Excuse me, sir, is this gonna be a stand up fight, or another bug hunt?

You secure that s*** Hudson!

Can't wait for the first anti-thargoid equipment but ... hmm ... what can I do with it? Can I escort trading / science ships and protect them against the goids ? Defend outposts, megaships, planetary installations etc... ?

I was expecting a reuse of game mechanics. Although I had hoped for new locations.

To be honest, that's what I'm expecting as there's only a couple of ways of doing combat locations with current mechanics.

• In empty space
Any area where you do combat and there is no risk of crashing into objects aside from other ships — These are areas like combat zones, aftermath of interdictions, low wake into signal sources, and yes this could also includes nav beacons.

• Extractions sites
There is a risk to crash into static object (asteroids), which can also be used as cover.

• On planet surfaces
Obvious risk of crashing into the ground.

• Around stations
Any area or point of interest in space that contains a structure.

SDC just killed one and appeared to net a 2M credit bounty for it....at least that's what I saw on the video.
