Mac4playing Horizons on PC I can't even jump to HIP 22460, I get interdicted by Thargoids if I try


I had no trouble jumping in to HIP 22460 yesterday in Horizons. No interdiction, no Thargoids, just a lot of debris fields and some beaten-up megaships.


Really. That's very odd.

I thought I'd seen reports on the Frontier forums, too, that it was inaccessible. I was trying to jump there from Pleiades Sector CW-U b3-2 (home of the Musashi), maybe that made a difference? Or, the situation is already changing? The assumption seemed to be we'd need to get upgraded to 4.0 first, though, for us to gain access. Which made sense to me.

I'm currently at Mammon and on my way to Colonia, so won't be trying again any time soon, I'm afraid. Stay safe, all! o/

Hm. Presumably Odyssey owners playing Horizons already are on 4.0?

If you play on Xbox or Playstation, there's barely anything. It hurts me to say that, but consoles do not have and will not have same stuff as PC version from now on.

I'll just keep playing for sake of bounty hunting and living in a backwater system that has been my "home" for a few years now.

Horizons client 3.8 is same content as consoles. Unless 4.0 is given, Horizons players are equal among platforms.

P.S. The servers are full bananas currently. Probably Frontier is messing something.

Not yet. The launcher entry for Horizons still launches the old client, even if you have the DLC. This is supposed to change in a few weeks.

Reportedly there is a way to force client 4.0 into Horizons mode with command line arguments, but I haven't tried it.

Alex Hoffmannyou get the timing very fast, it´s not so hard. watch some youtube stuff, there you can see

According to the AXI wiki, the shutdown field has an insane radius of 10km!

It seems that I barely avoided a shutdown when I went to HIP 22460 recently. A moment before I escaped from mass lock factor 30 and entered supercruise there was a message about some sort of energy surge. Probably the Goids chasing me deploying their EMP.

From gank evader to Goid evader, lol.

When I do not have field neutralizer and I hear "Energy surge detected"... I just faoff and boost.... Usually, the ship drifts away cold and goids rarely chase it.

And rarely it being catched by field and floating in a hope.

During hyperdiction my cold ships even avoid triggering of shutdown field sometime.

Horizon player, I was already in HIP22460 when the update happened.
Apart from debris fields there was nothing, and especially not the visual of the proteus wave.
I went out and back in the system, and I got the hyperdiction, and still no visual of the proteus wave

You mean it drifts while being shut down?

If I power off the FSD and all the optional internals on my DBX, heat should not exceed 17% even at maximum thrust, according to EDSY. Might be cold enough to avoid detection.

If the plan fails, it'll be my first rebuy on the current save.

Yes, it drifts in FA-Off mode when shut down by a Thargoid. Classic evasion tactics. Boost away, FA Off, and it won't get you if your speed is 430+ (530+ for Basilisk).

Nice one, didn't think of it

It's funny that FA needs to be turned off for this to work. When all the systems are offline, the ship should drift regardless of the FA state.

Yeah, I found this odd and funny too. But, it's Brabenverse and Braben's Physics Laws. You had an experience of 45.3G landing!
