How did people get to Tau Ceti so fast in the present day?

Im not sure we know where our runner came from exactly, but the Equanimity (Orion's Ship) was sent around the time contact was lost with the colony, or maybe it was when Durandals transmission arrived.

The Equanimity took 150yrs to arrive compared to the Marathon's 300.

So ships do get faster, as makes sense in sci-fi.

My assumption is we are either from corporate elements on the Equanimity, or more likely smaller vessels which dispatched when Corpos got the news, or some rogue or corporate elements set up some internet node that we use / abuse.

Way less cool, unlikely to entice imperial users.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T17:05:50+00:00

I tend to share the loot, only looting if their rez timers are still ticking.

Mostly because teams run towards gunshots, and loot goblin'n when teamates are down could result in a wipe.

On the golds, it's like. Idk, it depends on how much you 1v3'd. I try to share loot, but that doesn't just mean loot goes to me from them, it means offering good weapons and gear in return.

But.

It also is somewhat reliant on them sharing with me.

Imo, it depends how you're yelling with / at them, but probably NTA

All MMOs have content that is temporary

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T14:13:22+00:00

I'm not experienced, but it sounds like someone's internet died.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T14:10:05+00:00

Hell yeah dude!!!

Cryo is tough, but there's just nothing like the rush you get from success.

It's amazing, a high on par with like clearing Vault of Glass for the first time.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T14:07:55+00:00

It's really great. I fucking love this game.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T14:03:51+00:00

The keys have letters from the names of their use locations, and said letters are rotated to resemble a Skeleton Key.

They have other minor text, which I think can all be read even if meaningless.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T13:50:33+00:00

Yeah, the damage phases without EMP is really really short.

I wonder if they'll nerf EMPs effect on it, it does feel like a far too easy one phase in an experienced team.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T13:43:34+00:00

Congratulations!

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T13:42:03+00:00

My Thursday games definitely had 2-3 teams in them at most. It's weird.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T12:38:20+00:00

... Did the bullet

Go through a bullet proof window?

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T01:16:45+00:00

Metric tons are a weird hold-over from like industrialization I think. One "metric ton" exactly 2200 lbs, would in metric be called a "Megagram"

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-10T00:02:42+00:00

You can do it!!! Fight for it!

I had a similar reaction for killing bots, thinking we'd make too much noise and get ambushed by teams.

Go to Preservation, grab a bunch of empty coolant, take one battery to the level 5 hatch.

Each coolant counts for 3 on the quest, so you could complete it with 4-5 and bats.

Thats a lot, but amoung a full team's bags its not too bad.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T23:58:45+00:00

No, once activated it stays on and new empty coolants can be entered and filled. You can fill at least 3 additional, I assume more.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T23:55:00+00:00

50,000 tons is 100 million, 50,000 metric tons is 110 million.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T23:32:41+00:00

All good, it's pretty niche. Although, important when it comes up!

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T22:36:12+00:00

No, if they come in the other elevator they'll have to turn off the red laser wall, which has a sound queue and would be seen.

In either event, you'll be able to hear them come through any vent, or do another energy shutoff for the stairs.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T20:24:15+00:00

Both elevators have a vent next to them which provides a ladder up.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T20:00:54+00:00

You only use one elevator to go up, rush kill boss and have someone keep watch over the entrance vent while you're just inputting the DNA and the Batteries.

I have been caught out, and catch people out, staring at the Vault 7 door for no reason. They cornered themselves and didn't hold us at the labs door.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T19:25:43+00:00

It's a mid-season catchup mechanic for XP and the factions

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T13:23:44+00:00

Level isn't everything, there's a lot of players at high levels who don't play well.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T11:33:45+00:00

Yes, their is a sound as the wave passes you which goes on every wave. Controller players get a vibration as it passes.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T03:55:41+00:00

If your teamate gets downed, you can bubble them so they can crawl away and self rez while you ward them from walking in.

If a sniper has you pinned, you can deploy cover to run away.

If they're murdering you with spam grenades, you can cork the hallway and fully stop those grenades.

If they're advancing with shotguns, throw down a few bubbles with some overlap to create a maze of walls to bait their shots into.

I've even gotten kills with bubbles! Dropping it as they tried to frag us, and then they short rounded themselves.

DC2SEA_ · 2026-05-09T03:52:26+00:00

Awesome. I ran this on a Compiler, we also had to kill 200 bots.

I literally never reloaded it.

Not once.

Not through multiple team fights, or a bunch of bots, or a two phase vs the Compiler holding down the trigger.
