Burn The Bubble | Elite Dangerous
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 мар 2021
- Today, The Pilot explains why humanity needs to burn it's house down. In order to better explore the galaxy, we need to Burn The Bubble. Like every other time in human history, we need to be forced to change and adapt, so we can become greater than we are. The Elite galaxy needs to burn...so we can finally discover it. #Burnthebubble #EliteDangerous

Everyone out here burning the bubble. Not even considering blowing the bubble to make more bubbles
Sounds frisky.
Flawless victory
I know Bubbles. He's the only clown I know who is actually always happy.
I knew a guy who blew bubbles once, hes still in therapy and that clown is still in prison.... >_>
@@RageOfTheJester 😆
IF we could be allowed to create stations for Player Factions outside 'the bubble', take a LOT of resources , that would extend things somewhat.
Or allowed to... destroy stations...
Or allowed to... drop asteroids to planets kapp
F Dev could take some pages from Eve online in this approach. Player factions taking ownership of non-empire space with their own build able structures.

This could easily be an expansion trailer for Elite, and I wouldn't think twice about buying it.
Y'know what. THIS is a game I'd play. Current Elite? Not really. But THIS? Hell yeah. You'd have a actual endgame-level activities - supporting the expansion of human civilization.
...and look at what just happened.
Be careful what you wish for, eh?

We need to unite fleet carrier owners to build a player created bubble in the black
We in the Odyssey Galactic Expedition are thinking about it ourselves
great idea. i always viewed FCs as micro stations. a bunch of organized FCs would be great in helping getting CMDRs out of the bubble.
How would the economy work? Can you have a player based economy there?
@@Kuldirongaze1 u will have shuttle carriers to bring mined items from the black back to the bubble. its a complex network to get it running but it can be done.
I tried that, it lost traction very quickly
@@Kuldirongaze1 theoretically, yes. Though it would mean ferrying mined goods to the bubble from whatever cluster of space you’re settling In.
Burn the material grinding for engineer is what I say.
word.
burn all selenium and anything associated with it
no, just make it an "you unlock thw G5 once and can then go on witb you day, just need to get the mats once"
i also think i killed 2 of them 1 with alcohol and the other with cancerous cigars
nah keep the mat grind when you have a fully engineered corvette and can go into a threat 6 with pirates and wreck the whole lot theres no better feeling! i love my fully engineered ships LOVE THEM no game makes me feel like that and its so much easier now than it use to be
wake up Samurai, we've got a bubble to burn

@@Pizzanator-gp2bb no, mass death is wrong
Let it burn, and in the ashes new seeds of discovery will thrive...
I was just thinking about this. The game needs to evolve into a community driven universe.
Too bad the background is run on simulation and not interaction.
I agree, but it just ain't happening. Every time the community does something beneficial, FDev shuts the door. They won't give up control.
At first i thought the game was a community driven universe.
That's been popped
I would love to see that ability added for players to spend credits and maybe some resources too in order to found a new settlement on a planet of any system and the more missions that are done at the settlement the bigger it becomes and if enough settlements are founded in a system all the settlements work together and build a new space station in the system.
We should be able to pool credits together so that instead of one person paying like 10 billion credits, 100 players can each pay 100 million
That is an excellent idea.
When he reached the new world, Cortez burned his ships. As a result, his men were well motivated.
i attacked one of the farragut's orbiting earth literally days before this series of attacks

As the Thargoids start attacking The Bubble this week -- I've come around to get caught-up in videos that I've missed. The timing of clicking on this video now...*Priceless*
Are there plans to expand humanity after the war? Or is the timing good just because the Thargoids are burning the bubble
Imagine a station in one of those Lagrange clouds.
This is what I want.
@@ThePilot_ I want to be able to build a station in the upper clouds of a gas giant

THIS. Give us an engineer on a station that, instead of a fusion reactor, catches the lightning arcing through the nebula to keep itself online. Give us more things to see than the same, black starscape.
@@cmdrmaskime star citizen has like 3 systems what are you on
Just dropped in to say, it looks like this is finally happening! Miss your uploads and streams. Hope all is well with you!
If you've ever read Isaac Asimov's Robot series, this is a central plot point in the last book, "Robots and Empire," which leads to the founding of the Galactic Empire, much later - with the anchor that is the old world cut free, humans have no choice but to continue searching out other safe harbors, and do so at an exponential rate. I think you're absolutely right, and I love your concept for how that could play out- especially since we already know the groundwork for this sort of narrative has already been laid out in lore and in the game's galaxy (Salome/ Formidine Rift).
when I first started playing this game late last year, I zoomed out on the Galaxy map and I was amazed with how large the world was. I was wondering how many people would be living in the stations on the other side of it. Once I found out civilization ends quite quickly, I was quite dissapointed.
Still does not stop me from playing the everliving fuck out of it
Is this an accidental AOT quote?
Elite Dangerous is missing this so much.
Exploration and Expansion always went hand in hand.
From the first camp that the pioneers set up, growing into harbours and cities, to jump deeper into the unknown from there.
But we never got the tools, so we were not explorers, but passerbys, doomed to return home or be travelling forever, alone.
This is the reason why I only help Sol, I don't care about the other systems in the bubble, I just help Sol because it's OUR home. o7
And the iconic Lave for history and brandy.

I only hep the Feds for Holy Terra!
Late 3308: Several Maelstroms appear to have subscribed to your newsletter. Behold the Burning Bubble! 😬
I feel a "Burn Jita" type movement is in order.
This gave me major inspiration for a sci-fi world-building project!! I like both the idea of small & isolated governments but also of grand interstellar empires. So perhaps there was once a grand bubble that burned into smaller, more isolated empires, in a cycle of expansion, growth, reunion, and more burning! >:D
Your videos are why I'm giving ED another chance. Why I'm aiming to be an explorer. So I can see all the wondrous sights you showcase. Thank you.
I'm down with the nmla causing a war that destroys everything. Because I really want odyssey to feel like the wild west, a complete power vacuum and no old major power left standing
Or they are still around, just not in the scale they used to be. Perhaps we could see some small remnant factions who either cling to the old ideals, or twist and pervert them. I think that would be interesting as well.
Nonono! Not yet!
I still don’t have the faction engineered modules unlocked!!!!!
I wouldn’t mind a galaxy that felt more like firefly, vast and dangerous, with pockets of civilization of various sizes throughout
Core worlds! Outer territories! Exactly.
With an extreme dedication, you should be able to convert fleet carriers into make shift stations. With more dedication, you should be able to purchase a starport which is fitted with a one time use jump drive, or convert said make shift stations into fully fledged ones.
I agree with most of this video's points. Great work Cmdr.
I love that NAMBLA (or whatever) uses "Thargoid corrosive based" bombs to burn stations - so that Frontier didn't have to design any new assets and could reuse the ones they had for Thargoid-attacked stations.
Eh it's fine for that to be a little lazy. Their focus is on Odyssey stuff so I'm frankly happy to be given anything at the moment.
“Some pilots, just want to watch the bubble burn.”
Dude... I’m trying to go to bed.
We’ve seen the dedication of traders and explorers, think it’d be extremely cool and important to allow players to run micro governments. Or at least build their own stations. The dedication of traders and explorers would now be rivaled, and that’d make players want to strive to support who they want to see rise to power and let others fall. I think the addition of fleet carriers was elite devs way of hinting at us that something bigger is coming.
I wrote this before watching the video and very pleasantly surprised at how much I agreed with pilot on this one.
I joined this game today with the supposition that if I were smart enough, I'd one day be able to help establish some kind of... SOMETHING, on the far side of the galaxy. Seeing this has made me a little depressed - I thought there'd be something out there to reach. And maybe there is, in the form of new planets and stars, but what for? Do I want to scoop fuel off of suns for 600 days of gameplay just to reach a remote location where I can't build anything for others to see, contribute to, or even destroy? I know I'm signing up for "space money simulator" but awkwardly I expected more than fatter ships. Perhaps I did myself, and this game a disservice in doing so however. Idk.
Yeah all of that sound great in theory, but realistically:
Engineers would have to move, material farming spots would be less accessible, technology brokers would be terrible to find, material traders would take forever to be implemented in the new stations... Just look at the Pleiades.
I've been for a long time an advocate for Elite being more cutthroat in it's approach, having more risk involved in it's gameplay in general, and also be *primarily* player driven. But for that to happen Elite needs to acknowledge problems that most of it's player base is *unwilling* to accept.
After over 7 years of playing since closed beta testing, doing in-depth tutorials for engineering and explaining flight mechanics and overall game knowledge with people from my countrie's community, I've come to realize that the biggest thing holding Elite down might not be just FDev, but the majority of people that play the game.
EDIT: MAYBE you can have some kind of ferry system, where you constantly have large ships going from "old" bubble to "new" bubble every other day, so it gives players a way to travel long distances in a convenient and short amount of time. That still doesn't address the biggest issue though.
All the solo'ers as well. More power to anyone that plays that way, if you enjoy it so be it. But Elite being an MMO where a large portion aren't doing the second M part isn't helping.
I like your idea. I would like to be able to move into a abandoned surface base. Then set it up to trade or maybe set it up as a repair and rest stop.
For completely different reasons I agree I want to create a faction who just fucks off to another part of the galaxy and makes a great nation that just doesn't have to deal with the bubble guys
Where do i sign up?
Hey, it worked in the Battletech universe...
Sounds like the Empire V2
I've found my "Favorite system" 11k LY from the Bubble. I'd love to be able to make a station out there.
Like, comment, share. Everything we can to make it trend, guys. Borrowing some EVE is something I heard for a while concerning Elite, and I worry that this idea might be more than a fun suggestion for the health of this game's community.
It sounds like an awesome idea and an awesome progression for the game. All out war between factions could be the spark to ignite the bubble. Maybe a coup where imperial leaders escape the bubble and end up settling 10kly away to generate a new hub around some very lucrative mining planets/rings... Maybe the alliance, focused on combating xeno re-establish themselves elsewhere
The worry I have about "burning the bubble" is two-fold, depending on what route they go.
- If they don't massively increase jump ranges, we're not gonna end up with a wide array of new microbubbles, we're gonna end up with one bubble everyone spends their time in just because of populations of players naturally glomping together.
- If they *do* massively increase jump ranges, the galaxy is going to feel far, *far* smaller, and that's not a good thing imho. It means even more of the galaxy becomes effectively flyover country, systems nobody goes to because it's between points A and B.
wait wait hold on a second what was that about an imperial strike team pretending to be nmla?
Yeah.. HOLD UP WHAT!?
If you watch his streams he explained it
It might actually be true. Canonn Research has records of Serene Harbour, an imperial intelligence detention facility, and the logs left behind suggests that Theta Seven, which took credit for the bombing, is involved with the empire somehow.
@@w3yr was prisoner keeped there, whos people kill all imperial guards there
Obvious anti-Imperial propaganda, likely from the Federation.
This is the one place where EVEonline shine and ED should rip off all their best ideas for low sec.
Frankly, I'm probably a minority in this, but I left EVE for E:D exactly because I hate the cliche separation of EVE, and I hate how EVE force ALL player to be part of it, and I love E:D exactly because it doesn't have those.
@@PaiSAMSEN ED has solo and small group for that, but why shouldn't players be able to haul parts out into the middle of no where and setup stations and colonies outside of what the devs make.
Besides there is so much more empty space in DE you could still lose yourself in deep space and never see another ship for years if you wanted.
@@GeoFry3 because its unrealistic In booth the Logic out of universe, and in universe for a single commander, or even a GROUP of Commanders, heck, maybe even ALL commanders currently ACTIVE and INACTIVE together, to reasonable deploy outpost, or god forbid actual Starports or colonies.
then there is the problem of the superpowers, the ONLY reason why the pilot federation is mostly left alone is do to their neutrality, and because they themself only have "limited" systems, and no plans to expand to begin with.
That Neutrality would be shatterd if Pilot federation members, be it sanctioned or not by the Pilot federation would start forming their own colonies, be it as small as it may be. I assure you, the Federation and the empire would not want a second third or fourth alliance to form, possibly snatching valuable resources away.
now you would bring in colonia, and how that was "basicly founded by player trough community goals" but the difference is, colonia was founded by actual indipendent factions, the Pilots only provided support with compensation. As well as it being SO far away from their Seat of power that they cant make a reasonable claim about it.
and that even ignores the Economic problems of this suggestion in universe, its unlikely that a Single small colonie would be self sustainable fast enough to not require enourmes ammounts of resources almost daily, a Trader using a Megaship would not reasonably take the journey to some small colonie because its not profitable, meaning you/other commanders would have to regularly ship supplys there enmass, or it just fucks on realism and just claims its self sufficent imidiatly.
and once again we CMDR are a SMALL Percentage of the Eniterty of the galaxys population, a Single starport wold cost Trillions upon trillions of credits just in resources alone
Outpost may be cheaper, but they are even less sustainable long term etc
@@weberman173 you ever tried power play? It could literally be a part of that system, where you help your chosen power expand outwards. I serve Arissa Duval, and nobody else, all my stations would naturally be under her control.
You mean have a game world that actually expands, contracts, merges, separates, and just otherwise changes in general, heavily based on what the players themselves actually do? What blasphemy is this? And the work involved to actually make such a thing happen actually getting done? Hah!
..Sigh, if only. Seriously. If only. I might be inclined to play more then a few hours every few months again. I would love to see that sort of thing happen.
To be completely fair to FDev, they're relatively small in the grand scheme of things. Sure they're no indie development company but they're not exactly a behemoth. People keep asking them to make things, to pull them selves in 100 different directions, but they just don't have the manpower. This sort of gameplay, as cool as it might be, would be a problem that would arguably require more manpower than frontier can spare to the project. I'm not saying they're above criticism, I'm just saying people have glorious expectations that likely won't be met.
This is exactly why I think they're burning these stations. I've always said they should be slowly expanding the bubble, the superpowers spreading out, gaining new lands and systems, not trading station control back and forth. With new stations there is room for more BGS, more warring and more opportunities. I think eventually you'll see player factions being able to control systems for a certain amount of time then being able to start building star ports. That would make this game great. They could even tie it into BGS and power powerplay and say you've held the system uncontended for 1 month, then you have a fleet carrier show up to with delivery missions, do the delivery missions and after 2 weeks you see a star port being constructed, now, defend this while it being created, 2 weeks later there's a star port. Depending on the amount of deliveries and defence the faction has done you'll have a port with certain things like shipyards or outfitting, if its successful. If you're not successful you get one without those things. Its doable. I'm sure.
Awesome concept, I would love to see what would happen if this was implemented.
I hear you, and hope it happens too. Burn the bubble. If staying in "controlled space" isn't much better for visuals than climbing a hill outside town with my telescope, that's kind of a problem imo.
We need player-built space stations and settlements that require the same upkeep as all the other NPC stations. We need a way to create those resources used for maintaining the bubble from player-built industry and factories. We need ways for large groups of players to get together as a single unified group of explorers, colonizers, industrial moguls, traders, private security forces, or pirates to influence the galaxy in more ways than running delivery missions for a faction until they start a civil war that you never get to see happen.
Of course, this event ended a friggin' year ago but still, it's nice to dream sometimes.
I wish to be a long range explorer for a mining flotilla. Finding untouched asteroid belts, or systems with multiple planets with rings… and basically strip mine them. Then purchase the supplies to build our own planetary base, with wings of T-9’s dropping off metric tons of low temperature diamonds. How glorious would that be?
Honestly a neat idea but idk how easy this would be to do developer wise? And all I can think about is all those jumps it took me to get to colonia in a dedicated explorer, how would this affect combat ships, are they limited to staying in one mini bubble or would there be ai fleet carrier type trains? Idk what I'm sayin tbh I just came back to ED recently. Great vid, who knew u could sell me on letting people burn in a station
Also that comment about having to have an alt hit home even for engineering I'd have to get everyone unlocked before considering living in colonia. I love it out there, but it's hard to stay out there when the story and all the "important stuff" is at the bubble. For now at least I'd like some more attention to colonia to make it more viable for newer people to live in maybe? It's so pretty out there but I feel like you can't viably live out there unless you're endgame?
It wouldn't be hard to setup "bus routes" between bubbles. We already have megaships that do that. Not to mention the literal thousands of player owned fleet carriers that would volunteer to do the same thing.
@@ThePilot_ I had no idea about the megaships, and with fleet carriers I've just been thinking they're too slow but that's probably wrong? I've only used one to bring some modules and ships to colonia from bubble and it took 3 days. Also the mini bubbles probably wouldn't be 20,000lys away from each other.
This is one thing that EVE:Online had going for it; all the major hubs were player generated.
“Well yes, but actually no.” Never have I simultaneously agreed and disagreed with something so strongly in my entire life.😅
I've been exploring for months and months, just about a year ago I left the bubble and have never looked back. Great video. I prefer my alone time. I get cranky when I go to my home port of Colonia, Jaques Station and watch the chat. I just want to tell them to leave! Although I never play open I can still watch the chat. When I first arrived at Jaques Station, I pretty much had the place to myself. Now I have to share it. Time to find a new alone space I guess :)
As a new player little more than a few weeks into playing... I have no idea what is going on...
Elite has serious content issues. The game has been out since 2014, and has only drip fed new content since. Most of the introduced systems were met with serious controversy; engineering, capital ships, power play, area... the list goes on.
I look back on my time in elite as some of the most interesting and rewarding hours spent gaming in my life, but being perfectly honest, those hours felt hollow in a way that frustrates me to this day. I was able to buy all the ships, engineer some of them to peak performance, grinded away getting credits... and for what? I didn't have any meaningful impact in the game world. I didn't participate in a satisfying communal experience. Mostly, I just interacted with menus and flew through empty space. There are highlights for sure; your first thargoid encounter, surviving a big fight, seeing a unique vista... but those moments are fleeting and scarce.
Elite is a fantastic game. For a while. After that, it's just frustrating, mostly because the DNA is THERE for it to be a truly amazing game like no other, but it lacks the support from its devs to truly grow into its potential. The new expansion is right around the corner, and unfortunately it looks like it's just going to be more of the same, but this time with legs on the ground.
welcome to ED
Enjoy that feeling while it lasts. Seriously.
Korg voice: "the revolution has begun!"
The percent of the galaxy explored will never increase until a visual means of telling which systems have never been visited by anyone from those that have. Many of the ones that have been visited have not been fully explored either.
If that happens only veterans would be likely to discover these undiscovered systems. I just started a couple weeks ago and have already discovered over 300 virgin systems. If your idea is implemented then all the decked out exploration ships would expand out, starting with the closest systems, making it harder and harder for new explorers.
Gankers Wet Dream. Bubble Gone. Everyone densepacked into Colonia. Space GTA is not coming soon. No base building. No ShipJacking. No Densepacking. Drool for it all you will.
Man, small bubbles seems like such an awesome idea!! Imagine having each superpower having smaller bubbles throughout the solar system.
The Pilot is Best Elite Dangerous content creator: CHANGE MY MIND.
It's not like there isn't enough room do expand. Heck even a continuing conflict would be nice to get involved in. Not this on again off again conflict with the Thargoids.
The space is vast and full of wonders. Now that there are commanders with many billions of credits and nothing to use them for, I suggest adding a mechanic for players collectively investing in having stations built anywhere they want. Even if you had no control of the station afterwards, people would still do it. Micro-bubbles could get built this way.
I guess you got what you wanted, the bubble burns.
I said it before, I will say it again:
Player-owned stations.
Let me buy myself a station and put it somewhere towards SagA* as a stepping stone for travellers.
Let me build my Coriolis starport and let me decide what I put in it, and don't tell me I have to pay some monthly credits when the thing on its own is proven to be self-sustainable.
Let me bring my people and my own workers and shape it to be the economy I want it to be.
first of all, its likely that a single coriolis Starport would cost trillions in credits and resources, something that would just escalate the Deflation of
Credits(as in how a player sees a credit, not what ac redit is actualy worth)
second "self Sustainable" Dosnt mean "dosnt require Maintenance or repairs" self sustainable just means "it can provide the air, water and food its inhabitants require internaly"
YES! ALL MY YES!! DISRUPT THE STATUS QUO! DISTURB THE STAGNATION!! *BURN THE BUBBLE!!*
Goosebumps...or at least there would be if FDev took this seriously and implemented it, then forever grateful to...The Pilot.
Totally. I had the same reaction and got chills thinking about all the possibilities and expansive gameplay that would result. E.g. CGs don't run for a week, but rather things only happen when a threshold is actually reached; like an expansion mission wouldn't be a binary option created FDev, but rather opportunities seeded all over would attract certain player bases to move the galaxy in the direction of the most active gameplay...
I agree. Having straight up galactic wars from different bubbles would be amazing.
Great video; great concept.
Separate bubbles with their own bubble-specific ranks, engineers, weapons, outfitting, shipyards, commodities markets...
This inspires me to go out and explore tons of distant systems for weeks at a time in the name of future expansion!
I just started playing like 3 weeks ago and I fully agree with you. The most fun I’ve had was getting enough money to buy an asp and A/D rate it and discovering virgin systems. The black calls to me.
I just want a better bgs for when space legs come. Let me be the main character of Dune.
I mean, Odyssey is getting close and this whole "likely war brewing between the federation and the empire" seems fortuitously placed for this.
But making the player character the main character? Unlikely, given all lore in the game points to the player character being one of a, in the grand scheme of things, small number of lucky people who were gifted a sidewinder by the pilots federation, but beyond that has limited impact.
@@tomasmurphy9888 why not stretch the limitations? It would be good for the future. I mean I'm not talking galactic impact. Just planetary. Small impact on the galactic scale(microscopic even) unless the planet is rich in spice. Add history to planets. The battles that took place. The heroes of such battles. Not into exploration but still want your name in the history books of the game? Well now you can young Paul.
This game has so much potential, why not reach for it?
I'm not saying that sort of stuff is impossible, I was more arguing against the concept of making the player the "main character"
@@tomasmurphy9888 probably not the most accurate term, but it wasnt meant to be literal. Or at least not in the way you're interpreting it. I still think you can be the main character shall you be the hero of certain battles or war depending on the amount you've contributed. Have logs in the planetary description of the battles/war that have taken place on the planet. Contribute enough, be the hero of said war and have your name in that log with those involved in the war. This game has no narrative, so the being the main character depends on your imagination relevant to your contribution in taking over a certain planet/liberating certain faction(s). Shall it be delivering supplies, destroying enemy supplies and equipment, espionage, or kills in battle.
Being the main character depends on the personal narrative of your imagination. But the system has to be in place for such personal narrative to develop.
Remember how it was, four or so years ago before the Thargoids finally arrived, when we all thought that the bubble was going to get wrecked and humanity would have relocate elsewhere? When the storyline of the game was seemingly setting up Colonia and the Formidine Rift area to be our new refuge until we learned how to beat the bugs? That era of Elite Dangerous history was the last time that the game was fun for me.
I played this game for about 6m before parking my ships. I'd like to see Elite move towards the route of what X2/X3 (maybe X4) where players can build their own facilities for trade. Mining stations, food processing plants, energy plants, etc. where we can trade in resources we created or created by others and use those resources to, as you say here, create new bubbles or expand existing ones. While it would be a level of management that many players wouldn't want to partake in, I feel it would give players more options to enjoy the game.
Good idea.
We should create a new bubble, by sending lots of fleet carriers.
That will create an entire new economy.
Like: Import carriers, Tritium miners, all made by players.
Charles that is your second greatest plan
@@BOman9999 yea
New engineer:
Name: Unknown
To unlock: All other engineers unlocked
Skill: Building your own Station
(System requirements to allow build TBD)
well, one year later, this is actually happening.
As an explorer, I 100% agree and are intrigued by your suggestions. I myself am even going to try and setup a tritium depot/player bubble in the future with my carrier as my forward operating base
If we had player-created stations, we would have multiple bubbles, or even just a series of outposts
Love the idea of competition CG's for parts of space. And each power has their individual buble that they try n expand.
Pilot, the same has been said about every game. The sand box has edges and always will. No matter the scale, that edge gets felt and annoys. Frontier could push the sand box out to include 30 galaxies, but you would have the same complaint that the sand box has an edge.
Yesss... I've been saying this since I started playing! They just need to set us FREE. There is so much potential to spread, and hit on all the points you made.
Exploration is why i'd like to see more than one commander per account. I like exploring but I don't like to just explore for possibly months at a time.
BURN THE BUBBLE!
I think that all of that will happen as soon as players will be allowed to place their own stations and maintain them with raw materials through player-driven economy!
But why is explored less then 1% of the galaxy? Because every explorer I know, came to the system, honk, fires FSS, finds that nothing "valuable" is there and going to the next system right away. So, 99% of the system stays unexplored because it's not profitable nor easy to complete.
I have something over 140 hours in Elite.
Around 20 of those hours we spent in the bubble, all other hours were spent in deep space until I reached Colonia, so funny enough I don't actually know what it's like in the bubble, I spent so little time actually in it I've somewhat forgot.
Thargoids: "And we took that personally"
I’ve been living outside of the bubble for about 8 months now, me and my Phantom, Eurydice are currently it in Aquila's Halo, and I’d love to have somewhere other than an occasional stop to Colonia to repair
i wish the devs had the balls to burn the bubble
make the thargoid cold war run hot, humanity looses and starts a massive exodus, close the whole event with introducing proper player faction and the abillity to colonize systems
I dont understand how not repairing the stations compared to repairing the stations would lead to an accurate separation of the bubble, dividing the powers to simply expand over much further distances. IRL something like that would be catastrophic and just leading to more battles on who gets to keep the original fortified bubble and that victor would be LEAUGUES ahead of every other bubble that would appear. I think the only thing that could accurately happen is the appearance of other factions. Feds, Empire, Alliance, Space Dinos, Shippy McShipface, and the fearsome A.N.A.L. faction, and things and such
Do u know what I want? A proper thargoid invasion
Well, you're getting that now it seems. Lol o7
Burn it! *clap* Burn it! *clap* Burn it all down! *clap* Burn. It. All. Down!
Yeah, if fdev had more vision about the future of this game... instead of bolting on some fps mini game.
"We need multiple Smaller bubbles"
Draws bubbles that are fucking massive
It's all relative baby.
Truthfully, I wanted like 30 bubbles on screen. Big ones to rep the Superpower with minor growing factions clustered near it. But then I remembered...I'm not a graphic artist. (And Premiere doesn't like working with still images) So you get what you get. 😅
@@ThePilot_ You did great. Anyone who cares enough to look can clearly see the visual representation of the point you're trying to get across. Job well done. Let's head to the pub!
Those librarians from New Mexico Library Association may be doing something good but mate, aren't they a little extreme.
we need to make a group dedicated to burning the bubble
A few of my friends and I have been trying to organize a player faction to go directly against the superpowers
It started with 'Jet Cone Boost' (+300Ly?)
Then Guardian FSD (+10Ly)
Then Engineering (+x%Ly)
Then FC's (+500Ly)
Then CG (G5 FSD +10%Ly)
... all while we explored less than 1% of the Galaxy in 6 years.
Now there are 500,000+ players, 10,000+ FC's, the DSSA, regular expeditions to Colonia, Beagle Point, Sag A+ ...
... and the beginning of Odyssey to spread Social Hubs throughout the Galaxy.
I, for one, welcome the fires that that the NMLA have lit, and will fan them until the Bubble burns ...
I'm a relatively new player, so still a new pair of eyes to the game. I've asked this same question about being able to construct and build your own piece or pieces of space. Even if they allowed you to assist to expand the reach of the super powers it would be a nice aspect to the game and give actual meaning to rep, resources, credit and ship grinding.
Honestly about 1 year ago I took my exploration dbx and went out and haven't seen a station since and have more than like 4 billion in cartographics data
"We should have micro-bubbles across the milky way"
*Colonia-based players walk in* Allow us to introduce ourselves.
we can use carriers to make our own stations out in the deep. get a mass organization of carrier owners, start mining operations out there while the carriers provide a great form of infrastructure. Then ship production can ramp up as more materials are gathered from miners. At some point trade can commence.
I would find it exciting, sure taking a trip to a far away faction would seem far, but it adds on to the exploration of different systems, possibly making it easier to find Raxxla
This vast universe screams for decentralised content, right now it doesn't make sense.
