Occupied Escape Pod

Thank you for sharing this!!

You are very welcome!!

I'll see your one and raise you twelve!

Eject the cargo close to a black hole or neutron Star.

PS.
There's no such thing as "Surface Mining" on Planets.
What we have is part of the Looting & Crafting System - there's no Mining Missions onto Planets and there's no means to go Commercial Mining (i.e. Gold, Silver etc.) on Planets.

Aye, I sure miss "Frontier: Elite II". Maybe someday we'll have that option if/when landing on planets with an atmosphere are possible...

To me surface mining is gathering raw materials on planets. Are you (FalconFly) the one that decided on your own that gathering raw materials on planets is not surface mining?

I've been trying to say this for a while, seems like a lot of people don't see that surface mining is already in the game (as shooting rocks in the SRV) and that "volcanics!!!!!!" Have also been fully implemented, as little holes that spurt particle effects out.

I reckon those folks waiting for deployable drills and huge volcanoes might have a long wait on their hands...

That will be coming with Space legs, base building and atmospheric landings.

... and cockpit cats...

I would like to see a cockpit Cutter Hologram like the Python one.

Where is the nearest to the bubble black hole?

Possibly the one at Maia.

I collected a few escape pods the other day while out exploring. Actually for the sake of immersion, since we don't get much from it.
But wouldn't it be cool if there were people attached to these pods? Like, when handing them in, someone would contact us and thank us, or offer a follow-up job, or reward us with some more credits, or a lot more credits if the person is filthy rich. Or maybe they need a job now that their ship is destroyed and offer their crew services for a good price. I'd love that. There would be something attached to these pods which would imply that there is actually a person in there.

This game has a catalog of wasted opportunity.

I think I got around 30k CRs for the last Occupied Escape Pod I turned in. If it was an NPC Pirate in the pod I might have destroyed it instead.

 

[Ragamuffin1979]

What do you call shooting rocks and collecting raw materials?

Back in the early day, a lot of people would refer to it as surface prospecting.

 

[Enderby]

Should be able to blast the pods open and watch as the wretch within sprawls to the ground, shrivelled, gasping and dying

 

[Enderby]

Yes!
That would be lovely.

I found 6 occupied escape pods from one crash site on Wolfsegen Planet 1. I posted the video @ top of post.

I wish the reward for was higher so the incentive would be greater to pick them up.

I'm doing my first attempts at combat against Skimmers & Stingers where I'm finding up to 6 Occupied Escape Pods in the Trespass Zones.

 

[Noob1328]

I had my first experience with combat against Skimmers and survived and collected a few Occupied Escape Pods. It is a pain to have to call down the ship after only 2 units.

 

[rgiles1818]

Sometimes I feel bad about not picking up the Occupied Escape Pods but it takes time to transfer them from the SRV to the ship and the interdictions increase while transporting them to a station.
