So my kid was playing and while attempting to hijack a ship it took off into space. Once he killed the crew he was unable to fly the ship due to having too low of a level. Being overburdened he dumped all of his gear and then fast travelled back to his destination. About an hour later he returned to that planet and found the ship floating in space and when he boarded everything was floating like the power was off. Pretty cool for sure.

    Just happened to me. Didn’t notice going up. Did notice that “eh… why is there a planet out there…?” when I took over the cockpit.

      Fun starts when the game informs that your level is not high enough to sit on the pilot seat, so you can’t commandeer or control it.

        And that’s why I use the UC vanguard flight sim to level piloting 2 or 3 trips are enough to get through the final challenge

          There should be more space POIs spawning. Getting that skill up naturally is a real pain because there’s usually barely anything going on anywhere.

            On my playthrough I just unlocked the Mantis questline. With the Razorleaf for my combat ship I just jumped around stars and went to any and all POIs that were hostile activity. Got to level 3 really fast like that.

                The easiest way to get POIs is to buy slates from vendors, pick up tracker missions for combat, and when you scan planets land at the first random place that shows up. Also, it really helps to hail ships and ask.

                    I found some in a misc items for sale at a couple of different places. Maybe I sold them? IDK but they weren’t in the buy back part.

      Yeah I noticed that too was kind of cool, but how come we can’t get to space that way normally haha
