I don’t think there is any requirement for all three samples to be in the same patch of blue.Yes I wondered about that! I have come across some very tiny blue areas before that were still just visible, but any smaller than that wouldn't be big enough to contain a single plant, never mind a complete set of three with a 150 meter distance requirement as is the case with Conchas.

No, I never did try any in Colonia and haven't spent much time in the bubble, just to do engineering stuff. But I did look at what was needed to upgrade suits and weapons and I'm assuming that some could be gathered/stole from settlements either during a mission or otherwise and rewards for completing missions. I'm sure I'm wrong though.Have you started doing any? For me, it was like a drug; once started, very hard to stop and always looking for my next fix
Jusy say no!
And I've just done two more medium CZ's. I really need to step up a bit and do highs. I'll never rank up otherwise and progress in this discipline is even worse than mining tritium...
I think I remember you going out to Colonia last summer or fall and not liking the CZ's you found out there, so if I did even try one it would be in the bubble. I need to get back there anyway because I screwed up my blueprint pinning and finish rolling the rest of the other BP's now that I have the mats, also fine tune the experimental effects. I only have 3 ships of which 2 are engineered.
That's about 5k hours more than what I have under my belt...
The second one is looking up from the bottom of a deep*, narrow canyon**, looking at the parent gas giant while the star and some of the other planets of the system are lined up neatly in the background, slightly left of the gas giant. I parked my Cobra there for the night. But this is not a place where you would want to send your ship away...
*: At least 300m, most likely even more, and about 90m wide (these are guesstimations based on my navigating inside)
**: If Luke had trained in such a canyon, he would have done the Death Star trench run in a CR90 Corellian Corvette...

I wonder what would happen if we fed an AI with the prompt: “Cybil Fawlty in an irritated mood, bad hair day, beehive with hornets”? ;p
No there isn't - in fact I've sometimes had to go back into orbit, then come back down on a different blue patch in order to complete the set. In the case I mentioned though, it was the only patch of blue for that species on the entire planet!
Doing a bootleg liquet mission I found a wrecked SRV and two wrecked skimmers. I got the cutter out to cut open the maintenance panels. When the panel fell away another seemed to be underneath I could not cut on all the panels at the site.
I seem to remember having the issue a whole ago and it's still not fixed...

These sometimes have SDP’s in the skimmer maintenance panels - i hope this is bad luck / a bug …and not a cruel joke by a programmer with a “sense of humour” ;p
Ok, I understand what you meant.
I just found it odd to call the increased payouts a CG, since a CG is a Community Goal, and runs for a limited time, and you have to interact with the stations mentioned in the CG to have any effect.
Our payouts in the black don't contribute to any CGs, so it just seemed like you didn't understand the term.
Sorry for any confusion there.
I've been thinking about this, to me the only difference is turning your data in on a megaship as opposed to turning it in everywhere. The Thargoids are attacking the bubble, which it and the surrounding area is the most heavily explored places in the game, why the CG then? They already have that data on Ammonia worlds, color me stupid (as usual).
That fonticula in the foreground looks, to me, like a chap doing a headstand - in a Dali-esque sort of way.
Tbh the only point in structuring the CG this way seems to be to lure explorers back to the battlefront area… any takers?
Well participating in the CG gets you some rewards if you do enough (in this case, you get some sort of device to help deal with Caustic damage -- not something we care about in the black, it's for fighting Thargoids and delving into the Maelstroms).
This mercenary rank really is grindy. There must be a better way of doing this other than fighting in CZ's over and over...
I dunno. I'm just a Gunslinger still, mostly from scavs.
Yeah, none of the "exploration" CGs make a lot of sense. It just gives folks something to do.
When did that one start? I agree, interesting.
Maybe their watching this thread.
Inara has a CG page that keeps track of them, and shows participation and current tier level, etc. I guess this one started a few days ago.
