The TEST Pioneer we bought already comes with the Land Claim

[Montoya]

Just as a reminder, the Pioneer we funded comes with the $100 Estate Parcel as part of the package.

It is being sold right now as a separate item, thankfully we already have one... or 1000 of them by the end of the day.

Should i buy one? I really want an asteroid base.

4kmx4km is a pretty big base on a rock.

Honestly, for the sake of giving money to CIG, sure.

But if you think having this stake gives you an advantage over players that will come along later, that is debatable.

 

[Talonsbane]

With all of this talk about building bases, I'm looking forward to the sort of designs as well as design features that we will be allowed to choose between. Also, I'm curious how much customization these outposts & estates will eventually have.

Will the claim be permanent? I guess not, do we know how long they will last? And I assume, if I claim land I can ask a friend with a pioneer to build stuff on that land?

Well we could I dunno... Stab them with it, I guess? I mean what can they do to us if they don't have a stake!

It may operate on a time based system where the owner has to pay a fee for the land at a set interval, as for a friend building on your land it may allow the owner options to white-list certain persons to be co-owners of the plot.

Having a land claim will give me a huge advantage over other players as I will already have a graveyard for all of my characters that die. Noobs will have to be cremated.

That's the problem with these, there's literally nothing on stakes so far other we can own them.

I'll pass for me, I can just visit other people's.

Yeah well what if I get a claim on a sun?

I can have BOTH brother!

 

[BUTUZ]

I'll pass for me, I can just TAKE other people's.

I agree.

you made my day, sir

Will the claim be permanent?

So, if i understood correctly the Land Claim FAQ, it is a permanent Land Claim, and destroying the becon will not change the ownership of the parcel.
Destroying becon will probably do something like disable the sensors that alert owner that someone is on their Claim.

So you will be able to exploit other's facilities (at your own risks) but you won't be able to 'capture' the claim or the facility, only occupy it.

And I assume, if I claim land I can ask a friend with a pioneer to build stuff on that land?

Yes, but i assume that the pioneer owner will probably ask you to provide/pay the outpost construction materials.
Also it said in the FAQ that you will be able, as claim owner, to allow its facilities acces to any individual or organisation you wish.:kissing_smiling_eyes:

I believe that you will not be able to permanently steal someone's land claim - but you may be able to disrupt it operations on a land claim, including taking over mining operations etc.

My Pioneer, and I suspect others in and out of TEST Squadron will be available to hire for constructing an outpost or whatnot on any UEE land claim. It will also be available for constructing non-UEE outposts. I'm kind of waiting for more of the mechanic to be outlined before working out all the details. I just know that's why I bought the Pioneer in the first place.

 

[drizzt001]

I thought when they sold the concept pioneer it was like "you can claim land with it"
Now it looks like you just get this piece of land included in the pledge....
Maybe I understand that wrong since English is not my native language...

 

[Vavrik]

The pioneer does come with 1 8Km X 8Km square land claim (This was from the the initial concept sale). I *think* it still comes with that.

 

[Liquor_and_ores]

Land claims are something I will buy in game since it will prob not come out for a long time after release.

 

[AntiSqueaker]

as a millenial this is my one and only chance to own land, sign me up daddy roberts

 

[Shadow Reaper]

Has anyone discussed the practical applications for this game dynamic? For instance, it seems to me that since most of us will live aboard our ships or at stations, a good use for land would be to clump claims together on inner system objects with good mining prospects. And one supposes people will be buying other players claims to extend their mining capabilities? Should be a thing. Homes we can move. Claims need more serious consideration.

And of course the condo development on the water is always a thing. Bring your own sailboat.

 

[Horatus]

Not just mining but refining too.

 

[Ganji]

just from experience in Arma and Dayz, getting land plot is the easy part, building the base, is the part that needs lot's of resources.

I am sure SC will be similar in a way.

So far only people with Pioneers will be able to build modules. As far as I know there is no other way to get them (?). That could make the pioneer very valuable.
