Elite: Game talk

Going back to Ross 342, I'm definitively a Bubble player.

It's good to have this service onboard the Carrier... (First of two pages).


Gone are the Beluga Liner and Anaconda, I have no use for them, but I have plenty of freshly engineered modules in stock....

First stop: CEOS where I can park the Carrier, then take my Python (BusTruck) to Robigo for some Robigo Mines runs, buy tritium and go back to Ross 342.

This system is really good, I'm one jump away from all 3 types of material traders, can easily jump to Robigo for either Credit or Materials (Grade 4/5 Manufactured or Encoded) or Orrere for Grade 3/4 Raw (Orrere 2 B Anaconda Crash Site).

There are several Extraction sites for Bounty hunting and I can always do some trade routes too...

Does the noob zone even exist anymore? As far as I know the game now begins in HIP 97950 (Chamberlain's Rest).

It’s still in the game, but despite having the icons(and permit check) on the galaxy map, nobody is there… unless you’re playing in Legacy. Aka “dead”/unsupported 3.8 Horizons.

People have complained about it a few times on the (official) forums already. No comment from Frontier yet as far as I know, though. Because obviously the Odyssey content is so much more important than what the game was built on at its core.

And yet, due to the lack of implementation of a proper VR functionality in THIS version when playing on foot, I'm still doing the exact same thing I signed up to Horizon for: Flying ships.

Good thing I have a Fleet Carrier I can use for exploration, at least I can depart from the usual and extend the range of my exploration trips.

BTW, I decided to use the Krait because in some regions, the Carrier Router datas runs so thin, it's impossible to get a navigation computation from it...

The Pre-engineered FSD is back on the Krait until I figured what causes those stunts when boost is activated.

Maybe Sirius is mad about the whole situation and sabotaged your SCO FSD. Or the Club thought you're about to go places where you shouldn’t be....

I wasn't really keen on this SCO stuff at first, but it's pretty handy to be able to race from your carrier to the next planet (even if the initial exploration looks more like an initial crash now... But where there's no intelligent life, there's no speed limit and no complaints).

Other than from your ship systems, because the FSD bubble ‘dissolving’ spontaneously or without proper operating conditions seems to damage them…

People that want their shinies from exploded Titans, I'd suggest getting your hits on Hadad in. Providing all goes to plan*, it will be exposed to direct attack following the maintenance in some... 9? hours.

*Ignoring that plans usually don't like contact with the enemy but it will need a magic trick or very good distraction to buy another week of existence.

I think my O.S might have something to do with it...

In any case I'll order a new TWCS Throttle tonight to solve part of the issue, then see if the problem persists, I'm finishing fresh Apps install after a reset, for some people it might sound like a lot but I can work my way around it fast enough, a clean and stable system is a must...

If it haven't been for that (and a Virgin Media Broadband outage), I'd be in the bubble by now. When things goes wrong...

The only thing that comes out of there is vapor. What kind, can’t be sure, but it probably stinks too… if Thargoids use something like ammonia as coolant.

Not that you can smell it in space. And if those things ejected anything solid during normal operation, I’d be concerned.

It is not my fault our human minds are so inappropriate… and I’m not totally free of it.

I’d hope Thargoids are better with it, but I don’t know that.

Randomius, it's been a while since I watched those movies. Time to upgrade my brain memory with some AI stuff - where are the darn constructs when you need them...
