outpost defense

[Kirshak]

Hey guys, how do you get "attacked" on your outpost ?

I have set my main home on a planet that have one of those temples, in a solar system that is level 60. I have turrets everywhere and hired an outpost security chief and all the minor companions are based there and have good armor and guns. But still nothing, sometime a wild animal pass trough and get shot at but that's all.

Do I need to finish the game ? I'm taking my time right now, trying to look everywhere before I rush the end game, I did heard about the NG+ and stuff, even tho it's superficial so I still need to reach that end.

I came home to an Ecliptic raid at a level 75 planet outpost...Once. It's one of the exotic material locations. I think I killed one guy and the turrets ate the rest. it was a short affair.

Run power lines, even though you don't need them. Ecliptic should be there shortly.

I have had two "attacks" on an outpost. I have 16 outposts in my current game, and about 6-8 in tow previous games. Both "attacks" were on the same outpost. I think it was more of an issue of building too close to a POI and the pirates wandered in.

Allegedly during the main quest wherever you choose to build the Ancillary to hold the artifacts is supposed to draw Starborn to attack your ship or outpost. I saw absolutely no difference.

Yeah, I had mine on my ship. Its sat there for the remainder of my first playthrough. Including doing other factions questlines. So it was there for a long while. Was never attacked by single starborn. Did see starborn ship touchdown once, when on a planet. Went over to it. Noone there.

As boring and un eventful as Fallout 4s attacks but even less fun.

I do see a lot of Starborn ships landing on planets since they got introduced in the main campaign, but beside attacking me in space or after I visit their temples, I also never see them other than that

I get attacked all the time by all sorts of things. Starborn. Varuun. Spacers.

No, but if you spawn there all hell breaks lose.
I fast travelled to mine and suddenly my base was over run, they killed my turrets and my NPC. Now I put turrets up on buildings so the animals cant get them but... no I think it only kicks off if you are there, but also, NPC can easily kill them, some times I hear them engage when I am inside the building. Or my turrets start firing.

I have had bounty hunters land a ship, and about 8 minutes later they came to my base to kill me. Same for spacers.
It is kind of cool, that and also the trade linked ships landing is awesome, those ships are even in your orbits.
