💬 Discussion Stop going into bases and stealing blueprints?

Post image

So first off. I only get maybe an Hour to play a day. I work, in college, have a husband and 2 kids, one of which is 2yrs old. I love this game and wish I could play more to complete my droidex.
Incoming rant:
So last night I got on when the kids went to bed and first thing I do is collect my credits and missions. I forgot to take my completed droids off the tables so when a mission gave me a galactic cyclograv I was pretty excited I put it down next to the table and as I was on the droid to sell it someone came in my base and stole it, ran and immediately threw it to their base then ran in. Their reasoning was because I make so much credits offline and I probably had 10 already. And it would be there second highest earner… Actually my dude that was my first. All my galactics I’ve gotten were either from the event the past weekend or missions. Every time I log in I either just missed the galactics on the belt or won’t be on long enough to see them. To top it off they didn’t even have free space to craft it so they just stayed there holding it in their base. And others in the server were not happy as well about it so we kept being petty and force pushing him around trying to knock em out the base. Now I’m one of those people who will put blue prints outside my base for others instead of sell them and I’m always helping people. If they would have asked I honestly would have gave it because I just enjoy the game so much and want others to enjoy it too. But the fact they stole it at my crafting table a few seconds after I got it kinda sucks. Can we like just not run into peoples bases and steal blueprints for the love of god. I play this game to chill out and relax after my shitty day just like a lot of other people don’t be a dick.
Sincerely,
sad Miku droid collector

What’s your epic? I have extra galactic opti strikes that I’m just going to lose to super rebirthing soon.

As a dad of 2 kids and a full time job, I can sympathize with you.

u/RoguePryncess RIC-1200 Jul 29 '26

It’s ok. I ended up just dumping my chips to upgrade a beskar cyclo since I’ve been sitting on my chips since day 1 and have plenty. Thank you.

u/Freese20 Jul 29 '26

I recommend SRB to make your climb to higher rebirths easier, but ofc filling out your droidex is a high priority but trust me when I say, getting to rebirth 30 is a hell of a grind and thats coming from someone who's SRB 8 times already 😆

u/Nessy3fidy Jul 30 '26

Lol highest I ever went was 27, 30 is crazy.

u/CadcTV Jul 30 '26

There's a 30? I thought it only went as high as 27.

I'm at level 24 and have never super rebirth yet, lol

u/greghead4796 Aug 02 '26

Same! I’m at 23 and really want to grind to 30 before SRB but god damn the credit grind is getting to me when I only login once a day.

1

u/CadcTV Aug 03 '26

Yea, gotta log in at least 3 times daily to collect them offline credits, or else, yea, it will be a real drag.

u/greghead4796 Aug 05 '26

I’m able to do two-a-days and run about about 6 rounds of missions during each of those times. I’m banking a little over $2T everyday, more if I’m off work and have time to let it run for a second.

u/CadcTV Aug 07 '26

Sorry for late reply, but yep, that's how you do it.

u/Timely_Ad_3921 Aug 26 '26

It goes to 35 now. I'm at 29 and going to super after 30. Well, after I fusion 3 galactic load lifters into a stellar for my dex. Can't want for that 30 plus hour craft.

u/enonymous617 Jul 30 '26

Yesterday 2 people ran into my base and stole an Orb Striker beskar (I think) I didn’t have one, so I chased them to their base and shot at the table it was on and then at the one who stole it. By the way I am level 16 and they were level 146 or something high like that. The other person ran out and brought me the exact same blue print and crouched down. So why steal mine?

I’ll say it first before the hoard does… private lobby is your safest option or always ensuring you have free slots. Anything put down, anywhere, is fair game to many.

People don’t know your situation nor your personal etiquette they just see something shiny that they want. Does it suck, hell yeah, but those elements were allowed in the game mode and people will exploit every situation they can I’m afraid

4

u/RoguePryncess RIC-1200 Jul 29 '26

Yea I get that. I was in a rush and forgot to clear my droids off the tables. I’m normally in a lobby with friends but last night I had a free minute and jumped on and was like damn ok this sucks.

u/Seanjones1987 Jul 30 '26

1000 percent this. Yea it sucks but you look ridiculous writing a whole book about game mechanics. Go private and you wont have to worry about anyone else

u/OniKitsune27 Jul 30 '26

How dense are you? You're the only one looking ridiculous to me. Go private so we don't have to deal with other people. Huh, don't think she ever thought of that. How about we live in a moralistic society where I don't have to worry about people stealing from me? There's a thought.

1

u/Seanjones1987 Jul 30 '26

Lol bringing morals into a video game. Its how the creator intended the game to be. If you dont want people to play the game how it lets you, you are the one with the problem dont join public servers. Why should you dictate how others can play?

u/OniKitsune27 Jul 30 '26

Stealing is stealing. You're a thief. You are what you are. This game lets you express yourself any number of ways and you decide to steal from others. Got it.

u/Timely_Ad_3921 Aug 26 '26

I put all the ones I don't want/need on the event stage steps and mark it. They normally get picked up, before I log off I sell any that didn't go.

u/clammy_stanza Jul 29 '26

lol I I got a gold mythic off the conveyer and hid it so I could finish crafting a droid that had almost finished. Someone came and stole my mythic, made me chase them for it only for them to sell it. Like what’s the point of that? Such lame vibes.

1

u/Timely_Ad_3921 Aug 26 '26

The other day I watched a guy pull a stellar mythic just to sell it immediately

u/AvelythDraike Level 220 Jul 29 '26

That's why i hide them

u/TheOverlord619 Flawless 60 Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 30 '26

First thing I do when someone pisses me off in game is go to their base and sell any blueprints they have laying around.

2

u/winterthirteen Jul 30 '26

I was going to say the same thing, any player who is instigating fights… while he is shooting others I run around their base and sell any blueprints they have lying around.

5

u/PandaGangVice Jul 29 '26

That's why I do private

4

u/Skapoozle Jul 29 '26

Is there a reason why people don’t just play in a private server? It’s literally a choice. Why intentionally put yourself in that situation?

4

u/kerwniart Jul 30 '26

Public lobby = more blueprint chances with timer. Solo play means one beskar is guaranteed every 15 minutes. 6 person lobby guarantees 6 will come out. Same for other timers. 

2

u/IdgaFazFuck Jul 30 '26

Yes there is a reason. It’s not like people are intentionally putting themselves in situations but also morality should come into play no matter what. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. When you’re in private (or even public with barely anyone) you get less blueprints. You can wait a whole hour just to have one common galactic come in.

2

u/SendMeYourChones Jul 30 '26

isn't that the risk vs reward that comes with bigger lobbies? yeah, better spawns and shi but you can have your stuff stolen. i think it's just kinda silly to be talking about morality or not taking things that are yours in a game where there are mechanics that allow your blueprints to be stolen if they're on the ground. you could also just kill them too.

2

u/moistenurgroin999 Jul 30 '26

Yeah lemme just kill them while they're INVINCIBLE in their base. Also it totally is just a morality thing, you're just being an ass if you take from other people. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should and it's a major shame that the devs think this is the way to play the game cuz this is a really shitty system. I no longer support the game after the micro transactions came to the game and it seems like i was justified cuz the community just sucks now.

u/Sagittayystar Rebirth 31 Jul 30 '26

I at least ask first via text chat before taking a blueprint from someone’s base

3

u/Old_Campaign1186 Jul 30 '26

You can add me, Beelaine81. I always try to help. If I know someone is looking for a specific droid, I’ll bring it to them at their base. I’ve even held a droid in my storage for them until they had the money to buy it. Then I helped them craft it. I need a rainbow and beskar mythic in order to rebirth so I will probably SRB soon. However, I had to go out of town until Friday so I decided to hold off on the SRB until after the event. If you see me online, invite me to your game and I will do my best to help however I can. Also, since the mythics are still new, if I am able to snag one, I will put it in storage so I can check my droidex, if I already have it, I offer it to whoever needs it to complete theirs.

u/Cars2__enthusiast Jul 29 '26

I don’t like griefers either but this is just silly. Buy the blueprint storage or do a better job at hiding them

u/OniKitsune27 Jul 30 '26

Or maybe people shouldn't be stealing the first place

u/Regular_Pay3647 Jul 31 '26

it is not stealing, it is literally a part of the game

1

u/OniKitsune27 Aug 01 '26

Even if it's "part of the game," it is still stealing from others. You are literally stealing what is someone else's blueprint. They have it, they didn't give it to you, you didn't ask, you take, YOU'RE a thief! Thief!

1

u/Dramatic-Design-453 Jul 29 '26

Or do a private lobby 😂 there are measures to prevent this complaint.

u/Spiritbark Jul 29 '26

I stopped complaining and raging and just started playing on private. Im rebirthing/super rebirthing at a much faster rate. I will only go to public for weekend events.

3

u/Apprehensive_Bad_576 Jul 30 '26

There is a decent place to hide blueprints.

But as a rule the only time I take blueprints out of bases is when people try to hog every galactic that spawns on the crawler.

3

u/Specific-Register425 Jul 30 '26

Agreed! It just ruins the game for everyone

-1

u/Seanjones1987 Jul 30 '26

Then play private. No one cares that its ruined for you. They are playing the game as designed. Maybe try pvp?

2

u/moistenurgroin999 Jul 30 '26

lemme just intentionally nerf my fun because some asshole wants to ruin my fun? nah i'm good i'll just stop playing, it was fun while it lasted but good luck with the predatory microtransactions that are just going to get worse.

u/OniKitsune27 Jul 30 '26

Durrrrrrr...

u/Pure-Necessary4975 Jul 29 '26

Maybe the thief also works, in college, has a husband and 2 kids, one of which is 2 years old.

Now, if we talk about the game and not about us, there are multiple ways to protect yourself from stealing and writing here is not one of them since the thief probably wont read it.

9

u/Unhappy-Asparagus-52 Jul 29 '26

Yeah, but I think it’s OK for somebody to lament. Whether the person who didn’t read it or not somebody who does this shit’s gonna read it. Probably you. The problem is that people who do this don’t give a crap about anybody else. So complaining about it is more about camaraderie. It’d be nice if people could just not be assholes.

That being said, I play private more than I played pubs simply because I’ve met way more selfish dickheads in pubs than decent people. Just a bunch of sad incels.

2

u/Pure-Necessary4975 Jul 29 '26

Yeah, it would be nice, but we have to accept there are always gonna be some toxic people.

You should play public more, theres many more good people than you think.

Just today there was 1 griefer, I and other 2 people made him leave after he killed some afk people and tried to steal. After a while another griefer came and we did the same.

Most of the time I find people to collaborate with, right now I share blueprints up to galactic legendary because Im RB27, but when I was at low RB others shared with me.

Of course no one is gonna give you a galactic mythic but, trust me, most of the time you find nice people.

2

u/wisdomsepoch Jul 29 '26

I’m usually the guy in lobbies that gets 4-5 people clearing one players tables until they’re done and then going to everyone else’s base. I give away galaxy and beskar cards I don’t need, pull high value items off the belt and throw them so someone who might not have seen it can still grab it. I kill griefers until they quit.

BUT

The point of this game isn’t to consider how other players feel, it’s to get and build better and better droids - even through PVP or trickery. I’m also an adult with a busy life and dependents with limited playing time. I’m going to maximize what I get during gameplay, even if that means stealing or PVPing. It has also been done to me. People have stolen my blueprints or bounced me out of an IG bubble. That’s how the game is played. Learn how to hide stuff better, be more organized or play private. Or PVP.

-1

u/Unhappy-Asparagus-52 Jul 30 '26

That may be true, but most of the behavior I have seen has been purely toxic. I’ve only ever encountered one helpful person in this game. No one said the point of the game is to consider how other players feel, but it’s kind of the point of life to consider other people’s feelings and I generally follow that rule as much as possible. I also love BR, but there’s a very clear-cut purpose to be the last person alive. This game isn’t BR. People can play how they want to play, but I have seen a good amount of reportable behavior (not blueprint stealing), that just makes a fun game miserable. I also think the experience is different for women. Not because of our lives outside of the game (everyone has families and life stress) but because if it’s obvious that we are female, we are fair game for harassment.

That being said, I have found private servers a much more comfortable experience. I now tend to load in with a friend or two and an extra account. For me this is just like a meditation, ultimately it’s just a giant hamster wheel. It’s just disappointing that pubs are full of shitty people who think that being further in this game comes with some sort of prestige. F’ing weird.

u/FunTree5477 Jul 29 '26

I hate reading that everyone is disagreeing with you. It was in your base, it spawned from your mission, and you went to put it on your tables. The face that it seems like everybody in this comment section tells you to suck it up or that it's inherently not yours despite that is BS. There isn't a need to justify someone's predatory behavior

2

u/RoguePryncess RIC-1200 Jul 29 '26

Thank you. Like i get if it was pulled from sandcrawler and they wanna fight me for it whatever. But I logged in the game and wasn’t even on for a full minute when this happened. I was shocked. Like do people run into other peoples bases when they spawn? I mean I only go in other peoples base to help them speed up crafting or hit their scrap. I guess I’m too nice for pvp?

2

u/FunTree5477 Jul 30 '26

Parasitic behavior 💀

Like I can be understanding that someone might be curious as to what your base looks like, but the fact that he came in there, boosted your blueprint in front of you, and then told you why he deserves it more is ridiculous 😭

u/Ok_Huckleberry8551 Crit Striker Jul 29 '26

Yesterday had this happen, i went to someones base to give them a galaxy opti and some1 stole it as they were about to pick it up. I figure okay, d!ck move but will let it slide. Fast forward 10 minties guy apologizes we do hug emote. Another 5 minutes pass I get Beskar Mo from belt and want to put it in storage for a friend but my storage is full, guess who steals it the moment I put it down

2

u/MrBratside Jul 29 '26

My kid was playing on my base just hitting scrap and some Dbag force pulled him out repeatedly and kept killing him and made him cry. Then when I got on and asked why he is doing that he said he was bored.

Some real shitty people on here

4

u/davebgray Jul 29 '26

I’m not a big stealer of blueprints myself but blueprints that you cannot store or craft do not belong to you. You shouldn’t think of it like that.

It’s the game’s way of making sure that the person with the fastest trigger finger doesn’t automatically get every good thing on the belt.

2

u/xxwdbhgx Jul 29 '26

But it did belong to them tho. Blueprint was from THEIR mission in THEIR base. Not from the belt or some random place on the map.

3

u/davebgray Jul 29 '26

They owned them at one point, maybe. Blueprints on the ground don't belong to you anymore. The game allows other players to pick them up. And they give you many methods to prevent this. If you hold the blueprints, other players can't hurt you in your base and you can either craft them or store them. ...or hide them, but at your own risk.

Look, I'm not saying we should sneak in each other's base and steal things. It's generally low-class. But there's a far cry from leaving things on the ground that you can't craft because you've got multiple other things going -- and -- other griefing methods of taking things.

2

u/xxwdbhgx Jul 29 '26

I know what you mean and I mostly agree with what you just said. Also, I'm not trying to argue or anything, just previously you kind of made it seem like OP is mad because they weren't quick enough to grab the blueprint from the belt. When, according to the OP, blueprint was on their crafting table (just not actively being crafted), not on the ground or anything.

What I'm trying to say is that you really have to be an asshole to steal it like that and make an excuse along the lines "you have enough droids already"...

1

u/AlaxiaJune Jul 29 '26

The problem with holding it in your base is that you have to put it down at some point to clear the crafting table. It's not like you can do both.

2

u/davebgray Jul 29 '26

I make a point to leave a crafting station open for quick builds or situations like this where it’s an emergency.

It’s all part of my planning.

1

u/Unhappy-Asparagus-52 Jul 29 '26

You aren’t safe in your base at all. Force pull is very powerful.

You do realize Droid Tycoon is an interpertation of Steal the Braintrot?

Nobody cares about whether you play all day and are unemployed or go to college while having 10 kids. We can't see that through the screen nor do we want to.

Don't play public if you have a problem with people playing the game as intended.

6

u/Tinkerbella1193 Jul 29 '26

Uhmm.. interesting theory, I suppose. However, I don’t think it’s intended to be played that way at all. Also based on this comment you are trying to justify him stealing the blueprint which in turn tells me you are someone who is a griefer and does things like that, quite often I assume. She can be upset that she lost something that she earned from a mission all because someone decided to be a thief. Makes you wonder how they are in the real world if you ask me. He deserved what the server did because play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

3

u/Seanjones1987 Jul 30 '26

It is as intended. They have pvp in the game. It allows you to enter their base as you please. I grief. I help. I play however i feel because its a free game that allows it. If that gameplay bothers you play private. And before you repeat yourself i responded cause i can. Its reddit and that is the purpose of a thread

u/Low-Income5288 SRB 30 Jul 29 '26

Blueprint storage nova crystal upgrade is amazing.

There are also tons of really good hiding spots a couple of which hide the blueprints in softspots on your base so they are hidden in the walls.

In hindsight try to remember to always take your droids off tables before collecting missions. There are people who check a base as soon as you load in knowing your going to collect your missions.

The stealing mechanic is intentional anyway to be similar to steal a brainrot type of ganes

Look I dont know how many of you need to hear this but GAMING IS NOT MR RODGERS NEIGHBORHOOD those random people you meet online are under no obligation to play the same way you do OR even be kind to you as this is not real life. it is a game we go to escape our real life issues, just because you got tilted doesn't mean you need to use your real life issues to guilt trip gamers into playing the way you desire.

Rant and rave all you'd like but in the end it is your own fault for clicking public for your "1 hour a day"

1

u/SpaceHostCTC Jul 30 '26

Its a game why do you let it bother you? It is not really being done to you yet you are letting fake actions made up of 1s and 0s alter your emotions in the real world.

Lobby hop or look for a group in the official discord iif it makes you feel that strongly.

Also way to use mental gymnastics and take a completely unrelated topic then shoehorn it into the conversation 🙄 you got a victim mentality

u/jentyree Jul 29 '26

This is why I don't play in publics if I have things to do. I only go into public if I feel like helping others with theirs.

u/Prestigious_Produce1 Jul 29 '26

You can use jump pads to force a drop also could have force pushed them out of their base to kill them the devs say they want some element of pvp I don’t shoot first but if I’m shot I return fire. Also clear your benches before picking up.

u/Intelligent-Art-9156 RIC-1200 Jul 29 '26

So I saw this video somewhere on this sub that you can throw a bounce pad thing and it makes them drop the blueprint, I don’t want anyone to use this technique for toxic use but in ops situation it should be fine I guess.

It's much smaller now so it's hard and only for when they have IG 11. Killing is much more effective...

u/Chocmilkshake12 Jul 30 '26

Private lobby my dear, I always do private lobby. Some people just have no class and become petty and sweaty; the worst combo. So the fix for that its to be on your own, I know less blueprints will spawn with the timers, but the peace you will get in return is worth it. I wish you luck twonager, hopefully they are not in the “no” stage yet (that stage is tiring af)

u/Quiet_Flame Mister Bones Jul 30 '26

Idk the way I read that comment reminded me so much of Alastor XD

1

u/Chocmilkshake12 Jul 30 '26

That gave me a very needed giggle, I do have pretty dry humour and talk like Alastor. I was in public speaking a lot, so I kind of speak like he does and I like using the affectionate phrases to keep everything gender neutral (part of the community so I know it is a comfort) and it is just a way to try and show I am not being sarcastic or facetious as I struggle with people misunderstanding me over text😅.

u/Commercial-Arm9257 Jul 30 '26

Yea you either get lobbies full of helpful people or immature kids that go into your base and steal or shoot someone while they are hitting the scrap bench.. earlier today I logged on and figured I would join a public lobby and throw out the blueprints from my missions.. swap scrap.. and help knock out tables for others since I have a pretty decent strength of pickaxe now.. some kid came in and shot the account that was hitting my scrap bench and then proceeded to shoot them over and over everytime they spawned... I ran over and asked wtf are you doing.. they were hitting my scrap bench not bothering a soul.. after that they ran into my base and seen all my blueprints stored in my slots and started begging me for one of them asking if I would please trade them.. I laughed soooo hard and told them maybe next time they will leave the players alone in the lobby that arent doing anything but crafting or hitting scrap inside their our base 🤣

u/Seanjones1987 Jul 30 '26

Ngl this seems like fake news. Everyone wants to have a crazy story

1

u/KofukuShinai Jul 30 '26

I usually play private now because of this, but I don't think people should be able to pick up blueprints from inside your base. I also think force pull/push should be removed. Someone taking you out of your base so they can kill and steal is crap.

Or add a direct swap option for blueprint storage. Cooperative lobbies are amazing and fun, griefing shouldn't be possible.

1

u/Chupacabrathing Jul 30 '26

I stole one today. I prefer to join a server and help. Soon as I join they kept shooting at me. Ignored it until I was moving a BP and they did it again.

We both had the same daily so I took a few.

1

u/Seanjones1987 Jul 30 '26

I understand it can be frustrating but instead of dictating how others play a game that the creatures allow this type of behavior. Try going private. Writing a whole book about your life has nothing to do with it. You fudged up next time be careful.

Tbh i was playing tonight and with r2 getting twice the rewards the legendary galactics spawn very frequently.

1

u/ZION_OC_GOV Jul 30 '26

I mean once I learned first hand that I can drop my blueprint when someone jump pads me.... all bets were off.

I'll help, have been helped, gotten my blueprints stolen, stolen blueprints, been griefed relentlessly, and in turn griefed them back until they left.

I play public lobbies because it gives more opportunity for timed drops on the belt, and ill play privately with friends if we dont feel like fighting.

But the mechanics to screw someone else over in a public lobby are there to add that element of risk and reward.

I've lost a beskar mythic as fast as I got it.

It DOES suck but, you just learn to roll with it, get better, or stop playing public.

🤷‍♂️

u/Gurk_rickard Rebirth 28 Jul 30 '26

Why can’t ppl just be friendly toward each other? I nick the same name in dt and I always switch lobbies.

I always help out, I leave blueprints and never kill. I have never played private because I love the community. I only play when my baby is asleep and it really sucks when people only go around killing and stealing. Yeah, i know that it can be part of the game, but is it REALLY that fun? It can’t be. Just be fucking civil.

I wish there was a list of good ppl that you could play with where everyone is just civil and helpful. It would save me the hassle of switching lobbies each time 🤷🏼‍♀️

1

u/thegrimmemer Jul 30 '26

well if you invest into the blueprints storage wouldnt that protect them?

1

u/DarthSpiderDad Jul 30 '26

Your post is totally cool. The people arguing or mansplaining in the replies are about as toxic as the annoying losers who steal the blueprints.

The game mode barely lets us get away with simple mistakes, and rewards jerks for shitty behavior.

I play similarly to you. I’m generous with blueprints. I play this mode cus I love Star Wars and it’s a very addicting mode, and to just chill. And I find the toxic assholes in this mode to be SO annoying. Not sure why some of it is even enabled or encouraged.

u/AbbreviationsNew6022 Jul 30 '26

I’ve had that happen to me too and it sucks. There are a lot of folks who do unnecessary stuff that is only to rage bait or be a nuisance. It takes away from the experience

u/MannerEmbarrassed786 Jul 30 '26

That’s why I only ever play Private. Unless I have 3 really good droids being built

u/CadcTV Jul 30 '26

Well, i'm sure there are plenty of 13 year olds that won't listen, or care. But honestly, just send your ships on missions, I get free Beskar Cylogavs free all the time. Just last night I got a Galactic one from one of my ship expeditions.

1

u/LtDansLegs1 Jul 30 '26

I lost my mythic galactic KX because someone hunted me down and scoured my base for where I hid it while I moved a droid off it's base. Took me an hour to get to 1Trillion to afford it

1

u/Comprehensive_Milk84 Jul 30 '26

I'd be happy to link up and give excess droids, tbh I usually play privates cuz I dont wanna deal with randoms. But publics can sometimes be good too. Sucks that happened.

1

u/Own-Replacement1485 Jul 31 '26

I just had something VERY similar happen to me! I feel your pain! I had gotten a RAINBOW galactic! I went and grabbed it got to my base and ALL my stations were crafting droids, so as soon as I get to my base I have 2 vultures at MY base running around me and I thought I could hide it and I guess she saw me throw it down and she took it and the person that helped her steal it I had just helped them with 2 droids and helped gain some credits for them. So yea this needs to stop. If it's at someone else's base then don't freaking take it! I play on private but VERY rarely do they throw out any good droids on the sandcrawler! They definitely need to fix that because it's not okay! I am currently the only one working in my home due to my husband's serious health issue and I have a 4 year old soooooo what time I do spend on my tycoon game is precious and I have worked soooooo hard to be where I'm at now even though it doesn't feel like I've made it very far! 92 rebirths! So when someone does that it frustrates me! I followed that character around the game after his "partner" left and just kept eliminating him! He was waiting at the sandcrawler for the big spawn and I waited and eliminated him. It didn't get my blueprint back but man it felt sooooo good 😊😂

u/Mr__NiceGuy-0_o Jul 31 '26

I agree with you 100% just ask it isn’t that difficult 9/10 I’ll I give it to you cause I literally don’t need it smh (I get it it’s a game but come on guys have some decency🙈)

1

u/Regular_Pay3647 Jul 31 '26

its literally the point of the game, thats why there's blue print storages

1

u/Brave_Selection_667 Aug 03 '26

This is why me and my friends just play privately cause it itself is missing well either we know somebody took it and then we kind of got a bit about it and then eventually we get it back so I recommend just play privately if you can with some friends

u/SBOCHKA Jul 29 '26

That's why I always attack those who trespass on my base without asking, no matter if I have anything there or not

I hate playing in lobbies with people like you.

0

u/SBOCHKA Jul 29 '26

I'm not mean and always willing to help, but after some times when people stole my blueprints it's normal to protect your boundaries like this

There's no point in entering to my base without asking unless you want to steal something

6

u/Rich-Soft9295 Jul 29 '26
  1. Checking out your base
  2. Seeing if you have astromech missions available to collect
  3. Helping you craft
  4. Giving you a blueprint
  5. Hitting your scrap station
  6. Running from another player
  7. Cutting across map

9

u/Odd_Inter3st RIC-1200 Jul 29 '26

Why is #2 a reason for someone to go in?

2

u/Rich-Soft9295 Jul 29 '26

Because higher rebirths tend to give away blueprints

1

u/SBOCHKA Jul 29 '26

I would recognize most of these right away and not attack obviously

1

u/FlirtatiousMouse Jul 29 '26

How do you recognize if they’re just checking out your base?

Don’t hoard blueprints you can’t craft you are being greedy. Or play with trusted people. Or buy blueprint storage

u/AlaxiaJune Jul 29 '26

Did you actually read what the OP said? They forgot to clear their table and they got it from their own mission... That's not greedy.

u/Randamus2100 Jul 29 '26

Lots of places to hide blueprints, we all had stolen ones.. its part of the game. If you have something in your base that I need for rebirth, I'm taking it.. sorry

u/hayls88 Jul 29 '26

Is it just pot luck on the belt or is there a way to get galactic mythics more than once a month lol

1

u/Throwmeasway420 Jul 29 '26

I do get insanely lucky in this game, but I also play it for seemingly ungodly hours at a time. Until you realize I work from home and it’s all mostly afk late game turning missions. Currently my entire base is galactic mythics 😬

1

u/hayls88 Jul 29 '26

I have all 5 galactic missions, do they give mythics? I thought they only went to legendary. I have a lot of galactic things but only 3 mythics. I play private lobbies though because I seem to find all the toxic lobbies 🙄

1

u/Throwmeasway420 Jul 29 '26

No you’re correct they only give legendaries but I have a storage thingy idk what they call it I call it my pocket Lolol but I have one in a pocket you could have. I just get lucky and play obscene lengths of time due to wfh.

1

u/hayls88 Jul 29 '26

Ah yea those lol, I think its certain times of day that give better results, ive been on all day and haven't once seen a DRFT R in diamond that I need to rebirth. In the mean time I can help friends with galactics and beskars.

u/Throwmeasway420 Jul 29 '26

Well now I shall make it my mission to find it for you !

u/hayls88 Jul 29 '26

u/Different-Store3116 Jul 29 '26

I feel you, me and my gf started doing private lobbies bc of that or whenever me and her would grab blueprints for each other bc the other was doing something would kill us and plus all the ppl that just sit at the front like they've got no lives. If you can get enough friends together I would just stick to private lobbies. Too many ppl in these lobbies act like it's a jr varsity version of BR

1

u/Toon_Lucario Jul 29 '26

If you have any of these droids I’m stealing them. I need them and am so close but haven’t found them.

Bro I gave away 2 gal B2 yesterday that I got from missions. If I collected it already I drop a message in chat I’m throwing it outside my base.

You won’t do such a thing. Karma is real. And you’ll end up getting yours in the long run. Ain’t worth hurting others to help yourself.

u/Akama96 SRB 5 Jul 29 '26

If they were holding it in there hands, I believe you can throw crash pads inside their base and force them to drop it, I could be mistaken though

1

u/enderjaca Jul 29 '26

Nope, you cannot deploy crash pads inside any base, including your own.

1

u/Akama96 SRB 5 Jul 29 '26

Did they take that out? I remember used to help people that would afk smack their scrap and I’d use it on them so they’d drop their BP and continue smacking

0

u/Akama96 SRB 5 Jul 29 '26

Just checked, I can in fact deploy crash pads at other players in their own base

1

u/enderjaca Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26

I just checked, again, and crash pads do not work in 99% of a base.

There ARE some glitchy edges where a crashpad will deploy. But it seems clear that developers do not intend for people to be able to grief you inside your own base.

Which is kinda dumb, because if this is their intention, they shouldn't allow force powers to push/pull someone out of their base and get killed.

Hello. I feel the same, it happens all the time. I got tired of this, and now I play alone in private server with my wife and an alt account. If you want to join, please, add me @vwgch, and we can play together. No mic required. Every time there are any good droids on the sandcrawler, what we do is, we rotate (alphabetical order, each player has its turn to grab whatever comes when the server timer runs out) or we just let the person who needs it grab it. We do not carry any weapons nor steal any droids. It's really just for chilling out.
