Well then, guess this update highlights a big ol’ multiplayer freighter warping bug!
I may have unintentionally spaced a player myself yesterday. After warping my freighter into a new system, I flew off in my starship to explore. On returning, I noticed another player inside. I greeted them, and they emoted back, but I don’t think they understood me. By their actions, I got the feeling they thought they were in their own freighter. I took off again for a while, but absent-mindedly called my freighter to the planet I was on. I have no idea what happened to the guy, I didn’t see a death message, and he was no longer in the nearby players list. He may have been dumped out when it warped like @jedidia & friends, or maybe even just when I flew out-of-range and it shifted players between lobbies.
I was also surprised to find he’d apparently built a Fleet Control Room and Portable Refiner in my ship! (I didn’t remember new games default to anyone can build in your bases). So this poor dude was probably warped into my freighter by accident thinking he was still in his own, just minding his own business doing the normal fleet questline when whoosh, he’s a Gek-cicle.
Isn’t that alphabet used on some freight crates in-game? Wonder if those say anything sensiblee too. If yes, HG would have been using this for quite a while with nobody figuring it out until they got explicit…
With the community progress having ended, and considering the new content being very spoiler heavy, I made a new topic specifically for all the incoming spoiler content.
IMPORTANT: Update your game before continuing, as having the Myth Beacon prior to updating the game, will prevent the ‘Collective Consciousness’ Milestone from completing
I was in the anomaly as it reached 100% and collected the myth beacon before I knew there was an update. That explains all the glitches I had. I still managed to complete it, but it was a massive pain in the arse. FYI
Edit: now that I think about it, using a space station teleportr triggered the collective consciousness milestone for me. After that though there was still a bit of messing about to get the ship
It changed after I started the d/l to 3.7…go figure…
Can anyone explain how to use the Myth Beacon…I am going to the Galaxy Map as instructed but see nothing…help
Make sure the mission is selected, then check Galaxy Map with the filter set to ‘current mission’. If it does not show where to go, reload game and check again. I have heard reports of the galaxy map sometimes needing a few tries before showing where to go. It should be a system some 500ly away from Rendezvous 1
yup I kept loosing my green trail…thought it was buggen out and just happened to notice it seemed to be doubling back on itself so though hmm I had placed a base at 2nd rendevous… so I warped back and sure enough trail was there again…so it must have had an issue with my engines lol
