Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[SCiARA]

Oh , You're an old timer. I fel slightly embarrassed calling you an old timer now.

ha, sall good I'm not easily offended!
when it comes to this game I'm both an old timer and a noob, had it on the xbox preview program and haven't played in years

 

[SCiARA]

There is a player group that sells stuff - have a look at East India Company, they should have some Soontil Relics you can trade for:

thanks for the info ill keep it in mind

 

[Phongsalt]

That was my thinking. I'm a total coward so I'm quite proficient in boosting away from a fight.

Running away from a fight you know you can't win is a valuable skill that is often under-rated. I'd be willing to bet that most commanders have been blown up at some point, simply from over-estimating their own abilities, or under-estimating the skills of their opponent.The BSR* manoeuvre is an important weapon in the armoury of most successful commanders.Of course, you can learn how to 'git gud' by repeatedly being blown up until you 'get it', if that is your preference , but prudence and a level head are a lot less expensive. and not nearly so frustrating, imo.

Is this a bug? I've found a painite hotspot but the orange blob isn't showing. In fact, none of the hotspots in the rings on this planet show as orange blobs...



I've tried logging, mode switching and dropping from then re-entering SC. I've also exited then re-entered the system.

I have seen this once. I think it is a bug, too.

 

[Codger]

well I'm currently stuck in Ngurii waiting on Soontill Relics for Elvira Martuuk
Cheranovsky City has nothing in its market

You're not holding some in your cargo hold, and then waiting for more, are you? That will not work. You gotta take what they have, carry them over to Elvira, then come back for more. Rare goods have a limit to how many you can have on you at once.

If you knew that, then ignore this message

 

[Northpin]

Um...

Dinosaurs in space. Is this on the Odyssey wish list or something?

Hmm... JWE: Dangerous?

naa I've got nothing in my hold, the place is in Infrastructure Failure

I literally have no idea why I got modded this time. Weirdos. I just clicked the 'understand' button so I could see what you guys were saying.

Yeah, I like a mixed approach. Sometimes I wanna just do a thing but most of the time I want other human players to attack me so I can test the ship and my flight skills. Mediocre as they are.

Poor old Empire. Loosing their war in Eurybia. The anarchists have the incentive package of course, so it was always going to go that way.
Some friendly types have now parked their carriers next to the main CZs, so the pressure to hike back to the station is only based on how much bounty you are happy to risk.

 

[KnezBP]

Poor old Empire. Loosing their war in Eurybia..

Wait. What? Not on my watch.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Is this an unusual setup? This system has a substellar Y dwarf - with rings - and an orbiting ringed waterworld...

If the Empire wanted to ensure victory they would have opted for a hauling CG they win most of those combat CGs are more for Federation types.

 

[KnezBP]

Kinda weird seeing a ringed jovian orbiting another jovian.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Is a waterworld a Jovian? Not in-game to check at the moment. My ship is still in-system so will confirm later.

I would need confirmation from my hero, Kevin Costner.

"Mutation!!!"

"Swab it! Swab it!"

Etc.

 

[KnezBP]

Etc.

I did not get that reference so I'll have to put Waterworld on my list.

I think it's pretty rare,but not unique.I recall finding something similar a while back (just the one,and i think a normal waterworld ) and there is no reason i can see that such a cofiguration should not occur, but as i say, it's pretty rare.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Well they weren't much to look at and the description didn't say the WW was Jovian...

Here it is:

And the Y dwarf (vast ring):

Ain't no point in staying in a fight you can't win, unless you're buying time for your friends to get out as well.

Better to retreat, regroup and return with more guns.
