Solar flare caused frequent gas erruptions

Oh. Ooooooohhhh. That makes more sense. WHich would imply environment-dependant planetary surface events. That would be mindblowing! :smile:

Thanks for that, I wish I could like but I’m not allowed to right now. I wonder if solar flares and gas eruptions(possibly in gas giants) will become a thing in NEXT. Possibly new missions for the Korvax(and surely the other two races as well presumably). Beyond that mentions of nanite infested battlegrounds could suggest that’s what we’d get out of killing someone in PvP…at least that’s what it sounds like to me…you don’t just rob them of all they have, you get some nanites. Also ā€œsignificantā€ valuable ore" sounds interesting…could be something new.

Not much else there to chew on.

@sheralmyst Also I think it says at the very top

The list that sheralmyst posted is definitely better than mine. Never trust the ears of a drummer! :smile:

After multiple listenings, I am however quite certain that these are not completely disconnected mutterings. They are an outtake of a ships log on an exploration mission that ends with the ship being damaged and returning home to the fleet. I am very sure that all activities are in past-tense.

Anyone good with spectrographs? Anything to find there?

I would think more like unpredictable geysers on hot planets under certain circumstances. Sounds tons of fun, especially considering that if that is there, it’s probably not the only thing of this kind. Now I’m starting to get excited. Screw multiplayer, give me some emergent gameplay! :slight_smile:

at the end I hear, returned to the fleet assumed formation ā€˜of’ capital ship. Maybe I’m a bit deaf :slight_smile:

I agree, screw multiplayer…but I think the gas eruptions are likely related to gas giants…we’ll presumably be able to fly in them and do…err…stuff? Maybe collect rare gasses and so on…but we’d have to be careful not to get caught up in gas explosions of some sort.

I’d just like to point out that solar flares are gas eruptions. Not to burst anyone’s bubble.

It’s not impossible, but they would have to come up with some pretty clever ideas for stuff to do there. And clouds. They’d basically need the bestest cloud engine ever. Because there won’t be anything but clouds.

I think it says ā€œassumed formation of capital shipā€ā€¦that could mean a number of things…like our freighters being able to have their own convoys of NPC ships, or multiplayer allowing people to warp together, etc…

I think we already heard the new suit voice in element 4. This is just someone reading a log, but with major audio distortions. At least IMHO…

Can someone record the sound file on a Youtube video please so I can hear it and add it to my playlist for posterity?

Not really, no. They are quite often accompanied by material ejection, but not caused by it. The actual flare consists mostly of radiation as well as some particles.

But the quote speciffically ā€œsolar flares cause frequent gas erruptionsā€ā€¦meaning that these are erruptions caused BY solar flares, NOT gas erruptions that cause solar flares…meaning that the erruptions would be caused elsewhere.
