arnt shipwrecks under the "solars" category too? but to counter what you guys said,(i dont remember who) if it were a long lost jumphole to NY wouldnt there be the other end somewhere in ny? if the programmers didnt delete it in tau, why would they delete it in ny? anyone else get what im saying?

gee, that guy's cool.

the game has bugs this is on of them, look on the map there are _2_ suns only one is showing up on the scanner....
When I first found it, I flew around it enough times to come to that conclusion.
about 2k's apart if I remember correctly...

Something to think about:

Planet Primus is a Samura Base.... yet the planet description if of another planet... is it a Interstellar-Spacewarp-Anomoly-Thingy that really is two planets?

And as all the people know you on the two planets in the unknown system, surly it is you that have had your memory erased by a Sub-Space-Brainwave-Affecting-Gamma-Ray-Weapon-Thingy

And if you can bump into a sun, is it still a sun?


If you see a jumphole, and your scanner tells you where it leads, yet on the other side the scanner dont know where it leads even though you came through it... is it still the same jumphole? Or has the unstable jumphole, picked a new destination?

Is there a thing as intelligent radiation?, that only targets "live" ships? and leaves wrecks and floating cargo/equipment alone?

I thought shipwrecks were classified as LOOT. becuase of the fact that they have loot to grab.

Planet Primus and Planet Gammu are Order bases IMO.

Post Thu Apr 24, 2003 3:46 pm

not Primus...
they (DA) have taken a Samura planet(junai or something) and changed a few things,
but seems to be left unfinished.... (EVEN for a easter egg)

Still, both the apes and the robots will say they work for the Order. The Planet Junyo description is just a glitch.

The planet primus and planet gammu have the same information. The developers took the information of planet junyo in the shi***u system. junyo is the small, watery, blue moon orbiting some other big gas giant. Its dockable, and on junyo, you can get the drone. Primus and gammu suck. Apes and robots that dont tell you anything. Its funny, when you land, you can see lots and lots of ships flying around in the background, most of them kusari, although i saw a liberty rhino (how did a rhino get to primus???). I dont know where you got the idea its an order base...

When you talk to Apes in the bar on Planet Primus, even though they don't give you any good information, they all say "well I work for the Order...we run this place." The descriptives from space are misleading.

The difficult we do immediately; the impossible just takes longer.

Primus is kicking. One of my buddies was like, "dude I don't get too far away from the jump hole because the Nomads will kill me." I said screw it and went running around through there. So happy was I that Primus could fix my ship.

Draken, the two suns actualy do show up seperatly on the map; they are just hard to see, because one is almost directly on top of the other. However, if you look closely, you can see that the map does, in fact, show two stars. As for what the object is; I have no idea.

I too wondered about this object. If you fly high or low around the two suns you will see the actual distance changes independent of the two suns location on the map. This leads me to believe that the programers either forgot to erase their "back door" or their is really something in their. The problem is even using a titan with all my shields/nanobots, I could not get close enough even with the scanner to identify the thing. I do believe something is there I guess we will not know unless someone Mods and upgrades the shield strength to go where no one should ever go.. into the sun.
Just some thoughts from the edge of space!
