Done with the Odyssey ending. It's been almost a year since I played vanilla but it was surprisingly not bad at all. It's just a +2 range buff and +1 damage, but charge rifle actually feels good to use now. It's nice fighting in orbit because there's no weather, too. I can't count how many times I got fucked by rain or fog on the surface.
The gravship is pretty fun, but I don't think I'll use it on a non-gravship scenario. I don't really fly around unless I'm forced to, so I probably won't go anywhere if I don't get chased by mechanoids or need to get gravcores quickly. I wanted to make a battleship with tons of turrets, but I got sick of gathering resources and planning the limited substructures so I didn't really bother expanding my ship much past the third upgrade or so.
Exploring ruins, warehouses and other new areas are fun, but the rewards feel a bit underwhelming. It's great when a unique weapon, sentient catalyst and rare stuff like that pops up, but it's just awful when there's only a few reinforced barrels or raw hops. Cyclops and wasp traps are also fucking ass and I hate them.
The ending wasn't too difficult, I didn't really like running around the entire map to find the things I need, but planning on when and how to conquer the area quickly while managing my limited resources on the ship was pretty thrilling. I landed on the hive on a whim just to see how hard I get destroyed, but I managed to finish it by just ignoring the final defense response and going straight for the core. Shoutouts to my man Pansy who kept wooing Rina every single day, two to four times a day, even when she had a husband, and finally getting her after her husband divorced her for being foulmouthed.
I can finally go back to my comfy modded Rimworld now.
