📝 If you look out your window [System Coordinates in Prime Responses]

System is yellow star, two planets, has a traveller on the space station, not seen the exotic yet, derelict freighter is C class.

I put a small base by the portal I arrived at on this planet, which had the autogenerated name Maput XVI :thinking:

Have now found the system exotic

Ok im wondering what the plan is for naming the systems, as i see some different ideas about how to do it. My prime number currently comes up with,
" …If you look out your window, you will see Kzzzt and KzZzt! " (im not linking their actual names until tower updates my prime with locations)
So does this mean the two locations i should receive are for those other two operators to go claim and name? or do i go to both systems to name and claim myself?

one is for you and the other for your neighbor
If you are joining the MAIN FAM camp, System Name//MAINFAM//Prime ID

i have two neighbours, so 3 total systems between the 3 of us unless those other two have less or more neighbors? So if and when our primes receive locations, do we race to claim the locations or wait to see what system is for what operator for them to come and name themselves?

I have a neighbor but his system does not show when I type in my prime.


but in this instance here you can see they are listed seperately

In the case of having two neighbours it seems pretty clear whose is whose, but I’m still confused for the one neighbour situation.

This is actually showing you Ekimo’s system. To see yours, you will have to type in Ekimo’s prime.

It’s a weird and confusing way they’ve gone with people who have neighbours with anagram primes. Not sure why, maybe to encourage communication and cooperation between operators?

Which means that hell hole you found is actually @Ekimo1920 's? :sweat_smile: :see_no_evil_monkey:

what the crap…but I have already claimed it…I was informed that my prime was up…no one explained this anywhere
I am filing a complaint with @the_architect :joy:

In that case, with no neighbour, whose system do I see, and how would I find mine?

exactly… I am really confused. I want a refund

I think for those without neighbours it just gives you your system, it’s just a strange thing they’ve done with the people who have neighboured primes I think :person_shrugging:

I imagine if you were to suddenly gain a neighbour, the message would change to show a different system, their system. And then your system might move to their terminal message.

We could try science it but since the star system phase started I am not sure if anyone has been able to get a Prime allocated to them.

It caught a few people off guard early on too, I think @Rinha realised it last night after things had quietened down a bit

what if I don’t understand how to know what my neighbors prime is…

I’m glad I am as much of a hermit in the ARG as real life, so no neighbours to cause me confusion.

I would say it would be easy to find out because the sheet tracking them is public, but that got hidden yesterday in case the Reddit post about this phase brought griefers along who wanted to claim systems before the person attached to the prime could get their chance to :sweat_smile:

You could always message Ekimo I guess :grimacing:

I happen to know theirs actually…

Ekimo, right? If you look out your window, you will see SheralMyst there: Mibosole [21990E350968]

well it is too late now…this really should have been stated clearly early on…I am not even gonna look. @Ekimo1920 can take the system and enjoy it but he may owe me something for suffering what should be his fate. :joy:

Maybe this is more testing our community sprit and coordination?

Well I guess since you’ve been looking at their computer screen you must be in their backyard anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

I decided to email system for clarification on the matter (I think some already have yesterday too)

Confused Neighbours

Hey System,

Everyone is enjoying their assigned Star Systems but those with neighbours, especially those with just a single neighbour, have been left confused.

They didn’t realise that the star system next to their neighbours name, was the system that was assigned to their neighbour.

Most of us didn’t realise this was the case until those with more than one neighbour entered their prime into Towers Terminal and got greeted by two hex addresses for systems, one next to each of their neighbours.

Some Operators have mistakenly claimed their neighbours system. It’s led to a few chuckles and diplomatic handovers but I’m wondering for those who may not know their neighbour or their neighbours prime, how will they go about finding their assigned Star System?

Keeping the TRACE,

Todd Umptious

Are we teased about interstellar journeys, jumping from star to star like we do from planet to planet, with visible populated systems around, without going through galaxy map and warping there directly?

As long as System doesn’t shut down with us trapped in our assigned systems… :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Has anyone figured out the purpose of the order that prime coordinates are assigned. I don’t think it’s random as there are specific gaps.

For instance all of the primes around me(31) and @Mafi-143 (13) are assigned at this point, we have been from what it seems deliberately missed. But I could be wrong and just impatient….
