Beached whales

Mass exodus due to impending doom. Hurricane Thargoid is bearing down and it's a category 5.

or

Leftover ships from the Rhea nerf.
 
It's been happening for quite a while, at least since the Thargoids were introduced and we were running "stuff" into Obsidian for the CG. There may be something special about that station that attracts them, but I haven't worked out what it might be.

Maybe they are carrying "groupies" who have come to hear the station announcer, Mr O Ant himself [big grin]
 
It's not just Belugas. There is a lot, I mean a lot, of NPC activity at Obsidian.
There's a lot of NPC activity everywhere. I had 7 consecutive ships come into the mail slot as I was trying to exit with my cutter. I kept dipping down to let them pass, then another, then another, ad nauseum. Then the station gives me a warning about loitering near the slot. Can't win for losing. Now I owe some money because I boosted out and banged one of the little fellows against the toaster rack.

I don't mind it, it adds excitement to being around the station, you have to watch out.

Stay under the speed limit and you can push them around as much as you want, as long as they don't die. Cruel, but effective.
 
This NPC choke at the mail slot just happened to me (fine incurred) and I barely missed a Vulture speeding out just days ago. They are also flying real close in the no-fire zone as well.

The NPC's are revolting!
 
same thing at ashby city yesterday, tons of belugas out and inside the station stuck

looks like there are many mating spots [big grin]
 
Along with other "research" vessels...

The mindless slaughter of whales for the dying Japanese whale meat market (has to be government subsidised to survive) should be no laughing matter, and yet I do chuckle at how the Japanese whalers think they're fooling anyone with those huge "research" labels painted in English on their ships.
 
The most I've seen at Obsidian is about 30 blips outside and 12 active pads inside. It caused my ps4 pro to freeze and I had to restart the game.
 
I just had to do a fast silent running into Obsidian with illegal goods of Thargoid Biological Materials ..... of course that took my shields off line and I forgot I had only 28% hull left .... and of course I met a Beluga coming through the slot ..... and :mad:
