What is the worst thing you have done? I’m going to tell you and hopefully the subject of my confession does not see this
When I was playing a lot I loved to Hunt. But not meteors - instead I hunted expired beacons and loved every second of it. I piled up millions upon millions of coin and hundreds or thousands of every type of item without ever selling or crafting anything.
I never felt bad about any of them except one and it is the worst thing I have done. I had luke-warm relationship with a near by resident who had a massive super base. One day I logged into the game and noticed his plots were no longer showing up on the map.
I got super excited and ran to grab about half a dozen hammers and axes and hustled over and began raiding away. It took forever, the place was huge. I was so nervous thinking he was going to pop up any second or that some other player was going to come over the hill and see what I was doing.
The base was enormous and his shop stands were full of tens and hundreds of thousands in coin. I took everything of value and then it dawned on me. He had another super base on a different planet! I became euphoric as I wondered if he filled all his beacons at the same time. Could the other base’s beacon have expired?!?!?
It had! WOW, I could not believe it. But hold on. There was an orange icon on the compass at the base. It wasn’t green so I knew it wasn’t the owner. As I walked toward the player he must have thought felt a deep sense of shame because they turned and ran like wind and suddenly disappeared.
I would not have time to run back and forth between planets and I did not want to set up a portal that would lead to me being identified. I went half a planet away and made and quickly made a loot cave deep in the ground that I could get to easily from the sanctum.
Like the first base, looting this one took hours and the entire time my heart is beating out of my chest as I am thinking he will show up any second, or someone will see me, or even the other pirate will come back lurking. I got away clean with hundreds of thousands more items and coin. WHOO-HOO!!!
A short time later he is back and struggling to communicate with his PS4 controller. He informs me his base was raided “and they took everything.” I was super nervous as I could tell the conversation was part hello, part telling me the news, and part interrogation. It seemed like he would never leave.
It was crazy nerve racking knowing that he is standing there fishing for information with all his looted goods were behind a locked door just a couple plots away from where we were standing.
That is by far the worst thing I have done. The life of a Pirate! So much fun!
