***SPOILER*** Attempts of Landing on Earth

Rush · Post by **Rush** » Sat Jul 16, 2011 2:36 pm

I opened this thread to make us write about our attempts of landing on Earth.

I also added a poll.

The question is: "Do you think that landing on Earth is POSSIBLE?"

:D:D

Anything is possible. But not by using any of the techniques I've tried: flying in formation with a Navy ship as it approaches Earth, using a deployed shield, accepting a contract that places its box inside the perimeter, flying slow, flying fast, flying unarmed ... and whistling while inadvertently flying past the barrier.

Well, that solves my dilemma..On getting another thread for this.

MMaggio has already confirmed that it can be done. There is something obvious, probably something so simple, we are probably not even considering. The clue MMaggio gave was to think outside the box. I would definitely start there.

Something Simple

That's me, but it doesn't stop me getting fragged

See my post elsewhere...

yesterday I tried drifting in, over Antarctica very very slowly - no joy (I was hoping to freefall from when gravity kicked in)

I tried sneaking close to the rind (to see if I could drop straight down from just inside the ring - no joy

What I did find out is that I blew up at the moment switching to planetary mode was announced!

Not exactly. You get that warning at 508000 of altitude and blow up always at exactly at 507500.

My opinion is that death is bound to a check in the altitude, like

if (planet=earth) & (altitude <= 507500) then die()

MMaggio said think outside the box...Let's see, maybe we are so fixated on landing and not concentrating on that d#@ Ring, maybe the key to this whole thing is the Ring. Has anyone fired a volley of Fulcrums at the Ring to see if it can be destroyedt?

The only think "outside the box" that comes into my mind is to bribe Vice, maybe buying 100 copies of the game

:D:D

Unless there's some arcane time or vector based openings, I'm betting there is an unmarked portal-type object out there somewhere..

theres a window between the warning and the death,, use that...skim the radius, find the opening....enter
thats what i came up with

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Fri Jul 22, 2011 10:11 pm

Of course it is possible, I voted yes.......

:P

I've landed... In a million Pieces! lol

Personally, I don't think its a question of when or where. I think its a question of understanding the way the code works. If it is true that you can land on Earth, it appears that under some circumstances, the game does not run the code that would destroy your ship when under the treshold. I suppose jumping there doesn't work, unless maybe if you docked and opened into a menu straight away.

What other ways are there to move your ship while avoiding running said code?

Post by **Marvin** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 2:27 am

There doesn't seem to be any place to dock on Earth. Thinking "auto-docking" was how it was done in Legends, I went back and searched the "universedata" file in Legends for a hidden city ... and found nothing. So, if it's the same code bug (or whatever) found in Legends ... I'm at a total loss.

Knight Rider · Post by **Knight Rider** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 4:44 am

I believe MMaggio got it on good authority that landing on earth is possible and he's trying not to give the secret away. I'm convinced he knows.

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Mon Jul 25, 2011 2:30 pm

MMaggio only knows it is possible and might have some clues, but I do not think he knows how to land on Earth in Evochron Mercenary...

:P

I hope that's not the case...MMaggio could you clarify?

Since he won't give any more hints away I guess it doesn't matter!

Are we bug hunting here or is there a method hidden in the game?

Since earth defence can move between the ring and the surface, coud it be there ships? Are military ships available anywhere in the system?

I tried Military Rank and Ship.....and still went down in pieces.....

:P:P:P:P:P

Well, he said to think outside the box. In Mercenary, you could edit the universe data file, which means, in theory, you could...delete the protection ring from round Earth (leaving it defenseless).

However, we know that the vonari can blow up a planet from a distance, so the ring is really not effective against that kind of attack. HOpefully, the vonari won't find that wormhole that leads straight there... so close...

Did you buy your ship in Sol, though?

Post by **Marvin** » Tue Jul 26, 2011 6:52 pm

Where can you buy a military ship in Sol?
