Anyone got an Alt to scan the new station in Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 ?
- Thread starter Factabulous
- Start date
The Hull Seals have got it covered.
And I've been in the system for over two weeks (woke up one morning to find Explorer's Anchorage suddenly there, which was cool). Until more of the fleet arrives if anyone needs repair I do have limpets. I dock at the station each night, so if you see Scubadog and my trusty Anaconda, gimme a shout.
Sounds like a bug to me, and an exploit if you do it to get limpets from somewhere that doesn't sell them.
Good points. I was just spitballing, but you're right about that. Of course the drop rate for shootable rocks is quite variable, so it's hard to estimate how much more efficient this is, but I'd be comfortable guessing 2-3 times faster. Even so, that only brings the time-equivalent conversion rate up to rough parity. One limpet for merely one void opal is still a pretty penny compared to station list price!
On this point, however, I think you've dramatically overestimated the materials drop rate from laser mining. I feel like in a typical ring site, where you're picking for a desired mineral, not material content, you're lucky to get one nickel drop (3 units) every couple of asteroids. If you're using collectors, with their typically high attrition rate, I think you'd be lucky to average 10 units of nickel per 20 limpets used. So I'd say synthesis while laser mining extends your limpet supply maybe 20%, probably less.
Definitely sounds like an exploit. While this one is probably low priority for Frontier, they do tend to get annoyed if players knowingly exploit actual bugs, so I wouldn't do that. Irrelevant here since we're apparently getting limpet restock tomorrow, but I'd recommend against doing that in the bubble, too.
It would be pretty neat though if Limpet Restock was "Tier 1" of the CG. Assuming FDev could upgrade the station ad-hoc as Tiers are reached instead of only on the weekly server update.
That would really give a feeling of frontier (hehe) to the CG.
The alternative, as was suggested elsewhere, would be to park a "construction megaship" with the basic necessary CG facilities nearby. Again, it would make building the station slightly more plausible.
If you line up to the asteroid's spin axis, you can get collectors to last quite a while. I tend to lose far more to "out of fuel" than to them running into things.
Core mining of course potentially gets through a lot more of them.
But you can't store modules. Nor transfer them.
Pretty useless, unless you want to loose your build.
Scrap that. I was inside during the update of services and for some reason I had to exit and re-enter the station to have storage working.
I just succesfully stored and retreived modules. Unless you are trying to store a component for which there is no default module or if the default available violates your max mass.
We can also sell explo data. Which I did.
Just had a quick look and it seems that only more of the station superstructure is there, no new services as far as I could see.
I was really hoping a crew lounge would added, after storing my fighter hanger DOH!

According to INARA, looks crew lounge has finally been added. No shipyard, unfortunately.
It's there now. Definitely was not when i checked earlier. :O
I'll have to use inara in future, rather then ingame

It seems, they add facilities according to some schedule, of course, but not during server reboot.
Yes, the Crew Lounge is now in effect. Seems silly, but kinda nice to re-activate my crew. Storing the fighter bay set her to inactive and I couldn't get her back.
I don't recall if it was there before, but the Passenger Lounge is available too. No shipyard... I bought my first Anaconda for this expedition. Now, the thought of going any further in this heap is unbearable. Might have to make a little day trip over to Colonia.
