It's only pretend money, I'm telling myself.
Quain is raring to go and super excited about having his own castle in space. In a parallel story telling universe, he is a knight in shining armour with ambitions to be lord of his own castle. It's happening now for him in the Elite Dangerous universe.
I'm in Diso where there are 110 FLeet Carriers parked!
Do people buy these things and never move them anywhere...
I have NO idea what I'm doing with this....

If you actually go 5.1 (or 7.1) then your audio experience of Elite will astound you. Sitting in front of the slot when launching for example you can hear the ships behind you then transition past your side - the soundscape is superb in Elite to my mind the only improvement would be if they did Dolby Atmos.

I really miss the soundscape if I play in cans - volume doesn't compensate and DTS Headphone:X is a feeble substitute.

Speakers rather than a proper surround headset?

Oh yes, speakers - far better than any virtual surround headset.

The only thing that beats them is good quality headphones listening to binaural sounds - simulated binaural is pants at the moment.

I've listened to some binaural beats although the rumours of having a relaxed trip into sleep didn't work for me :D

I ran into an interesting glitch in the Galmap the other day.

I'm currently out in the boonies with mostly undiscovered systems around me, but I noticed that the Galmap was offering to sell me the exploration data for a nearby system or two. Hmm. I figured that they must be discovered systems, then, so I bopped over to one to see (without buying the data).

It was an undiscovered system. How strange. I went back to my carrier but the Galmap no longer offered to sell me the data. I wondered what would have happened if I had bought the data.

Today, again, I noticed that I could buy the exploration data for a different nearby system, and this time I bought the data. The sale succeeded, and I was then able to view the system map. But in this case, the system actually was fully discovered by someone else.

It's a bit of a head scratcher. I guess it kinda makes sense if the system is already discovered, but the first one was not. I still don't know what would have happened there if I bought the data.

Yes did buying the data cause the second system to be discovered, did not buying the data cause the first system to become undiscovered, is the cat in the box with the random kill feature alive or dead or does the worse case occur if you open it and it becomes a 1 eyed tom cat called Greebo that is put out about being locked in a box?

Tune in tomorrow to find out same bat time same bat channel.

So, if you accidentally request a Fleet Carrier to jump, how to you cancel the jump and avoid using 500t of Tritium to jump in the same system so going nowhere. Asking for a friend... :rolleyes:

Ah, locked down for jump in force.

You can cancel it from the Galmap, until the lockdown happens. Then you can't cancel it anymore. And it won't use much fuel for an in-system jump. Fuel use is calculated by distance and weight (of the carrier, with everything you've installed and all your cargo -- but not any ships that are docked).

The Spansh site has a good fleet carrier router that can figure out fuel usage (assuming you're going somewhere EDSM knows about).
