Debris Field

Postby Munkster » Sun Feb 08, 2015 1:39 pm

Not seen these before but when I logged in today to do some bounty hunting in Riedquat there it was, neat Warterloo, a "Debris Field". So far it seems to operate similarly to a Nav Beacon, ships pop in now and then, but with the added peril of bouncing off huge chunks of Debris :)

Was this on beta or regular? Either way I'll have to check it out since I'm doing both.

Hmmm, must be very new or just adding slowly to regions or handcrafted, because I visited 20 or so populated systems last night (different ones) and didn't see that.

I am noticing that all the ships that jump in have a bounty on them and they seem to be much more likely to be immediately hostile.

It's probably part of the simulation that we haven't seen before, maybe fallout after a local spat or something.

nothing bigger than an asp jumped in but bounties were usually between 10k and 50k each

Nice! I will keep an eye out for these. I typically just go to the nav beacon. Some day I might actually make the foray into an anarchy system! Haha. I already gave an RES a spin. Good stuff, but all those rocks murdered my FPS in the middle of dogfighting. :/ So... yeah. The nav beacons work just as well for me. Was it a huge debris field? RES like, or more like a USS?
