What I am hoping for is that all factions except pirates get the ability to set other factions to blue and avoid shooting them with turrets. I feel like this would give the alliance the ability to band together to take down pirates with superior numbers which they just can’t do at the moment.
I’m hoping that the alliance get a faction ability more tailored to clearing out pirate camps rather than just a yes/no on if there are pirates within 15km which is pretty worthless. I think an ability to determine if there are any active pirate ships (as in, currently being piloted) in system would help give a point to alliance because their allowed PvP scope is so narrow.
And I think it’s preposterously stupid that the second that pirates in trader system the traders scream out for help from alliance yet I haven’t seen a single instance of traders providing resources to alliance to help them build ships to fight. Why on earth would alliance come to a trader’s rescue if they’re just going to come away from it in a damaged ship that needs repairs in a best case scenario and a complete loss of the ship in the worst.
NA server has no alliance faction that is even remotely relevant in PvP and that should change but I’m not sure if the game allows the necessary mechanics atm.
Hey xanif I heard that there is a huge base there on the moon of the alliance and that it is full of resources, you would have the map of this treasure, I want to debut that asteroid that you gave me as a gift …
I did a flyby of alliance moon yesterday and didn’t find anything. I’ll check it out again tonight after work.
If you still have the asteroid you should be able to keep yourself in ships for a while. That thing was like 160k iron in the form of combat steel just for the hull alone.
Yes we still have it, although it has been a little damaged due to our own initial attack, but we are reforming it, but as you drink gasoline that plague … it will not be dismantled, maybe in the next combat you will be able to recover it again.
It was the best fight we’ve had on the server so far …
It was fun to be sure. The only reason we managed to show up to defend is one of our members logged in and saw all of you there and you didn’t kill him because all your guns were off. That gave Mordiger and I time to rally and kick you guys out but it was sheer dumb luck that we were able to return in time.
We managed to recover the majority of stuff in our utility CV and recovered all of the combat CV’s but it was a PITA to be sure. I hope you guys ocd’d the combat steel because there were 4 full boxes of it.
The only real tactic against the asteroid is to circle strafe until it runs out of fuel. The BP is public on the workshop so you can use that to fix whatever internal components are damaged if you so chose. And you should because that thing is hilarious in combat.
Suffice to say we won’t be making that mistake again. The private bug hasn’t just hit us, we’ve hit two bases that had the same bug that exposed us. Seems like homeworld is a very dangerous place to have a deep space CV at the moment.
But you guys definitely won the asteroid fair and square. We spent a while looking for it but gave up when it became apparent you guys got away with it
It was very iconic, I hope you treat it with the same love we gave it.
Actually we got a little muddled and did not jump with what we should at the right moment, and the guns were really off, so as not to damage their ships that we wanted to loot over the battlefield, I think it was destroyed in the attack, in the We did not catch, our fault was not jump to another field of play pve with the resource ship and the battle ship, and yes this bug and annoying, we were also surprised with the same bug a month ago … we have to report , We do not even know for sure how it occurs exactly …
Yea, we were having the same reaction of wondering why you didn’t just jump everything to elemental marketplace and sort through it there. Or at least grab the materials and OCD them. Everyone makes mistakes though and it’s a lesson learned for next time. We’ve certainly made that mistake before and paid for it.
Please tell me you at least blueprinted octodile while you had the chance. Out of everything we had there, that blueprint was the by far the most valuable. We can replace everything that was destroyed but once an intact octodile is blueprinted that genie is out of the bottle for good.
Octodile is the red and black combat cruiser massive steel, it was hard to get in the run of it, but luckily none of us had the brilliant idea to take Bp from him, that ship is fantastic and you have a fleet of them apparently, I would not like it To give me his bp, of course if this is the ship you’re talking about, it gave us an idea of how we should change our ships now, that model we use it is half multy function, but now it will be full combat, and they are Pretty sturdy, do not you think?
I’ve been of the mind for a while that only Traders should be allowed to have as many autominers as they want, other factions should be restricted to a certain number.
I love the concept of the Alliance faction as is. The only issue is that the lack of alliance faction options and “don’t shoot unless shot at” options for turrets do not yet exist in game, so it’s tough to really take the RP direction. As soon as it’s there, I’m totally going on pirate patrol far more often.
Trader: I think I saw a deposit 5km away from your base and your base obstructs my view while mining so I leveled it flat. But I am a real trader totally not some fake trader. Also I mine using warships that cost atleast 100k ingots because… Erm… For my own protection!
