Played some this morning before work.
600i is BUGGY...beautiful, but OMG the bugs!. Lots of issues with it, but most of all, half of the controls don't work, are missing, or only work for certain angles. Smoke permeates the crew quarters and crew rest rooms are bugged. Captains quarters are nice, can't seem to activate the turrets. Not sure how scanning will work with remote scanning as I can't figure that our either. If you drop the rover bay, your entire ship pressure goes down by half. I have been unsuccessful in being able to call the regular elevator for entry into the ship. Bugs prevent a full evaluation, but it has a 145 max SCM speed. Unable to get to full AB speed due to other issue. Possibly need one other person onboard to do a full evaluation.
Hurricane - nice, but if you get in the turret, you may be stuck there. I have been unable to find an exit command with inner thought and H does not work, Unable to really test it.
Eclipse - sits nice, have not really used it or tested it though
Blade - not my style. I will let others give it a better review
Avenger - very nice interior. some clipping issues with the warlock and standing in the EMP generator. much easier to get around it.
Mining is kinda cool Use scanning (tab to toggle scan mode) to locate areas where ore is. once you find an area, look at the various rocks to see what has value. Some are mixed ores, some are one type of ore. use fracture mode on orange outlined rocks to break them down. Stay in the green banded area to get it to fracture cleanly. If you get into the red area (above the green area), it will blow up on you, possibly damaging or destroying your ship. I stay around 75m away from the rocks I am pulverising. Start with a LOW laser throttle so you don't overshoot too quickly.
Once you have fractured the orange rocks and you have purple rocks, switch to extraction move by clicking the RMB (button 2) shoot the purple rocks to extract the ore.
once you have a full load, fly to a place like Grim Hex or Port Olisar. In Port Olisar, the place you sell is on the wall just around the corner from the commodities kiosk. click sell to refinery. I only got about 327 UEC for 32 SCU of titanium ore.
Quantum travel is different. You align to the destination, press B to spool the drive and wait for everything to be calculated. Then press B again to enter quantum. A little more complex, but once you do it a few time, it's easier. Also, you can quantum to waypoints on the other side of a planet. Kinda cool.
Overall, it's what you expect, fairly nice, but a metric ton of bugs to chase.
