The Station of CERTAIN Death.

[nemolomen]

I could be wrong but I think there are escape pods down in the concourse if you disembark. You can also escape by getting sent to a detention center. I think I accidentally rammed an npc to death so when I died that’s what happened to me.

When I was there on Saturday, I noticed the NPC's spinning around the inside of the station very fast (by appearance to my relative view). I clipped one on my way to the mail slot and got a "reckless" warning.

On my first attempt to get out of the mail slot, I was temporarily stuck in the toast rack for a few seconds, then suddenly transported inside the station up against the front wall.

And then the station was yelling at me for being inside and not having requested clearance first. Uh oh!

So I tried again, immediately, and this time made it out, the star was spinning around me for a few seconds and then I died.

After I died, I was sent to the detention center...and then I went back again...

Sounds like there will be extended server maintenance. That probably will fix this.
Wonder if fdev would be willing to put this "station malfunction" in lore as a tourist beacon. It would be rather silly.

A genuine laugh-out loud moment over having previously read this, and seeing today's Galnet post

"Brewer Corporation has received numerous requests for support from the station’s residents"

Residents? How did they get in?

Please help, we are being crushed, cooked and are really dizzy.

They are in the escape pods the construction ship builds into the station, and released at various points during the completion process.

No, he built it because he wanted to boost his FSD when leaving his station.

It'll certainly boost the ship when leaving. Just maybe not of the FSD variety. xD

I love how eccentric the game's physics can get when edge case situations like this arise. I hope Frontier take the opportunity to keep some of the unusual nature of the station intact (and keep it close enough so that FSD boosting is an option).

It would be a shame (even if perhaps convenient) if the station ended up the same as every other station and didn't have at least some quirks to it.

I can see the next CG: Brewer requests sick bags and epilepsy medication

I'd charge for that experience...it's like an Alton Towers ride on steroids. Come and ride "The orbital". Looks like a fun ride!

I see Planet Coaster cross franchise synergy.

Haven't seen it posted anywhere here, maybe the fellow doesn't use the forums, but figured it should be in here for posterity's sake before the big "fix" comes in, whatever it may be.

So we have a month of two to utterly annihilate Brewer Corp before they can attack the station. Can't believe these residents had the audacity to complain about the best station in the galaxy, they really need to grow a spine, ideally several reinforced ones.

I have encountered this myself. I docked at the outpost station that is not spinning wildly. Hopped out and halfway to the concourse the other station must have swooped by and grabbed me in its area of influence. The outpost is gone and I am floating in space with the other station in view (circled in red).

Preferably with quality life insurance, and their last wishes written down ahead of time and preserved somewhere outside of that station (could they even get anything other than a totally garbled transmission out with a neutron star that close by?). That is, if they didn’t also bring their entire family onboard before the “unfortunate” situation began…

Funniest thing about that for me is the Unsafe Temperature warning ... dude is adrift in the cold hard vacuum of space so, duh!

 

[Esvandiary]

Even though they inevitably will, part of me hopes they don't (completely) fix this.

Dahan Gateway walked so Lantern Light could fly!

I noticed that there's now an outpost even closer to the neutron star. And it, too, is orbiting it really fast.

If physics has anything to say about the matter (not remotely guaranteed in ED!), it should be faster
