I’ve been playing for a few hundred hours now and can actually claim to have a solid grip on most of the game. I was selling off activated indium from the farm I’ve set up (about 12m units worth/day which I think is pretty respectable) when I saw a trade item I didn’t recognize in my exosuit inventory. I had a full stack, 50/50. Something called Starship AI Valves. I look at the value for the sale. That moment was one of those moments where you wonder for a split second whether the problem is your eyes or reality itself. 650 million units. So I look them up and see they are the most valuable item in the game, only obtained from scrapping a ship worth more than 50 million. There’s a different thread where someone discovers one in their inventory and is informed that someone must have just given it to them in the Anomaly, and this must be their lucky day.

Here’s my question: did someone seriously just give me the product of fifty scrapped high value starships, completely out of the blue, just to be a nice person? Has anything of this magnitude happened to anyone else?

So, i got this Overseer at my base, he’s a Gek entity. I am doing the base expansion missions and, it was all friends and flowers and all love and respect, but then i went on to gather some Salvaged Frigate Modules by attacking ships, in the Gek system. And by doing that I’m standing at a -111 with the Geks. Now, when i continued the mission the dialogues stated that the Gek entity has some hidden resentment towards me. And when he asked to bring him Mordite, which i did, he straight out said thaat I should remember the bodies I piled in order to create my base. So is it that even NPC allies’ behaviour changes when my standing drops with the race? I’m just curious. I mean it would make sense, but, anyone else has similar experience(s)?
