Felicity Farseer tease

- Start date
No, I had no idea what she was going to ask me to supply, other than the meta alloys. The additional shopping list only appeared after I'd delivered the requested items. How do you get advanced knowledge of her list of requisitions?
None of the items are purchased from trading, frame wake scanning for example. The Iron needs to be mined, so I need to equip for mining I assume?
You can usually get most of the materials you need from the same system, apparently.
There's info about mats in the game once you find one:
Though it is wrong... maybe stick to inara

Yes, funny thing I noticed, as I pinned one set of blueprints another set got unpinned? Didn't understand what was going on. The FSD had several options to pin enhancements, but each click unpinned the previous selection. In the end I gave up, thinking it was bugged?

In some respects the engineering adds a sort of "mission" to the game. I took the easy option and commuted across to Maia for the Meta Alloy. Helped that my AspX already had 20LY+ jump range, but stopping to scan a few systems along the way gives me some nav data to sell the crazy old bird, too.
Not looking forward to grinding all the other requirements but at least with the brokers you can sell to upgrade/downgrade until you get the right mix.

I must be strange. I'm happy that high grade engineriing requires lots of work. Without that everybody would run around in fully G5 ships. And engineering would totally loose it's purpose.
Can you play in not enginereed ships ? Of course you can. But if you want to improve your rides, you have to put some work and thought in it. I like that.

If you need arsenic (and for grade 5 FSD you surely will), one of the planets near Felicity's base has plenty on its surface. Just drive around in the SRV shooting rocks near the rims of craters.
Alternatively, use material traders, but that requires less skill and you dont learn to drive the SRV efficiently .... which you will need for the Guardian ruins.

I'm the same mind. It's a bit of a grind. The rewards are slow to come and really it only serves as something to do as well as explore, which is a nice little side dish. The Aspx I have is fine for exploring and doesn't need a super FSD. The Python (heavier it gets) could do with a better FSD and that's why I went to see the miserable old so and so!
Was expecting some hot granny action.
Am disappoint.

Pretty sure nobody else has asked this, but you did select "Fastest" and not "Economical" for your route plot?

Oh yeah... it only gets worse the more you want done.
"Biotech Conductors?!? What the hell is an Abnormal Subcompact Emission Control Data Doomahicky?!?"
Does using the pinned blueprint raise the engineers level? I thought it didn't.
The second thing I learned when playing the game. The first was 'do not fly without re-buy'.
no, but saves you from travel there all the time
Biggest headache at Farseer's base is, it's nearly always on the dark side of the planet(oid) and even with the gamma turned right up, night vision on and auto dock poised it's a bit of a white knuckle ride in.
Having unlocked the old dame and got a bit of L1 engineering going, next stage starts which is gathering non-buyable materials and data. Forgot how much fun it is driving round in the Sportage (SRV) and, believe it or not, up to now I never bothered splitting rocks at POI's. What can I say but wow, this is a RNG treasure chest compared to finding and splitting the sparse rocks on the regular surface.

Thanks, that's another point to remember!
I am a bit better versed in the gathering of materials now and have begun gathering minerals from a planet!
Yes, I thought I might, but sadly not!
I'm almost ready to go back to Felicity and trade. The Chemical Distilleries I haven't found, so may have to trade other bits and pieces. Anyone tried approaching the Robot Dentinal at Dave's Hope? It's guarding some illuminated workings? I chickened out from zapping it with the Scarabs pop gun, thought it would make mincemeat of me?
