If you are done already I have some doubts as to whether you stopped for EVERYthing interesting along the way. But maybe you did. at least everything interesting to you :p

Everything interesting that I noticed. I just wanted to point out that I didn't just jonk the trip, that I could have finished on Monday :p

Second times the charm...

Finally made it this time! Funnily enough I was really worried about the Neutron Stars and they were a piece of cake.

Just a question... if AH CANCRI is the point of no return, how did you three guys get your tags in that system? (Dr. KAII, SAPPORO and LODRIK BARDIC)

You got some Alien FSD us Humans don't know about? (And if so have you been hanging around MAIA in a flower shaped ship??)

It's possible (but difficult) to get 2 overcharges from a neutron star. I've tried it, but wasn't successful. What you have to do is overcharge your FSD, start a hyperspace jump and enter the neutron star jet again, and overcharge while your jump is powering up. If the countdown starts before you're overcharged, you won't get the second overcharge.
 
So, seeing as I'll be catching up to everyone else in a few days with my late departure, are SLF's worth bringing?


The Distant Stars Handbook arrived today and I just want to demonstrate it! Also it's at 15% discount now.

It has been revised so use this new link to get revision 3!: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/DistantWorlds

Hhhmm... I may have to bite the bullet on this one.

Wait. you can "hold" a charge - or it needs to be used on the very next jump?? I may try and practice this on my way.

Video, or it never happened....[big grin]

I just want to see someone have the courage and skill to make that work :O

I cannot imagine how you can lock onto the next system while you are Wibbling and Wobbling in the Neutron stream (Those are the technical terms for it[squeeeee])

That would be amazing!!

(And I REALLY think that those three are Aliens [alien]).

OK, I have tracked down the video..... All I can say is :eek:

(BUT, I still think those three are Aliens...[alien])

Scroll down a bit to see another video by Dr. Kaii which explains the technique in detail.

Here's a link to a 4K pic of Gunnet and me at today's meetup on 2MASS J08511564+1150561, planet A 1 A:

Ok, I can do this. But I need to use it on the next jump, right? Can't store it for later?

Correct. You can't save it for later use, although if you exit the game, apparently it will still be waiting for you the next time you jump using that ship (even if you store your ship in a station for a while). That's according to reports; I haven't tried it.
 
I believe Dr. Kai found some sort of pseudo life form around some fumarols a couple of days ago. A "piceous cobble"
Which may be some sort of pseudo vegitation or just some kind of mineral formation.

These crystalline clusters may just be mineral formations as well.
When I logged back in after posting the video, the lighting changed and it's not quite so atmospheric now.
It's a very small "potato" moon. I'm flying around searching for additional locations now.
The scan of this moon shows "major silicate vapour geysers volcanism" so there may be other locations with geysers.

Update: Found an additional location. A much larger field of geysers @ -35.4387 / -50.1005
Found the same crystal formations, but also a "piceous cobble"

New engineer mod - FSD Boost store module...
