Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

The other annoying thing is those that - for whatever reason - don't post they've taken the stuff. Perhaps they just don't read the boards or perhaps they just don't care. Perhaps they just happened across it. Still... it is frustrating to get somewhere for that juicy piece of kit only to find it gone,
It happens too often for me not to blame some of it on deliberate malice, after all it could be another form of griefing
 
Ooer - carrier jump time = normal. (y)💪🖖
Congratulations, mine yesterday was 1h 13mins assuming it happened, I didn’t play that long.
You should check that it is consistent by doing lots more jumps today after all you carrier can afford to buy the Tritium.

In a way like EDDB does, I guess...

My main problem id that I regularly forget to activate these programs before launching the game...
EDDB is no more it was taken down by its creator earlier this year.

Did you mean EDMC the ED Market Connector?
 
You just have to open the 3D map tab. It's all there. You don't need EDSM for it (although you may want EDSM for other things).

Thanks and yep, just found it here under my own nose, in the lower right corner ^^

...i presume the spikes are due to incomplete data? still uploading, 200 Events at a time it seems...

OK cool - making progess, thankyou's!

...API Key is in & EDD is linked to EDSM - now we seem to be uploading a bit of data^

i'm just going with "send everything", even though it seems to keep prompting me to reconsider...

...after this is done, where might i go in EDSM to see where i've been? :)

One of the things you need to be careful of is that you don't have 2 programs sending the same data to EDSM, that's why it keeps asking you, it will also take some time to upload your old journals, depending on connection speed of course.

Now as I said you can already see where you have been in EDDiscovery without uploading data, just look at the 2D and 3D map addons, also EDSM won't be able to show you where you have been until all your data is uploaded, so it won't work instantly. Just use the 3D map addon in EDDiscovery, that's all ready to go!

The spikes are actually dodgy map data where the actual position of the system doesn't match up with the coordinates in game, or vice versa, I forget which. I have a few in my map, you can go through and edit out the dodgy entries to make it look like a proper map without the spikes, depends on how annoying you find them to be.

Sorry, that was a misremembrance-induced typo of mine. I meant EDEB - Elite Dangerous Exploration Buddy.
 
Not good. Maybe it was because I was on quite early. No word from FDev yet about it either.
Hmmmm...
 
Do you have EDDiscovery? This is mine in that app.

Just installed yesterday and linked to EDSM today - that’s the EDD 3D map.

The interesting thing is that these spikes of radiating lines seem to be related to the intermittent bug where the carrier’s “bookmark” position on the in-game galaxy map gets stuck on a group of apparent seed data stars (fairly dense clusters of real stellar data with names beginning with ”2MASS…”)

…it’s been happening again for some time to the extent that i just look for the carrier on the map, not use the bookmark - last i checked it was still well off my current location.

Very Nice map! :) i’ve only gotten about 12.5KLY from Sol, just on this recent trip - someday, Colonia and Sag-A still… ;]

Interesting experience. I even had my personal pilot...

Been looking around for some upgraded suits, but all I found were some empty G3 ones - and some with mods I don't have on my priority list...

Besides of that, I came across something that deemed me odd. The stations I visited had an unmanned Inter Astra counter.

Yeah, I don't have a carrier, when I plot I stop at every system on my route, no filters. I was Elite V before the current Thargoid war.

I've had pretty good luck finding suites and weapons at planetary bases, might be the time it takes to land.
