ANNOUNCEMENT Tritium Depot Refills

Hooplah

Hooplah
Here's an idea,

Change the Fleet Carrier fuel/jump ratio to 10:1 as in 50 Tritium can jump 500LY. Note that the Depot
still only holds 1000T and the carrier can still only jump 500LY max. So the Depot filled up with 1000T
provides a 10,000LY jump range that will get players in the black out of trouble. Also some players will
probably get into trouble when all returns to normal but that is their risk...No ranting later! :)

OK, I have very bad news.
You do not need any "unique" hotspots combo to mine nearly 200t/h.
I just did 186t/h ratio in a random SINGLE TRI hotspot.

It looks like those who are making drama can only blame themselves and lack of will to change habits or learn something new.

What program is this that you're getting your stats from? I'd like to see how mine works out!

These are two different pairs of shoes. I never said mining is not bugged, all I'm saying is that people claim to stuck are incompetent idiots. Clearer now? Note, I can back my statements with my daily activities in the game. While others just repeat the hyperbole they read up in the forum, some of them are not even FC owners. Decide for yourself who you would rather trust.

None of us know how the game works under the hood so we cannot assume the effects of this bug are the same under all circumstances. To call those people you're referring to "incompetent idiots" is not only arrogant and rude, but illogical.

Offering 1000 t of Tritium makes it appear that the FD does not know the game itself, or worse, it was an act of malicious contempt for players lost in the confines of the galaxy ... it would have been better not to have done this.

My advice is a bit different:
trust no one,
equip SSD launchers,
go to LTD/Tri overlap, if you can't find it Tri hotstpot will do,
and do some SSD mining attempts.

I do not recommend using my video to learn HOW to do it, there are much better tutorials videos online ;)

Actually my lack of skill in SSD mining you can notice in my video should be comforting to those who think you have to be a super-master-elite pilot to get reasonable results.

Then we get shafted, I guess. Like me. 2 carriers, tanks topped of, not much left otherwise. Keeping tanks always topped off since I almost got stranded not doing it.

Was on a 3 day trip. Come back, see this. Cool. Tritium still ed, and I get nothing of this “gesture of good will”.

Yeah, talking about natural selection in conjunction to human beings is really the polite way to do... Millions of dead people will agree!

Hmmm...
I am sorry if I have offended anyone by using this phrase:
BUT
how many people DIED while playing ED actually? :sneaky:

Do I really have to explain that "natural selection" was a metaphor and I was referring to the fact, that people who are allergic to learning new things occasionally and adapting to a bit diferent gameplay/environment will be eventually overwhelmed by frustration and leave?

You don't have to be genius to enjoy ED for years, but you have to be at least a bit flexible.

BTW: there is a quote that could inspire some people here:

As we cannot transfer fuel from storage to depot, people making multiple jumps while exploring or just fooling around top up fuel depot. Once again, fdev don"t understand the mechanics of their own game, unless they already implemented it and forgot they didn't released it :ROFLMAO: .
And yes "gesture of good will", how laughable...

People who want to play the game rather than have it done for them. How about Fdev just move people's carriers for them to where they want them to be or top up their credit balance to where they want it to be or promote them to whatever rank they think they should have? Let's all have infinite fuel, infinite ammo, infinite credits, instant travel. In the end you have no game at all.

Why are you being ridiculous with that example when nobody here is asking for anything but a temporary solution in the meantime until a patch is released?

Do you think infinite probes that travel very large distances in a very short time make the game any more realistic? What of communication in the game travelling many times faster than the speed of light when radio frequencies are limited to the speed of light in reality? What of ships like a Cutter sporting multiple enormous engines travelling slower in space when boosting than a modern day Jumbo Jet? (low wake). Hell, even Elite's super quick ships are slower unless you add supercruise to the mix. What of ship lights being weaker than the average flashlight?

You speak of instant travel, yet the game practically has that already seeing as you aren't forced to wait 8 minutes travelling from Earth to the Sun. This game isn't as realistic as you like to imagine.

Have I got this right?

People are complaining because Frontier won't give them the fuel they need to get back to the bubble because they already have it?

Wow.

If we are still playing today, it means we were very flexible ... but we are getting tired of it ....

while the tritium bug is an issue, it's not impossible to refill a carrier as sub surface mining is still pretty good way. managing around 140T/H in a single hotspot. Also if you took your carrier far out into the black i assume you would have stored at least one exploration ship that you could use to get the necessary mining tools if you didn't pack any.

Having said that i think offering stuck commanders to have their fc re-located via the ticket system would be an acceptable work around in addition to the 1000T of free tritium.

cough But... there is a "temporary solution" already. cough

It's even more efficient then pre-patch laser mining in single hotspot which are plenty - there is one in almost any system with ice ring(s).

Unless you have no SSD launchers onboard and no way to get them.

If all my effort here will inspire at least one commander to test my solution and he will succeed,
I will not regard my time here as wasted.

Even if for every 1 such example there will be 10 others attacking me.

"quality over quantity" , this is how I would put it :)

I have my doubts about it.

It's FD, carriers of random commanders could just start to disappear or they would find out they have been moved to Beagle Point,

or even to

RAXXLA

I'm inspired CMDR! I had already changed my playstyle a bit to compensate anyway. Start with a run in a Tritium hotspot to fill up my Anaconda with about 260t, then switch out to the Krait Phantom for some exploration. May or may not get back to some more mining before I log. I'm headed towards Beagle point and as far as I know, I'm not in a race with anyone to get there, so just taking my time and enjoying the trip.
