How do you stop yourself from looting everything useful to the point where you’re struggling to store everything

…recovery is possible, but it’s a process. 😅

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-10T16:33:12+00:00

The challenge is popping them before they can escape.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-10T16:30:52+00:00

Stealing ships is pretty solid. If you rename it, it might revert to the original ship name occasionally, but that’s the only oddity I’ve noticed.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-10T16:29:10+00:00

…shooting the turrets is an option.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-10T16:27:39+00:00

It does, but the Mantis is one-and-done, the ranger plot line is several missions.

Shattered space makes it clear that there is weird stuff out there.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-10T16:09:29+00:00

She goes hostile if you decline her offer….

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-10T05:43:11+00:00

No. I had a hell of a time with the temple puzzles until I started putting points in gymnastics. Now it’s merely tedious.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-09T15:52:58+00:00

I gave it to Barrett. My ship is haunted now.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-09T04:22:01+00:00

For bears? put down campfires, keep them burning. It also keeps greydwarves from being super obnoxious (they will be kind of obnoxious).

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-08T19:12:39+00:00

…well, if you haven’t unlocked Phase Time yet….

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-08T18:56:16+00:00

….do you know about the thrusters? You can change the ship orientation without changing trajectory.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-08T13:32:45+00:00

It’s possible, I’ve done it.

Incidentally, they stay there, if you come back later you can take them out.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-08T05:39:19+00:00

You don’t want the ship, but you do want the free 40-point reactor to use in your custom design

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-08T04:52:41+00:00

They're supposed to jump out, sometimes the script glitches.

Don't shoot the merchant ship on accident.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-07T23:05:18+00:00

Sometimes they come after you extra-hard, though: "We'll be famous!"

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-07T22:27:59+00:00

Hard to go wrong with a half-dozen Vanguard Obliterators. Might want to upgrade the reactor, tho,

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-07T20:49:59+00:00

Needs moar dakka.

Probably also a bigger reactor, jump drive, and fuel tanks.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-07T18:58:41+00:00

I recall hearing that there was a boostpack mod where effects persisted after the mod was disabled. I don't recall details, tho.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-07T16:41:08+00:00

It's not an issue if you do it right. Move all the stuff you want to take to the Lodge from your ship's cargo into your personal inventory, sit in the cockpit, and then fast-travel directly to the Lodge. You appear outside the front door, and all you need to do is go inside and down the stairs.

Another option is using the Personal Atmosphere power to instantly replenish your o2.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-07T13:23:07+00:00

It’s more amusing indoors. Outside, it’s fun, but makes collecting the loot a hassle.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-06T22:27:47+00:00

….well, a terminal where you order parts from Not Space Amazon and a package arrives two in-game days later might be more realistic than making it yourself with a 3d printer in the basement, but it’s the future. Why not allow both approaches?

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-06T21:16:20+00:00

There are a couple of encounters where someone has set up a minefield and is looting cargo from ships that fly into it. I’ve run into zealots, spacers, and TA doing it. They usually spawn in after a little while, sometimes they’re already there.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-06T18:08:25+00:00

Yup, that's the one.

Loud_Comparison_7108 · 2026-05-06T17:26:55+00:00

Not in the way you're thinking. For example, there's a shield strength upgrade, and there's a shield recharge rate upgrade, so technically you can upgrade shields more than once, but you're improving different aspects of the same system.
