question entirely. Some missions line up different objectives at once and can change how it plays out entirely, with new dialog skill options based on what one or more other characters did or said and what you proceed to do or say.If fact, the quest progressed normally.

I lol'd when I read a review headline calling it a "cinematic masterwork" before the EA period started, chocking it up to reviewer exaggeration. It turns out it is. What an incredible story, even without all the detours and robust role playing elements that re-contextualize and expand upon it. It's a legit space opera.
I actually spoiled myself on that already. I had heard rumblings about it and wanted to get an idea of what this whole "drastic changes" looked like. I don't know the details of the story leading up to NG+, who is who, etc, but I'm aware of the player's new role and a few ways things can shake out. Sounds wild, but I really wanna explore more. Is it worth it?
I have a question for you @GrimReaper801, because I'm pretty sure you have the answer, since you're way more advanced/aware about outpost things than me
Currently, I seek interesting spots to build my farms for which all the production will transfered in a "central outpost". Am I right to seek the ressource I want (or better, two at once), but most importantly, with Helium 3 available?
I believe for "inter-system" transfert, you need fuel, which is Helium 3, but maybe you don't need Helium 3 for each.
Ok, nice, thanks
