ANNOUNCEMENT Tritium Depot Refills
Yeah but...
The funniest part about that image and was noticed before it was scapped is how it looks like they just photoshopped the front and two towers onto a station...seems they where correct and all we have is the smaller versions as part of skins on the fc
it is slow, 100hrs+ for 65000lyYou got two empty FCs to fit over 40.000 ton of Tritium?
Because I just made a test run and got 210t/h rate although I am not a skilled SSD miner and had to synthesize limpets for most of the time it took
That was same. I could do some like 160t/hr and on beta too in single spot.
And it is still slow. Useless. Nobody sane will mine 100hrs (man/hours) on Beagle point just to get back.
I will leave my "devil's advocate" role for a moment
I am too generally disappointed by "crippling" the FCs with some unfitting game mechanics (e.g. high fuel usage / mining yield rate).
I can't really understand "why". I don't think we would run out of system to explore, even if we could scoop fuel on FCs instead of mine:
EDSM shows statistics which prove this point:
And now back to the old subject:
All this does NOT change a bit my opinion, that scale of anger and other negative emotions that ED community here showed in response to problems that appeared after last patch is hysterical and it's intensity is a product of righteous indignation multiplied by laziness and ignorance.
Yes, ignorance, commanders who have at least SOME knowledge about ED universe found workarounds and are not really active in this thread.
And laziness - because most of emotionally overloaded posts here are writen by commanders who did not even try to LEARN anything new that could help them find their ways in the "new" ED reality.
ED is not a simple space shooter. If you want to really enjoy "being" in this universe in the long run, you have to put some effort.
Otherwise you will only get frustrated, after inevitably failing in some goals, not even knowing that you were doing things wrong, or that there is a better way.
That's it,
GN commanders.

What sort of hotspot are you in? I’m getting about 130t/hr in a single hotspot. Are you in an overlap?
Is slightly annoying to find out I shouldn't have bothered to top my tank up, but rather should have just put the hours of work getting that trit to filling up the cargo hold instead.
Does make the frustrating work in getting that trit so slowly even more annoying and frustrating in hindsight. But at least they tried something I suppose.
I won't bother topping it up until they fix things now though, as it would really would be annoying to see people rewarded for not doing the same grind I did to maintain a full tank for a 2nd time

No, I don't want Odyssey at all, I want FDev to fix all the issues the game has.
Went Void Opal Core mining and in 20 to 25 mins I found 1 void opal rock. Im like core mining for opals but not worth it anymore. Sad....So Sad....Nice going FDEV.....dumb*****......I like core mining and FDEV ruins the game as usual....
It won't, and the fact that Frontier thinks it will show that they have never sat down and done some simple back of the envelope calculations to work out how much fuel it takes to move a carrier a given distance and/or they are unaware of the size of the Milky Way.
I took the opposite strategy and refuel it whenever I was docked because I didn't want to be caught in a situation where I couldn't remotely jump the carrier to me if I had flown on ahead... so, no free fuel for me
I'm with most anyone else in this thread, it seems: The gesture is nice and I personally do appreciate it, but for those of us that are full (or mostly) Then we practically got nothing.
Doubly so for those that would be away when the mass refueling happens and those that are being used for public expeditions and would have to let people know in advance when their ride is going to be jumping.
Why not just give 1,000t total? Fill up the carriers, and any left gets put in storage.
"That would mess with the market" The tritium market is already screwed because of the new Dynamic Market. Not counting from Carriers (which are dynamic enough) there is less than 30 tons of Tritium to buy at any given time in Colonia.

This thread has gotten so banal.
Peeps out of fuel need it.
Peeps full up on fuel want more.
Let's give everyone that doesn't own an FC credits for 1000t of tritium.
More crying on that one.

The SQL statement to set one field for every record to a fixed value is trivial and can easily be done by hand, but the SQL statement to achieve the later is anything but and would be asking for all manner of trouble to try on a live database.

So here's a temporary fix which hopefully would defuse tensions a little: instead of a one-off, the tanks are filled permanently at 1000t. i.e. they don't deplete, or they auto-refill every 5 mins, or whatever is possible technically. Then a caveat is added by FDev which is widely promoted saying:
"This fix is intended to allow carriers stuck in the black to return to Colonia or The Bubble, or carry on their planned exploration or DSSA activity. Please note that as soon as our next patch is released this auto-refill will cease, so do not head out into the black relying on this fix as you may get stranded."

Iv read quite a few of your posts now cmdr.......I like your style sir!
It's all about preparation, right from the start.
It was obvious to me that something wasn't right from the launch of FC's. I was not happy about the average Tritrium prices nor the Mining rates of Tritium in Rings being able to sustain my FC efficiently when out in the black.
I did two trips, filling up the hold in the bubble, before both trips. Each time making sure that I only went far enough to be able to return safely with what stock I had left. Both these trips were to see how frequent Tritium is in the black & how efficient it is to Mine - without going nuts.
I find it difficult to believe that any cmdr is really stuck out in the black, unable to jump their Carriers......did they not bring any Mining gear at all? How did they expect to feed the damn Carrier? Tritium is there........it's just way to inefficient for cmdr's to be bothered to Mine for it.
As you have nicely done cmdr, you've kept your Carrier moving in the Rift!!
Yes, I concede that Mining in the black, although doable, is extremely inefficient & will aggravate those Explorer's who don't like Mining at all, but that's why I planned ahead with my two trips to actually see what it was like.
In the end I didn't like it, there was too much Mining for my liking & the only solution was a bubble return & buying cheap Tritium. This was scuppered by Frontier & since then each step made by them has basically messed up nearly everything.....again!
Now I'm on my third trip, again staying within my Tritrium level, having another concerted attempt in finding Tritium in rings, while Frontier try to untangle this mess. Hopefully they'll get it sorted out, then I really will be able to cut the strings on my carrier.

Why are you stuck?
Go mine, go exploring.
Your'e crying the game is over for explorer's not bothering to explore, cuz you can't get to where you want to go asap?
Pity party is down the hall.
It's a Tri and LTD hotspots overlap.
After I read some reports about Tritium SSD spawning in in LTD hotspots I had a thought that maybe whatever math is responsible for that, it may result in synergy between Tritium and LTD hotspots.
And it seems like I was right.
My theory is that FD nerfed LTD hotspots by replacing LTD SSDs with Tritium and somehow the outcome is SSD Tritium spawning in larger quantities in Tri/LTD overlap then in single/double Tritium hotspots.
EDIT: I have read reports about nearly 200t/h Tri mining rates in LTD / LTD2 hotspots too, but others were saying they managed to do a bit above 100t/h only.
All those contradictions really don't help in finding out what kind of hs/overlap is optimal for Tri SSD mining ATM.

Erm nope, i'm not stuck. I am mining. I am exploring. I have 10,000t Tritium. I'm fine. So this isn't about me, it's about helping others. You should try it.
