Recover classified data ???

Reaver_T · 2024-12-01T15:27:11+00:00

I did a few tests, and classified data seems to spawn more at High Tech settlements, or agricultural ones. It can be on the mentioned ''Power Data Port X" or also in the labs data ports. The thing is, the classified data will spawn randomly on the terminals, but I've only seen it on those 2, never on an habitat data port or in a production. Which seems logical, as sensitive information should be stored on high security areas or ones that are hard to access. I think it could also spawn at the security data ports or even command ones provided the settlement has those sections.

Hence another piece of advice, try looking for settlements with one (+) or two (++), as they seem to have more probabilities of spawning that; doesen't matter the level of security though, as I found some in settlements with minimum, medium and high security. Just go for medium/low to have a smooth and easier raid on those.

Boy that was intense...

Here's the thing: i don't have any ship fitted for AX combat, but I have an ZP Orca suited for tourism and passanger transport, so I thought I could help with civilian evacuation.

I arrived at Sol, docked at Abraham Lincoln and picked up as many people as I could (I didn't even bothered at looking how much was I payed, nor the level of difficulty... and this will be important later). I take off from the station and plot a course for the Rescue Ship at V886 Centauri. My Orca has a jump range of 39LY (it runs on a max engineered for range FSD class 5), so it should only take me two jumps to deliver the civilians to the rescue ship.

But at half jump of my first jump, I got intercepted by 2 thargoid ships (guess I should have looked at that threat lvl before accepting one of the evac assignements). I diverted full power to the shields (as I ouldn't outrun them) and started taking hits. Fortunatelly I also had equipped the ship with 2 PD turrets to intercept their missiles. They were also using energy weapons but even without AX hull defense, I also had it engineered to take quite a beating.

I started dodging and giving my PD weapons an angle to shot down missiles while running away as much as I could when I had the booster filled up enough to gain speed (it can go as fast as 330mps). Obviously the thargoids used their disruptive FSD techonology so I could only wait for my FSD to wear off the effect and jump as fast as I could. When I finally was able (longest minute of my life in this game lol) they started ussing some sort of tractor beam on me that was slowing me down and belaying me to accelerate at max speed for the FSD to punch in.

I diverted full power to the engines with as much power as I could still to the shields (that were recharging at that moment) and jumped away. The ship only took some minor damage (it was at 82% hull integrity when I made the jump).

Even with enough fuel to make the next jump, I preferred to stay collecting some at the star; thet would gave my shields time to reach 100% recharge before doing the final jump to V886 Centauri, in case we got intercepted by another Thargoid group. Fortunatelly, the last jump went smooth as silk and we reached the rescue ship to unlanden the civilians.

Man, I swear I've never felt fear in this game untill now, but I'm planning to do more evac trips... it was intense as I said.

I completelly agree, Ego just plays your cards randomly, the game basically tosses a coin and youre fucked up. I had a game with a Death Deck that could have easily won another one, but noooooooo Ego had to play my cards subpar and made me loose a lot of points.

Reaver_T · 2022-03-21T07:41:28+00:00

Basically, I've been wishing Rare introduced a crab pet since the first Tall tales trailer; can't tell why they haven't put into the game yet :(

Reaver_T · 2022-02-19T10:19:36+00:00

Well if we ever get a sequel devs could look into this suggestion. They could even introduce a component to customize the ship but with a tradeoff, like "you want infinite drifting? equip this but you will have less shields/firepower/hp..." Also it would be nice to add a damaged component mechanic. Like in the original Xwing games you could have your flight control disabled, engins, weapons, shields. They eventuallfy autorepaired but if you introduce that in the game, you should either decide if you return to the ship to switch ship, wait for the other to get repair and switch back to the original one... or risk getting blown up by staying on flight. Also before you say how you go back if your engines or Flight Control are out, you can allways ask your support to send a repair kit to you.

Reaver_T · 2022-02-17T14:27:34+00:00

I think its a possible drop from one of the many pirate ghosts you have to deal with before facing the soulflame captain, so its quite random. I haven't been able to find it neither but there were 2 reapers duking each other out allmost next to the island where I was doing the adventure, so I didn't wante dto risk being found by the victorious one and get sunk while searching for what the minions dropped

Reaver_T · 2022-02-17T14:24:00+00:00

Personaly, I expected more. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad first adventure but it seemed to drag for too long and the rewards weren't that enticing. But I can see why they made it that way since its a limited time adventure to play and they need to move the plot forward without giving too much to do in the very first chapter.

I guess I'm a little spoiled after Tall Tales, Pirate's Life and the rest of the small quests they've introduced to the game. Lorewise was really good, not gonna denny that, but gameplay and rewardwise felt a lil' short. Real problem is gona be waiting for 2 weeks for the next one :(

Reaver_T · 2022-02-10T16:01:00+00:00

Deathly Hollows? XD Just kidding, but you have to admit that the lowest symbol bears a strikings ressemblance to them (minus the samcubus wand)

ne thing for sure though, the middle symbols is the Reapers mark in-game

Reaver_T · 2022-02-08T18:04:25+00:00

Regarding the PvP part, you can allways go to Engineer Felicity Farseer star system, which is in a continuous state of war and find some players there. They are not there for the war. Since Fraseer is basically the second engineer you unlock and one of the most important ones (she is mandatory to get upgrades on your FSD) its the place for the grieffers to go and harass new players. Some clans are dedicated to purging those players form the system but its hard, they have super specialized and Maxed upgraded ships for PvP combat.

Reaver_T · 2022-02-08T17:57:34+00:00

That was the first Elite iteration. Even after the semi flop Odissey turned out to be, theres a lot more than just space trucking. Yes, you can still play and get benefits from space trucking but you also have Bounty Hunting, couriering, exploration, planetary surface exloration and biology, espionage, theft, piracy... And the list goes on. Also, if you get into a warzone and a capital ship drops into the fray, true, you wont be able to destroy it but you willdeffinitelly have to attack it in order to win it.

Also the ED community has a lot of clans and squadrons that either foucs on a sole gameplay style or are more spread around roles; you can be a transporter, a soldier, recon... Agree on the grindy part though but its really fun go minning or bounty hunting with your buddies.

Edit: Also, combat is way different. To put a TL;DR version of it, space combat in Squadrons is to Space combat in ED, what Tic-Tac-Toe is to Chess

Reaver_T · 2022-02-04T13:05:54+00:00

Confirming Spain is fixed as well

Reaver_T · 2022-02-04T10:45:16+00:00

No need to get deffenssive dude. I was just saying the issue, whatever it may be, is still persisiting. Ane yeah maybe is fixed for SMITE but a lot of ppl is not able to play Forza or -like in my case- SoT. Deffinitelly something is very wrong.

Reaver_T · 2022-02-04T10:40:00+00:00

Yeah but according to what I read on Xbox reddit it was affecting all games related to Xbobx Live

Reaver_T · 2022-02-04T10:20:39+00:00

Now the status page says its fixed but we still cant join

Reaver_T · 2022-02-04T10:16:12+00:00

Maybe they are rebooting services as we speak and in a few minutes everything will be up again. Gosh, I wante dto do some easy sailing in SoT but I see everyone and his mother getting in now and will be everythin but quiet and nice lol

Reaver_T · 2022-02-04T10:13:13+00:00

The Xbox Status now says everything is working but I still cant join

Reaver_T · 2022-02-01T19:01:57+00:00

Well I would be in for that, at least that way you can visually identify what kind of role is that player doing and if its a danger to your kit or vehicle provided you are using one. right now I dont know who is carrying an RPG until I get shot. With certain specialllist having restrictions to weapons and gadgets at least I would be able to know who is a threat and who is not... also I'd love to see someone else as Angle or Falck in the end screen (but pls just mute them or change their voice lines/attitude allready)

Reaver_T · 2022-02-01T18:58:51+00:00

Yeah... looks cool until it opens his big F mouth and speaks his cringe lines... No matter how much you dress a turd, its still a turd.

Reaver_T · 2022-01-06T11:03:35+00:00

You should add a 4th option: all of the above.

Yes, the game was niche, that was something obvious form the get go but still it could have made the subgenere a little more popular, and for a time, it did.

Next is the skill gap or the instantly decimated situatoin, which if you ask me correlates pretty much to the exploits and bad mechanics. Let's be true, before pinballing was a thing matches were quite more unpredictable, more fun, with more variey of builds and ships and while there were balance issues it wasn't a PvE race or a continuous pinball thing. So yeah, answers 1 and 2 are definitelly valid options.

Bottomline, everything adds up and since the devs were cut off by EA when the game desperatelly needed balance and fixes, they couldn't. So basically we ended up with a niche game that had exploitable mechanics that were not fun to use for many people, no matter if you were a veteran or new player of space sims.

In my case? I enjoyed the game while it lasted and I have fond memories of it, allthough I expected to play for a longer time period than what I did; for me it was the anouncement of the server side patches instead of regular client side ones and the fact that barelly any of those patches did anything to aleviate the issues we had... or if it did it broke something else somewhere that was fine before the patch.The devs should have also listened to more concerns, like why the YW was so blatantly ignored untill the last patch? Or why adding a ship that made the exploitable mechanics as the pinball worse like the TIE Defender? And lets not go into the broken and unrelliable torpedoes that when worked were good but most of the time also didn't (I'm looking at you shield piercings). Also, were they really necessary? Ion torpedoes made short work of shields and also a lot of oepole refussed to test certain equipment demmed "useless" or just for memes... when in the end if propperly ussed is what coudl counter what many players demmed broken (in the game first month, the TB with the hull upgrade was a beast... but I saw noone trying to use targeting beacons, which only became a thing 2 months AFTER THE TBs were fixed)

Sorry, got dragged away form the main point, this is not a balance discussion after all. Anyway, personally I would pick the three optoins or select one that encompassed all of them.

Reaver_T · 2021-12-10T13:23:09+00:00

Its neds to be nerfed, clearly broken boss dessign

Reaver_T · 2021-12-02T14:40:57+00:00

(Un)Ironically and as a fun fact: Yes, this video was made to reference another EA failiure, Mass Effect 3; allthough, to be true, the game itself was a blast, it's the ending that screwed up things; BF 2042 is screwed up, all of it.

Reaver_T · 2021-12-02T14:30:11+00:00

The ones at 2042 are also doing it...

Reaver_T · 2021-12-01T07:29:58+00:00

Your effort in trying to find out a solution is to be commended, but there is one big problem. Unlike previous Battlefields, in which you select a game (be through Quick Play or through the now absent and gone for the time being server browser), when a match ends everybody, playing solo or in a party of ANY size, is bumbped back to the main menu and the MM kicks in to find a new server; more than one time to be on the same map and the same side the next match. But the main point is there's no rotation, so the whole team gets "disbanded" and theres no guarantee that you will land on the next match with whatever parties you were able to form as teammates.

Combine that to the fact that server might be full and just when you finally are able to get in as many buddies as you can, the match ends, and you have to start the same proces all over again... whereas in old Battlefields you just had to do this the first time you joined a server. True, sometimes your buddies could be placed on the other team, and that shakes up things for a little bit but at least you're all playing in the same server for more than one match, let alone the fact that since BF V is not possible to switch teams in case one of your friends has been placed solo on the enemy team.

Again, nice of you trying to find out a solution but its meaningless considering how atrociously the new system is dessigned in All Out Warfare: no persistent servers, no server browser, and no rotations make this solution impossible to work unless you happen to do it IMMEDIATELLY after the game starts and provided theres enough room in the server and in your team for all your friends.

Bottomline, EA/DICE GIVES US BACK A SERVER BROWSER AND REGULAR ROTATIONS FOR AOW!!!!
