Hey.

I went there today after the mission "Sphere of ingluence" and i was waiting for some nice continuum for the story arc, instead i have just given a bunch of pewpew stuff to do with extremely few words or story involved, at least nothing apparent.

Is this zone just some daily hub to do grinding or is there some actual story? So far i have completed 4 episodes there just by flying around, this does not feel right..

    If you are talking about Solaene, then there are some scattered notes and something in the park/forest are(no spoiler). But other than that the place doesnt have much in story

    Various pick up missions for marks and dil, access to the contested zone, access to space and ground battle zones.

    It's varied content.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Hmm, i guess i will scout the other sphere then and come back here to check things with better patience :dizzy:
    I was in fact assuming i would continue to Breen invasion but all breen and borg stuff are greyed out for me for some reason. I was thrown right to the sphere going past couple of story arcs that i was expecting to get after "Boldly they rode".

    I would also like to ask aboyt this mission in the contested zone "Secure Voth technology". I have arrived to location of said tech, i am about 10 meters from the assumed tech, all there happens is that waves of Voth ships spawn endlessly to the tech location but no matter how many waves i defeat, the tech re,mains in place and i cant interact or anything else to actually collect it to complete mission. What am i doing wrong?

    After doing these episodes, i do not believe they should be called as eousides at all. Feels more like "Introduction to Sphere"m tour which could be one episode but not in any means 5.

    A hub for grinding unique ground and space content. There might be a story to it if you have a vivid imagination. Apparently somebody got drunk and came up with the idea of dinosaurs with laser beams. It didn't feel right to me either, those episodes are just an introduction to the zone.

    Everything you've posted seems to be a pretty accurate assessment of things. That being said, once you're able to find your way around and figure out how things work a bit better, things should improve.

    You see this a lot in MMORPGs, basically developers make an area designed for play at level cap. Full of mostly repeatable missions and stuff like taking control of areas. And then quests to introduce all those missions.

    Only the level cap (or game) moves on and that place gets abandoned. And so it seems out of place.

    The story arcs being greyed out is something that others are suffering from as well.

    Just do those "episodes", pull them off like a bandaid and dont cry like a baby. It only takes a few minutes and you get rewards.

    If fact doing them answers your exact question! Whats it all about. Smh

    Another thing I've mentioned before is that they should make new weapons for the Delta-Q species and add a section for the g-weapons vendor in both spheres.

    The story of the Dyson Sphere is mostly played out through the Reputation System. You do the combat missions and amass Dyson Sphere marks, which you then use to level up your reputation through five tiers. At each tier you unlock a cutscene that fleshes out the story a bit.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    There's plenty to do in there. Just gotta go find it. I go there mainly for Dyson marks (read: dino hunting).

    Yeah, there's a glitch with "Sphere of Influence" and "Sunrise" where they unlock at level fifty whether you've completed the missions ahead of them in the storyline or not. That may be what you've encountered.

    Besides the Dyson and Undine Marks, the Solanae Sphere is a good place for DOffing; there's two Exploration assignments in the Allied Zone (one at the top and one at the bottom of the map), there's all the assignments available in the starting area of the Undine Zone, in the 'Current Map' tab you can find a steady supply of Science, Trade, and Exploration assignments with the occasional Recruitment one tossed in..
