Whiplash 1983(Got my little confusion sorted)

"... confounded me long enough.
Why do ship-consoles display (sometimes) Coriolis station puppets with darts on their sides?"

System navigation targeted, Gray/White Puppet with no port entrance locator dart markers displayed.
-
Local targeted (affter drop) (Weapons style lock-on), Orange/Highlight puppet showing port entrance locator dart markers.

Coriolis (Dodo) stations only.


When you drop out of super cruise at a Coriolis station, then target the thing, the holo-figure "puppet" will show arrows pointing to the entrance.

However, if you're savvy you'll notice that all rotating space stations follow the "right hand" rule. With your right hand, curl your fingers in the direction it is rotating, and where your thumb sticks out is where the entrance is.

I hope this helps.

And to add to this, stations that orbit a planet always have their docking bays facing it.

Shifter ZeroWing missions have a fixed payout just like solo missions. if the reward is 5 million. everyone in the wing missions gets 5 million whether they participated or not


I think it's an even split between participants accepting the invite. (correct me if i'm wrong on that).
- (also) All participating wing members must travel to the mission payout location to collect, whether they helped or not .  No remote location wire fund transfer. To bad eh?


nope, ive done several wing missions with my group. if the reward is X amount everyone gets X amount each

Swcc-22never mined about the satellites

ok then lets talk about fleet carriers


Many tens of billions
That's what you need for what you're asking. But for the sake of the argument, let's say FDEV agrees, and makes stations and capital sized vessels available for the players to purchase. What do you think will happen then? Well it's quite simple, the game will turn into a hunt for other players assets and possessions and everyone will try to destroy everyone else's sh1t. Because that's what human beings do in a video game where you can get to enjoy other human being's suffering with little to no consequences in real life.

Would that make this game any better? Therefore i'm asking you, please don't try turning this game into EVE. Please. Let the psychopaths play their game, and let us play elite, where everyone behaves like a person, and anyone trying to hurt anyone else now will get rekt by epic police with very little chances of escape. Deal?

this seems quite contradictory.

also, can we not start in with the bashing of other space games? that already seems to be what 99% of the officials and steam forums are.

To refrain from further indulgences in armchair psychology would also be appriciated. Mental illness and real-life morality aren't determined by one's behavior in a video game.

My guess is that squadron fleet carrier will be a just a different looking form of current megaships. Impossible to destroy, limited services, simply just a forward base of operation. It shouldn't cause any direct conflicts, let's say bigger than any current BGS conflict.

But, it is everything just a pure speculation, as there is nothing outlined officially.

Swcc-22well live planet imagery looking at stars with out moving and live feed back on storms and everything else


But I can see stars without moving from my ship? Why would seeing storms benefit us?
