No New "Bubble" Please

Preferring something else, something new, something different, I can only hope that some of these purported hopes of others aren't realized.

If this is the real goal of these CGs, they should have called them InstaBubble 2.0 Mk. X or something so I knew they weren't intended for me to participate in. [blah]

Fortunately, I don't base my opinions of things on what other people tell me I should and you don't speak on behalf of everyone else.

Who is being narrow minded, I wonder?:rolleyes:
 
I am having some doubts too, both lore and gameplay-wise, but I am heading there anyway; albeit with my pure explo Asp... I was already far away from the bubble when Jacques has been found (so, no CG for me this time). I am interested to see what will FDEV make of it.
 
Might just be arguing semantics, but I'd rather not have the same old just at a remote location out near the galactic core. I think it's an important distraction though as it's related to how people view it and the meaning, lore, and appeal behind it.

A group of exploration and research base stations that end up being self sufficient is near the extent I would personally care for and find compelling and meaningful. I'm thinking something along the lines of the camps and research stations setup in Antarctica.

Expansion into a remote location just for the kicks of it isn't appealing to me at all. It seems fairly artificial, contrived, and frankly rather narrow minded.

On the other hand, something that might make more sense given the circumstances... How much thought was really given to evacuating Jaques Station? Granted, this is somewhat of a rhetorical question. But, should it be?

We'll see how this all plays out, of course. I'm just hoping for perhaps a bit more substance and a bit less pageantry.

Your thoughts?

...

PS: Still on my way with 216t. Hope to make it within the week.

Let us play the way we want.
At last we have interesting gameplay : colonization of space. Far way more interesting than powerplay, fed vs empire cg war to make us wait until thargoids.

This new bubble is something so deep !

Moreover if you wanna modify your ship you still have to go to the main bubble.

But from my opinion it is quite a shame to post such a topic while you actually participate to the CG. No very consistent in your toughs.

Where would you get the idea that I speak for everyone els?. The whole point of my response was to highlight that you can't possibly fathom the width of reason, motives, views and desires nor the backgrounds of the players acting on such because of the diversity of it all. To call it narrow minded and contrived is entirely innacurate because no one can say what 'everyone' is doing it for.

I also don't know where the insta-bubble idea is coming from. I've heard this before and never from any of the supporters of the new bubble. I expect and hope for a long, slow burn on this project. Something I can work on for a very long time.
 
I generally agree. It's not overly logical to heavily populate an area so far away from everything else without valid reasons. Jaques getting "lost" doesn't really strike me as a good one. Doesn't mean we can't see small expansion there over time. Maybe factions don't get along or something.

I would like to see more land settlements (small ones mainly) and smaller outposts around about. Like you say, research stations, or perhaps mining hubs.

Will be interesting to see what happens.
 
I suspect the new "bubble" is an integral part of the Thargoid story, when the manure hits the fan people will be fleeing the bubble for safety, I expect convoys of refugees escorted by multi-player manned ships carrying fighters. The lack of point here is that without knowing what FDev has planned for the future there's nothing to really discuss.

I really expect jacques station wasn't supposed to be found so soon, and so long before the rest of the Thargoid story, but players being players FDev have to deal with it. Your not liking it isn't really an issue, you don't have to take part.

Could be something like that yes. Bubble 2.0 as a redundancy or "throw away", ready to be devastated by those Thargoid blokes, a 24/7 zone for the combatants, while everybody else can just go about their business in bubble 1.0.
I doubt FD will force players out of their comfort zone by wrecking the original bubble.

A new bubble that WE build by ourselves would be great. If we actually get to do that instead of being lead down the walled garden path of community goals, that is. Give us the tools to build and colonise systems as we see fit and make it very, very hard to get a new station up. And then get out of the way and see what we create.

And no cookie cutter cardboard cutout "powers". We'll do that.
 
The more i read the more confused i become so let me get this straight, having other areas of human expansion (Bubbles) might effect your available exploration territory at some point, i think your in bubble and do not properly comprehend how big the galaxy is.

In 2 years with thousands of explorers less than 1% of the galaxy has been explored so your strange fear is unfounded and as i said and i was not joking i find your thread comical.

Set out on your exploration today until the end of your natural life and you will not run out of planets to explore. I personally hope one day there will be hundreds of bubbles through the galaxy and if it were even possible to run out of space Fdev can release the Andromeda expansion pack with 650 Billion new stars, but that would not be required for another 50 years.

Open your mind.
 
If you don't want a new bubble, just don't go there. I support more bubbles, cause the current bubble is small compared to the whole galaxy.
 
I guess, new bubble near core can dumb down exploration for some hardcore explorers, since now you do not need to fly all the way back to old bubble..

It's an idea. It doesn't exist yet. I'm taking part because I have a different vision and hope for the possibilities. [up]

Thanks for providing some constructive feedback, and no, you aren't the only person who has.

Sort of like a rag-tag fugitive fleet, on a lonely quest?
 
What new bubble are you talking about ? It's just one station. From that to a bubble (even to a multi station system/planetary bases system) it's a very long way.

To me, affecting exploration territory had nothing to do with the OP. Perhaps I misunderstood. I took it as wanting something other than the "usual" at a different location. OP is hoping for something different. Not just a collection of inhabited systems that are out there because... reasons. But to actually have a real purpose for those populations.

I think it would be a shame just to have another huge collection of inhabited systems in another spot. I'd rather see small groups scattered all around. It could make for interesting trading runs between them.
 
I agree eith OP.

Although I dont expect many griefer types yo make their way that far I think it would be good if high end weapons and ammo restocking was controlled in someway.

Not really what I was trying to address, but now that you mention it, I do think it has the potential of somewhat diminishing the achievements of future generations of explorers.

On the other hand, it is an evolving and dynamic game, so we can't expect it to stay static and I very much hope there will be new and even more immersive and compelling exploration game dynamics and achievements to be had.

I an really not sure i understand what your getting at so sorry if i assumed the wrong points.

The one thing the universe offers more than anything else is unlimited expansion possibilities and i can think of no positives in limiting that in any way.

I'll step out of this one and leave it to you philosophical types to debate.

Fly safe commanders.
