They are called "installations" - there are some very interesting ones and some that invoke a deadly response from naval forces if you approach too close.
 
thanks para handy.

i try an remember too steer away or keep clear :)

No need for that - you can have fun flying through some of them and some have interesting advertising etc. Some are used for missions against minor-factions I believe (I have not done any of those). Even the near-death experiences at some of the "listening stations" in the Pleiades were fun, as long as you have a high-wake plotted for escape. ;)
 
Yeah, they have a kind of shoot to kill policy if you get too close, but they're imperials, i dont know if the feds have something similar, although it wouldn't surprise me, but i never had much to do with feds.
 
I'm out in the Norma Arm, now. Here's my position in the galaxy :)

I've decided I'm definitely headed to the center. Sagittarius A*, here I come! Only 11,000 LY to go, more or less.

It might take a while, I'm not sure. Depends on what I run into on the way.

Now that I'm across Hawking's Gap, though, the star density is starting to pick up. I really like a sky full of stars, y'know? It'll only get denser from here, too.

You should buy a Cutter to commit suicide in to expunge your shameful record.






Or do I mean Sidewinder?
How do you spell AAARGHH. Was that you, Emperor Ming? :giggle:
No way i'm returning to bubbletown. It has taken me years to get this far, and i'm not leaving when it's all about to kick off here. No blinking of an eye for me.
Just my bad luck to get here around the time carriers were introduced,.Dame Fortune can seem a fickle minx at times,but she has been good to me in at least equal measure,so you'll hear no complaints from me.
Regards cutters, i've never really bothered. I'm lucky enough to have found 'my' ship in the game early on and we've been together ever since. I occasionaly slip on a different hull for variety, and to give the plant a rest and a service.I understand the best way to get a cutter is through the trading route but i chose exploration, 'cos it's what i do.
