Many players in the GMT+12 ish timezone?

Fendalton · Jun 4, 2015

I hear all these stories of being interdicted, having fights and what not, but when I play nothing ever seems to happen.

I'm in New Zealand, I play in open, trading around Lave and the odd RES site, and I've been interdicted only once by someone who said nothing.

Are the majority of players from the UK, which is 12h behind me, so when I play it's like 6-10am for you guys?

Would love to see more players on, I get my Steam Friends to get the game, but would like to run into Randoms more often.

I am in the UK, and I have never been interdicted by a human.

SirAdelaide · Jun 5, 2015

In Australia GMT +9.5.

I've seen some traders, shared a total of 3 lines of chat with a bounty hunter once, and was once hailed outside of Lave Station by someone who wanted everyone to hunt down a certain player.

I found there was only human interaction near rares systems. Everywhere else is empty. Never been interdicted by a human.

Perhaps it's just the areas of the Galaxy that you frequent that are sparsely populated?

WhosYourDaddyNow · Jun 5, 2015

I live in GMT+1 or +2 (depends if I'm at Uni or at home) and I have been interdicted by human players only twice and I have been playing quite a lot (I average about an hour a day since release).

There is an Elite NZ FB group. Has about 60 members, quite a lot of events organised for Friday nights.
Feel free to add me (same name in game).

GMT/Z -6 here, and many global activities drop off around 0001-0100 Z. Much of the UK and Euro playerbase have gone to bed (everybody further east is snoring). The US is active from 2200-0900 Z (five time zones). It really drops off after midnight Eastern Time (0500 Z, -5 Z).

There needs to be a Portuguese language pack, fast.

In Perth Au so GMT+8 here.

The majority of players would be US time zones with more GMT-3-6 and then a spike arounf GMT-GMT+3
(I think, could be wrong, would be interesting to know the distribution)

Feel free to look me up, same name in-game, Open.

In NZ as well, but rarely in populated space it seems. I see players when I visit the Founders World as well as the core systems around Lave. But yeah, not many people at that time.

Brisbane here, currently GMT+9

I only see the Americans most of the time, but they are playing yesterday and all their ships are upside down

PixelFerret · Jun 5, 2015

+10 (Melbourne) here,
Angeli Imperial started primarily as a ANZ group but has started branching out lately.
Plenty of activity near Wangal for us

Lord_Itchybum · Jun 5, 2015

Melbourne here. Not much happens. Only been interdicted once and had a couple of chats and shared some beer I was hauling. I do see other cmdrs but they take tend to fly wide of any other people and ignore chat.

That's a myth! But a great excuse for playing with the toilet.

Our space stations spin counter clockwise.

I'm in NZ, our life is a lonely one on the whole, but for best results play in mornings on the weekends. Also CG's are always active regardless of the time of day.

Kiwirat · Jun 5, 2015

Oddly enough I am from NZ. Dont play in open much, tend to play in a joint Au/NZ private group. Have been interdicted twice in open play by humans, both griefers who said nothing and just opened up on me while unwanted and carrying no cargo which tends to put you off open while trying to build some good credits.

Aussiedroid · Jun 5, 2015

AU timezone here. I havent played in Open for a little while, but I should go back. When I was playing in Open I rarely saw anyone too, think maybe 4-5 in a couple hundred hours of play. I have seen more in the Mobius group, where I have been logging in recently.

Kyudos · Jun 5, 2015

Also in NZ, play in open and have similar experience to the OP - where are all these griefers and pirates people whine about on these forums ?

Soon(TM) · Jun 5, 2015

UK here, been interdicted twice and blown up twice in Lave and Diso, those are your hot spot areas for PvP. Longest in game chat I have had has been:

Open chat:
Me: Long live the empire

Other player: Death to the infidels

Another different player: Lol...

End chat.

Back to loneliness....

Sydney, +10GMT here. It depends on the time of day for me, and whether I'm around a currently busy area, such as a CG nexus. If so, then yes, I see quite a few other players. I do tend to play very late night/early morning however, when it coincides with prime-time for playing in the UK. During the day on weekends it's quieter.
