General Abandoned settlements scenarios

[CardioTherapy]

The new narrative and thargoid combat scenarios are quite nice and welcomed even though they don't really bring new gameplay. Now, in the systems that are controlled by thargoids we have a lot of abandoned settlements that offer an opportunity for a brave scavenger. I started looting them, paying attention to the incoming thargoids and I found it an interesting new gameplay scenario.
My suggestion is to add randomly npc scavengers roaming in the settlements for additional challenge. if you add on foot thargoids patrolling the empty settlements will be even greater and highly appreciated. This is just an excellent opportunity and gameplay loop for a brave and opportunistic scavenger.

Did you manage to land your ship? AND take off after recalling it, without the Thargoids taking out your vessel?

Ah I hadn't realised that places became abandoned but makes sense and will certainly help with gathering mats.

Yes. landing is easy. I immediately dismiss it. recalling it is the tricky part. you need wither to travel few km away or relog and recall immediately which works on relatively flat planets pretty well. BTW I am using cobra as it is small tough and fast.

What about deploying and srv? Bring a power cell to get the settlements reactor back on line

That is exactly what I do. Land. get out with srv. dismiss ship. start the power. scavenge everything I can. go far away with the srv and recall the ship.

I would be glad to have some scavingers and on foot thargoids roaming around for additional challange. Anyway, I am a proud scavinger using the war to get profit . we are always there...
