Outpost & station in the same instance?

[777Driver]

Been playing this game on PC since early Beta, have never seen an outpost and a station in the same instance until today.

Am in PARECO system, playing on the Xbox one, smuggling some stuff into Neville ring. I also have Asire dock (an outpost) 200km away from me. Is this part of the new update?

Can upload a screenie if needed.

Cheers

Interesting. Does the system map show them as potentially that close together; allowing for orbits?

 

[Flimley]

What do you mean ? One is next to the other ?
everybody likes screenies

I'll upload some pics. Am enroute from the Station to the outpost, 6 mins left in a Cobra, 113km to go. Am starting to think the outpost won't actually be there when I arrive.

@Flimley - No, I dropped out early to the starport (40km) so I could configure for a stealth run into the station, that's when i noticed the outpost 200km away from me.

edit -Am now 50km from the outpost and can see it..

Could the planets they are orbiting in the system close enough for them to cross over into the same instance?

Since they usually load in at 1000 km, ie you can close from 999km at sub-light and the station or outpost will be there, it will be interesting to see the outcome here

Ok I can confirm 100% the outpost and station are both in the same instance. I'm in a hotel on this crappy xbox, is there any way to upload a video directly from the xbox? I took some pics on my phone and have emailed them to myself for upload.

Dude, I've had this xbox for a week! I have no frikin idea what I'm doing. I'm a PC guy.. can someone talk me through uploading a small clip?

Am uploading some photo's from my phone now.

This pic is when I arrived at the station, you can see the outpost targeted, roughy 260km away

This is at the outpost after the 7 minute flight - Starport is targeted 230km away

Very cool. Would be interested to see if it's still there and you can fly between them without going into super cruise.
Great find...

Wonder if you can get them to war with each other by getting the cops from one station into the no fire zone of the other

 

[Voxoid]

It's targeted in the same space, so I guess it should be reachable, it'll just take a little while to get there.
It'd be really cool if this wasn't a bug maybe you could trade commodities between them if they get close enough lol

Hey Ben, yes I can fly back and forth between them. Can someone post a pic of the system map for PARECO. It shows no planets when I look

Edit - this seems like a bug, 6 stations in the system, all showing the same distance from the main star :/

Cheers

Crazy. I've just brought up the Pareco system map and.... no planets whatsoever. Just the star and six stations and outposts showing, all 6,971.74LS from arrival point.

 

[furrycat]

Pareco is only 70Ly from me. Going to check it out now.

 

[ozrix84]

Aren't the stations in motion? Maybe there's a point in time where they'd get even closer to each other

It shows that for me too. All stations and outposts but nothing else except the star. One of the stations says Agricultural economy so there must be an earthlike there yes?

That's so cool having both in the same instance though! It's one of my top things I would like to see in the game, is more structures in space near each other. Would also be so cool if NPCs flew back and forth between them. Giant billboards. Capital ships in "harbour"!! ::collapses::

Might see you there.

Now, what would be interesting if both had commodoties and one is a High-tech and the other has slaves. How to make big credits without even going into SC

 

[tetra]

Very interesting, might go check it out on PC and see if it's the same deal. Just has a look in the system map for that system and every station is an identical distance from the star.

Might not be a bug. It could be a few doubles six dice rolls have made this happen. If it's on pc ad well I can see a lot of fun to be had there. Station vs station player vs player and all sorts of goings on
