Ship docks, CQC structures and other new in-game assets

LOL - yeah, for those that missed it - while talking about the new scenarios and BGS changes coming in Q4 Adam said something along the lines of them adding hundreds (did I imagine that, did he actually say "hundreds"?) of new installations and megaships!

If he merely said "hundreds" you might be in with a chance - and that would still leave almost all systems without any.

The impression I got was it might be more like "tens of thousands" (to bring the bubble up to current Colonia standards) or "hundreds of thousands" (to provide several of these POIs in each system)

Yeah OK, in the recap thread it says a "vast" number ... jeez, the galaxy is gonna be like Edinburgh during the festival! So many bars, so little time!

We'll wait and see I guess but I'm half thinking my work here might be done.

There will always be those that are special in some way.
- Special event
- Especially good for materials
- Sight to behold
- Interesting story to be told
- etc.

I think your work needs doing, but the approach might need to change

Sadly i can' repeat reputation, but thanks for updating this list frequently! It's a great work!

So with the upcoming changes, is it still worth verifying some megaships that were supposed to have been added by CGs? There's supposed to be three in total across Munshin, HIP 16038, and BD-12 1172.

I've been too busy to play lately to look for these myself.

Well, I guess I'll continue to add things that are reported. I might even go check out those three myself as I find myself "between goals" at the moment.

Found an Outpost in a the rings around a secondary sun in HIP 100539.

Rho Platform is in the rings around HIP 100539 2, a Class Y dwarf.

Here is a link to my thread with some pictures.

Yup, cool place. The Knights of the Black found it a while back as it's on the edge of our space (soon to be in our space bwahaha).

I think it's alone in its own section in the first post.

Feel free to do some missions for our faction while you're there

Yup, it's a cool location but, as CrazyDiamond points out, I already have this catalogued in the OP. I believe someone said there were more of these in Colonia but outside of that it seems incredible that this location is unique within the bubble!

In Colonia system rings there's one dockable megaship (Coeus), one Orbis (Kinesi), two Outposts (Ratraii and Alberta) and one normal asteroid base (Luchtaine). Also an asteroid base in a belt cluster (Kinesi again).

It seems to be something they're doing a bit more of to add interest to newer systems, so there's probably some more out there in the bubble too.

Alec Turner · Nov 8, 2018

Errr, yeah ... these things are everywhere now (beta).

I'm not saying this thread is dead ... but I think it could well be somewhat surplus to requirements! [haha]

Alec Turner · Nov 13, 2018

Ahh hell - the completionist in me has got the better of me!

Visited the generation ship "Epimetheus" and added it to the list.

Behold, a new Aquarius Class Tanker megaship located near planet 7 in the Ondi system, property of the Octavian Vanguard minor faction:

Took the photo last night, forgot to get the ships full name, will check later and add to post.

Also several installations in the same system that are new since patch 2 agricultural, 1 industrial and a lab on planet , but seems they are everywhere now

Futile tho' it is for me to now try and keep up with the thousands of new installations and megaships that have been added that does look pretty darn cool so it's on the list! If you do manage to get the full ship name then let me know and I'll update the entry accordingly.

It is "OND-524 Aquarius-Class Tanker"

There's blinking thousands of new Mega Ships and Installations now, virtually every populated systems has one at least.

I think I'll stick to all the things that were found prior to this update so I can get that list completed, as for all the new stuff???

I'm not complaining, (well maybe slightly) there's lots to see and do now, maybe too much and nothing is no longer special. Ah well....

Yeah ... as I mentioned a while back, when "special" things are everywhere the need for a thread listing all the "special" things becomes somewhat redundant. Oh well, this was fun while it lasted. I might still try to catalogue a few especially notable ones (e.g. I need to go and photograph Lave Radio's Orange Sidewinder bar).
