USS - No more weddings

Hotsz · Dec 22, 2014

Can we tone down the frequency of wedding and funeral barge events please, I think i've attended more in game than in real life !

What are the point of these USS's? They're not useful for anything. They're worse than empty space since they just slow your jump drive down from engaging.

USS's have nothing to do with the timing of your jump drive. The only thing that slows them down are gravitational sources.

One day I will tool up and really wreck someone's wedding day. I wonder if the barge will drop the cake for me.

I came across a funeral barge and the type 9 was wanted. It was glorious. All the ships ganged up against me, but I was able to blow up that damn funeral barge before I had to bail out.

You never know who's on the guest list

Some of them are wanted, some of them are the targets of assassination missions, some are just there.

The game should not be tailoring every encounter in space to individual pilot desires and missions. Not every USS needs to have a purpose.

That's hilarious - a Wanted funeral barge. Perhaps he had killed a pilot (making him wanted) and to make amends, was transporting him to his grave!

I think USS should be brighter or fainter based on mass/transmission strength. So funerals and wedding would be very bright, and rare cargo canisters would be fainter, with other events somewhere in between.

This way, if you are looking for Military plans, you don't need to stop at a wedding.

Not advocating so, just have gotten them far too frequently and would like to see some more varied encounters.

hopefully in the future you can kidnap the bride and groom and sell them as slaves.

so is their super cruise broken?

Last wedding i gifted a cashbomb of 15k creds.
The bride went booom.

I really hope to see something besides weddings/funerals and policeships in U.S.S.es, it is monotone.

They dont even have tin cans tied to the back of them.

I do admit they seem to be rather overly common.

No, but if you shoot them they sometimes drop chaff.
