Nope - I have 3 CMDRs out happily using the FSS - it's great! Enjoy your starsEven the most vocal FSS advocates stopped exploring a few weeks after the introduction of the FSS.
after patch tritium

yeh, i knew that, u're one of that greedy bad guysThat's funny. I'm using the FSS mainly to get away from the boredom of "doing basically nothing" during extended exploration sessions. Meanwhile I do full system scans almost all the time. To me it has become some sort of mini-sport to keep me awake from all the passivity that usually accompanies these travels (I never just could stand the netflix alternative). And yes, I'm certainly one of the most vocal FSS advocates, but I never stopped exploring and still love the FSS. But according to many forumites I must be an anomaly and you can happily ignore me.
Now if I come by ur footsteps and want put my name for Eternity bcs I like system ..nope, everything marked up by 1 man. Hate that behave.So I come to conclusion, that only trolls like current carriers. in another topic another 1 explains me he can earn/cover/etc.Yessss. My personal way of salt mining, thanks for confirmation.
I.e. "solt miners" like it as they can do / see more frustration from other peoples
Yeh, exactly - despair of stupidity ... I have more options - avoid contacts with them, try to explain / teach if I must.
I don't see reasons to make fun on stupids. That's why I hate comedies too.
Not so sure about that. I went looking today and was surprised to find very little at all in the bubble. Was the regeneration rate of tritium at stations/outposts adjusted too? I kind of find it hard to believe that at every place I went had very little, not even a python load full.
I just pull the commodity data on Inara, if there is cheap trit I buys some. If not well I have my reserve.
I'm the same. Pre FSS I honked and if I scanned on object of a system I scanned everything (excluding the asteroid belts - I did that in the beginning but …). With the FSS things simply didn't work for me anymore.
I will use it form time to time, but every second using it is painful for me. But if some player enjoy it, then at least it isn't a wasted feature. I just miss the old exploration - to me it wasn't boring or doing nothing. The FSS for me feels like doing nothing. Maybe because I like flying around in a spaceship and surface scans needed a lot of flying around.
Anyway, the FSS is here to stay. Just a bit of nostalgia from me.
BTW - tested laser mining today in a double hotspot. Much better than before, but still a lot worse than before before
Got enough tritium for a small 20 ly jump, maybe more, enough to move the Carrier to an other system. The patch certainly made it possible again for me to play with the Carrier the way I enjoy it. Not the perfect solution, but good enough.
Stole this from reddit.
This is an example of when you make tritium too lucrative rather than elemental for game progress. Like many have already made the point about, owning a carrier should come with a certain amount of dedication. Elite Dangerous community hasn't lasted as long as it has by offering the fast lane for some novelty fun. Inflation of tritium compromises the long haul of game development.
Also, keep in mind this screenshot is mild to what I recall seeing myself in hyped systems. IMO - find a crew to manage your mansion.
System map needs a filter
That "not scanning the whole system" is widespread. Before and after the FSS. Players with the urge to scan the whole system seem to be the minority out there.
Long a go, in an other thread, I read the comment of one explorer that intentionally doesn't scan the whole system to keep things for others to scan. I guess everybody is different and has different motivations. I'm ok with that.
How does the FSS encourages you to fly to planets? The FSS allows you to do a detailed surface scan (the one pre FSS that required the DSS scanner) and the only reason for flying to an object is to map it (using the new DSS).
If you not only scan the whole system, but also map it completely, then I applaud you. That's something I don't do that often. I like the new mapping system.
The mapping system and the need for Tritium mining for fuel indeed adds a nice new game loop for explorers.
If the amount of Tritium that can be mined within an hour gets increased a bit it would be perfect in my opinion - but obviously by how much it should get increased is depends on the willingness of the player to spend time mining. For me it is still to low (after my tests yesterday).
The sell prices of Tritium could get reduced and the buy prices increased to prevent Tritium from being the best bulk trading commodity like it is currently. Even without the extreme low sell price outliners getting around 10,000 cr/t makes it way to lucrative compared to other commodities.
I think we miss use terms scan. I play since 3.3 so just read how it was. Full FSS staying near the star is a must, because it improves EDSM. Next, some aren't lazy people fly to EACH planet and do DSS scan (surface). So whole system gets single name without ability to add. That I dislike.
Listen more closely. I and others have demonstrated many times that mining tritium in the black is a viable way to keep a carrier refueled. For me the ratio of mining to exploration time is around 1:10 if I consider just the replacement of fuel used in the last jump. It goes to around 1:8 if I include the time to also mine a Rocket Tea surplus for my hold plus assorted money minerals as they occur in various types of hotspots. The Great Rocket Tea Drought (aka Patch 3) didn't even slow me down.
Current status: Close to 6000ly out from Sol in the direction of the Heart and Soul nebulae in the Elysian Shore region. 1000T tritium in my tank (full) and ~3200T in my hold, over 550M in exploradata banked so far, 3 virgin ELWs discovered and mapped, around 30 new Codex discoveries since FCs dropped, lots of other cool stuff found and investigated. All FC expenses covered by exploring, and around 3000T of money minerals in my hold, mostly incidental to fuel mining.
I'm using my FC exactly as I did in Beta 2, when resources from mining were a great deal more plentiful, yet I've never been even close to stranded and likely never will be. It's not rocket science.
Prior path 3 I was out there 2 times already and back to bubble. 1st run was to 3 Geminorium, then back to refuel and 2nd run to left side of sector.
I was only 5 hours to refuel to full.
