Wrecked Vehicles

[Alanray]

after exploring a fair bit of the game I have found an interest in rebuilding old wrecked ships etc. Some will say it's just pixels, but I have found sometimes it takes a lot of detective work to get the what ever up and running again. Does Empyrion plan to release more such POI's through out the game?

I enjoy this aspect of the game also. I generally keep an eye out for "Destroyed Vessels" as they allow me to place my own core, repair and fly them. They end up being sort of a ship restoration project... some I restore to original state, other I customize to taste. Wish more ships were "Destroyed" instead of "Wrecked" which can be repaired but can't be flown.

I'm curious to see the response to your question too!

I've enjoyed fixing up the Dart and the hoverbike in the latest releases. I'm still using the hoverbike for quick short trips. Other than that, I think all the ships I've found are wrecked to the point they are almost unrecognizable as ships, or they would take so much work it would be quicker to rebuild from nothing. I think more ships that can be repaired would be a good idea.

I also enjoyed rebuilding or expanding the wrecked shelters or habitats in the past. I don't ever see them anymore. Sometimes I restore the Zirax bases to service after I destroy them.

I've done up a few. There was one SV that had four section that took weeks to fix up. Loved that one. Once I took a capital into creative and spent 20 minutes blowing it to pieces, then spawned it into a game. But I think I wrecked it too much. lol. Still need to finish it.

Nice!! Good luck on your rebuilds, sounds like fun!!

@seven - thanks for idea on restoring the zirax bases you conquered! Sounds cool

I havent heard of a 4 part SV? Any clue if it had a name or spawn point?

Same here, for survival, it's super enjoyable to repair a wreck and let it become your new home or ship to go. I remember in one of my first playthrough repairing the Sentinel in the minefield. I was so proud to fly it after all the work. After several upgrades it was still a very nice ship (but it was without M/V)

Ha. It was years ago so memory faded a bit. Technically it was 2-3 sections... cockpit and the rest. The rest was kinda two section. I had to do some thinking but it was Ravien's L7 Comet Miner, but the wrecked version was in a scenario I think. I'll try to find it.

Edit: I had thought it was Star Salvage but it needs updating to work. Maybe Ravien remembers which scenario his comet was used in as a destroyed/Junk SV?

I look forward to the investigation results

Investigation complete. The Comet was on the Dead Starter world (Purgatory) from Project Eden along with other damaged ships. Star Salvage also has some interesting derelict ships.

Great news, Im going to have a look now and see what I can turn up.

Hopefully the developers can read about this interest and develop it further in some manner for us players.

Thanks again
