I engineered my Artemis with Improved Jump Assist and Increased Sprint Duration to make those sorts of terrain easier to navigate. I leave the SRV behind once it gets too rugged to drive. Works pretty well, and it's actually kind of fun to jump from peak to peak, like some sort of rocket man
I could be interested in a loose alliance against usurpers, pretenders and the forces of outrageous expansionism. Although I do have a soft spot for Anarchies, not that they’re expansionists it seems.
OK my "alt" commander that engages in this sort of activity remains anonymous as much as possible except with those he will work with. The idea is you conduct activities at any time that suits you but playing in open (so opponents have a chance to counter you) and we coordinate in some other forum such as private messages here or on Inara. Might go for a Discord if more members come on board.
I had my Vista Genomics suspended and needed to turn in some data, so I unsuspended it. When I got there, I was suddenly escorted into the hall with a message saying the service was suspended.
Lag I suppose.Yep, had that. Odd one...I had my Vista Genomics suspended and needed to turn in some data, so I unsuspended it. When I got there, I was suddenly escorted into the hall with a message saying the service was suspended.
Another ship which does that remarkably well is my Mamba (of all ships?!?). A lot of it has to do with an "efficient" PP, but my exploration Mamba swoop scoops way better than my hyper engineered paperplane AspX, and it finishes scooping half way "around" the star without breaking a sweat. As another curiosity: I'm building an ultra light Courier for combat, and even with an armored PP that ship boils. Funny thing is that in any other ship I've tried, once heat reaches 70%, the OH I have stuffed in the dashboard starts smoking. In the Courier, not until close to 100% heat, no smoke at 70. Strange ship Not when I started doing the on foot stuff. I think the charm kicked in around my seventh or eighth attempt
My twitch skills have been lost over the years.You've basically summarised two important aspects that define my exploration career in Odyssey.Landed on a planet with four bios and I was determined to get them all. Little did I know...
The first two were easy bacteria and fonticulua. The third was very high in the mountains - osseus:
Getting three samples to fulfill diversity was horrible. My chassis was taking damage and I couldn't go very fast. At all. The view was nice though:
And then... then there was the fourth plant I needed. A fungoida. Now, I don't what possessed me at this point but before I went looking, I decided to go as hight as I could before the poor SRV begged for forgiveness. So, up I went. And up.
And, of course, there was the fourth bio. Just about as high as the mountain top itself:
Now getting three of that little puppy was very interesting indeed. It only seemed to grow at the highest possible altitude and, given most peaks were pointy, an example on one side of the point was all I could get on that peak. It took three peaks to get them all, all at an ear-bleedingly thin altitude. It was hell and not even on earth. Still, in the end, all three samples were tucked safely away in my sampler.
Getting back down was an adventure in itself and I'd never seen an SRV do moguls on a black run before, let alone be in one when it did
Back at the ship, I decided to take one last photo of where I'd been:
And that concludes my exobiological escapades for quite some time...
Approaching four years too. Best read on the forum.
Thanks CMDRs!
I figured it was just old age. Misplacing things is common in ancient people, I understand. Now where are my keys?
Well, you know you are old when you can cough, fart, sneeze and pee all at the same time and when you bite into a steak, your teeth stay there.
