This happened to me also, different setting , same end result. Jump in to a USS, canisters of gold everywhere. Lucky day? nah smells like a trap. Even tho i was watching closely, a wing of 9 jumped in and completely obliterated me. And i mean, i tried to get the fuck away, but no go.

Finaly managed to spend the weekend in peace, trading the hell out of the game while catching up on House of Cards. Now to bling bling my new Anaconda

same as here


Strong Signal sources are a fucking bust. It's basically "fight a huge fleet for minor credits" The only good thing about this part of the patch is that you can now do salvage missions with less duds.

They're still terrible, though.

How's that for time to resolve a ticket that isn't even "can't log in" critical?

Hmm... so only one station sells them? I bet it's one of those that are 200,000+ LS from the jump point. I wonder how many stations and outposts are in the game.

*edit* response from developers:

This news item went out a little early - details will be released tomorrow.

*double edit* don't get blown up if you find one, or pirated. This would be a case where entering Solo mode would be acceptable.

The competition is up and running from 5pm GMT - however the wording still says it's a Titan Black, and only for sale at one station rather than spread around 5 random ones.

But what might make this extra tough:

To be eligible to win one of the five cards, CMDRs taking part in this competition must remain in Open Play from the moment they obtain the Titan Black, to after they have sold it at Godel Ring.
...so if they're for sale in only spot, and can only be sold in one spot, in open play, it's going to be carnage. Note also it says "obtain", so presumably scooping a canister will be allowed.

Does this game plans to have a free trial at some point ? Or even some sort of buddy invite ?
Not sure i want to spend money on this after all the years i spent playing EvE, but i'd like to give it a try at least.
