Hang on, I just realised- I'm still running 1.03... when did the spawn prevention come in?

I found a Ringer right next to an Ares shipyard. And trashed ships *everywhere*. Oh the to-a-first-approximation-humanity! I, of course, immediately did my part to ensure no salvage went to waste. But while rather amusing to find, this suggests that maybe these shouldn't be allowed to spawn next to ...

Is there anything that implies that gate network topology corresponds to realspace topology? Or to put it another way, any reason that a given gate doesn't go halfway across the galaxy instead of next door? Elysium would seem to imply that it is possible, unless you spend the entire game going in a ...

A few more points: Oracus is identified as the threat in the QZ (Maryams) I had a thought that perhaps instigating a breakout might be a way for Domina to encourage the Sterilization Plan, but apparently that is actually well underway already... a bit too much research and I nuke my own pet theory 8...

Wild mass guessing time!

Hmm. Actually, this seems kinda spoily, should we be discussing it in the beginners forum?

[speculation removed pending better location]

OK. I was considering the spoilers themselves to be the closest to inappropriate content you would get from me...

I don't think we really need the spoilers for posterity, so they're gone now.

But you killed no phoboses. :P Kind of went "right, got enough longzhus now" and skipped over most of post-Point Juno. But I rezzed my save and went and killed a Phobos. Happy now? 8-) ...

That would actually indicate a balance error. You should require level 9 gear for station saving in Heretic. Hey I had some L9 gear, just not shields or reactors... Or maybe the sentinels should just defend themselves if you fire on them instead of completely ignoring all ships until the stations a...

OK, now I *officially* have superhuman piloting skillz: --- KAYPY Black Market rank Civilian Commonwealth Fleet rank Master sergeant Commonwealth militia rank Colonel Domina relationship Adept Fate Left Human Space on a journey to the Galactic Core Genome Human male Korolov rank Legend Score 605,830...

I would have thought this would be an obvious choice, but you only get 'Destroyed the fortress...'

That may be the question, but according to my experiments, the answer is "yes"

Ok, it is possible to deal with Heretic with a SN2500... But since I debug-spawned my equipment and jumped straight to the end system I need a vanilla playthrough before I claim my superhuman piloting skillz

I'd argue that the Hyperion isn't an issue anyway- you mainly get it from the Ringers, and they don't care if you are military or not. Its the 500MW mark that is hard- the only guaranteed way to get one is via the CSCs, and pretty much all the shops at that stage of the game *do* pay attention to yo...

I'm trying to follow a consistent style: If an organization has a proper name, then we use title capitalization: Ranx Empire Corporate Hierarchy Sisters of Domina All of the above are proper names. I would argue that the corporate heirarchy seems more like a description than a proper name. Unless i...

I would think the game just doesn't mention station grade reactors because they are far to large to fit into the small starships the player uses. Otherwise we are talking the 24th century equivalent of running an industrial district off a car engine...
