BREAKING NEWS: GNOSIS STRANDED, GALNET NEWS!

[Jmanis]

Hope so. C&P is important. Did the thargoid ask to be shot? Is it consensual?

I hope people have fun. Regardless of what frontier tried to do.

Yup.. If you get destroyed with fines, you'll respawn at the nearest detention center (The Quarry, California Sector CQ-Y C5). Boo :/

You can't pay normal fines upon rebuy under the new C&P? (Honest question)

Yes, but if you respawn would somewhere where you have outstanding fines/bounties, you will instead respawn at a detention center (and need to pay the fine off on respawn)

 

[Quester91]

Problem though: If you get killed, will you respawn at a detention center?

Yes, 1,5k ly away from the Gnosis.

 

[ChiefBootKnocka]

Called it.

Except for this part: "the ship gets launched into some random part of the galaxy" - at least that would've been more interesting than it going nowhere (12.5 ly). Massive Frontier FAIL.

WARNING

Do not die while having fines for firing in the no-fire zone of the Gnosis. If you die while protecting the ship from Thargoids, you'll get send 1178LY away to the California Sector Detention Facility.

I just found this out the hard way.

It's a huge design oversight, I'm sure players will have tons of fun doing their 50 jumps in ther combat ship back to the Gnosis.

TBH, I think what you're seeing live is not a "design oversight" but a playtest of real-time attacks. And it looks awesome I think FDev just rolled along with this and are tweaking some knobs furiously atm ;-) [or making tickets to deploy in Q4] ;-)

EDIT: Not design oversight in a sense that the current case was not intended to be brought up just yet, IMHO.

Thank you for your sacrifice in doing the science, commander. Enjoy the flight back.

Lol. It was always going to be combat. Jump into the heart of Thargoid territory what did you expect? Not the obvious it seems.

This was never stated as thargoid territory, heart or otherwise. It was sold as, come explore previously permit locked space, an exploration mission. The most mention of thargoid was that hydras were sighted in the area

Canonn is a exploration and research group not a tip of the spear assault force.

I brought an exploration ship and equipment because we were told this was an exploration mission!!

 

[Garand1987]

Did the gnosis get inside the cone sector then? Last i heard it never made it.

Maybe a better plan would have had it make the jump, then get attacked while there, in the locked off sector itself? That way both the pew pew folks and explorers aboard the ship could have spent their day doing what they want - some pew pewing to save the ship, some making a run for it and off exploring the sector and reporting their findings - like the alien bases where the goids are spawning from (a bit of fiction, but you get the idea). Then both explorers and combat pilots could work together in nullifying the threat.

The current 'event' has forced everyone down one avenue... pew pew. It looks cool. but could have been so much more embracing of other playstyles.

This is my thoughts and why I’m kinda kissed about it. I’m in an exploration kitted AspX, I launch and it’ll be a rebuy. They should have made the jump, get attacked (which I think we kind of expected, but also expected to at least make the dang jump) then the pew pew crowd would have a thargs to shoot and explorers to escort back to the ship when need be, and explorers could find out what’s up and gather materials for a fix durning the month long stay in the cone sector. How they’ve gone about it is bad imo, yes I agree live attack on a station is really cool and a welcome change to goid attacks, but an exploration ship event that gets rid of the exploration aspect in favor of combat is a very bad choice I think.

 

[ExoForce]

LOL. I am having a tea in the middle of them. Buged as hell, You can drive around, scan, talk..

Only Scouts are tickeling me.

clouds of Thargons just circling around, not attacking

Interesting theory..

You are saying Fdev is on the buttons doing realtime decisions and button presses while they ROFL...

 

[Bigmaec]

But what if you die?

Ouch, I stand corrected then.

They are now. Xeno assault force ship Gnosis standing by.

I'm dying...

 

[Bryan K]

I think at this point the game bugs outnumber the Thargoids. Some people see Hydras, some people see nothing at all, I just keep getting Scouts, and the ATC still doesn’t have a clue. Is it an attack or isn’t it?

 

[lovely lovely]

File bug reports for fines and being taken back to detention centre......this is daft considering you're defending the ship!!!!

FDev need to change the logic - no fines issued when attacking goids no matter where you are.

 

[pork-chop-express]

OK I AM CONFUSED
how come I am sitting here awaiting the server upgrade and I am curently docked on the Gnosis
Are the steam updates lagging or something as I am totally missing the action W.T.H

They sold it. You bought it. I brought guns.

 

[stormyuk]

I'm dying...

I did LOL, sorry guys. We appreciate your sacrifice.

 

[DeLorean]

Yep. I came back after a break because this looked like a fun thing to be involved in. I encouraged mates on other platforms to make the trip.

I'm embarrassed.

I can only apologise to peeps I encouraged to make the trip.

Don't die before paying your fine. It's a 1200 LY walk back, apparently.

Not at all. Fire discharge is fined no matter do you hit anything or not. You really can't say "but I shoot at this Thargoids sir", nor it can turned off because of griefers.

Just get out of fire zone and then approach them.
