Mimir[IS] Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 OK, I whined about this before and thought it was sort of fixed. Bio-Extractors acting as if they were Virix ...bad enough there are now attacks when exiting stations but...now bio mobs are teaming up, hacking and killing within seconds? What has this game come to? COMPUTER: Bio-Extractor has hacked your engine. (0):15:40: 8 COMPUTER: Bio-Extractor is hacking MimirPS's systems.

Kyp [LDEV] Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Bio-Extractors are the space body snatchers. Their entire purpose for being is to harvest your organs for unknown reasons. ;P WHere did it happen near a station though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimir[IS] Posted September 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) I agree with what they are supposed to do, not just in groups of 4-5 acting as a coordinated pack. While I was fighting one 3-4 surrounded me and made me whine like a little girl. So this is normal pack behavior? Solo play is getting hard to play and I hate the thought of multi-boxing just to do a bit of mining. The Virix are around stations required for Progen upgrades...Take a walk on the wild side and visit a few. I can dig farther back in my log if required... ----------------------------Edit ------------------------ Hey Kyp...Here is the chat section. :14:32:31 [New Players] LeanneTS: Arx Spartoi, Endriago. Do yourself a favor and dock that station from the top-right to avoid undock ganking by vrix Edited September 23, 2018 by Mimir For Kyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanne Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I recall only two places where Bio-Hunters behave like that; 1) in the fields in Arduinne, where you can attract 5x CL46 and up to 2x CL55 if you are not careful. But those navs are not on your star-chart and its not a place where NPCs tell you to go. You are exploring and running into a bad place. 2) in XT near their stronghold in a grav-shear. Which shouldn't be a problem, the game warns you extensively via NPCs it's dangerous behind the forcefield. -- The Vrix at Arx Spartoi are a problem though. New characters and newly returning players who choose with progen already had the Primus hurdle, and the ambiguous hull-upgrade conversation at Warship Genesis/Aganju. But now they also get gimped at a station which handles parts of their starting missions and skill unlocks. Putting CL40 V'Rix there, was an unwise change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimir[IS] Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 The place I was mining was in neither of the places you listed. And there were 4 - 5 Level 50 Bio-Extractors that acted like the V'Rix. This happened about 8 months ago when I whined about it at that time. It seemed to be fixed. I was fighting one and had the other 3 or 4 show up almost instantly. I have a .09K sig so I didn't think I would attract that many that were not visible. And the whine continues, Mim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanne Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Is there something special about that spot that you don't mention the location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orionpax Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 I went to check out this thing...yeah a low level will be killed leaving the station. A touring group of 40's in a hexagon pattern are just doing flybys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimir[IS] Posted September 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 A miner usually does not give away their best-est mining spot but...I guess it isn't an issue anymore. I was in Lagarto. A high level ore field 7-9 and hulks to match. When there I can usually fight off what ever comes my way, or if 2 or 3 attack, I have time to power down and wait for their departure. 4-5 hitting me at the same time with the hacking of ALL abilities, sort of renders one incapable of a defense strategy. P.S. My PS is maxed of all abilities (except missile) And ammo, but this is relatively new. Mim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Database Object 19849 is for sure(!) too close to the station, that one is like 2K outside the station, it should be like 25K ? If any1 can replace the spawns before tomorrows restart and hola so i can sync DB... PS.: Im moving 19849 now in game (temp solution till restart). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedKite [CDEV] Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi Zack, I moved both offending spawms out last night & reduced the wandering zone of the one spawn to help stop it wandering towards the station and then seeing a target... Dev server won't let me in, so I haven't been able to double check its effectiveness, doh! it was my VPN causing the problem accessing Dev... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimir[IS] Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Four of the five Level 50 Bio-Extractors instant aggro. So are these now V'rix toadies? Just asking, Mim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackman [LDEV] Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 ?? Bios were always instant aggro .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimir[IS] Posted October 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Yup, but the pack aggro is something that I never had to deal with...see other posts on it. So is it possible for the devs to wipe my PS and transfer my points to a Jenny with cloak? (Kidding) paper is not a good hull material.

Would be hard to guess without a listing of your cores , weapons (type) and devices. below is the list useable by Progen sentinel , of equipped item to lower signature , aa Bahtu Sa (L5) A fragment of Ancient technology. Aspiration of the Faithful (L9) A revolutionary Mordana reactor design utilizing a unique crystal. You do not fully understand how it works.

Cecilia Serrano-Basilio bartered with Baron Samecli's order eventually giving up her share of the Chavez mining operations. Cecilia has been happily disrupting Red Dragon mining operations ever since. Baron Samedi's Ara controls damage done to weapons, increases Missle Weapon skills increases scanning range, and decreases ship signature. This launcher uses Chavez Ara Missles. Baron Samedi's Iku (L6) Miguel Chavez sacrificed many Red Dragons before coming across this weapon, though it is unknown why a Red dragon was in posseeion of such a scared arifact. Miguel then granted Baron Samedi's Iku to Juan Pelayo Arnedo who is believed to be the one who will capture the traitorous Javier Montero. Baron Samedi's Iku controls damage done to weapons, increases Beam Weapon skills, boosts scan range and reduces ship's signature. Baron Samedis Arun (L6) Baron Samedi's Arun was given to Rosa Garcia y Garcia by a Houngan as a symbol of the covenant Rosa has given to return to the service of her order.

Moulinneuf Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) The net-7 database as ZERO return for any ** Activated ** reduce ship signature item for Progen Sentinel they cant use the Musca device line ( Jenquai only ) nor the Pleiades Reactor line ( Progen restricted ) ---- Might be an opening for a new mission idea for Agrippa or research by some progen into stealth borrowing/copycating depending on the Dev and CDEV willingness to adress this suggestion make it a recover musca and pleiades mission to give to a progen NPC who then ask you to learn to build new progen devices ( based on Musca ) and reactors ( based on Pleiades ) and engines lines ( ask for lower solar sail from bogeril for study ) from the returned item he select . NPC name sugestion could be : MimIr the Sentinel researcher could be introduced into the Ceres base for additionnal hardship ;-) Edited November 1, 2018 by Moulinneuf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmtyrance Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Yeah i complained about these mobs alot too. In live they were not this powerful and attacked in groups like they do here. In live one of the best hunting spots was around OMP. The claimjumpers were great lvl 20 mobs to hunt. But now its ruined by these bio extractors sneaking up on you will you fighter the other mobs.
