Begal Point Repair Facility?

idahosurge · Dec 21, 2016

Is there repair facilities at Beagle Point yet where you can get your ship repaired before heading back to the bubble?

Not yet...

If this is ever a real thing personally I would like it to be a very basic repair facility. Nothing can be repaired to 100% and some things cannot be repaired at all. Long repair times and very expensive. Think of the supply lines needed to keep such a facility in operation?

Just my thoughts. Not imposing my ideas on the game. If it is different I won't uninstall my client.

Nope, you've got to get there and back before you can access any services. Colonia might be a bit closer than the bubble...

The devs did hint at the possibility in the recent Q&A, I suspect Jaques is pretty cheesed off he never made it and if civilisation gets to...civilised around Colonia he may make another, this time successful, attempt. Good luck to him I say.

Personally, I'd rather see a base at the Southern edge of the galaxy, not at Beagle Point. I'd also rather Jaques stayed, and someone else brought a station there. But well, it's up to the devs.

Imo there should never be a possibility to repair in Beagle Point.

But, im guessing that at some point FDev implements a station there and ruins the excitment of traveling to Beagle..

I suppose it would be alright when people get to walk around...The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and all that...

I wouldn't mind if there was. It's the destination that matters most, not the trip home. And it's still a long trip.

BP should have something unique or non-procedural at least. Maybe Jaques when Colonia gets a new major station. Or maybe just a unique POI like a memorial or something.

If it really has to be there then (for me) it should be the space-port equivalent of a battered, leaky, unreliable tin shack crouching in the shadow of some alien mountain and staffed by crazed individuals who have never been to the Bubble.

Well it's probably likely they'll put something out there in the future. However I'm in agreement with Marx; keep it south of the abyss.

Jaques should be enough, it's just a hop away

(At least it'll be good until it descends into dysfunctional anarchy like all the other "outlier" systems.)

Jaques should be the only place other then the bubble that you can repair.

With just a little common Sense and you should be able to fly forever.

Very true. One of the poorly thought out processes in the game is the establishment of new systems, stations etc, having hit a few of the stations along the Colonia Connection I find it a little disturbing that a single CG managed to build a half dozen city sized outposts between Colonia and the Bubble, it's just unsettling. Expansion should be a long and difficult process starting with a bare base with maybe one or two landing pads at the most, and building major bases out in the black, unless it's a mobile station like Jaques of course, should be a difficult and dangerous affair!
