Newcomer / Intro USSs Another pbcession.

[Vampyre111]

I love popping into USSs and finding a couple wanteds in there. I just wish there were more like that. Dropping in and finding harmless clean folk scampering around is such a let down.

What is the deal with Bridal/Funeral processions? I guess they are for pirating but I never do that. I just move on to the next bubble. I's like to see more options in there like people asking for an escort or maybe repairs or somefuel to get them to the next station. Many kinds of things coould happen in these bubbles that would enhance the game play.

More different things will be added over time as new game mechanics get added. The processions are far too common and yes they are for pirates. Sometimes you might find Ariel, The Mineral Magpie or similar which is an example of other mechanics but I will let you discover that for yourself

A good tip for USS hunting is to go into Supercruise and throttle back to zero. USS's will appear right next to you and you can just select and disengage instead of having to fly to them.

I've seen them pop up(USSs) while I'm sitting at a sun refueling. I never like to engage anything too close to a sUn. It cuts escape routes in half. No one wants to escape a bad encounter just to ram into the sun a second later.
