Ever meet your frigates while they are on mission… in a different galaxy?
 |
I sent out a frigate mission from near the core of the Hesperius Dimension. Later, I went back to Euclid to take care of some business and happened to notice a bunch of ships in very low orbit. Upon investigation, it turned out that they were my own frigates. The view from the landing pad area was spectacular – the ships were low enough to be subject to the storms and the odd cloud drifting past. After leaving (and off-loading some of their cargo) it occurred to me that a screenshot would be nice. I figured reloading the autosave would allow me to get that photo. Instead, both my starship and frigates were gone and I spawned high in the atmosphere left to free fall down to the planet surface. The image above is from about 5-10 seconds into the drop. From a game development perspective I wonder what this means. The planet is a long way from the core of Euclid and thus doesn't match the mission logs account of where they went (1500 ly or so). The game seems to send them to some random planet anywhere, even another galaxy. submitted by /u/Enough-Marzipan6747 |
