LivewireI have been to systems with a sun and ether no planets or a couple. would these planets have a station at some point or would they stay without one.


I think Renraiku is right. Especially in "the bubble", systems that have some value either already have stations or might get hem at some point. Systems without much value (start without planets, brown dwarfs with only ice planets, non-fuel stars with planets that have no resources) are likely to stay as "fly-over" systems - no stations - unless they are of significant strategic value based on their location to nearby valuable systems.

Some of the COL sector systems I have flown through would be good areas. I am sure that many pilots have seen how many high metal content planets there are, a decent amount of them having pristine rings. That is only looking at it from one angle though.

The problem with branching out too far is that without the protection of a major power and close neighbours for trade, the logistical costs and protection from bandits and such is very high, not to mention expansion takes a lot of resources and time.

There are no doubt many great places to branch out to. The issue is far more complex than simply building something somewhere.

I'd like to see a pirate station (or a pirate megaship) in a system with no planets, just kinda hiding out.

Protection by superpowers?? Baaah, they are useless. A team of skilled pilots can get in, take what they need and get out. All the superpowers are good for is doing senseless crap that gives me a reason to point and laugh.

If a bartending cyborg can figure out a way to start a whole new bubble all on his own, it can't be that tough.

I didn't say Super power, I said Major power.

You are right, apologies.

I stumbled across this one time. I wasn't really in the right ship for it but when I dropped into it I discovered it was exactly that, an installation full of Pirates and fun times.

My T9 escaped in one piece though.

As much as I explored in the past I never saw something like this. Cool find!

I believe it's 128, though that figure was quoted in a forum back in March.
