Amata LireinSooo... the Fedneck's Diplomatic Corps needs to distance itself from its own government now, huh?

God, I love the FDev's writer team for finally showing the players that the Federation are NOT "good guys"...


Well what can I say? We Imperials are bastards, but at least we are honest bastards.

Edit: also, if you're worried about getting ganked returning to civilized populated space dock at a satellite station with a shipyard and transfer to a more survival friendly ship and then start your turn in journey.


I think that's really appropriate advice.

There's an even better (an canon) quote for it

We Imperials often do get accused of being arrogant and overbearing, but at least we're good at it.

Because the constant warmongering and shady dealings in the past wasn't enough...


There're still too many players out there who are too lazy to/cannot be bothered with reading the codex, so they play "Word Association - Star Trek Edition" resulting in "Federation = Good Guys, everyone else = bad guys".

What's the point reading codex whatever u do in game doesn't make a difference , just grinding and getting ganked or ganking that's the game

Personally, my position is that Federation, Empire, and Alliance are one and the same. Today I'm fighting the Federation, tomorrow if the opportunity to go against the Empire )))) I believe that all three forces are worthy to be defeated. ))

A lot of us don't care who is what as it doesn't really change anything about the game outside of the Galnet articles themselves.

BurstarIf your throttle is zero and your speed is 30km/s you don't show up on radar. Keep in mind this works for both of you.


For a while I thought it works like that, but it actually doesn't. The official manual says:
Ships are automatically visible within a 40 second time horizon, based on the fastest ship’s speed.


So when you slow down to 30km/s, your own scanner range collapses to 1,200km and you see fewer ships around you, but it doesn't make you invisible. I tried this once with my loaned Sidewinder in Deciat, but after a while someone found me anyway.

Hmm, I've not had to rely on this tactic in years so I will defer to your stellar reference. Good to know.

BurstarYou can manually depower your fsd which drops you to normal space without leaving a low wake marker to drop on at the cost of some minor frame damage, thus allowing you to jump away safely to another system most likely farther away than they could possibly follow


AFAIK the only way to suppress a low wake marker is by menu logging. I've never seen any evidence that the effects of depowering the FSD are any different from performing an emergency drop.

Again I haven't had to do this in years so it may have been patched, but, it definitely worked back then. I'll let you know if I find someone to test this either way. o7
