So my kid was playing and while attempting to hijack a ship it took off into space. Once he killed the crew he was unable to fly the ship due to having too low of a level. Being overburdened he dumped all of his gear and then fast travelled back to his destination. About an hour later he returned to that planet and found the ship floating in space and when he boarded everything was floating like the power was off. Pretty cool for sure.
So, your kid is a reaver.
In my defense he’s probably a bully at school too.
That’s a strange defense to take
Huh, that’s awesome.
I had one where I killed everyone who was on the planet/moon and then I got into the dock area when the door was closing. It closed on me and the ship took off but I glitched out and fell back to the ground.
This seems to have been patched out in one of the latest updates as I tried it again but the door wouldn’t close until I left the docking area.
Yeah I’ve had this, got stuck in the cargo bay when the ship took off and couldn’t get inside, then glitched out the ship and fell back to earth.
That happened to me last night, so I’m not sure it’s been patched out just yet.
Just happened to me. Didn’t notice going up. Did notice that “eh… why is there a planet out there…?” when I took over the cockpit.
Fun starts when the game informs that your level is not high enough to sit on the pilot seat, so you can’t commandeer or control it.
And that’s why I use the UC vanguard flight sim to level piloting 2 or 3 trips are enough to get through the final challenge
There should be more space POIs spawning. Getting that skill up naturally is a real pain because there’s usually barely anything going on anywhere.
On my playthrough I just unlocked the Mantis questline. With the Razorleaf for my combat ship I just jumped around stars and went to any and all POIs that were hostile activity. Got to level 3 really fast like that.
I literally almost never see any POIs when I open the map.
The easiest way to get POIs is to buy slates from vendors, pick up tracker missions for combat, and when you scan planets land at the first random place that shows up. Also, it really helps to hail ships and ask.
Wait, slates from vendors?!
Yeah I noticed that too was kind of cool, but how come we can’t get to space that way normally haha
Yep. Happened twice to me so far. The first time I completed the hijack in space. The second time the (pirate) ship was attacked in orbit by security forces, and destroyed before I had time to eliminate the crew.
Life with a bounty on your head is tough.
Several times. Its annoying as hell, cause its always on a shit tier ship I dont want to take ownership of or fly anywhere.
Only when I’ve jumped on top of them as they were taking off just to see what would happen.
(At some point it becomes incorporeal so you just fall through)
You get some serious air, though!
