Ok wtf.
Been playing the game for just under a week now; still in my first star system and exploring planet 3 of 4.
Very happy with my findings; its a low sentinal, very cold barren place with no wildlife but tons and tons of giant gold formations - happy grinding!
So I'm flying around quite happy and spot a beacon; land, explore and go to get back into my ship and launch...nope...try again...UNEVEN TERRAIN...the ship eventually takes off but i suddenly flip onto my back and the shields start failing, critical damage, explode - i die.
Respawn next to it, try again...nope, ship flips onto its back and refuses to move...so now i have a critically damaged ship - i fix the launch engines but pulse engines need zinc. Of which I have zero of in my stores.
So off i trek around the planet, mining gold for my reserves - hoping to find some zinc plants or at the very best a shelter with access to the trading network to buy some zinc to replace my pulse engine.
2 hours later...still nothing (lots of gold)...i'm getting really annoyed now - there is NO ZINC anywhere on this planet so i seem doomed to be stranded here
Where are the Galactic Trading Computers generally located? I've found the beacon and manufacturing facility but they didnt have one.
Am I doomed? All because my starship decided to flip onto its back "glitch".
PS: love this game but i really want to get back into space and continue my journey.
