Comment on Notes from a new starship thief
CMLVI@kbin.social 1 year agoWhen you land on a planets or moons surface, listen for another ship to land or checktthe map markers on your scanner for ship landing site. Usually it's ecliptic or spacers, and you just clear them out and fly the ship off planet.

I went through a spate of it being a UC ship that landed for like 5-6 times in a row. It was really frustrating to walk so far out of my way only to have to leave the ship alone. Got a nice Ecliptic ship today though.

Most of the ships I find are inaccessible. The couple I have been able to board have been peaceful, and I didn’t have the heart to start a fight with them.
About the only valid target I got was one time a ship landed really close by. A solitary spacer got out and I thought “Game on!”. I dropped the spacer with a headshot, and then of course the ship raised the bay ramp and took off again. Bastards.

Ugh, yeah, that happened to me the other day too. Spacer ship landed like 70m away while I was up on a high vantage point. I dropped all 4 spacers right in their bay, then jumped down to claim the ship, only to have it take off with the bodies still inside. I didn’t get the ship or the loot!

Yeah, apparently that’s a thing: if you kill all the ground crew, the ship rabbits.
Next time I’m going to ignore the last spacer and sprint for the bay, see if I can do a Todd and have it lift off as I kill the last one on the ground :)
