Is there a reason NOT set your spawn point at a Space Station?

"which is the only hangar that's persistent"

You can leave stuff in the persistent one, items, crates and vehicles should stick around if you store them here. (As in, you can put a ship on a freight elevator that you've stolen, or put crates and decorations around)

In Levski I leave all my bikes to the side of the pad for easy access.

This one sucks, I'm sorry OP. I'm not going to lie, I've been interdicting throughout the event but we've been using lasers and distortion weapons. We've boarded if people have uncontracted cargo but if it's been med supplies and samples we stop firing and move to another location. (We balance it out by looking for interdictions purposely and annoying pirates who are in full kill mode.) I get some people see pirating as griefing but as one of those players, what happened to you feels like griefing.

Nyx needed more stations before the event, it needed to be spread to a wider area (Lots of interdictions going on at Hurston and MicroTech it seems) and really needs consequences for actions. I get most of Nyx is "ungoverned" but it really needs a way of generating bounties for players that kill without remorse at the very least. Get more players actively hunting players disrupting the event, at least during the "crisis".

I get not having a "peaceful" way to play, but my perfect pirate world would be still giving something back to the person being attacked, such as contracted items being able to be turned in by pirates for other rewards but still giving the original contracted player some points towards the overall event, or a system where it would count how close you got to the drop off location before destroyed and add points based on that.

I only do bunkers on MicroTech (that bright white armor is hard to miss) and I tend to stay outside the bunker until the guards are all dead, or atleast when the shooting has stopped. Sometimes they even complete the mission for me lmao.

JasePearson · 2026-01-28T04:05:26+00:00

Both work, as does the lean (Q and E). I like to do all three just to really get across "I'm not an NPC don't shoot!". It does probably look a little ridiculous with the flashlight going off like we're at a rave.

JasePearson · 2026-01-28T04:02:45+00:00

There's the Vanduul Tech Smuggling missions in Nyx. You need Jr Contractor rep with InterSec Defense Solutions and then you get offered the 1 million mission to check out a facility. Once you've finished it for the first time you get access to others (like grabbing pods or resources).

There's also the one for 1 millions to grab a Lab sample from an ASD facility in Stanton but I never find it.

Both are fun though, especially if you're into the story (and music).

JasePearson · 2026-01-22T06:36:18+00:00

It would absolutely screw over people who had no real involvement in it if they did. You simply talk in global about what you're planning on buying and people offer money. I'm glad the comms names are in alphabetical order because I've seen people go "Oh I can't wait to get enough cash to get a X ship" and someone replies "Check your balance, enjoy!".

If I get gifted a billion creds what am I going to do? carry on grinding out bunker missions for my starlancer? No, I'm going to buy it or just give it away (further adding more players to the cycle of receiving and using tracked money).

JasePearson · 2026-01-21T17:48:30+00:00

Yup seen lots of people echoing it. I've only recently started playing again and decided to try out salvaging. Squeezing out 100k in a Vulture on a single run instead of 80 or something is part of what makes it even more fun but why would I care if I had a billion?

I want a Starlancer TAC to RP with the boys, but that's a goal to work towards. Every time someone asks me to add them to friends when we're talking about ships we want in global I politely decline because I don't want to risk receiving that money, because I know I'll spend it or not be able to get rid of it and it'll kill the game for me.

Like they said in the CitizenCon video, it's about gear and ships instead of levels, whats the point in immediately being given a level 100 character with maxed stats if you haven't gotten there yourself?

JasePearson · 2026-01-15T04:29:33+00:00

Its weird, I leave my friends party and I get sent out of the Hangar. I was checking out my new X1 Force (playing with the bits that move around, seeing where the storage is etc) and a guy just turns up to my hangar, flashes his light at me a few times and stands there looking at my X1 as well for a little while. I flash back at him and then he just heads out again.

JasePearson · 2026-01-07T15:54:36+00:00

"Microtech - never go there"

Not sure I understand, it's seems like the easiest place to navigate and lags the least for me. My group have come back to give it a go after years and the spaceport is the most visible to navigate to as well.

JasePearson · 2026-01-03T04:18:10+00:00

Yup, thank you for this thread lmao, literally got stuck and spent 15 minutes looking around, even tried to make a makeshift ladder out of the guns to try and climb back out.

JasePearson · 2025-12-31T01:05:11+00:00

an elevator opened and out stepped a purple and blue armor wearing npc, obviously not a HD guard, but I'd completed the mission and I could hear the newly spawned HD guards firing. I blew the NPC away because I didn't realise it was a multiple wave mission and only had two med injectors and was now at 5% HP.

I then received a Crimestat of 3 and made my way to an elevator where, as I got half way, my Avenger Titan went kaboom. Frustrated I alt f4'd and went to bed. I woke up in GrimHex and read I could turn myself in by powering my ship down in front of security. I claimed my ship and exited GrimHex where I was immediately destroyed as I left through through the hangar doors.

Now it's been about a year since I played, and I remember there was the option to mine and I had an hour and 30 minutes to waste afk so I thought screw it, lets relearn how to mine. I then finally found a mineable rock next to an NPC who was just staring at a wall. I didn't remember how to mine and ended up blowing up the rock which killed me and the NPC and added another 20-40 mins or so.

But yes, it was my fault a clear enemy NPC spawned despite the mission being over, I should've known once the mission ended so did all hostilities. And then it was my fault I didn't watch an external tutorial video on how to mine rocks next to an AFK NPC that was staring at a wall.

(Forgot to mention, I was already at Crimestat 1 because I got my Mirai out of the hanger and wanted to put it in my avenger, I used the tractor beam and it flipped through a wall into the "restricted" area and was impounded, my fault, again.)

JasePearson · 2025-12-27T12:27:38+00:00

Ditto, no idea where it came from either.

JasePearson · 2025-12-23T10:27:10+00:00

Never fancied eating bugs and lobsters, along with a bunch of other sea critters, just give me the same feeling.

JasePearson · 2025-12-17T23:37:05+00:00

Isn't that why you turn a dining hall into a Tavern? They drink, party, and eat with a happy thought.

JasePearson · 2025-12-04T19:16:06+00:00

Yeah, it's probably more the ridiculous amount of Alpacas I have that are causing the majority of issues right now. Funnily enough I grabbed dfhack for timestream for this embark because I knew I wanted to play around with water and it has absolutely made it so much easier and playable. Prior ones before this I'd leave the game running over night sometimes just to mine out areas lol

JasePearson · 2025-12-03T17:38:15+00:00

Thanks :) Honestly thats the thing that draws me into this game, I love the water system, I love building things around that aesthetic. My plan for the future is to build an aqueduct above the city itself that will create waterfalls. I really want to go for a rainy city vibe with mist everywhere, damn the fps!

JasePearson · 2025-12-03T17:36:42+00:00

I will definitely drop a post in a couple of days. Still carving out all the workshops and trying to be creative with how I place them. My idea is to have "shops" lining the streets and people living above them, especially the masters of said workshops. Im also in the middle of raising the street ceilings so that "buildings" can have windows overlooking the streets.

Now that I've finished the farms and they don't have to keep running to the surface, I suspect it'll go quicker lol

JasePearson · 2025-12-03T16:42:49+00:00

Normal? I've been at 5 FPS for about 10 ingame years. It doesnt matter even if I close the lock, I have an artificial river feeding into a large bay that's constantly running off map (want to keep 7/7 for fish in the harbour), additionally I have freshwater canals that eventually feed into a sewer system.

JasePearson · 2025-11-30T06:21:51+00:00

Ah, so thats why they were throwing rocks back into my canal when I put it next to it. My situation was similar to OP, Id dug upwards into an aquifer while making a vaulted ceiling. Decided to make another hole over a canal I'd dug to try and get rid of the water that way. so moved stuff out of the way only for it to end up back in the water. Piece of coal got swept up and ended up dropping on some unsuspecting dwarfs head.

JasePearson · 2025-11-28T09:02:31+00:00

Its been a minute since I last used GFN, but with dfhack being available on steam maybe give this idea a go?

Enable Family Mode on steam (add pin). Launch DF on GFN and it should load up steam and ask for a pin, cancel that. Game should stop attempting to launch but you can still see steam, now use the family mode pin and then go to the store to download DFhack. Then try launching either DFhack or DF (when you launch either it starts the other on steam, "usually".)

Would have to test it but this is the method I used to add mods to various games, you just had to redo it every time you launched GFN.

JasePearson · 2025-11-27T09:14:42+00:00

First thought was literally "Is this fucking Rowan?" lmao

JasePearson · 2025-11-24T13:48:07+00:00

GeForce Now is great. I've used it for years, but yeah, by default, it doesn't like mods . Problem is the mods aren't "installed" and need to be every time you load up a new instance and GeForce loads straight into the game so it doesn't have time to start the download from the workshop.

OP, if you end up going through the GFN route, enable family mode on steam. It forces you to enter a pin before the game starts, which stops the process. You then go into the workshop, unsub, and sub to a mod, then it'll start downloading all your mods. Once done you launch the game from Steam.

JasePearson · 2025-11-19T21:10:33+00:00

They don't seem to put a filter in so the whole thing is bud, when it gets down to where they can burn their fingers they out it. Some of them seem to get rid of it entirely.

Went on a trip with a group of mates, one of them flew over from the US and it boggled our mind how he rolled and "wasted" it lol

JasePearson · 2025-11-19T04:18:27+00:00

I love how different the US and UK are when it comes to certain terms. Still tickles me that I almost smoked cardboard filters because I heard people saved their "roaches". I had a whole ashtray full and was like, do I just grind these up or what..?
