SPOILER: Starbirth (Melody of the Egg arc)

Can I say how much I love that! :heart_eyes:
and the ships come in
“dozens of procedurally-generated variations.”

“Experience rare encounters with mysterious space objects and strange new lifeforms while pulsing through a star system.”

“NPCs now have the potential to hail your communicator in space.
These alien lifeforms often stock specialty items for sale – but some may need assistance, or approach with more questionable intentions…”

RIP Rudger Hauer. It’s nice they got to use his voiceover one more time.

Improved the range of the Exocraft Summoning Station, so that it allows Exocraft to be summoned from anywhere in the system.

Meh, I’d prefer it they’d just make it a ship tech that lets you summon exocraft in the vicinity of the ship…

I’ll definitely be looking forward to those space encounters, though! :slight_smile:

Also, space whales! :grin:

I’m not sure. I’ve only found 2 so far.

When they appeared, I got a message saying something like “Object located - drop from jump to examine”, which apparently meant “slow your ship down”. And I did slow down, and I tried to examine the objects, but I couldn’t do anything with them.
I was in the middle of egg tasks at the time. Once the egg tasks were finished, I went back to have another try, - but the objects had gone.

I’m sure they will turn up again.

Got the message. It was an abandoned freighter. But as I got close, it vanished just like fleets were doing previously.
Also, there is a strange visible “warble” in the space station entrances

I just ran into an anomalous object in space that gave me a 15 digit code.

I just don’t know what to do with this number if there is anything lol

I’ve now been stopped twice in space by Korvax piots wanting me to repair their ships (it’s a Korvax system). Both times they’ve given me a small reward (handful of nanites) for helping.

If it says “await contact” then just use pulse drive in space until you get contacted. :slight_smile:
