After 23 years, Starfield’s ancestor Noctis is still a vision of the future. Our Sunday read:
Over the decades I've been playing video games, I've flown spaceships made of futuristic alloys and bubbles of energy, and I've flown spaceships hammered together from wooden planks, chunky metal bolts and flapping sailcloth. I've flown ships that extrapolate believably from the design of the International Space Station, and I've flown ships that are basically steam trains with an attitude problem. But not till, somehow, have I flown a spaceship made of glass.
This interface proves very unwieldy, though there are a few keyboard shortcuts to ease the pain. You select options by holding right-mouse to root your character, then looking at the text and double-clicking, and the window is too wide to read in its entirety without reducing the options to a pixelated scrawl. So you must start at one end, move, right-click, and move again.
All this, and I'm still getting to the business of landing on planets. Once you've aimed the Stardrifter's autopilot at a world, the forward window display gives you a bit of intel about its surface: creased or cratered, liquid or frozen, atmosphere or no atmosphere. Having moved into orbit, you select a landing site from a pixel map on the wall to the right, and are automatically transported to solid ground.
