I’m no lot lizard, but when you sandbag while boogieing down the boulevard to Wally world, you pick up a few things. 🤣 you guys crack me up. Thanks! ---

Hey gang!!! So I have been playing other games for…a while? A long while? Hard to say because I have been, as usual, totally compulsive about it…anyway… A friend just clued me in that I have missed a pretty large expansion/improvement so I am BACK in the multiverse of mayhem. So far in my new play I have seen…frigate flyovers? That seems cool. Just optics I am guessing, though maybe if my ship is really close I might fly after them at some point just to…well…hmmm…I dunno… Suddenly this seems like a dog chasing cars kind of idea, like, yeah, no idea what to do if I catch them…but… I also notice my ship has cargo slots, which seems new and different. I also seem to be dealing with tougher opposition in ship to ship combat, but that may just be because I am one) out of practice, and two) following through on using the default dlight controls instead of switching to the very much easier to use flight controls and then bitching about how the combat is too easy. Anyway, good to be back in the game, and also great to be here because I remember this forum very fondly. ---

No, combat has definitely gotten more challenging. Which in itself isn’t saying much, I mean, even comparing it to a walk in the park before was stretching it quite impressively. It calls for a bit more thought and a bit more upgrading now. Carry some shield batteries with you (I forget what they’re called properly), or put in a good phase beam, that can also recharge shields quite well. The rocket launcher is also to be recommended, as it has an absolutely devastating effect on an unshielded hull (most of the time one-shotting an opponent with depleted shields), and the rockets seem to have some guidance now, so it’s really not that hard to hit with them. I have found a good phase beam in combination with a rocket launcher to be perfectly sufficient to deal with almost anything the universe throws at me, the only exception really being the sentinels, who recharge shields too fast to get a rocket in most of the time, which is why I found a weapon that does less damage to shields, but can do double damage when hitting from behind to be more effective against them. But do carry some shield batteries if you don’t have a phase beam. I’d consider that non-optional. ---

We also just had an Expediton. > [@Expeditions 6 - Blighted](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/expeditions-6-blighted/7792): > > Expeditions Season 6 - Blighted Expedition Six: Blighted will be commencing soon! A distant galaxy has been terrorised by pirates known as The Blight – and the time has come for their secret to be revealed! Journey across the stars in search of a mysterious treasure in this brand new narrative-driven expedition . Exclusive rewards for this expedition include the battle-worn Outlaw Cape , a friendly wayward cube for your base, a generous assortment of flags and outlaw-themed poste… There is still time to work it. 9 days left so you may want to start right away.

Hi, I used to use a CB Radio while growing up in Puerto Rico, my handle then was Radio Destroyer. This was before BBS’s became a thing, etc. I haven’t done Citizen’s Band since that time, but I’m here because of a game called No Man’s Sky. I saw an article on the game and wanted more information. 👋 ---

Welcome to the forum @tempusthales and thank you for the intro. I still have a CB radio sitting around somewhere and one of those magnetized and really tall antenna. I remember the days when people would have one on in their home and listen to truckers as they drove by. You learned a lot of interesting things especially if you also had a police scanner. I still pull out my shortwave radio once in a while. These days, it almost feels like time travel to lay in bed late at night and listen thru the static of the airwaves. And @jedidia yes, there is a pinned topic somewhere that still introduces you to the forum as ETARC. Emily is still a ghost in the machine. ---
