Offer: 100 meta-alloys for the thargoid base map event

[Crank Larson]

And I owe you 100 meta-alloys. I know you probably don´t want them, but don´t want to be known for breaking deals. If you really don´t want them, just tell me and instead of keeping them for you I will get rid of of them to free cargo space.

Well, if you're just going to dump them I could take them, if for nothing more than to experience an exchange of cargo (never done that before). However, my AspX doesn't have space. I'm going to go and get my Cutter and bring it over, as I need to engineer the drives anyway. That's got space. I won't be on until quite late tomorrow, though.

If he doesn't want them, my offer to accept 700 meta alloys from you as a gesture of goodwill still stands

Made me chuckle.

Seen the pretty lights a couple of times now. Good to meet up with you Semris.

I wish I could work out how to put chat back onto local, though... Once I've selected someone from the friends list, I haven't found a way to then revert back to local. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious... Anyone care to enlighten me (and suitably embarrass me, I'm sure )?

I left the UA and UL there, and attempted to leave the UP too. However, I did have the UP in my SRV hold when I boarded my ship. I selected to jettison it (ship is full anyway), but I then got a transaction error. When I logged back in, I had been magically transported outside the ruins in the SRV. No UP in hold (I presumed it had jettisoned ok, but apparently not).

Am going to find another UP and head back, will probably be an hour or so.

You can type

/L (in upper case here just so you don't think it's an I, lower case is fine)

To put comms back into local mode.

You can also cycle various channels with a Tab key on your keyboard, while the chat is active (aka cursor is ready to type in any channel).

We have spent 4 days (two CMDRs) around the right planet and right distance, I would say 10 hours total at least. The other CMDR found it once but got infinite dropping into instance bug... Apart from that, nothing...

UL didn´t spawn for us yesterday at all, luckily other CMDR came by and had two from before.... That saved us.

Quick update on this...

Again, I have no idea if this was just luck or whether it's a "thing" but, thinking about it, I usually pick up a UP first (because that's the thing I expect to cause problems) and then go and collect a UA.

Tonight I was near a crash site, collected a couple of UAs, headed for an Ammonia world and waited, and waited, and waited.
Nothing.
Eventually an NPC showed up and demanded cargo so, out of frustration, I dumped the 2 UAs (do NPCs take the corrosion damage?) and then, literally 30 seconds after getting back into SC; degraded emissions/2. Unknown Probe.

It might, quite possibly, just be random but it seemed like the UP didn't want to spawn while I had the UAs in my hold.

Also, after an evening of monkeying around with this stuff, I find myself in possession of 3 ULs, 2 UAs and a UP.
If anybody wants 'em, or wants to see the show, or try anything else, they're available.

It´s alright, I will keep them for you at least until release of 2.4 (I might need cargo space by then). For now it´s not an issue. Next time we are online, we can do the trade.
