The Evac is an activity that prospectors participate in when they are ready to leave the surface of fortuna.
Description
After a visit to fortuna, every prospector should try to grab an Evac back to the Prospect Station in order to restock, sell loot and hand in items to Factions.
Explanation
In order for a prospector to safe get of the surface of Fortuna, they need too call in an Evac at one of the several Evac Locations scattered across the surface. Often found close to old buildings and Locations of interest.
During normal operation, a pilot is only willing to Evac prospectors while there is no Storm in the area.
Color of the lights
An important part of understanding the Evacs and how to safely scout Evac Locations, is to understand the multiple different colors that the lights may be illuminated in.
This can help a prospector know when they might have company and the state of their ride.
Constant yellow light
When all the lights around an Evac Location are illuminated in a constant yellow color, it indicated that the Evac at this location is ready to be called, but there is no one near it that is able to use that specific Evac.
Flashing yellow light
When the lights are flashing in a yellow color, this indicates that the Evac has been called and is on its way. If a prospector sees this and is not the one that called it, they should be aware that another prospector is most likely nearby.
Flashing blue light
If the lights are flashing in a blue color, this indicates that there is a prospector within range to call in the Evac, as with a flashing yellow light, prospectors should be careful if this is not triggered by themselves.
Constant green light
This indicates that the Evac have landed and is ready too be boarded. While a prospector is soon the be home on Prospect Station, it does not mean that they are safe yet. Until an Evac lifts off, there is still a risk of other prospectors closing in on them.
Flashing green light
A flashing green light indicates that the Evac is about to lift off. This is usually combined with the engines turning on and the Evac getting ready to leave. While almost in safety, prospectors always need to stay alert.
Constant red light
Constant red light mean that the Evac is unable to land, usually due to bad weather. Whenever the storm gathers, pilots will be less willing to risk their ship and will therefor not respond to calls for Evac. If a prospector happen to be in this situation, the best they can do is to find cover and wait until the Evac is available again.
Seasonal changes
Some changes to the Evac requirement and limitations is known to be possible during events, which can cause pilots to only fly in the Storm as an example. Here is a list of known changes so far.
Cataclysm
During the Cataclysm event, pilots would only land their sips during the Storm, turning the normal daylight into a time of no flying. This meant that prospectors looking to get back to safety were forced to fight against the weather, all while still staying aware of their surroundings for potential rival prospectors.
