StarkRavingMad posted:It turns out that Skimmers are distant relatives to Thargoids. Also Thargoids have time distortion powers, and the instant they see you, they rollback all money and assets you acquired from killing Skimmers, out of vengeance. I figure the same tech that pulls you out of hyperspace will also make any combat loggers persistent. FD thinks of everything.

loving lol how can you possibly screw up the thing you've been building up for the past two years with a bounty hunter dropping in the same instance, there is no  big enough  http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/DP%20Sayre/video/25337808 Maybe it'll incentivise them to fix it. Nah let's be real, code:

I was thinking about reinstalling but then again unless the Thargoids are like galaxy threatening, they're probably gonna be relegated to just Combat Zones while the game continues on as usual, while avenues to making money are narrowed and the game made less Fun

Mailer posted:"First contact! We've found alien life! What wonders will..." No other way of interacting in the game. It's like the barnacles and Braben going 'oh wow typical humans shooting at things they don't understand' yeah no poo poo guy, we can't do anything but shoot at it as there isn't any other interaction. We can't send out a science team of hail it or any of that poo poo so of course we are going to shoot it.

Get ready for months of this exact random "cutscene" and maybe something else happening sometime..... maybe. I agree that the mechanical design and sound of the thing is amazingly good, it just better not be the only new thing coming in the next few weeks.

The thagroid thing got my interest to log into the game. I figured hey I did like 5000 missions for the federation on draconis, i bet i can get a bunch of ranks up. Went to a fed station, scummed the board for a while, got a nice assassinate pirate guy mission the next system over. Except he wouldnt be there for another 30 minutes and I just had to wait.

No I think we're going to have these random scans for a looong time, then maybe a second type of ship like a combat ship. Then two CGs run by Fed/Imp to murder Tharg ships and turn in a doodad that drops rarely to a specific station. Cannon(?) will be involved somehow, there will be a badly written GalNet "news article" too. Fdev, hire me.

Thanks. I was confused as to whether or not this was a bug or what. I think I saw a video of this the other day on discord. What the heck could cause something like that to happen? Oh yeah

Hah, I finally managed to get myself out here(been really busy with life, ugh) but there doesn't seem to be any missions for me to pick up. am I missing some faction related stuff? Also, I was stupid and didn't load up a ship with mines, is there a station near 17 D that has them?

Go go gadget 31ly hauler. edit: Even then, it's 17 jumps from Nisgayo to 17Drac. We need better FSDs, or I need more patience. Though with a 19ish ly Clipper it took a while to hop from Khun to Nisgayo where my hauler was, and even as I write this I'm still 8 jumps out from 17Drac, and I started the game up when I saw a|w's post. edit2: crap, I forgot to buy and store two missile racks beforehand. Nearest place that sells them looks like it's 224ly away

What do you even need for 17drac? Can a noob with a Cobra and 3 million credits cut it or should I not bother making the trip?

skooma512 posted:What do you even need for 17drac? Can a noob with a Cobra and 3 million credits cut it or should I not bother making the trip? I made ~300mil using a ViperIV with two fixed 2b missile racks and stock shields. The problem is, you can't buy mine layers or missile racks anywhere closer than ~224ly back toward the bubble so you'll need to store them before you leave for 17Drac. To get there, strip down a Hauler and give it D grade everything except FSD, stick a fuel scoop on it so you don't scupper yourself, then set sail for the station in 17Drac. Buy your Viper, ship the missile racks from storage to 17Drac (it'll take about an hour and a half because lol my immersion). Stick the missile racks on your Viper and grab as many massacre missions from the warring faction who doesn't currently own the planetside base. Fly over to the planet, Limbo, then approach the base, stop at about 300m away then just inch closer until the skimmers pop. Fire two missiles, hit reverse (so you're back outside the 250m skimmer spawn range) and hit log out. Log back in and close the distance. Rinse, repeat until your mission log is all complete. Then you can either fly back over to the station or blow yourself up and respawn there.. However Neither warring faction presently owns the planetside base though, as I just discovered from the system map, so it doesn't really matter. adamantium|wang posted:The war seems to be between Jet Bridge and The Order but the planet is held by New 17 Drac Yeah, an hour of riding friendship tunnels for nothing

I got ripped out of witchspace while on the hunt for Thargoids while jumping between Pleiades Sector EB-X c1-17 and Merope. Even knowing what was going to happen, it was still impressive. I had been jumping around Merope for a while with no luck and someone had a spare UA so I got that from them and had my encounter 3 jumps after I got the UA.

Wait, Thargoids are in?  Man, now I might have to actually play this dumb game. But I haven't touched it since before The Engineers update, so it feels like it might be too much

Despite being warned for (at this point) over a year, that hey maybe taking some defences is a good idea because aliens might shoot you.
