planet shard.

landed my CV at an angle and it wouldn't let me exit the pilot seat till the ship stoped moving. turned off the thrusters and that let me exit, but it placed me into the wall where I was stuck. logged off and back on and I was still in the wall but mostly on the outside of the ship, so i used my backpack to try and move and it eventualy ejected me to the outside of the ship.

I don't see any info about your 7days server. Any special rules or anything? Can't wait for Alpha 16.

Planet: Shard.

Logged in near starter base and was attacked by a large minigun drone that chased me into the building, grabbed ny starting gear and before i could leave the drone had chewed up the base and destroyed the core. went to the other exit to try and flank the drone and had 3 golems waiting for me, killed one then tried the drone but ran out of ammo. by this time there another golem and four spiders joined the party and had me surrounded in the starter base. ran to the admin building, dying a bunch of times on the way. not sure if there are supposed to be that many things around the starter base right off the bat or not.

Admin building. hit the teleporter and it started in the menu then went to the respawn menu like I had died, but wouldnt let me out of the menu. admin building sounds still going on. and i could hear the click of my empty gun when i hit the mouse button. Re-logged and I was in the buidling in front of the teleporter and tried it again in case the first time was just a fluke. No respawn menu, but stuck in the teleporting window, again with sounds in the background and my empty gun clicking when I hit the mouse.

I died more times in 30 minutes than I have the entire time I have been playing this game. tried to make a run for a civillian poi. 7 day horde spawned around me as I was trying to run. finaly got the horde that was camping my backpack to move far enough away to grab it. So the final time i got my backpack back and logged off. I had no ammo and was surrounded by 2 large minigun drones, 4 golems, 6 spiders, and 3 Overseers. That was just what I could count.

oh, just thought of something, what are the rules gonna be about taking over a poi as a base or outpost?

I agree. Civilian poi's are one of my favorite things in the game. I love the exploration and discovery part. and since they are adding so much in 6.0 it should be even more interesting.

I hope the Pirates not being able to hire mercs is not set in stone. Historicaly speaking, when embarking on a large scale operation or needed to set up base of operations and needed the extra gaurds while being established, Pirates would hire mercenary help. Also unless something changes it seemed that the Pirate faction was lacking in numbers and the Ability to hire Mercs could be esential.

I accidently made an underwater base a bit back when I was trying to find a way to access my hydrogen and oxy generators without being exposed. it was mostely under under the water.

I just finished watching the most recent video blog and I havre a question about something that was said regarding the 6.0 server. It was said that Blueprints would be disabled. is this just for Capitol Ships? or everything? as it is I already know I will be going to Wallenstein for all my capitol ships. I have been on everyday working on my ships for 6.0. If i have to build everything else without bluprints that will be a problem for me. I am handicaped with sever nerve damage to my hands, so building takes me forever and is a painfull process. That's why I have been on for around 10 hours a day working on ships ahead of time for 6.0.

so when the 6.0 server starts are there any plans for the Pirates? are we going to band together to combine resources and work on a single vessel or whater we need to get to our starter vessel or homeworld? or is it going to be a free for all race to loot the poi's etc?

I took a break from finishing up my CV and started working on The Hull that Chief Rockie posted. He wanted to see what people did with it and to share the link. I ended up all night working on it and I am wondering what are my options when I finish. Do I just post it to the workshop with a link to Chief Rokie's post? What if I wan't to use it when the server starts up again for 6.0 should I not post it if I am going to use it on the server? maybe post it on Friends only? I'm don't know what the rules are for ships designed for the Server and posting to the workshop.
