SOL - System information

Post by robberer »

Hi Evochronians,

today i've took a journey to the SOL star system in less than two hours. Discovered a hidden E197 star system and a large "mercury ?" star system on the journey.

Finally there i've realized they already have "trans newtonian" technology and a station around Earth. I had 250 metal ore in my cargo just to build a station there :'(

Anyway...

I opened the system information page and it says ~"no system information available". How can the offer a Jump Drive at every station without knowing their own system ? Is there a lore wise / technically explanation for this ?

regards,
Rob

Not all systems provide information details. Most charted systems do, but uncharted systems and systems that are outside of the Quadrant (ie Sol and Vonari) generally won't.

A little lore behind it. Once the colonies left Sol behind, they focused on the systems they planned to live and work in and logged/recorded things based on their exploration, rather than retaining what they already knew about where they came from and left behind. In the case of Vonari, it's still regarded as a somewhat unknown system.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

The Vonari systems are my next exploration targets once i get back from SOL.

Then i have to take a look at my new discovered E(xxx) system. And everything.....

I may try to work in at least a few system details for Sol in the next update. One or two others have brought it up as well.

??? A short explanation as to why you die when trying to go planetside ... that might be a nice addition.
