  1. AI - It's like Pirate Swoks - it has a 1 in 20 chance of spawning in systems in that region that are not offgrid, regular or home to a faction; and spawns after 8 consecutive jumps in such systems if it didn't before.

    Only thing I'm not sure of is what that means exactly - I suspect offgrid = mass and regular = energy; which would mean you find it by jumping between systems that are neither.

    Which is easy enough to test.  :)

     

     

    Artifact delivery questline can be found on bulletin boards (generally of military outposts, maybe on others too) as "looking for Xsotan Artifacts", "hard", for 10000000 creds or so. Quest log will point you towards the location when you find it. You're looking for a beacon.

  2. Weapons are assignable with the same game keys as they're selected with

     

    Not sure what you mean here, could you explain better?

    Before this patch assigning weapons ignored the keys you'd set up in the settings for "weapon group 1" etc and just used 1, 2, 3, ...

    Now it uses the same keys, which allows me to actually bind weapons since my (non-qwerty) keyboard doesn't have 1, 2, 3, ... (well, not without shift)

  3. (incidentally, can you jump out of boss battles? :V )

    Absolutely (another reason why I don't want hyperspace blockers).

    Odd, I seem to remember not being to jump out of my first fight with Swoks  ???

    Maybe I'm misremembering or something.

     

    I can tell you this: Maybe you shouldn't try to fight the energy lab unless your ship is ROCK hard ;)

    I'd gotten used to not taking than more block off my shields in fights, let alone hull  :D

    Also, I can blast asteroids to smithereens very fast with 16000 firepower and no mining lasers, so that's gonna have to be a lot of stone...

    Maybe I should ask Trump to design my hull :V

  4. Yay \o/

    "There is a specific tactic we want you to use against the Mobile Energy Lab, which is why we're cranking up its firepower. A lot."

    • Increased fire power of the Mobile Energy Lab by 1500%

    wat

    Not sure what that tactic is supposed to be... shoot the guns off? Hit and run?

    (incidentally, can you jump out of boss battles? :V )

  5. I actually prefer it this way - the game is more of a puzzle to be unraveled rather than something that holds your hand along the way.

    By the way, i hit project exodus. Found no powerups, but there were system blocks of huge ships full of resources.

    10 million xanion in a single block.

    I prefer it this way too, I'm just saying a piece of the puzzle is missing. It makes sense that, if a mission asks you to bring Xsotan Artifacts somewhere, something in the game gives you an indication of what a Xsotan artifact actually is  :P I thought it was some kind of rare cargo drop you could only find in the core or something.

     

     

    Haven't managed to find Exodus yet, ran into an empty system again, so I think I'll wait for a patch  :) Only that one and the merchant one to go.  ;D

     

     

     

     

  6. I was jumping around more outer sectors yesterday, looking for the AI, and thought of something to make the NPC ships a bit more believable: fear.

    Currently the pirates attack you with no regard for their own life, even if their firepower is 40 and mine was about 16000, which meant they couldn't make a dent in my shields while I could one-shot them.Now, I know pirates aren't the cleverest (never seeing the flaw of ambushing people who are jumping into a system to help against a pirate attack and somehow not expecting those people to be able to fend off a pirate attack :V ), but that's kind of silly.

    It would be fun to see them flee when they realise they're fighting a losing battle.  :D 

  7. BTW, koonshi, I think it'd be better if the 8 upgrades are actually called "Xsotan Artifact I" etc -

    until I went digging through the lua I had no clue these things were the artifacts I was supposed to deliver to the artifact mission, which means I'd miss the dialogue with the 4 which is clearly meant to hint you toward the way to get to the core.

    There's not really any way in the game to know except guessing - you don't get them from the Xsotan, and they're just called a number.
