Erra – A New Hidden Quest and/or Cinematic

Turns out that there’s a hidden quest that came alongside the Empyrean update! Well, not really a quest, more like a short cinematic teaser that is locked away in some retched corner of the Veil Proxima. I should point out now, this is massive spoiler material. Material I shouldn’t even see, because I don’t have Intrinsics 7 yet, a clan mate who has rushed through everything helped me and other clan mates get to the mission. But more on that later. Spoilers ahead! The cinematic is about 8 minutes long, including loading times. It really is just a cinematic. I… [Continue Reading]

The Sudden Very Obvious Empyrean Meta

It’s only been like a week, and already a meta has evolved in Railjack missions. There’s literally no way around it though, due to the fact that each Empyrean mission is time-consuming and very hectic, even if you have a full crew of MR 27-28 players. With so much going on, you need everyone to do their tasks and do them well. Luckily though, it’s very easy to arrange a group into their respective roles. From what I’ve seen so far, there’s four main roles. One person focuses on flying; one person rushes around repairing things and occasionally shoots things… [Continue Reading]

Tips for Building A Railjack

The Rising Tides update comes with the quest to build your Railjack, but this quest isn’t easy. Not because of the high level enemies (most of them are level 30ish), the sudden bloom of Sentients (that spawn at random) or the time needed between component builds. No, the hardest thing, for a non-veteran player, is the cost and resources. These resources can be very taxing, even for older players. So here are some tips on how to get your resources more efficiently. Bring a Smeeta Kavat wherever you go Smeeta Kavats have the chance to double your resources. Even if… [Continue Reading]

SPACESHIPS! Retvik’s First Impressions on Empyrean

I missed the initial release. I’ll admit that. It happened at like 5am when I was fast asleep, tucked up in bed and dreaming of, well, not space ninjas. But as soon as I could get to my computer (after a Windows update or two, typically), I went and installed the 2.5GB update and went to see what was going on. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?) this happened at about 3:30pm my time, meaning I’d missed a lot of the initial rush and the rest of my clan jumping in. Sooo, Empyrean. The thing that comes after Rising Tides. The ability… [Continue Reading]

Rising Tides? More Like Waiting Tides!

After an utterly chaotic 133rd Devstream in which only two people showed up and one of the developers was drifting back and forth between his own stream and the main stream, the Rising Tides update hit unexpectedly on late Friday night, requiring a huge amount of farming and a huge amount of waiting to get your personal interplanetary battleship built and ready to fly. Assuming you don’t rush the Dry Dock, it’s a good day’s worth to build the Dry Dock, then two hours to deal with the research for the Ship Cephalon that you then need to replicate the… [Continue Reading]
