I'd personally prefer it if they just reduced all the material requirements by a factor of 3.
Where does one find Opinion Polls?
- Thread starter Nomadski
- Start date
Yeh, that x3 quick fix really papered over the issue and that it still remains in place several years later really goes to show the lacking attention the whole process got.
Obviously, I'd take x3. But that's still 14 Opinion Polls and that's still a massive grind. I don't think anyone can appreciate how much of a grind it is until they start looking for them.
Yeah, I still haven't found a single opinion poll.
Just as an update. I went down to a Tourist settlement to do a power up mission and there was nothing to download (at all) from any of the data ports and every closed locker and chest was empty. So I dunno if that's another bug, another CMDR had recently been there, or RNG really hated me last night.
I tried 5 Data ports (completely empty) and about 20 or so lockers / chests (all empty, but the lockers etc were closed).
Also crashed twice but I DID manage to complete the power up and not get a 100k c fine so I guess thats something
Since Hotfix 2, relogging at a site deletes everything but any mission items you were supposed to collect. Your crashes (at least) probably made that happen.
Leaving the site and returning may respawn the stuff that vanished.
Probably the easiest method is the tourist spots that have 6-7 HABs in them. But even then... you need to get to them and repeating the process is sloooooow.
Still, relogski is fixed though, that's the important thing right?
It does. But I think that if this "deleting everything on relog" is intended, it's a horrible way to "fix" the issue of relogski. More so when disconnects and CTDs happen as frequently as they do.
I've got a suspicion it may be unintended though. It's a really flaky "feature" if not.
Could be worse. Could have been, "find me 40 open letters."
Knowing FDev. likely that actually intended. And, as usual, that's likely take half+ year, and several hundred pages of critique, for FDev finally acknowledge that it's wrong, and should be reverted.
And then FDev will do it again... you know, the classic cycle of Elite development...

Ah and Ydiss mentioned this too actually. That could well be why there was nothing in the lockers or data ports. The first soft crash was during the mission so.
I went to a "resort" thing, and only found one data port in a lounge thing. None in the rooms. Any tip on good outpost for that ?
Also looking for a reliable place for cat memes and the like for the other engineers, if you guys have any tips, haven't find one yet.
On a side note, who want 40 variations of

/5 "Food was great, but an armed goon broke into my room and stole my cat memes"You got unlucky and found the one that's not great
There are two other types: One is where the landing pad is in the middle with a PWR station one side and the Habs on the other. That has 5 HAB plus the bar for 6 in total. There's another one that's bigger and that has 6 HABs and the bar for 7.I just kept looking until I found one I liked that was anarchy so I could just kill them. Sadly, it's still ultra grindy so I've given up. I find the odd opinion poll from data ports elsewhere and I'm just going to let that happen naturally. It's really badly designed though. I hope they change it.
Thanks mate, I'm in anarchy, I'm the worst person ever when doing stealth, so I know it's going to get bloody. I'm dreading the heist part.You got unlucky and found the one that's not great

I heard there is a way to reset the outpost, but I don't remember how (supercruise I think it was ?).
I have 2resort, 1 spa and a lodging there. Think it was the lodging I did first ?

Yup. Super cruise away, fly up to orbital cruise, level out, slow down to 0 throttle, turn back around and go back again. Dock. Repeat.
So no longer relogski. Still just as tedious though
The alternative is just ping between two close-by Tourist spots. They exist. Just adds a minute or two in between.
Tourist Settlements (as others have said) and I've seen them at Analytics Settlements, too!
I think the idea is you don't grind, but rather pick them up as you find them, then (one day) have enough for the upgrade.
That's how I did the engineering in Horizons and never felt I was 'grinding'.
It's any habitat data port and they're all over the place. Mining, military and more.
Yeh in this case "one day" is a long way away.
I'm up to 5 now.
I'd prefer unlocks to be "things you do" how the first two started out with. These are just a little too rare for an unlock in my opinion. Too RNG.
I'm doing the 3 different POI I have. Resort was a bust as I said. Lodging seems to be the one you mentioned, large pad in the middle, scattered hab around. I have the spa to do afterwards.
I've been to about 4 of the "good" settlements (with 6 Habs) and despite finding a lot of loot and data, only uncovered 1 Opinion Poll. Not a great drop rate.
And as each mission has pretty much resulted in a 100k fine for not being able to complete I've left them well alone.
Hopefully tomorrow's patch will fix these missions.
