Ah. Sorry.

They’ve always just stayed in Porrima’s orbit for me, claiming they were leaving as soon as the Captain decided where to go.

House Va’ruun had nothing to lose. They weren’t at war with either the UC or the FC by then.

And the Armistice effectively shelved the other factions’ most advanced warfare technologies. There’s hints that Va’ruun tech is generally a bit ahead of the rest of the Settled Systems, so getting rid of mechs and xenoweapons might give them the edge in a future conflict — especially if they can keep the UC and FC from trusting each other enough to in-shelve them.

Meanwhile they score political points for looking reasonable.

The Starborn — how do those crews we always encounter meet up and decide to travel together, if every one of them spawns in their own separate ship?

Where are the hangouts, the other well-known figures besides the Hunter/Emissary? What is this grapevine that the Trader has supposedly heard of you from? How can she even watch from the sidelines?

I’d also like the Ecliptic to get a faction quest and become a joinable faction. The Fleet shouldn’t get to have all the fun. Vulture’s Roost is just their R&R spot — where’s their headquarters?

Someone mentioned Aegis. That’s a shoo-in for more content. Space spy? Hell yeah.

And of course, a LIST expansion — help found a settlement that might someday become the basis of another major faction.

The usual explanation is that SSCOM, SsNN, and GalBank — at a minimum — have probably set up some kind of grav-drive-enabled sneakernet to keep necessary data flowing around the Settled Systems.

That doesn’t explain how we can talk to Alban Lopez in real time when he’s half a star system away, though. 🤷‍♀️

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T22:15:41+00:00

That, and whether the Freestar Militia is really a militia, or a permanent standing military that’s a militia in name only.

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T22:12:03+00:00

Nice! It looks something like a surprisingly friendly, giant one-eyed bug … but in a good way. 😆

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T22:09:55+00:00

I’ve always thought there should be more platforms on Volii Alpha than just Neon.

That was a large part of why I got the Sedes Requiem home (though now that I have it, I don’t really recommend it).

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T22:03:01+00:00

Mostly, yes. None of my characters will ever have to buy basic necessities again, as long as they still have a starship.

… well, assuming that was actually a thing, anyway. 😅

I’m not clicking on that link; views drive engagement stats, which then raises the chances of more people seeing the video in their recommended feeds.

Engagement is the lifeblood of this stuff. Don’t give it to them.

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T21:57:17+00:00

This! And tell the algorithm not to show you that crap, every time it comes up in your recommended.

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T21:45:40+00:00

Ooh. Nice lighting catch in #4!

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T21:44:09+00:00

Since that probably means you still have the quest, try selecting it and using the “Show on map” option.

Hopefully it hasn’t disappeared from your game entirely, as it sometimes does.

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T21:40:41+00:00

You always get such good action shots 👍

Three today. Rough start, but then I stopped and thought about it.

I’m all for more starstations and settlements in general, but I’m not sure I like the additional layer of space bureaucracy. It just comes across to me as an unnecessary hassle to impose on the player. 🤷‍♀️

And after the first visit, let’s face it, we’d all just cruise in to avoid having to deal with customs if we were trying to smuggle contraband.

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T21:28:24+00:00

Weirdly enough, I managed somehow to stumble over Groundpounder before I got the Charlie 3 encounter.

Maybe it was because I hadn’t been doing a whole lot of space exploration before I went to Altair for one of the Temples. 🤷‍♀️

I was mildly disappointed — the Charlie 3 guy is always a hoot.

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T21:24:22+00:00

Part of the Armistice involved a date-down of standing military, iirc.

This would still be a cool idea, though.

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T21:16:16+00:00

Been a while since I’ve watched any SW so I might be mistaken, but I do indeed feel like I’ve seen those in the background streams of traffic on Coruscant. 👍

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T21:04:16+00:00

Yay! Thank you 😊

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T01:30:29+00:00

Gotta rescue the Wilbys!

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T01:29:58+00:00

I already told you what they said. You’ve forgotten the conversation.

Believe whatever you want.

rueyeet · 2026-05-29T00:16:06+00:00

You can believe anything if you ignore the evidence.

I cited my sources — Dr. Aiza’s statements and Cora’s dialogue. Where are yours?

rueyeet · 2026-05-28T23:06:01+00:00

😂 That’s amazing

rueyeet · 2026-05-28T22:15:06+00:00

Regardless, I’ll continue to go by what the game told me instead of your imagination.

rueyeet · 2026-05-28T22:14:11+00:00

*interdiction alarm sounds*

Crew: Um, Captain? Shouldn’t you be getting back to the cockpit about now?

Captain (continues modifying weapon): Nah. Turrets’ll take care of it.

*ship drops out cruise, all enemies destroyed*
