I would like to join the Gnosis expedition but I'm kinda confused on how this will work,
I figure that I will have to store a ship on the Gnosis, but since you can only use 1 ship at a time, (I have 4 ships, 1 for each type of play), how do I leave a ship there and still be able to continue playing until the Gnosis leaves?
- do I suspend play until that date and join the ship just b4 it's leaving? or what? -
I don't see any other way,
That means I have to be online during the event or login after the event and use that ship I placed in the Gnosis ship bay.
I would like to join this event but can't see the 2 options being viable to my style of play.
BTW, where the hell is the Gnosis ATM? I thought it was parked in the Merope system but could not find it there.
I'm all for exploration and finding new places, but if the scenario is as I have described, I don't think it has been well thought out
The
Gnosis doesn't have a shipyard, so if you're there, you're there. And, unless you commit a crime and the mechanism actually works, once she jumps you'll be there for the duration.
You take your ship, and dock at the
Gnosis any time before the jump. Any ship that is on the
Gnosis when she makes a jump (i.e. during the server downtime Thursday mornings) will be transported with the
Gnosis to the new location.
Then you can use the
Gnosis as base for your operations out there (nothing else will be there).
You don't need to suspend playing - you can do everything you want, your ship just has to parked on the
Gnosis during the server downtime. If you miss the bus, then (for the next couple of weeks, at least), you can still hop over to the next stop yourself (it's only 500 ly further out).
If that doesn't fit your idea of playing ED, then you better don't come.
Currently (see the first post in this thread) she's at HD 51502. Personally, I'm back in the bubble at Fullerene C60 for the ongoing Buckyball race and will make a line for HD 51502 probably on Monday. We get the 3.3 update on Tuesday, and both game stability and server performance have been erratic after past updates, so it may not be a good idea to schedule that trip for Tuesday (downloading the update) or Wednesday (downloading the bugfixes

). And by Thursday evening, she'll be another 500 ly further out, sandwiched already between locked sectors.
