What Did You Do in the BGS Freeze?

Johnny Cyclops · Feb 24, 2019

Just curious what CMDRs have been up to during the three day BGS Influence 'freeze'. Many may have carried on regardless.

I filled my time by:

1. completing accreditation with another Engineer.
2. engineering the Fer De Lance I bought a few months ago, and had left parked in the garage.
3. Took the FDL into some nearby CZs to road-test it (ok, that PROB will cause a BGS state/inf change by helping an MF to win a war, but it's not a conflict I've got a strong interest in)

Today might include SRV surface elements scavenging to refill some depletion caused by the FDL Eng upgrades. I might also head out in the Asp-X to continue surface scanning Agricultural systems with Earth Like Worlds (seems to bag 0.5m cr per planet, and don't need to leave the bubble, and useful to have some scans backlogged in my pocket for when BGS unfreezes).

I still had conflicts ongoing. I couldn't just leave those be since the effort there still counted.

Switched to an Explorer Alt and try not to look as my -ve Eco / Sec rating gets leeched away as the factions return back towards None....

I played even less (not at all).
Yes, it was possible to play less, but only just.

Deareim · Feb 24, 2019

Few conflicts to do then playing anothee game. No bgs = no game for me.

Cmdr Tel · Feb 24, 2019

Ran maintenance missions in the hope of mitigating damage from a BGS restart of three days of accumulated actions.

Jmanis · Feb 24, 2019

Played other games. Rimworld takes up some time, Yakuza 0 is keeping me busy, and Factorio 0.17 comes out this week (hopefully)

Been re-visiting FarCry2 for the last week or so.
ED is totally pointless until the BGS is fixed.
It was the only thing that kept me playing for the last 2 years.
Not playing is the only meaningful protest I can make, seen as FD are pretty much ignoring the myriad bug reports on the subject.
If they don't fix it before 'Beyond Skyrim' is complete, I might never come back.

Sapyx · Feb 25, 2019

I kept playing as per normal, because even after noticing it was frozen, I had no indication that the freeze was going to end on any one particular day.

DevilFistX · Feb 25, 2019

Kept running missions for influence in the hopes that the gods of elite would wake up the next day. But then today I realized it might have actualy been the fargod, so we are probably all forsaken now!

BaddMongo · Feb 25, 2019

Play Football Manager and catch up on The Walking Dead mostly

MaksThrottle · Feb 25, 2019

I engineered my power plant and power distrubutor for the conda, and did some grind missions to get the corvette.

FrogsFriend · Feb 25, 2019

This week(end) I have mostly been..... shooting Thargoids.

Walter2 · Feb 25, 2019

I've discovered and mapped a lot of new systems. Looking forward to the upcoming group planetary circumnavigation. BGS should be working properly by the time it's finished, all shiny and bug free.

Greybeard_LXI · Feb 25, 2019

Dancing Friday and Sunday (and tonight)
Civ V Thursday and Saturday

Probably not this week. They like to announce on Friday and Launch Tuesday. But I'm looking forward it too.

RaptorJesusss · Feb 25, 2019

Finally completed some engineering on my Anaconda, did a bit of mining and got my Prismatics finally.
Going to be defecting to Grom this week to get the grom bomb.

Dear friend, when I rest from BGS, I'm doing the following: sell, so I have a rank of Elite, flying to explore, not very far away, in 1500 years, so I have a rank of Elite, very rarely begin to beat the pirates, so my rank is not the Elite ))))
In fact, there is always something to do in ED, but the time in the day is very small, we still have to work and give themselves to the family, children ))))
