I've seen this complain a bunch of times but we already have pure non-combat gameplay loops, specifically hauling and mining, with exploration as a future loop (and touring farther on). The point of events isn't to just replace the more generic gameplay loops, it's to combine gameplay loops in a way that encourages cooperation. Many of them have been mostly or almost entirely combat-focused...Xenothreat, Jumptown, etc. All of them have some basic resource aspects but it's not a primary focus. None of the current dynamic events would benefit much from someone showing up in a Caterpillar, for example. The blockade missions focus *more* on cargo and logistics. Bringing in a big cargo ship with a strong escort is going to save you a lot of time and avoid potentially losing cargo. But it would be weird for an event involving blockades and pirates to have no combat.

Honestly blockade runner sounds like a completely missed opportunity. 1. They preface it by saying missions are too combat focused, then they make it so the mission is combat focused. 2. If the station is being blockaded, they will need more resources than just the boxes that were stolen. They could have created a wish list of items (food, water, medical etc) which players could acquire, run the blockade and deliver for huge mark up bonuses. At least this way you can solo the mission if there isn’t anyone around to protect you. 3. There could be an overwhelming number of injured people on the station. Anyone with a med bed could try to get in and heal some of the people (ai) and get a reward.

That can include both collecting escape pods as well as collecting conscious and unconscious NPCs that are in EVA or still stuck on board. Some NPCs should also require immediate medical attention. Secondary intrigue can be added by (sometimes) tasking those with the appropriate faction reputations to not rescue people but use the opportunity to secure or steal cargo/data amid the chaos, assassinate or rescue a VIP, or stop/prevent a reactor meltdown or similar calamity and thus buy more time.

Presumably, that is theft, and the law engine knows it's theft. If you are getting commodity delivery missions from Contracts that track "pre-purchased" cargo crates that are explicitly flagged as stolen if they are stolen, then I think it's pretty safe to say that exact same tech will be used for player theft. Somebody has boxes called up from an elevator, and you tractor beam them out of their elevator, and you aren't in their party? Law violation. Presumably, they will permit you to defend goods from being stolen: which is to say, if somebody tractors or grabs one of your flagged cargo in an area that has law enforcement (which nearly all landing pads, and every single hangar, does) you can then shoot them in the head, legally. I think shooting a thief in the head is a pretty good protection against theft. Conversely, if the area is more threatening then just a single other player, you'll probably just *not use the hangar and avoid the risk of theft and/or death.* Literally all of that sounds exactly like the intended gameplay loops, to me. I don't know where you could be getting the idea from that *every single time you use the cargo elevators you are going to have an absolute 0% chance of player theft occurring,* when it's pretty obvious that they don't intend the system to be theft proof, given that would be a reduction of viable gameplay loops, and we know full well they intend for piracy and outlawry to be a fully legitimate gameplay style. TL:DR: He's getting robbed, and he can defend himself. If he fails to defend his cargo, it's going to get stolen. That's how theft works.

This looks like a lot of fun! Can't wait to try it. You hit it on the head, the Fun of XT is that banding together in whatever roles we most enjoy and all having a hand in getting it done even if all we want to do is be the air superiority, or the hauler, or the loaders, or the entry force breaching the ship and clearing ground targets. Would be cool to see a version of it on the surface where the cargo is already on the ground in the open defended by ground forces, requiring tanks and drop ships to breach the perimeter. Can't just bomb it if the cargo will be in the way so we HAVE to bring the fight to the surface. Or a mix of this but for solo/small groups as with mrt hrt vhrt and ert type missions..but with cargo so it's not IF, but WHEN I WILL be interdicted by various enemies and have to take them out to continue my delivery. Make my Andromeda and Corsair, or fully Crewed A2 really feel like the only right choices for the job. Give me a reason to HAVE to leave my Inferno, Hornet, etc at home to succeed.

I never liked the 9 Tails lockdown, but this sounds a lot more interesting.

Although the advanced technologies available to them, combined with their training, their charter gives them great freedom of action in the use of force, it is rare to witness Marine Operations in civilized space and when that is the case everyone in the area understands that it is a place to avoid at all costs.

There should be some kind of weight limit for these tractor beam guns. Pretty unrealistic watching a small person lifting a gigantic shipping container.

They do have a weight limit. The ptv or stv is their limit in terms of weight then you move up to the 2 handed version to lift tanks and even some smaller ships

The tractor beam is totally normal though, but imagining a tractor beam that can make a large weight more manageable is where you draw the line I guess.

Stop giving crappy devs praise for crappy work man it's been many years and the game is a wreck

I've been waiting for cargo hauling missions since the PU went live! Grinding on low value cargo until you have enough capital to make decent money is painful (without explouts)! Being able to make that money on someone elses cargo is what us haulers have been missing!!

So...Nine tails player side will know exactly where to camp for supply ?

Looking forward to this new iteration of lockdown. Thanks to all the devs who jump on these to share their thoughts.

Cargo need some love for sure. And hope we get some ultra rare and supper valuable cargo in the future. Not everything has to be about how much scu you can carry....

Did you add something more than the feature was plan for 3.23 in this 3.24 ?

(QUESTION) can we have time based cargo that require you to pickup cargo where another player is waiting for said cargo , and if the cargo doesn't get picked up by the other player whether that been pirated or player face plants his ship into a the ground it has a knock on effect to prices across the verse.

Alright, attacking and taking cargo from a pirate hull c sounds awesome. Nice! ❤

New content :) thank you CIG

The United Empire of Earth Navy is the Navy branch of the United Empire of Earth military. It is the largest of the three branches and public face of the United Empire of Earth military. It is responsible for transportation of military resources, maintaining the borders and waging military strikes throughout the UEE. Service members of the Navy are deployed in nearly every system of the empire. In the early days of humanity’s expansion into space, the unified Navy primarily served as a police force, patrolling the systems for damaged or broken down ships. Upon the discovery of the Banu, the government realized that the Navy needed to be re-purposed as a military presence. The Navy’s fleet began to swell as it was the most obvious visual representation of humanity’s military strength. Fueled by the never-ending stream of stories and Vids of daring pilots, recruits flocked to the Navy’s stations to sign up. Even before the Draft of the First Tevarin War, the Navy’s enlistment numbers had barely dipped. During the Messer Era, the Navy, along with the rest of the UEE military, grew at an exponential rate; helping in the Imperator’s mad dash for planets and systems. Structurally, the UEE Navy is formed around Squadrons which are assigned a carrier and a fluctuating number of support ships. An Admiral is in charge of the carrier and squadron with Wing Commanders running the multiple Wings that operate at any given time. Recruits train in the shadows of the massive shipyards at the academies and boot camps on MacArthur in the Kilian system.[1]

How does the cargo elevators work with the Hull C? You need the spindles to be extended to attach cargo!

@Raptorman386

25 күн бұрын

you will have to park the hull c outside of atmo and use a smaller cargo ship to offload the hull c and bring it to the spaceport to store in the cargo elevator. will need a crew to move boxes and a crew to defend the hull C while in orbit and a crew to defend the ferry ship. or stick to your space stations and 5 hour wait time. hull C is not a solo ship if wanting to use hanger elevators. you might luck out in a dead server from time to time tho

all previous events have been about combat so we changed it up to make it MORE combat lol

What worries me is that there does not seem to be anything stopping pirates from just sitting at an outpost and waiting for someone to ask for cargo then just tractoring it off his elevator or ramp into their own ship. That means you could have a real (weapons disabled strugge to get all the crates loaded safely then guns & missiles as soon as you leave the AZ. At the end of it the EVR algorithm will say 'You only had to move 10scu from an outpost up to the LEO above. Five minutes max with no risk so we are not paying much ;-)

I loved the original 9Tails lockdown. I loved going around Stanton to fill up on the needed cargo, then *_avoiding_* combat to deliver it. And then, _if I wanted to,_ taking a combat ship out into the fray and pushing back 9Tails. This looks fun, but... it also just looks like a slightly modified, reskinned XenoThreat using the new boxes.

This looks fun. The multi role pickup nature of XT was awesome and it's good to hear the devs agree and want that kind of gameplay to reoccur.

Cool story bro 👍

Will the cargo missions allow for partial payout? IE: If one SCU of cargo is lost, Glitched or even stolen you can still get some reward for the time and effort.

is there any work done on the RAFT? The RAFT is a ship that was specifically made with physicalized cargo in mind but as of now physicalized cargo will break the RAFT , make it unuseable and make it obsolote.

The way they've been handling these dynamic events has been amazing. Mixing together EVA, space combat, and cargo hauling will be a blast and I am excited to see how this work effects other missions.

As always, it looks sick but it's going to be glitchy, laggy and full of unexpected error event. Good for you that you can run SC on your local network.

Blockade running looks great. Then again, i quite enjoy hauling also. I used to do it a lot in eve.

Very interesting, what about the piracy loop related? you will be able to sell big boxes from ships, you attack, with the mission to deliver those commodities?

If current missions are too heavy on combat, why blockade runner and not some relaxing space trucking missions? I really don't get the mission priorities.
