An abandoned system in the Galactic Map.
Abandoned system is a type of star system.
Summary[ | ]
Inside an abandoned space station.
Abandoned systems were once inhabited by sentient life, but an unknown event forced them to leave. It still has everything any inhabited system has but without NPCs and few or no starships of any kind.
It is NOT an Uncharted system, although they are similar in some ways.
Characteristics[ | ]
Abandoned systems used to be inhabited by sentient life, but something forced them to either leave in a hurry or disappear from existence.
A heavily damaged Space Station is present. There is no Station Core. However, it has a still-functioning Galactic Trade Terminal and Teleporter but there is no market. Waypoints like Trading Posts and Transmission Towers are still present and functional, but most of them will be infested by Whispering Eggs and Biological Horrors. Buried Technology Modules and item crates can still be found in planets and moons.
It is not completely abandoned though. Pirates can still attack you if you stay in space long enough. Space battles can still occur if you warp here at certain times. NPC Ships will very rarely land at the space station.
Where to find[ | ]
Abandoned systems will only show up as (abandoned) once you visit them, otherwise they will look like ordinary systems in the Galactic Map.
With a Conflict Scanner and Economy Scanner installed, they will always have a low economy rating and no conflict rating (Not Available). Switching to the conflict filter may reveal that there is still conflict, though it will always be low.
Additional Information[ | ]
- "AbandonedSystemProbability" is a property related to the probability of which coloured system will be abandoned. The probabilities are as follows (GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN Prisms 3.53):
| Yellow | Green | Blue | Red |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0 |
- The presence of whispering eggs at buildings implies that biological horrors were responsible for driving out and/or killing the previous inhabitants. This is odd, as while certainly dangerous, biological horrors are quite easy to kill with the proper equipment, and are likely no match for an organized military force. This continues the trend of implying biological horrors are much, much stronger than they seem, or at least used to be. Other examples include the strange infestations found on certain derelict freighters. This is supported by the fact that abandoned space stations play the same alien sounds as derelicts.
