The strange thing is that the ship just appeared out of nowhere, which makes me think there's one of those hidden jump points that I just need to travel through from another system in order to discover. Are wormholes a thing in this game?

You can reorder a survey of the destination system, from uh... some menu, which will reveal any previously hidden jump points. I'm not really sure what you mean by "wormholes" in this context.

I thought I remembered something about wormholes or something. I don't think they were called wormholes though...

Also, what's hyperspace?

[Aseaheru]

 There are inter-system jump points in some systems, and there appears to be a tech at some point which removes reliance on jump points, but which stars block for a fair amount.

Hyperspace is a depreciated mechanic. You used to be able to research a "hyperdrive efficiency" tech for your engines which made them bigger, but also increased their power by a factor of 10 when the ship was far enough away from the star. Useful for exploring the Kuiper belt and reaching those far away B systems.

There is one mode of travel I can think of that opens a wormhole, but you'll see it as a fuchsia dot on the screen; it's definitely not hidden.  They'll also only appear in very particular circumstances, which are not active by default.

Seeing one in a star system means an imminent visit from the Invaders who destroyed the Precursors aeons ago.

Whaaaaa???  Just went from 6.XX to 7.10 and noticed that I wasn't finding much for minerals in my home system.  Took a look at why I still didn't have another source of sorium and found that it'd take 26 years to finish the survey of Jupiter alone...

Not sure what is causing it... this is the first time in a while that I've had both grav and geo sensors on a ship at the same time.  I do get an "Error 6 Overflow" every once in a while.

7.10 breaks saves

Is there any way to scrap/refit fighters?

[Mini]

Refitting is no, scrapping is check if it can be done at a shipyard otherwise abandon ship and salvage.

Fighter can be scrapped but not reffited in the industry tab, click on stock pile you will see all ship component you have prebuilt or salvaged/recovered from your wreck or refit orders and also your missile supplies, dont forget to scrap these old gen 1 missile if you never did it and has better one.

They're back boys! This is the Epsilon Eridani system. The thermal signature started from the same exact spot their other ship appeared at, which just reinforces my assumption that there's just a hidden jump point there. Fortunately, it looks pretty slow, so it's either a massive, OP ship or their tech is fairly low. Hopefully the latter!

If you can observe him jumping in, you might be able to identify the JP without flying through from the other side. Might need active sensors for that.

[coleslaw35]

oh god pls no

Probably a civilian ship.

[coleslaw35]

Probably a civilian ship.

Hopefully.

By the way, after it appeared, it went straight for the YZ Ceti jump point, but it's just sitting on it. It isn't moving (not that I have a problem with that.)

If anyone is interested, here's the race and flag picture. I am currently trying to make contact with them through diplomacy, but my best diplomats are still kinda meh so it's taking a while to establish communications with the aliens.

Handsome huh?

[Aseaheru]

With that size and action, it may be a gate constructor.
