Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

I needed an overlapping Tritium hotspot near the Colonia Bridge, near the last place you can actually buy decent quantities of Tritium. Everyone buys it there, so it's hard to get a full Type-9 load on every board, and if several FCs show up, supply can bottom out quickly, which is a good time to go mining while station commerce supply regenerates.

The only problem is all nearby hotspots were singles.

So I spent a few days this week visiting many, many systems nearby (being near the Core, it's crowded.

RNGesus is on my side. Look what I just got! Two overlaps in the same ring. Do I need to report them to any mining tool 3rd party app runners?:

Many thanks @Sighman and @Jack Winter. I'd been ignoring the stealth/assassination/mats side of Ody since I bought it last year (seemed fiddly/unrewarding, was going to get around to it eventually), but manipulating a system into a dedicated setup where murdering the inhabitants is actually beneficial to them (sort of) is a masterstroke. It made me want to give it a go, in the same way that I'd definitely want to try a slice of Ameglian Major Cow.

So today I've have wiped out my first four settlements. The first three runs were pretty clean, but the last one took ages - alarms going off, lots of guards with shields up, I needed several trips back to the Scorpion to recover/restock. Lots of fun, particularly a superlongrange duel with a sniper amongst some rocks.

I thought I'd finally eliminated everyone and relaxed into some systematic looting, then noticed that the doors to the bar building were open and there was movement inside. Turned out that the last four technicians and pilots were in there guarding the door. It's probably just coincidence, but kudos to FDev if survivors can decide to head to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for things to blow over.
 
This is what I've been up to:

I wanted to paint it a different colour but I'm low on ARX - and for some reason, PayPal is no longer an option for buying more o_O

I really wish you could pin on-foot engi blueprints - having to listen to Domino Green again really grates... :D

Heheh Domino can be a bit random, yep - but a visit to Yarden Bond is still a pleasure… :)

Anyway, nice Ape!

Btw, I also have a new hand weapon… ;]

So I have decide that what I am doing right now out in Colonia is actually trying to visit every inhabited system out here. Then I will have to sit down and finally workout what blueprints I need to pin with whom before I leave.

Meanwhile I am enjoying the strange stations and systems out here, today I saw an Earthlike World orbiting a Water World.
 
Yep, that's all you need to become a galaxy famous exobiologist and all around cool dude.
Made my first steps in that direction.
Set sail for Synuefe TP-F B44-0 to check the ancient ruins there.
Scanning every system on my way, found a planet with biosigns and checked it out. Was lucky and stumbled upon some Frutexa and found 3 locations not too far apart to sample.

There are a few questions that arose during this:
1) What does it mean if the FSS scan tells me under Features "Biological (3)"? Are these three different species?
2) The DSS seems to show different colours after a completed scan. What do I have to look for if I want to find some of theat green (well, sometimes) stuff?
3) Does the flora show up on the SRV scanner?
 
1) What does it mean if the FSS scan tells me under Features "Biological (3)"? Are these three different species?
Yes
3) Does the flora show up on the SRV scanner?
Yes, kinda. It will show as a long narrow streak but could be a long ways off
Don't forget if you get more than 2.2 kilometers away from your ship, it will leave and go into orbit and you'll have to recall it through your crotch panel.
