Strange signal in the endless space

One week has passed since a pilot from the Empire Fleet discovered a strange signal on a communication frequency which isn’t used by any faction. So far we don’t have accurate information about the current place of the frigate or about the coordinates at the moment of receiving the signal. Moreover we do not know what happened to the frigate after receiving the signal. We are sending the signal an all known frequencies to warn all pilots out there.

Now all reports about abnormal signals and happenings are very important for us. All of us could be under threat.

_ Log entry 1745. _

_ Something is happening on the ship, something really strange…. _

_ The entire crew is panicked…. the dread is hunting us all… _

_ with every breath we take we lose more and more of our mind…. _

_ It is getting darker around us… _

_ Statement from the Navigator: _

_ after the nightmare of the abandoned docks, he believes that we are doomed in the shadows … _

_ and that’s the second week, we circled around the sun …. _

_ The radiation is attacking our bodies and the hopelessness our mind. _

_ I do not believe anyone not even the navigation systems. _

_ Yesterday we made a flight through sector 1340. I’ve never seen so many dead Federation ships … _

_ crumbled ships in an iridium field together with their crew members. Now my beloved frigate is full of blood … _

_ Our skin is so frozen we are too scared to start the cleaning drones. _

_ I introduced a curfew, but the latter belief in discipline melted away after the suicide of a younger mechanic. _

_ We are drifting through endless space…through the darkness….towards a faceless nightmare in the shadows… _

_ Next entry-22 October. Oh Emperor, give me strength. _

could this be a reference to the fourth race? maybe some pve content? open world?

or simply a halloween event :smiley:

maybe jericho comming and terrorizing the brave pilots in the galaxy.

Jericho is comming, but this Log is for something different. You will soon get more information :slight_smile:

Unknown race to fight in PvE?

“…we are too scared to start cleaning drones” may be a reference to a kind of cybernetic enemy?

And the big number of Federation ships destroyed makes me think about something HUGE… Boss battles perhaps? I hope so :smiley:

I think you misconceived that statement, they mention how their skin is frozen and I am figuring the cleaning bots use a type of thermal vision, so I am speculating they don’t want to turn on the cleaning drones to clean the blood up (that they mention) because the drones will come after then, due to their frozen skin and being unable to detect that they are human life (due to no heat signature?).

That is what I got from that.

As for the signal, it is obviously some kind of new threat, possibly PVE in an open world? That would make SC really interesting.

Yeah, you may be right ^^

Open world? Nah it’s kind of hard that something like that would happen. But I surely would like in the same way instanced PvE and, as I said, Boss fights.

Yeah it would be a definite change for the game but if they switch to an open world, simulation style format - with trading and logistics behind the combat - they could be a straight up competitor to Eve Online and possibly even take some of their subscribers! I use to play eve online but I didn’t enjoy it because I wanted to control the ship like in Star Conflict.

This should be a serious consideration for the dev team, they could “steal” eve onlines un-satisfied player base.

(I would happily help the dev team in any way, without pay even. :stuck_out_tongue: - I don’t care about money)

if their skin is frozen how he is able to talk? i don’t get the idea behind this statement - thermo vision clearing drones and stuff ok but this?!

yet we can exclude the jericho as a new threat…since it is said, no fraction uses this frequence…

but acording to the 0.6.0 patch log there is a reference to an anomaly in the pandorra system…

The frozen skin is metaphoric. It underlines the fear that the crew feels;)

So my theory still stands.

It isn’t an Halloween event because a new map (so a permanent one, not event) was announced for the 0.6: “an anomaly in the orbit of Pandora”. This could be strictly bound to this message

teleporter alien ships coming :smiley:
