Hooray for all launchers.
And many special thanks to Steam/Valve for starting this wonderful idea.

I've managed to get back in to the game.

Come on, Lucas. Let's hide in here, you'll love it.

 

 "And I thought they smelled bad ... on the outside." 

Star Wars vibes

 Star Wars vibes? Pfft.
Han Solo could never look this intimidating in a sari and a graviplas helmet.

 

Cowboy Sam knows when to turn on the style.
 

We did a quick change and I wore it instead for a while to help my persuasion stats.
The sari, not the helmet.
And then we all went off for some floaty shooting in the dark!

It was creepy and rather difficult but after a couple of deaths I realised that although we were supposed to be floating and were supposed to be shooting we weren't actually supposed to be in the dark.
The ambient lighting had glitched out on the space station but don't worry, a quick reload remedied that.

And then we were doing some floaty shooting in a visible environment.
It was good fun too!
But you have to make sure you've got the right weapon in zero-G fights. That shotgun I've been using gave me such a recoil it was like I was trying to "run" away after every shot.
Bang!
Fly back towards the baddie.
Bang!
Fly back towards the baddie.
Etc.

And my efforts to swing my axe were rather comical.
I think it may be possible but definitely not in a sneaky way.

Why were you firing away from the baddie?

I was firing at the baddie but the recoil kept throwing me away.
That Isaac Newton chap was right. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When you're floating around with no gravity you just can't stop yourself and if you're foolish enough to be using a big shotgun then the kickback is ...erm.. substantial.

I switched to a smaller pistol and that was more useful.

I got some great loot from that mission too including a Legendary rifle that does twice as much damage as my other weapons and has a big scope.
But now I have to learn about how ship registration works and how to manage multiple cargo holds.

Oh, so it was AFTER the recoil you flew back towards the baddie... I thought the recoil made you fly towards the baddie which would have meant you kept firing in the wrong direction
