Save Obsidian Orbital - Humanity UNITE!

[The Chairmaker]

Maybe people should read the thread before posting so we don't have circular arguments here...

Obsidian Orbital was there before the Thargoids and doesn't have anything directly to do with a perceived or actual war against them.

In real space, if I remember correctly, the Pleiades is a cluster of many stars, a handful of which are easily viewable from Earth and the "nebula" "around" them is a bit of interstellar space dust between here and there.

Anyway, as you were.

Not quite true. Obsidian orbital was one of the designated Aegis stations. Just that not many people know that as it was buried in the Galnet news.
Repairing Obsidian orbital is also therefore helping AEGIS. Something for those suspicious of AEGIS to be aware of.

A galnet article. Read to the end, especially the last pharagraph. Basically FDs late implemention of the spacebugs and their ground sites does not simply mean they werent there, but rather has to be conceived as they werent discovered yet.

We didn't build a forward operating base there to be against the Thargoids as the Thargoids weren't even there yet when we built it. The narrative other people with other agendas want to push is irrelevant to that fact, in my opinion. That's their problem.

As mentioned in the latest newsletter...

Anyway most of you already know my views, if you don't I'm against further antagonising the Thargoids without good reason. If it was an effort to fix them and bring them home then maybe I'd support it. Anyways it seems a lot of you are pushing for war. If you really want to help rebuilding, you'd be better off helping repair The Oracle. If war is inevitable I'd rather be prepared and outfitting is expensive...

That has nothing to do with Obsidian Orbital, and no, many of us aren't. Sorry, you're in the wrong thread for that. Go peddle your personal agenda regarding your perception of others elsewhere.

That's way too meta for my tastes, but I guess if that's your thing, suit yourself. I helped build Obsidian Orbital in the first place. Sorry there weren't enough of us to get all of the services out there.

I certainly wasn't trying to "blame" anyone over what services there are or aren't, if that's what you read between the lines you read something that wasn't there.
You're right, in that i certainly would find that to be more interesting. I don't think in terms of "in character", humanity or lore here, or very often at all.
Since it's not going to happen, and that's fine, it'll remain dry theory.

Right, reporting for duty, via the space saloon (its friday). Could anyone point a probably failing a breathtest pilot towards lvl6 cargo bays anywhere in the pleiades please?

 

[ZAKALWEINC8876]

No One goes there Anymore!
It's too crowded

It sure aint on psn lol

You're actually expecting too much of some of the "people" (term used loosely) whose whole motivation for coming here is too complain and moan..... no matter what is actually the substance of the thread.

My RP prevents me from wanting to lift a finger to help a pirate's den, but good luck to everyone who gets Obsidian Orbital online.

Word Cmdr.

I would like to help out but I'm currently 10kLY's out from Colonia heading to Beagle.

Funny enough, I was heading in that direction myself too. [downcast] Maybe one of these years I'll make it out there.

I brought up the services as an example of player agency and consequences within the game universe, which was something you also seemed to be talking about. It was a bit of a tangent though, so sorry for any confusion. (I could use some more sleep.)

I would participate if it also brought about a regime change at Obsidian.

Not likely though to happen.

I believe the Pleiades are on the path to becoming established Thargoid territory.

Another series of attacks and some, if not all, of these damaged stations will cease to exist.

...

Isn't that something that can be changed through the BGS? I wouldn't mind a regime change there either. I didn't help build the place to be a pirate haven, just like I didn't help build it in Thargoid territory as a forward base against them.

The refugees pay better, sorry.

You're not interdependently wealthy yet? I seem to get credits thrown at me without even trying, and more than I have a use for at this point. To each their own though, I guess.

 

[CMDR Corlas]

"The Pleiades" is just an arbitrary grouping of stars based on our humanocentric concepts of distance and area. We have no reason to think that the Thargoids have the same concept of space. We have no reason to think the Thargoids even know what "The Pleiades" is. We have no reason to think that the Thargoid's consider the Pleiades to be their territory or, if they do, where they draw the edge of their territory. Finally, we have no reason to think that the Thargoids will stop at the Pleiades even if we were to give it to them.

In short, there's no evidence to suggest that leaving the Pleiades will end the Thargoid attacks. Better to fight them there than in Sol.

Both incorrect. The ~150ly radius bubble of Thargoid Sensors (Unknown Artefacts), was there before any human stations. It also seems to indicate a very clear "line in space" marking a specific territory.

Additionally, while we had not yet discovered barnacles or the alien sites, but that doesn't mean they were not already there.

There are still things I don't own, but I'm mulling over if I even need them, at this point, my ship collection is pretty healthy right now, apart from the big ships.

Even if I had no needs, I'd still value profit, I simply like money. I'm not a charity, you know.

So I just finished reading the ENTIRE thread and I need to ask you a favor...

PLEASE read the link in post 122 and stop saying OO was around before the Thargoids. Its ok that you love OO because you built the darn thing and I have no expectation of convincing you to continue your expedition and leave OO alone.

I'll be trying to bring as much cargo to the nearest black market and would love to see a change in story effected by the players (Its not too Meta for me) and its ok that we may or may not meet on the battlefield...... Just please get your facts straight and stop saying humans were in the nebula first.

(ignoring your future post about OO having nothing to do with the rest of the surrounding area just because you built it in some epic CG and not the others)
