How are you or we will be handling this situation: we are exploring or hauling long freight and it is late, we log off. Since we are out in space, our ships will be...? Attacked, safe til log in or SOL.asked by Adin Arache
TL;DRIf you're in a non-combat area with beds aboard a bigger ship, sleeping acts like a save point and protects your ship, though commodity prices may change, and you can't save mid-combat.
...I'm guessing that means shit outta luck rather than Sol – our star.We've basically said that if you have beds aboard some of the bigger ships and you're in a non-combat area where you're not engaged in combat and so on- there's nobody threatening you nearby if you go to bed it's like a savegame otherwise you'll have to land at a space station or land on another planet and then again it's like a save checkpoint.Those are the places you allowed to save- so we don't let you save in the middle of a combat or pirates attacking you because that defeats the purpose but if you're out in the void of space and nothing is around- you go to your bunk bed, "go to sleep" and then you'll be able to log back on and you'll wake up and you'll still be out in that void of space because essentially that point will take your ship away so people can't attack you while you're asleep so that is allowing you to do a save checkpoint which is the same as if you land at a space station and then go sleep in a sleeping quarters or at a planetary landing location and do the same.Those are the moments that "OK, you're at the this point and you're progress has saved." but we don't let you do it while you're in conflict- we potentially wouldn't let you do it in certain safe areas but there will be areas where you can do that so you don't have to finish the trip- you could save, login and log out and still be back.Of course the prices of the commodities you may be hauling may have changed if you take too long, but that's kind of up to you, at least your ship won't get taken or attacked.
