Something slightly weird just happened to me; I was just interdicted (which isn't the weird part), but after I had dealt with the pirate, I noticed that there was this random NPC Eagle hanging about. It wasn't a system security ship either, it was just a civilian vessel (showing up white on the radar) with a "clean" status. I don't think I've ever seen that happen before. What were they doing?

Noticed this on occasion. My theory is that maybe they're a bounty hunter who was tracking the pirate you just wiped out.

So I was looking for a single meta alloy for lady Farseer, but turns out that every barnacle sites around Maia is long dry and empty. I didn't want to break the promise I made to a friend that we will meet our first black hole together, as we both share an amateur interest for astrophysics, so I bookmarked every BH around in order to avoid them for now, problem was my only way to quickly get that one MA was Darnielle's progress in Maia since I am not going for barnacle forest seek right now.
Well, the map system of Maia shows a blue-white as the primary star, and Darnielle's progress not too far, I could buy the damn unit, leave the planet orbit, and jump to the next system, with the eyes half closed, so I havent seen the corpus delicti.
Sometimes, we are our own reason of a complicated life, but in the end, I didin't break my promise.
(I mean, I'm already having moral issues with the fact that I've slaughtered hundreds of biologists for a few two-component adhesive tubes. There is a legend from ancient times, before humanity could jump from one star to the other, that says DIY stores existed back in Gaia, where you could buy adhesive tubes without having to slaughter people, but I personally don't believe in such mythology.)
Also looking for the last of ten opinion poll to sell, and recently upgraded the Tormentor to G5, definetly my favorite everyday weapon!

O7 and happy new year everyone!

You wouldn’t really need to wear a blindfold to not see the black hole in Maia, it is Maia B and is over 300,000 light seconds away from your arrival point and given the nature of black holes is not an easy thing to see at that distance.

You are right, but I'm the kind that is even sillier when feelings get involved, and more "Noob Cautious" than "Elite Dangerous" for now I'm affraid!:LOL:
 
Here's a question for exo fans:

When you find a planet with life, do you make sure you grab every bio on that planet, or just cherry pick the valuable ones?

I have Elite Observatory running so I just get the nice earners - although, sometimes, I do try to get them all.

I try to do a complete set, though will move on if lower value organics are really difficult to find - i have my limits in terms of patience / profit, eg: with high altitude Fungoida ;)

Yes/No/Sometimes.

Until I reached Elite I mostly got everything, then I just used to get the ones I could find easily but trying for the most valuable first, now I am tending to grab just one bio from the system still tending to get the most valuable but just the one that isn't as much faster as it sounds as I am trying to scan them all on that planet for codex.

I will sometimes try and get the bios by landing on the world without mapping it just to get peoples hopes up.

Same as others said, I will look but will not spend an crazy amount of time to find the ones remaining, which can be very difficult sometimes.
