Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

The only way to extend the range of your limpets is by buying a different grade of controller. But you have to read the small print to determine which one reaches the farthest, as the highest grade doesn't have the longest range but lasts longer, time wise.
For collectors it is A for longest duration or B for longest range, I think the only useful thing to engineer is the mass of the controller.
 
Beautiful sunrise.

I jumped my carrier about half an hour go in 22 minutes. Not bad!

Then, I logged off, came back in and some snake error popped up.

I've not got in again and my jump tie is 20 minutes. Now... what I don't know is if that's:
  • a fix to > 1hr slots
  • not many people jumping their FC's
  • the Thursday tick worked some magic
  • miracle took place.
Circle as appropriate :D
 
I'm having a nightmare, I've had 5 of these along with 45 second FSD tunnels, severe stuttering and on top of all that I just got the infamous black screen on my SRV and when I logged back in all the Fumarola is gone along with the Aquatis (can be seen in the screenshot). I hope everyone is enjoying their colonization because exploration is becoming unplayable.

Yep, I've had that snake. FC jump times now back up to 30 mins. Maintenance day... plus an update... doesn't make for smooth gameplay. At the moment, the jump times are really irritating me.

It's a little frustrating, I don't own a carrier, but I do wish you luck with that. Playing is part of my early morning routine, start the coffee, fire up the game, let the critters out for their constitutional, grab a cup of joe, let the critters in and give them their snacks, sit down and start playing. All these errors are damaging my calm.
 
Hi :)
All these errors are damaging my calm.

:D... I'm in the same boat at the moment, I'm usually quite good natured but this recent update download and with the server errors / traffic load is starting to irritate! :LOL:
What's also irritating is that finding out what stations have (player created) in the way of initial economy's and facilities available when you've built any station really is hard to find out.
All I've found out so far which is of some help is in the links below, but I can't find out for example what storage or not your station has (for ships modules etc) and what is available to use for another example, ship hangers. I mean, once you've built the station does it automatically get populated, does it auto create and sell commodities, and in the case of an Outpost, can you store any ships there or recall any of your other ships to it from your pre colonisation shipyard's station storage.
Easy enough to build a station, but what can your station do.....I'm quite confused (through lack of easily found information) at the moment which station is really going to benefit me with the way I like to play. Larger stations than a Coriolis are definitely something I'm not willing to build as a solo / single player, too much trucking I would imagine. I'm willing to carry on building my Coriolis station (maybe), but if it's loads of work having to build a shipyard in it (more trucking) I'm not so sure I want to, so maybe cancel that build and just settle for an Outpost somewhere.
If you could store commodities at your Outpost that would be a real benefit (unlimited amount and of different types), but I suspect this isn't possible and you're just limited by which Outpost you choose and what it's supposed to produce?

Jack :)
