Hi, 1- In solo vanila game, actually IN an UCH space repair station, when found it the text "new faction met" poped BUT still nothing in NPC rep board tried the "faction discover" command, didn't worked neither? Am I missing somthing? 2- I'd like to get friend with [Col], without killing pirates..do Col have planet territories somwhere, so I can hunt predator in their territories? (asking this afetr exploring various planet in their space but their ground bases seems to never have "ground territories") 3- When I take a seat to eat in a station...I have to stand up again to be able to eat...wierd 4- Still can't crounch (when enemy can) nor lie, is it a "no go" for the dev team? Thanks a lot in advance for your answers, have nice game!
Uch has no reputation so you won't see it in the list. You can eat with shift right click on a food item in your inventory I think.
1- @ravien_ff explained this. (I play Solo Vanilla) - I'll add (not knowing exactly what UCH station you found) there's a UCH Station that is very large and has huge LCD panels with all the basics for getting started in the game; keyboard and mouse controls, building bases, etc. Obviously if you find this space station you're driving a CV so you KNOW the basics. Odd. Perhaps just supposed to be a "UCH Training facility", but why is in in Polaris Territory?? I wonder if this base was (or is, in future updates) meant to be a possible beginning spawn point. You CAN loot the boxes and fridges, but oddly you CAN'T use the Food Processors and Constructors. Seems weird since you ARE UCH, but as you pointed out, there's no actual Faction for them so I guess you're not really. Would be a pretty good "EASY" beginning spawn point. Noobs often complain the Tutorials aren't great at the beginning because they haven't found this info ... (it's there, just people seem to miss the references to where). I know I did. IDK if this station is a recent addition, but I've never seen any UCH stations before, now I know of two; this one and the one I think you found, the Repair Station. I'm left wondering about the possible storyline's future ...?? 2. Killing Pirates in Vanilla doesn't raise your standing with [Col], in fact you get -5 from killing a Pirate. Neither does killing Predators in their Territories. (I think they used to have some but I haven't seen one since the 1.5 update. Or perhaps I'm suffering from a Brain Cloud.) If you look at the Faction info for Free Colonists you'll find you CAN'T raise your standing with them even if you stand on your head and squirt jellybeans. Personally, I don't get what the Devs are doing here with them. You sure can RUIN your Rep but not RAISE or FIX it?? Once again, I suspect there is some odd plan for an future Update that we're not privy to. I'm pretty certain the storyline isn't fully baked yet, but I sure don't get the Free Colonists role and total lack of ability to change your standing except DOWN. 3. Yep, you can't eat while sitting, always been so (except in one odd point in the new storyline where you sit in the SkyBar and order a beer, it felt really unnatural But fun. Kinda like "Look at me, I'm breaking the rules!" sorta fun) 4. Crouch / Lie - many, MANY requests for this, if you search the Forums you'll find many discussions of this. Must be either very very hard to implement or take a BUNCH of Dev time. I give them a pass on this, and the Water Physics, and the inability to walk on the ships while travelling. Keep always in mind this is a small Indie studio with a small team who had a huge hit. They probably get little sleep and NO Family time, so cut 'em slack on the things they don't handle, eh? They're advancing the game regularly, and handle bugs pretty darn quick, so .. A lot better response than a lot of the major studios give their players {Cough ... EA ... Cough} who have limitless resources. Cheers!
Ok with regards to point 1 if I’m thinking about the same station you mention with the large lcd that’s the creative library. I’m not sure why it is used at the moment I’m guessing it might be changed in a future update or when the correct building has been made and is ready to swap. Without giving away spoilers you may notice in submissions an influx in certain faction builds including UCH so watch out for future updates I think that station was added in 1.5 update you would need to read recent change logs be be sure
The Human Race, originating from Earth, is UCH (United Council of Humanity) and therefore you do not gain Reputation with them nor do UCH have a Territory as their Domain. The [Col] Colonists are the Civilians in this Galaxy which can be found everywhere and therefore also within the Territories of other Races. Crouching... yeah that is a hard Nut to crack for the Devs, starting with a complete rework of the Avatar and maybe even ending with moving in moving objects. Though once those few ELEON-Devs are committed to this Task NOTHING else - Game wise -can be done anymore.
Cool! Thx! I knew about the "Call to Arms" to the builders for new POI's & Ships but, not being skilled at that have only looked in the Forum a couple times. Above my paygrade. UCH - knew that, but didn't know the details on the [Col] , Thx! Crouching - Yep, that would quickly grind things to a halt. It's become my unofficial mission to realty check those that don't GET the size of the team that's doing this wonderful game when they come here b*tching about {fill in the blank} that requires a complete re-write ... I'm no programmer but have done some in the early days and have mad respect for those that can. A good programmer is half Mathematician or Engineer, half Linguist, and half Artist Proper sock selection is optional, like all good Engineer types. I can program if I wanted to, but it's too much work, and my code would end up being the size of Texas to calculate 2 x 14 = 16. (Or is that 234,673?). As you can tell by my regular walls of text. EDIT: But I can pick socks well.
That station is the orbital station that spawns in a vanilla Creative Mode session in space. No idea why it's showing up in game but I've seen it in one of my sessions as well.
