Hi all. Little on me. Played on and off for the first year (mainly because the game was so hard), but this is literary all i play now. Been at it for a couple of years. If i didn't rage quit and delete, I'd probably be triple elite. Did so twice. Don't plan to anyone.
On to my question. Second time to the colonia sector. Went before when it first opened. I reside there now. When will we get A rated ship modules and engineers this way? I can't do the trip back to the bubble. I've even thought about stopping playing for a while to let they area grow some more. Lack of decent outfitting is really turning a lot of people away from coming here. I might not had if i knew this first.
hi,
saw your comments and had to reply.
I too have my base at Colonia Dream. Came here when Jaques was the only thing here.. tried mining but got blown out of the water faster than it takes to spit. Went back to the bubble.
now I am back better prepared and a totally new vision for myself.
Your comments have gotten me to think how immersed you are in the game.. even tho you say you are triple elite 2X over. I think that is great and you should truly know the imlications of living in the bubble means.... close contact with players, plenty of planets with whatever you want just a few jumps away.etc. Engineers up to the gazaoo if you are willing to pay the price to see them. All of this is Walmart Mentality influence by Starbuck mentality. You get your cake, pie and latte all at one time AND get to it it fairly cheap.
Now go 21000 + light yers away and you have a new community that is only 1 step above being a wild west town. Commodities are scarce, parts are scarce, missions are scarce because there is nothing really setup to support that kind of society. Minor Factions are starting to setup shop and yet demand far exceeds supply . It takes a LONG time for supplies to get to Colonia and its neighbors. You are not able to get your pie,cake and latte all at one time fairly cheap... you might get a burger and fries at a very hefty price to cover the cost of the FOB. Ships? the cost to get ships to colonia is staggering and time consuming... We are lucky to get b rated equipment out here let alone the really expensive A rated stuff. There are a LOT of people out there with the pioneering spirit... lot at the population booms going on right now.
There is even a rare item at Jaques... pretty soon there will be others, mark my word. I am happy that there are no walmarts, starbucks, Sears, Pennys, Hudson bays out here... makes life interesting and you live by your wits with what you have , not what you can get. You volunteer the idea that you CAN'T make the trip back.... why not. You made the trip out... going back isn't that hard. I am currently headed back with a tired old python that has mede the trip out and now I am going back, exploring and mining the entire way at 12 ly a jump. Yup, 12 ly a jump.... that is a lot of jumps to go and when I get back.. I will purchase the modules I want. put them in storage and then pay the FOB to get them back home. just like the old mail catalogs used to do. But you sound too young to understand what a mailorder catalog really meant... order and then wait 6-8 weeks for delivery while hoping that you ordered correctly and don't have to send back and wait another 6-8 weeks to see if you did it correctly. No internet, no phone orders... just slow boat to china freight. So get off your latte butt,, get that pioneering spirit back in place.. brave the void and do the trip back and get those A rated items that you are bemoaning the lack of. Good luck
