Hi,

I maintain a stock of Meta-Alloys in my Fleet Carrier for new players looking to get started with engineering their ships with Felicity.

Felicity is the most useful engineer to unlock first because it will allow you to upgrade the range of your Frame Shift Drive, allowing you to jump further away at once, thereby making the rest of the engineering journey go much faster.

You will need 1 unit of Meta-Alloy which can be either:
  • bought for 200~250k in the Maia system (Surface port: Darnielle's Progress; 638 ls from Sol)
  • harvested by destroying barnacles (list of sites with Thargoid Barnacles; more involved but probably more fun than "shopping")
  • obtained for free from LeKeno's Fleet Carrier (parked in Deciat, near Felicity's base; max convenience, lowest barrier to entry)

Status: available
  • Supply: ~290 (as of May 15, 05:00 UTC)
  • Demand: buying 300 @ 1m credits (as of May 15, 05:00 UTC)
What: free meta-alloys to new players who want to unlock Felicity without the trek to Maia or the Barnacles sites.
Where:
  • Supply: Deciat, LeKeno's Fleet Carrier (callsign: B6J-0HZ), 6A near Farseer Inc.
  • Demand: Hyades Sector AQ-Y d81, LeKen0's Fleet Carrier (callsign: V5H-2HB), C 2 near the Barnacles Forest (9.2937, -153.9101; 6 meta-alloys per relog), equipped with SRV hangars, cargo racks, Type 6-7-9 ships.
When: until the stock runs out, on a first come / first serve basis.
How: read the steps below (optional but highly recommended in blue)

  1. You likely don't have an engineered ship with proper shield defenses. So, consider flying in solo / private mode because Deciat can be very dangerous in Open at certain hours (e.g. it's not rare to have a full wing of end-game PvPer ganking other players from above, killing things in 30 seconds or less, without ever being at risk of getting destroyed by the station's weak guns).
  2. Reply to this thread, and mention your commander name if it differs from your forum name. That way, I will know the reason for an incoming friend request / squadron application.
  3. On your right hand side panel, select SQUADRONS, search for "GFMA" (Giving Free Meta Alloys) squadron, and apply for membership.
    • [Alternative for PC players only] If you can't or don't want to temporarily join the GFMA squadron, send a friend request in-game to LeKeno.
  4. For much easier coordination: join my Discord server or send me a Discord friend request at LeKeno#8484.
  5. Via Private Message or Discord, coordinate with LeKeno for a time and day. Or, if you see me online / in-game, ping me.
  6. Head to Deciat, Deciat 6 (planet with Farseer). Land on LeKeno's Fleet Carrier (callsign: B6J-OHZ) with a ship that has at least 1 free cargo space.
  7. Take a screenshot/picture of your right hand side panel with ranks, credits and rebuy costs to confirm that you are a new player. Share that screenshot with LeKeno, via private message or over discord.
  8. Wait until LeKeno tells you that the price has been adjusted to the lowest possible (i.e. ~9k credits). Note: the carrier will be locked down to Friends and/or Squadron members as a protection against a potential heist while the price is reduced.
  9. Buy 1 unit (don't be greedy, think about other players), and say "done" over chat or discord.
  10. Donate the meta alloy to Felicity at Farseer to unlock her services.

This might feel like a lot of steps but setting a sell order at the lowest price AND avoiding entrepreneurial traders grabbing the whole stock requires some coordination. If folks have ideas on how to further streamline the process or if there are potential holes, leave a comment :)

Hi LeKeno! I really would like some help with getting Farseer unlocked. I will try to join discord, haven't done it yet.

LeKeno - is your carrier still there? I'm not seeing it on my Nav system?

I have now tried twice to transport from Maia but I keep accidentally overheating the cargo bay when jumping and losing the &^%^& cargo.
Last attempt was 2 jumps away <sob>

Hoping to cast myself on your kindess!

UPDATE - I found it and have docked will PM you

Same issue here. Received invitation, acquired 2! units meta-alloy (first unit from Darnielle's Progress), meta-alloy shows 0/1 on Known Engineer: Felicity Farseer page.
Seems like a bug in Odyssey 8. running version 2021.11.04.277609.
