I thought it meant they're above or below you. Guess I'm dumb. :x
How often do you come across real players?

I thought triangle just meant hardpoints out and rectangle for hardpoints retracted.
Ah ninjas!
No. The way to tell if something is above or below you is by the line that protrudes from the target on your radar. Can't remember which way it is without looking. I think if the line comes down from the icon the target is above you. If it goes up from the icon it's ... hmmm, not sure I got that right. But the line indicates whether the target is above or below you.
Some people have weaps to deploy on fire button. So hitting any scanner makes a triangle
Be careful scanning in a station can warrant a lethal response. I somehow used the data link scanner at Millerport and the station gave me like a minute to leave before they vaporize me. lol
Never!!!
Don't trust you shifty eyed space bandits.

That's a good mentality.
O wow, really? I've been trying to find a use for that weird new scanner that comes with all ships. I've no idea what it is or does.
It does nothing but get you killed.
in SC it means a FSD Interdictor, which is the thing to be careful of, or system scanners and they have the option to deploy weapons on firing.
If you disable this, so have to manually deploy/retract weapons, you dont show as a triangle from scanners.
As for topic, ditto others: CGs, starter systems, engineers, areas of interest. Also as a Fuel Rat I see players every fuelling case
and the occasional hollow just jumping between cases.I rarely have time to converse when jumping, so sometimes it's only later I'll see that someone has hailed me (sorry), but always try to message back at stations etc.

Good, so yo don't have to wait in a queue.
When I first started I could go online at all sorts of time, but now I can only go on late a night and I am In New Zealand (first of the sun), so most of you guys are either at work, college etc. or tucked up in your snug beds when I'm flying around. So I used to regularly get lots of hits, but now I maybe come across one player every couple of nights, and I usually don't even seem them, I just notice them on my comms panel at some point.
Doesn't bother me, I don't see this game as a player interactive game at all - its definitely a PVE game at heart.
This game does instance you with people in your region. I have yet to see British people or you guys from down in that corner of the planet. So you being on an island hurts your chances of seeing a lot of people.
So far I've only played in the Mobius PvE PS4 private group, but I've added every person in that group who has put their name up in the forum so that I can see everyone's location. 90% of the time people are playing in the general area of the latest CG.
Not a single one *laughs in solo*
So far I've only spotted one New Zealander out of the regular cmdrs (with easy to remember names) that Ive seen about.
