So uhh...what's going on with OSA at the moment?

[Tgo01]

All these crazy storms, I can't even look at the map!

Granted I haven't checked out the OSA ocean too much, but this is the first time I have noticed this. It's been going on for at least 24 hours now, or it just so happens to have been going on last night and tonight when I checked.

Is this a regular occurrence with the weather? Or is there some sort of event happening right now that is causing this?

There's a good chance that the volcano that has been erupting in the south pacific is playing a role in weather patterns. When it first erupted there was a good bit of talk that it may impact our weather patterns over the coming months.

I'm pretty sure this is one of the images of the eruption taken from the ISS.

LMAO.

I'm almost proud that I had no idea that this was about Gemstone

The Bermuda Triangle spawns both an intra-planetary as well as an intergalactic wormhole under the right weather and moon phase conditions.

No clue about OSA though. It's too boring and tedious to mess with.

Speaking of OSA, how do pirates spawn on enemy ships? Like can I just stay in one room and eventually all enemies will enter said room and I can slaughter them all? Or do I have to move through each room to find them/get them to spawn? If either works, is it faster to do one or the other?

It looks like the wiki has things detailed out pretty good. I only know the basics.

You don’t have to run around. If you want to speed it up you can move around and they do “ambush” style spawning. If you got a small group of dudes probably easiest to just chill and let the fun come to you
