Yes, I am I haven't been to the bubble in 18 months or more, I do need to go back and un-cluster my blueprints, I pinned the wrong ones. Is it me or are there more Elite NPC pirates about? Seems like I see a couple every time I go out and before it would be every third or fourth outing.

Now that you know what one looks like you can't miss them when they turn up.
It has been a while since I've seen any, so maybe FDev did something to mix up rock shapes some more.
Also beware of spoonerism when saying it out loud
Hadn't realised that before - now I bet I'll Spoonerise itAlso beware of spoonerism when saying it out loud
There are lots of them out in the Empyrean Straits region, in fact they are almost back at ubiquitous levels.

I recognised it as soon as someone posted the first image! I've definitely seen plenty of those lying around. One thing I've been wondering about, which I've still not seen a definitive answer to even with these pictures, is whether the scattered rocks draw from a limited pool of identical meshes, or if the meshes are somehow procedurally generated. Or perhaps there's a limited pool of meshes which get stretched and resized, or something like that. Has anyone found a definitive answer as to just how "unique" these scattered rocks really are?
From what I understand there are sets of meshes for different types of worlds.
They are definitely pre-made, though, and not procedural.
The scattering and selection are procedural, but not the meshes.
Very quiet at FDev Towers at the moment... no surprises I s'pose. There was this in case anyone missed it:

There are some distinctively shaped rocks out there, no doubt.
Fist time I realized some pattern was with a rock I usually call the "Sandcrawler".
I don't have a picture of it, but I'm sure you have seen some of them around the galaxy...
They don't come as often as Codger's Rocks,though. They are a little more spread out.

Server maintenance eh? I hope they don't have an accident and shut everything down according to a hidden agenda. Conspiracy theories abound, watch out.Very quiet at FDev Towers at the moment... no surprises I s'pose. There was this in case anyone missed it:

I'd say that's a better result than when it comes down, hovers for a few seconds, and then smegs off right back into space. Which is something that happened to me a few times when I've recalled my ship.
That is practically perfect.
I have played in the aftermath with lots of commanders when one had his ship try, unsuccessfully, to fly through a cliff and many times I have seen where mine or others ships have landed on the equivalent of the top of that pointy mountain in the background leaving nearly 2 km of ascent to try and drive to them.
I've seen at least two videos on the subreddit of a CMDR recalling their ship, only to see it drop out of the sky like a brick before bouncing once and going kaboom. Now that's funny.
I bet that CMDR had about 2bnCR worth of explo data to hand in too. That would be about right.
I once had my Phantom land on it's front leg and pirouette round it in a weird non-stop ballet. Or, sometimes, my ship will "land" with all its feet about 5m up so I couldn't board it.
I got out. Might just sit here and watch the eclipse tbh.

Not too bad for one session, my best is a little more than 19 million credits, I'm slowly climbing back into my old habits.
The incident gave us this thread.
Help, I need Ship Rats!
*UPDATE* Rescue has been sucessful, I am saved and arrived back in the Bubble on the 14.07.3302! So, I just started going out exploring and about 1000Ly out, found a nice looking planet to drive about a bit and having fun. Good times! Then I recall my Ship and it was weird, my view was blocked...
Another shining example of ship recall. Gone wrong.
