Moonside SHIP HUNTING IS BACK. I was definitely disappointed to see the last patch break the old technique for ship hunting on moons.

How's a poor Starborn supposed to get a shiny new spaceboat in a big dark galaxy? Work for it?! That's not how we roll as universeskipping superbeings.

In this video I show you an approach that allowed me to fill up my 10 ship spots quickly just landing on moons and stealing ships from Ecliptic, Spacers, Crimson Fleet, and [cough, cough, yes] a nice group of civilians. Can't say I'm proud of that, but the Vista III is a very nice ship.

"What if I want it more then they do?" Rocket Raccoon

By the end, I had another Ecliptic Claymore III, Spacer Hyena III, Crimson Fleet Wight III, Vista III, and several smaller ships (Ecliptic Falcattas).

0:00 Start
0:28 A ship magically appears at an LZ as I approach (it's a Dagger with a vendor)
5:29 LZ that did NOT have a landing site nearby
8:45 LZ that does have a Ship Landing Site nearby (I ultimately found three with my approach)
9:29 A wild Hyena appears!
13:20 Random security guard
16:17 Sonic booms and ship landings (Archimedes IVA) The payoff.

After grabbing the final Ecliptic Claymore III and parking at my outpost, I returned to find the 67 Ecliptic still patrolling the LZ. While I approached another Spacer Hyena III landed, a group of Spacers got out and a battle ensued. That video is posted in a YouTube short.

Great tip: @neognosis2012 pointed out that Copernicus IV has the same time dilation as Venus (100:1) and does NOT require a point in Habitation in order to put down a base and bed. Tested, confirmed, great scenic location. I went ahead and put a hab, airlock and landing pad there for future use.
