On Foot: Difference between revisions

Exobiology focuses on identifying and cataloguing alien flora found on planetary surfaces using the [[Genetic Sampler]] tool. Upon assembling a complete organic sample from partial samples of the same species, that complete sample can be redeemed at [[Vista Genomics]] for [[credits]]. The first player to log a particular species in a [[Galactic regions|galactic region]] will receive discovery credit in the [[Codex]]. As the player documents more alien flora, they advance their Exobiologist rank.

{{Main|Concourse}}

Concourses are public common areas found at most ports, including [[Station]]s and [[Surface Port]] facilities. Players can disembark from their ships after docking and take a lift directly to the local Concourse. The Concourse is the only way to access certain services that are exclusive to On Foot activities:

*[[Vista Genomics]] - Redeem organic samples obtained with the [[Genetic Sampler]].

{{Main|Points of Interest}}

*[[Surface Excavation]]

There are different types of NPC personnel that can be encountered at settlements or points of interest. Their role determines which weapons and tools they are carrying, and what level of security authorisation they have at the settlement where they are stationed.

Most NPC personnel belong to a particular faction, though some may be representatives of [[Omnipol]], a special interstellar law enforcement agency that is independent of the Galactic Superpowers. Omnipol personnel wear distinct white-and-blue outfits with 'OMNIPOL' emblazoned across the chestpiece, as opposed to whichever faction livery they would normally sport.

Disembarking from a ship for On Foot activities is only possible on planets that fall within certain parameters. Ships cannot land on planets that have an atmosphere denser than 0.1 atm, and players cannot disembark onto planetary surfaces if the planet's gravity is 2.7 G or greater, or if the player's ship has a broken [[Ship Canopy|canopy]].
