Where is everyone and how do I find them

Postby Rikki_Sixx » Sat Jan 07, 2017 4:05 pm

Is there a way to spot where other players are hanging out? Either those on your friend list, in your private group or otherwise?

I've had the game a while now and can count the number of times I've seen other players on one hand. Never actually had a real interaction with anyone! Still loving the game, but it feels very single player right now. Would love to be able to play in the same place as other Möbius members!

If it's a case of most people being in a certain area I'll strap all my gear to the roof of my Cobra and head over!

If you go to the last tab on the Galaxy map, you can turn friend marker on and it'll show you where your friends are.
As for hanging out, the galaxy is so big there isn't really paces where this just happens. I think some people hang around Azrael (Mobius home system) and CG's when they're active, but that's about it as far as I know.

Yup, what RD said. :)

I also run across other commanders at engineer stations quite often.

The Azrael thing makes me chuckle - I settled on it as a home station in the first year of the game based on its location, interior decor and it having the same name as my son gave one of our cats. I have only just and just joined the group and am actually out trading a long way from home at the moment but it tickles me that when I go home this time it will be busy with people.

Thank you! I had no idea about that tab on the Galaxy Map, or that Mobius had a home system! Will check both out, cheers!
