Alien Ownership Broken
Egg only gals don't seem to be going unowned, just spawn a near infinite number of eggs. I've spent an hour in one, I know someone who spent a lot longer and they aren't going unowned.
I'm on a class that gets decent radar bonus and have a pretty powerful radar and I can't see anything apart from the occasional egg popping up, so either the mechanic for making a galaxy go unowned isn't functioning or it needs a seer to track something down meaning the majority of the player base can't participate. Either way, it's broken.
Spending 1hr+ getting things like minor augs and aug plugs with no effect on alien ownership is where it's currently at. What makes content attractive / enjoyable is a balance of effort vs reward and this mechanic is 100% effort for 0% reward; there is literally no incentive to sit in a galaxy that drops things I'd find in DF10 and doesn't go unowned for hours on end. Please make the existence of an outpost a requirement for alien ownership of a galaxy or at least allow some way of clearing the non-outposted owned galaxies, and make rewards proportional to the amount of effort it takes to clear a galaxy if you want this content to be played by people.

Re: Alien Ownership Broken
So... we've scanned 10k out with seer + SD, no sign of any AI apart from the occasionally spawning egg that's been killed on sight. Galaxy is still owned by avek.

Re: Alien Ownership Broken
Was siting there also, and killing eggs for an 1 hour. Then even they stoped respawning for like 20 min... and it didn't go unowned.

Re: Alien Ownership Broken
bump has this bug been fixed yet?

Kill everything in a galaxy and everything that ever spawned in it and ran off 12j and you should get the gal to un-own.

Re: Alien Ownership Broken
That works for some galaxies... unless something's been fixed very recently you can still get owned galaxies with 0 AI in them because they ran off.

Re: Alien Ownership Broken
ownership didnt seem to matter, I killed two pillboxes and the event came up the kumari device weakened and the % went up on my cols by 5%. The gals are still owned. Im going to kill some more its kinda boring takes 20 mins but does the job.

Re: Alien Ownership Broken
I think the bug is still there you clear the gal then you are left with an egg that never stops respawning. buggy content for sure.

Re: Alien Ownership Broken
Or working as intended, who knows?
If you park something to kill the eggs and manage to track down the ai that spawned in that galaxy then ran off umpteen jumps it should go unowned.
