A Challenge for you all

[cormas]

The Dev's keep saying there is something we have not found yet, so I challenge you all to max out the borders of your systems and get your explorers exploring every nook and cranny of the expanded systems.

do not trust mods to show you everything there is. SOMETHING is waiting out there, there simply is has to be.
YOU could be the one to find it.

I am stuck in the north sea without ability to play the game as I have been for over 2 weeks now.
when I get home im going to mine some crystals, get 15 miners going and then using the revenue I get to this express purpose.

I will buy the fastest ship out there, I will max out every border, I will set several explorers for every sector to remove every bit of fog of war there is... im just a bit sad this has not already been done.
the old x3 crowd I knew would be all over that already instead of moaning about lack of content in the game.
this is kinda like wow classic vs wow today.
in wow classic you explored every freaking hut and bush looking for quest givers, you read the quests for clues on how to proceed.
in wow today you do not even read the quests, you follow the arrows, you bypass entire villages that don't have a ! symbol.

just because blizzard dumbed their games down to feed the zombie players of today does not mean egosoft has done the same thing.
so get of your butts, EXPLORE! THINK!

when I get home (today hopefully or maybe tomorrow) if I am the first one to do this it will be a sad day indeed.

Is it factory with engine parts in stock?

[Karvat]

Where did they say this?

[radcapricorn]

Yes, yes, there are also Thargoids in Frontier: Elite 2.

[Socratatus]

I guess this is 1.5 beta version?

[cormas]

possibilities are endless really.

1: a new hub plot?
2: giant khak hive?
3: xenon faction other then nr 9?
4: active gate nobody has found? leading to sector nobody has found.
5: boron go go bar?
6: albion skunk abandoned?
7: giant asteroid with 30 white crystal deposits.
8: a different kind of anomaly?
9: split, terran etc salvageable wrecks?
10: a fully functional abandoned arawn.
11: a hidden Plutarch mining base
12: pirates you can actually join.

actually nr 12 is not that far fetched. after you find them you could actually get a new "start" where you create a new game and get to start as an actual pirate with logistic support for selling captures and wares.

13: a hologram of the devs smiling at you with floating text saying they are proud of you for reaching beyond the initial constraints

At Grand Exchange where the pHQ is go north (as much as I can remember) for a 750ish km and you will find an unknown structure in the mist behind two Teladi Stations.

It's really creepy.

And of course there is strange aquadect on the way to Argon Shipyard in Argon Prime.

+1 for the answer to this question please

EDIT: I am hoping its going to be a lock box with a note inside, the note says "You have done well supporting our ship models that were made by some kid for a school project on sci fi 4 yearold baby toys. Here is a download link to the real ships".

There's what looks very much like the wreck of the

I think its also in the encyclopedia, but cool find tho. Did you make sure to search it for the switches like data vaults have?

I kept following the asteroid field in Nopileos' Fortune II. Gave up after 10,000 km from the nearest station and my ship was actually shown on the Memory of Profit map while still in Nopileos' Fortune II.

I challenge you to find the end of that asteroid field....




Need better exploration tools.

Right now my only idea is to follow the resource trails on the map....

I'll take a peek at the ALI rep maybe they have some missions for it?

Maybe you only discover the secret bysending ships on expedition.
But I only read the steam achievement and know that you can send ships on expeditions and hope they can come back.
I don't have a clue how to do this.

Those are "ventures", a feature that is yet to be presented.

You just convinced me to explore all sectors outwards... My poor budget xD

[Kamuchi_]

If only the explore command would work, I'd send 500 disposable ships on a jurney

Yeah... manually exploring those stuff (so mark ship to fly whole circle, back in 3-5 minutes and explore this ring again is quite micromanagement heavy.

Not to mention you can't just tell it to fly in a straight line, you'd end up "hugging" the edge and keep telling it to creep forward into micro managment hell

I haven't actually found any interactable parts on wrecks, I did have a look at it though, just a wreck as far as I could tell.

[Invasion]

No, go find them yourself
Tired of childish challenges as a way to get people to find you what you want
