Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

Nice video and you can see potential culprits for the traffic jam on the radar.

Apparently the presence of commanders at a station causes NPCs to spawn, if there are multiple commanders arriving and departing then more NPCs show up but if one or more commander hangs around in the instance not all the NPCs leave so over time things get more and more crowded.
On my old computer it would be so busy at times that my frame rate would plummet into the low teens or worse

Yeah, the radar tells more than the eye can see...
The situation was even worse this time than when I first arrived there in the Apex shuttle...

Looks good here, keep practicing, try locking on to the out-bound ships to gauge their distance.

To be honest, I didn't see the T-9 parking there in front of the slot until the point right before the NV turns on...
And on the way back in, I intended to dive under the ship and make my way to my pad, but my thumb hadn't read the memo.

I often ponder why outposts have the audacity to call themselves things like "city". Compensating for something?

Probably means they have a cathedral.

Looks like someone intended to hide under there to give you a hard time. But it went terribly wrong.

Or 'Ring'...

Well, mine won't be in 4k anytime soon.

I fell asleep during the upload...
But now it's done. I hope.
Let's see if this worked:

Well that's definitely uploaded, checked, processed and live now :]

...and yes, that is odd NPC behaviour - i've seen them block entrances enough times on the inside, but that barricade in formation outside?

...one's tempted to think they have become heuristic and are learning from non-NPC's in CG's now? ;]

Whatever that is, it only has two limbs, so we can rule out thargoid origin? ;]

 

[0threeleven]

it only has two limbs

And Brain Trees too, right?

BTW, that 12 days of Christmas video was hilarious!

I was just out collecting Guardian materials from Synuefe NL-N C23-4 B 3 when some total cad started attacking my ship while it was on the ground and I was in my SRV. I just about managed to escape. Some people have no sense of decency, I guess.

Not sure that is right do non-NPCs know how to queue?

Ganker's are like gravity.......

Honestly? No, due to lack of information. STC lacks a little in that regard.

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

Not entirely. They are far less attractive.

They are more like horseflies.

 

[CMDR Timber McWolf]

I'm going to head out and deliver Harksen's gifts. In a Sidey.

Normally it’s more around the core systems that you have to watch out for these predatory morons in open play - Guardian sites are are relatively far out, but with more people collecting materials there, they’ve inevitably become targets too…? No shame in playing solo or private group then… :]
