Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Honestly, the things are breathtaking. As someone who basically went "meh" about the war several months ago when it was just Titan content on top of more Titan content on top of yet more Titan content, to have these to explore is just fantastic. The care and craft that went into them! Honestly, it's not just the visuals, but the sound and atmosphere too. The things are terrifying!

Looks cool. Thanks for sharing. Doesn't seem like much to actually do there, other than sight-see, though. Is there?
There are multiple collectible items. Refinery Compound, which are Odyssey materials. Various collectable bits via an SRV, and even exobio stuff you can scan with your Artemis. And of course the Banshees, which make the Revenants look like happy little clouds.

All while tootling about the most terrifying landscape in Elite. Honestly, it'll give you the absolute CREEPS. At one point I was 100% convinced I was going to come face to face with something on foot, such was the clicking and scratching.
 
"Rookie pilots sometimes ask me for wisdom as they tread this risk-strewn path. And I say to them, an essential part of becoming Elite is knowing when to do a runner."

Got in, bio-scanned something, scarpered!

Best thing in a while - nice to be able to get there without being interdicted to death, great to be able to explore on the ground… mountain climbing gear recommended :]

I went to the system.

Um... unprepared, really :D No anti-xeno stuff whatsoever and in an unamoured exploration ship. Yeah...

Still, I did escape the hyperdiction but then I watched the rest of the video and thought.. thoughts. Perhaps not the ideal situation for my AspX.

Honestly, I went there yesterday in my exploration DBX (barely outrun the hyperdiction) and today in my Courier (hahaha, laughs at them while boosting away at 700m/s) neither of which are really armoured or armed. As long as you land quickly and dismiss the ship, it's fine. Even when I recalled it, the ship arrived quite close to the structure (after I hoofed it 2km away!) and was able to leg it without issue.
 
Well, according to my left hand panel and my scanning reticule, I should be able to just reach out and touch this "Ancient Probe". But there ain't no nuffin there. Not to physically see, anyway.

Ah well, an interesting diversion...
Still puzzled by that...they're all very much there.

Boy, I've put some mileage on the DBx today!

What's a guy got to do to get some on ground rank?

I cleared (won) 4 on foot combat zones today and turned in 12,000,000 credits worth of bonds for all the kills and it didn't budge my "Defenseless" rank one single percent. I've been stuck at 38% for a long, long time.
