So... we're some 170 clicks east of the Peak, probably the same number north... and theres a lot of uncrossable land between us.

Do we really have to travel all the way back? The concept is great, but this isn't as much.

There's nothing out here, we couldn't find any dimensional rifts, and its going to be a long hike back.

Is there an autopilot that returns to the nearest dock, or something?

Not that i know of, Saran flew out to magnagora looking for seren (i know eew) then when through a few slipstreams found seren, headed back, found one of them power things (looted it for two power, but baddies turned up), then headed home.

EDIT: I'm hoping the skillchoices will allow us to move quickly from one location to another.

hehe actually if i remember correctly i flew past you when you were near magnagora

You did yeah, but we've gone much further since then.

So, you went through the streams?

Yeah - we have been past the slip stream for a good while. We are now in the aether storms, the BIG, wide aether storm field one.

Nice. With only a collector and an empathy net i didn't really feel like going too far.

Elryn's has a couple turrets, cloak, empathy...some gem things. It's all good, we're just in the middle of no where.

We're not far from Serenwilde...had issues targetting the damn gorgogs though.

And as the bored travellers continued their journey into the Astral Plane - they notice a Aether Bubble! THEY ARE ASTOUNDED!

Ok, hold the phone.

Bubble was nearby! We just can't get to it!

If i remember correctly Serenwilde was southeasty from a bubble.
You had to go though a tiny stream to get there

Hurry uppp Dia we need to relaunch! Can't let Elryn get all the glory, let's discover something before he does!

Dramube Triangle... interesting.

I believe something might be coded similar to astral nodes, because when Diamante's ship started drawing power from a vortex 6 hydrian showed up all at once, their ship didn't stand a chance, and Avaerin barely made it out alive.

Edit:which in itself is interesting, you could make an armada(once the armada channel bug gets fixed so we don't spam the whole basin again ) and then have a ship drawing from a vortex while they and a few others kill all attacking monsters, if you had enough people/ships it would be a wonderful way to get power, and karma, and experiance if it went on constantly for long enough I geuss.

Edit:Yes, after reading some help files, it turns out they are attracted to you when you siphon from a vortex.

Aye cap'n, she can't take much more! She's goin' to blow!

This whole "monsters are attracted to you draining power" thing on Astral and Aether is setting a bad precedent. I'm waiting for the day that I get jumped by gorgogs for drawing from Mother.

we were drawing a bit, It was something like for every 4 draws 1 monster spawned, not bad at all when you have 3 turrets/grid/ect.

I'm so not carrying around a turret in case I get jumped at my nexus. You know how heavy those probably are?

Avaerin, which is like, 52 rooms, was crusing really fast. Probably because of the upgrades, but still - I was expecting it to be much more sluggish.

Have you heard Estarra's comment about Deepnight? *chuckles* poor Richter
