Why Do People Build at Crashed Exotics???

[Zenuma]

I find it extremely rude when players put down a base at a crashed exotic ship. This causes the ship to be un-interactable. Just a lovely image of what could've been. =(

A little message to the thoughtless jerks who do this: What is wrong with you? Are you so miserable that you must kill the joy of others? Were you not taught how to share as a child? Throw up a communication station instead - that's what nice, decent players do.

[Krash Megiddo]

Some players build a base there and leave the crashed ship untouched. Thus the base is like some kind of shrine to exotics.

I'm confused as to why someone would build a base near a crashed ship while they repair it. Why not just claim it and then go through a portal somewhere to move it to their freighter and repair it there? It doesn't have to be repaired at all to do that, and that way they can take it along to other systems as they go.

Gotta use a portal to get elsewhere... And that means a base.

Locations like buildings and crashed ships aren't pre-determined in the way terrain is. They're randomly generated for each player as they fly (or walk) around.

That crashed ship isn't some common resource anyone could have located, you only found it because he found it first and put a base there to save and upload it.

It literally would not exist in your game at all if the other player hadn't done you this courtesy.

You can return the favour by scanning for distress beacons (which generates nee ships, unless you've already found one nearby) and uploading the good ones with bases for others to find.

I find your theory quite unbelievable. It would imply that any POI you fly over is generated and either recorded in your save and immediately, or in bunches, reported to NMS servers, with its type and location for safekeeping. It would also imply that anyone revisiting this location won't meet the exact same building, nor any for that matter, if your computer was offline at the time of such discovery and after it. Do you really think Hello Games maintain such a high-traffic service, which potentially thousands of players concurrently bombard with information of what they found and where, then when someone new visits that planet they get served back this data off these servers? Moreover, either your save file would blow out of proportion if it was the place where such generated buildings get stored or you would need internet connection to revisit POIs your game previously 'generated' for you, if it isn't. Things don't add up here.

Points of interest including buildings and crash sites are predetermined and not dependent on the player. The ship that spawns at the crash site are probably predetermined but they might vary if someone has claimed a ship and the site spawns a new one (I'm not 100% sure on this), but the site its self is part of the planetary generation. Spawn points for resources, minerals, flora and fauna are also predetermined. They are all part of the planetary generation system.

Yeah, just have to repair the landing gear and the thruster to be able to move it / fly it.

You don't need to repair anything to move it, just claim it and leave it behind. It will show up in your freighter or you can summon it to the Anomaly without fixing a thing (still on fire).

[Hunter451]

I say Finders Keepers, I will build a base where ever !

You can just fly up and summon the anomaly. Or summoned somewhere before you go to the surface and then use the option to tp directly to the anomaly from wherever you are.

Where are yall getting this ridiculous information? Crashed ships are persistent, there's a whole catalog dedicated to finding and sharing them. And you don't have to build and upload a base to "save" a location. All you need to do is drop down a base computer, rename it "ship here" or whatever then back out of the menu since it won't let you upload anyway. It'll save the location to your teleporter list and you won't have to be a POS about keeping others from it. The only time anyone can bogart a crashed ship from you is if they're online when you are and grab it while you're in the same instance. Otherwise they'll always be there for everyone but it's always good practice to disable multiplayer before portaling to a crashed ship or multitool location. It won't always get rid of player bases, however.

Some will build bases near crashed exotics or S class ships to farm ship storage augmentation. Fix few modules, take it to station and scrap, repeat after 24h as ship will respanw.

crashed ships respawn every 24hrs. putting a base computer on them is a great means of allowing you to quickly return to the ship to then trade to other players. squid ships are ugly and are not even rare so i dont care of a player has claimed it.

just an idea. i know that people want to go to the ship finder on google to find and share cool ship designs but you really and i mean really do not need to do this. all it does is make the rare style of ship you found no longer rare as everyone will soon have that same look. also any ship found as a wreck in a system will also spawn in the system as a ship you can buy from traders. even if the wrecked form of the ship is claimed down on a planet... there are probably 10 more completely built and flyable ones up in space. also a base computer alone doesnt get uploaded to the servers so other players will never find it unless you went on ship finder and uploaded the coordinates for that exact purpose which is how you found the ship in question. its a bit of a jerk move to go to ship finder to find a ship that the poster shared only to come back and report his base because you want to claim that spot yourself. seriously you're a jerk.

reporting people's bases because they claimed a spot you want is an abuse of the feature. its there to protect the community from people posting offensive stuff like praising the Nazis or Trump or all manner of examples of the worst of humanity. the game is infinite. there are more stars and worlds and squid ships (which all look the same and with the same stats...) to discover than if all of humanity were playing this game could find in a million real years. if someone has a model of a wrecked squidy on a moon you can just head to the local station to buy a fully built one there. *facepalm*

if you do build a base next to a wrecked ship and dont want jerks reporting your base and claiming over it... just put a cuboid room block over your base computer without a door. they can get mad all they want and when they are done... go find their own.

IIRC, if you "report" the base then it disappears from your instance and you can interact with crashed ships and so on as per normal. I think that the only restriction is that you can't subsequently build a base there, yourself.

Thanks a million, mate, you saved me from a lot of frustration.

Arise mighty Necro -- This is really old news and may not actually be very helpful. Reanimating old threads is not as useful as starting a nice new one with your specific question. There have been a lot of changes in the game since 2021.

You can now interact with most anything with a base near it. Might be a problem if someone tried to wall it off but that is what the report function is for. Digging, well that can be an issue in an area within a base but having a base at a crash site can be very helpful.

Maybe they wanted to come back at a later point and repair the ship, so they put a base down so they can tele back to it. Don't just think about yourself lol.

This is the most logical reason. They put down a BC so that they can come back every few days and scrap the ship out again.

Sometimes I do that, while other times I put down a base so I can repair the ship more easily. I call these "shipyard" bases as they're used to repair ships on-site. I also usually make these bases open to everyone so anyone can use it.

As Foxgloves said, having a base at a crash site can be very helpful.
