Can you add me OB: profiles/76561197961193558/

Just a thought after last night where we tried to do some stuff in the game and couldn't find anything new to work on.

The incredible flaw in this game is once certain things have been completed, new players can't redo them.

Are there any missions or activities we can do that haven't already been completed by the more experienced players of the game?

[RogueTaylor]

This is a problem that me and lib have spoke about a lot. Sadly once a base/ mission is done that's it for the game there no coming back of the enemy. A good amount of mission have already been done on the first world, there are a few near my base and duvels now ( I am no longer lonly ) so come over and do one of them but not all of them just do one on the home planet so you know what to expect when you go to other planets and find stronger bases and enemy's. The space port above me has be complete but the drone base beneath me has had all its turrets destroyed because it started on me any other one near my base should be active unless people have been over already and done everything

[Galatoni]

I've ended up in a position where i've been left with less than nothing after returning from a long trip (and Jewelsy losing my stuff ) I'm actually finding there are number of things I would have perhaps have done differently. I quite enjoy the exploration element, but there seemed to been a rush to get off world. Part of this I can understand, its a new game, you'd like to see what it has to offer. I'm wondering if it might be have been better to temper this slightly and built a community Capital ship of some kind. Heck, I'm just trying to have a go with the hover stuff before I start on a ship.

To be honest, i'm not even sure that would've helped.

I think it might be worth while approaching this with a new difficulty level, or at least discussing possible options or self-imposed limitations.

Yeah this is another thing I have spoke to lib about a lot, when this server was made the idea was making a big community capital ship that we would all work on but the way that people play games some have already done most things and have made there own ship leaving the planet and .... Well getting there ass kicked on another planet. I am still on the starter planet and have no plans of leaving yet, maybe to see the moon but that's all.

Hopefully we might be able To get a plan together to sort out a capital ship in this game that we can all work on. I would love to make a capital ship that can hold a few of our smaller vessels so when we come to a new planet we leave the ship in orbit and take down out smaller ones. Maybe even a drop ship ?

[Galatoni]

Ha. Sorted your quote out. You forgot the closing slash.

I think we consider this on balance with the game being taken on (if at all) it might be worth laying down some ground rules regarding constructions. I'm not sure if existing planets can be removed and new ones respawned with the consoles? Might be just a case of then saying to people that anything built on planets other than the starter world are subject to destruction.

[RogueTaylor]

Thanks gal for fixing it

Currently from what I know no one has built anything in any other planet yet, apart from the starter planet the only other thing people might be building/living on is that beautiful space station that sith and you took over. A lot of people have only just started to build there small vessels, I know lib helped most people to make them small cute vessels that work so most people should be upgrading them ready for combat and ability to get to the moon.

[Jewelz^]

The trouble is we don't need bases on Akua. I basically live in orbit now and only pop down to say hello and get oxygen from my generator. All other resources and others, can be mined on other planets. My Capital Ship is my base all be it, a few blocks of iron and the essentials.

[SithAfrikaan]

I still think that dominating an AI base and putting it up for new ownership can save people with limited play time exactly that, time, I'm quite proud to have been able to offer sneaky the structure I took over, nothing of value was in place, not cheatlevel resources, just a nice sized chunky strong base. Same goes for the Space Station, while I'd love to build something like that with the community, and still would, having the core shape available without having to start from literal block one is such a bonus, because building takes a ridiculous amount of time.
ALSO
Everything we've stolen from the AI has come at great cost, Jewelz can testify to that I think Lib and Galatoni too, the high stress combat shinanigans is a lot of fun, and the rewards are well earned...

Personally I would build my own cap ship anyway, because I simply don't want to be limited to planet exploring only when X member is online and agreeable, since the ownership and the time spent on the build makes it a massive risk using it. Jewelz's cap ship came back in chunks from our trip to the dangerzone (now I'm singing that) and really, lucky it came back at all. I literally never want to have that conversation with the group if I managed to get the cap ship ten people helped build blown to pieces... BrotherTobious knows how I fly! :woot2:
