I haven’t however I will do that in shattered space.
I’m just moaning, my experience is more the Baader-Meinhof type situation (red car syndrome). I have had so many great encounters with the recent update, its just not been these great space ones. Kinda luck of draw I think
This is just my own observation, so take it for what it’s worth, but I think the frequency of derelicts is a variable that’s set once at the creation of your universe.
I’m in my eleventh or twelfth NG+ universe, I forget which, and I feel like I’ve had universes ranging from them being quite frequent to my current one, where I don’t think I’ve seen a single one in well over 100 hours.
Had a random ship encounter yesterday but im spoiler tagging it just in case anyone gets annoyed by not coming across it yet. It’s not story related whatsoever or anything like that. It’s simply a random ship encounter with a distress call. I’ll leave it at that.
When playing yesterday, I had a random encounter of a distress call but the guy calling for help and all of a sudden you hear some static and a lady gets on. Turns out it was I think the Crimson Fleet hijacking the ship and what was cool was that all the ship’s systems were down (in the red under the ship’s health bar) and one by one they started getting them back online so I had to take out that ship before it finished. Was pretty cool. Enjoyed that. As for the guy calling for help, im assuming that he was killed on the ship. No way to know for sure but oh well.
I’ve had something similar but slightly weirder to actually play lol:
I found a derelict ship with power fluctuations. When I boarded it to loot it, I found the Crimson Fleet already on board, left behind after it jumped away from their actual ship due to the power issues. It was clearly meant to be a shooting gallery - but I’d just completed the mission where I joined the Fleet so they were instead just standing around chatting and ignoring me while I plundered it (then left them stuck on it lol, despite all their logs / chats about being stuck)
HAHAHAHAHAHA. That’s fucking hilarious. Haven’t had that since im only 25 or so hours into the game. I might actually be loving the game more now than I did back when I put in almost 200 hours total back in September. Loving the gameplay options. I do wish I had the buggy though already. lol
You could be onto something; I wasn’t aware of how randomized the different universes actually are with some of them truly unique (hopefully that isn’t a spoiler)
We are expecting a dlc announcement, have gotten qol improvements(likely to get more) and mods should be on their way. I guess it shouldn’t be that big of a surprise that a lot is going on in the background.
True, but maybe more than we expect. Expansion is a fact, mods should be announced soon, a patch is always in the works. But maybe something else, although I’ve no idea what.
I just realized that the Xbox show is three days before Bobby Katz’ birthday. I wonder if a) they’ll even do anything on his birthday, and b) if they ARE doing something, will they say anything on the show during the Starfield part of it.
I hope they do do something, and I hope they don’t say anything and let it be a surprise. I know I for one will definitely seek him out to see if there’s at least some new dialogue options.
And for those who have no idea what I’m on about: Bobby Katz is a side character you meet in New Atlantis. As with so many things in this game there’s a bit of an ongoing story there, one I wouldn’t be too surprised to see tied in to the upcoming expansion, but one small aspect of that ongoing story is that his birthday is on June 11th and he for some reason has got it in his head that the whole city will celebrate it.
Would be interesting if he turns out to be a Va’Ruun infiltrator with his parents being agents. Maybe even a Va’Ruun Starborn, to explain why someone so young would be infiltrating.
To what end though, who knows, maybe it will do with dlc.
