Any suggestions?

Post by Vagrant »

Here's the deal, started a few days ago, used stardrive to go to another system, have no more fuel. Biplane world is down, and should be down for atleast another 4 or 5 days. Even if it was up, I'm in the wrong system, so would still be SOL. In my current system I'm nowhere near being able to earn credits, Zoric is still too undeveloped, and Platina is pretty much dead from some groups cornering the economy. In the other system there is no way to earn credits that I know of other than biplane world, and as said, it's down and would still be unaccessable. To make things worse, the command .resetme doesn't seem to work, so I wouldn't be able to go between the systems more than once if I did request a reset of some sort.

I am sure I'm not alone in this since I have run into a handful of other new players that have been to both systems, and have either gotten frustrated with not knowing what to do, or have requested a temporary fix that will eventually become more and more common as more people start playing.

My purpose with this post is to get some suggestions from more seasoned players, and possibly encourage future world owners to have viable options for earning credits when certain key planets are no longer running.

Topic is no longer valid since I have gotten the drive and found that other systems are more or less empty, so nothing really has to be done at this time.

I think there's some sort of racing available on Planitia. But other than that it's either on a world that's offline, or hasn't been made yet. From what I understand, worlds take awhile to make, so if it isn't already in the works, I wouldn't expect one soon.

Isn't it an offense to be caught drunk in charge of a zimmerframe?
