The factorum can and will hunt you!!!!!

I was at my space station..... doing space station things.... prepping for the next big battle with my ship. I noticed the unidentified signal in the distance like 11,000+km away. I payed it absolutely no mind, until I noticed something............... it was ticking DOWN!! I said whut!?? And it was ticking down QUICK like the business was on someone's mind!! I go into spectator, and 3rd eye rush to the scene. A factotum battleship was on FULL BURN, nose pointed right in my direction!!! And no.... it was NOT on patrol.

I think they're mad I gave it to their boy and want revenge. If I did my calculations right, it would take over 3 hours for them to reach me at that distance. which I suspect is longer than the default encounter time. But if they popped up closer they would have brought the fight to my door and right into my bedroom!!

Be careful when you see encounters pop up! One of those battleships is active and will bring it right to you. As of typing/editing this, that ship closed 200+ km and counting.

Well now you know they are coming you have time to dig in.

I have popcorn ready for me and who ever else wants to enjoy the show. I also have a first aid kit for the OP and a 200 space credit bet on the OP surviving as well. For the record, groans and/or a shaky outstretched hand are signs of life

The good news is that it lasts only 2 hours

My Space Destroyer is not yet ready... and I guess it won't be until 4th week of November... and I never build warships before, so might take for awhile, on the other hand, a picture of it would be nice to help me to counter it while the ship is still early development...

They are painful in 2-3 numbers each types, and stationary gun placements as well...
I tried to force way my self with an exploration ship with mod shields, they just ripped the shields in just 2 mins... My play style of cat and mouse approach has ended... time to confront those faction with true grit... If not for the prototech update i wont be building warships...

A good attack is to send "Lure" / AI Drones used as Decoy, they will give you a short window to use your Warship to destroy their weapons while they are busy shooting at your Drones.

You have time. 11000km at max speed limit of 100m/s is 30 1/2 hours.....
Probably longer since they will despawn after 2 hours.....
I think only players can use jump drive not AI

Rant: ... and how'd they know where you were? You don't have anything that can transmit a signal 11000km and they don't either.

[Dan2D3D]

I just have to Jump at 2.1Km of the Factorum station, deploy my Offiensive Follow Guard Drones to circle 200m around my Warship. they detect the enemy and will go there before me, well with me following behind them ;)


EDIT
Well done AI Drones can destroy the enemy weapons at 1400m.
