Quick question, I checked out a mostly empty planet a few months back and found a substantial number of bandits in the area on the ground. At least 1-2 groups per plot. Now, however, I'm having terrible trouble just finding one.
Did the rate of spawn change? Haven't been keeping up with all the sim news lately.
Bandits AND Creatures both spawn on Gas Giants (I have no idea if that's intentional or not), and now only within sensor range. I did have a problem trying to kill them though, because I get an error when I try to exit onto the terrain. I assume I'm missing some piece of equipment, or it's a bug.
Well, nothing has a gas giant terrain allowance (not even with items) at the moment, so though creatures and bandits may be there, it's impossible to hunt them.
I apparently has a really had a really unlucky couple of days worth of searching, then. On a separate note, you don't have to deploy rocket launchers. Neat.
