[2022] NPE Update: New Mining Adventure Feedback Thread

Hi everyone,

In today’s news item we talk about the new mining adventure which has landed on Singularity. It extends the storyline established in the new player experience which released last September and delves further into the mystery surrounding the attack of the AIR station.

Why not jump on Singularity, spin up a new character and try it out for yourselves? We’d love to hear your impressions and any feedback you may have.

I already sent my notes in.

FYI, you should be able to skip it in those cases through the ESC menu, as far as I know.

Some feedback regarding the new NPE on SISI.

Issues:

1. It’s possible to destroy Elias (The Orca NPC) using smartbombs from another ship. I probed my alt in the NPE mining site with my main and smartbombed him to destroy him, this didn’t break the scenario though and he left no wreck/loot behind so nothing breaking there.

   I don’t know if this is specific to my UI, but the station services panel was covering up the ‘inject skills’ button when Aura asks you to use your unallocated skillpoints to train the mining upgrades skill. Could be confusing for a new player.

3. https://i.imgur.com/nfm7850.jpeg When Aura asks me to warp to mining site, her window was covering up the ‘warp to location button’. I’m not sure if this is because I moved her conversation window to that point before hand though. This could be confusing.

4. Both times I warped to the mining site initially, it didn’t work, no interactions happened, I had to relog to get the cinematic and conversation between aura/elias to actually work and continue the scenario.

5. After relogging, Aura/Elias go into horror mode and their models broke. Aura had her arms behave weirdly and elias had his eyeballs popping out of his face. Twitch

Things I Loved:

The Asteroid Environment looks really great, I wish all mining anomalys/belts looked that great, the athanor moon beam firing to break apart rocks looked incredible. The voice acting and humor is good.
