I'd drop 20 bucks in an instant for a JLP voice assistant in game.
Can you imagine the "Engage" every time you jump?
OK. I'd drop 50 for it.

Yes, that's correct, but flying really slow at less than 200 meters and using the external camera doesn't help because they (Osseus (stone giants)) look just like rocks depending on the angle of the light. They didn't seem to be this difficult before, it can be easier with the SRV and spotting them sticking up on the horizon. IDK, I'll figure something out.
Meesa so agree!

I thought I saw one of these scurrying around on the ground, guess I'm getting blerrie eyed.
Too many Starship Troopers quotes to choose from...
I've just departed the Ironstar Varangia (she's orbiting one of those black and red metal planets you can see to the right) and got a bit of a result there, although I was unable to sell the Exobiology data as no Vista on the megaship. (There WAS a Pioneer Supplies that had grade 3 Dominator and Maverick suits and I've already got those but I posted about it in Caring and Sharing.)
Anyway the exploration and codex data I just sold earned me almost 500 Million CR and I've now made my first billion in total. I also got promoted to Elite II as an explorer.
Not only that but I'm still in the Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm region, 10.800 LY from Sol and there's still lots more to discover on my way back to the bubble (if it's still there that is.) There's another megaship on the way back (sort of anyway) so I might call there to sell more.

That ship is part of the Colonia Bridge, there ought to be another 29 direction bubble.I've just departed the Ironstar Varangia (she's orbiting one of those black and red metal planets you can see to the right) and got a bit of a result there, although I was unable to sell the Exobiology data as no Vista on the megaship.

Aye I had a feeling it might be something like that. There's quite a few of those ships around there I could have gone to.
FYI, there is also the Deep Space Support Array set up to support explorers: https://fleetcarrier.space/search/dssa
The contrast between them and the real rocks and dirt varies depending on the planet and lighting there, I have been on some where they are enough brighter than the surface to shine out and be visible from beyond minimum sample distance and others where they are almost indistinguishable.
Must read that again.
I sort of wish they would make a film from the book rather than one just using some of the names and the title.
Come on, you apes! You wanna live forever?
Two jumps out from the Cat's Paw sector and immediately into unexplored systems. Plenty of F and G types, densely packed, and nobody had visited the first 4 I picked at random. This feels like a good place to linger a while! Can actually still see a bit of the nebula, it's just not dominating the sky any more.
Pondering whether to do some bio scanning in this last system; 4 ammonia planets, 2 carbondioxides, and 4-7 bio signals on each one. With the promised increase to bio data value, this could be a very lucrative system indeed... Guess I will check out which ones have a photogenic skyline.
If you're heading back to the bubble, consider that your exploration data can buy allied status with a station's controlling faction. About 15-20 million usually does it, so selling page by page (or system by system if you have some very valuable ones) can set you up with a zone of high quality jobs later on
Only downside is you often have to relog to get the station to admit that your rep has changed

I've narrowed down the exploration data sales value to get instantly allied to be between 12 and 13 million. That is unless the system population or some other factor has an effect on the amount you need to sell for allied status. I don't think that is the case.Two jumps out from the Cat's Paw sector and immediately into unexplored systems.

I'm waiting until after 29 November and update 14 until I do any exobiology again.
So what's up with that? What am I missing?

I am heading back there, but with 216 jumps to go to reach Deciat, honking everything and landing at quite a few planets on the way I'm not sure if I'll get there before Christmas. And I don't even know WHICH Christmas.
Anyway, right now it's "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." This moon isn't much like Twickenham but it does seem to have some GINORMOUS and very busy moles. There's water geysers down there though, which I've found are the most reliable source for prospecting in Odyssey, so I'll land there in a moment.
Well, my first try at a exploration tour did not last too long...
Due to some heavy interference of this other game calle real life, I decided to return home.
Not sure if I even made it outside of the bubble, even though I did not see any inhabited systems. I made it out to Col 285 Sector OE-P c6-11. Thought I had found a few unmapped planets on my way there, but I guess another commander had been there before me and returned before me. Still earned some credits from this trip.
I will definitely go out there again, once life has settled down again...

Update 14, more credits for biology.
They are increasing the payouts

So, they've named the first Stargoid "Taranis." I looked it up. It's the name of the God of Thunder in Celtic Mythology.
Doesn't bode well, does it?
