Was going to ask flossy about the API glitching early again but its public now so DM be pointless... @Flossy hope you seeing this... Any confirm or deny this is tomorrows trying to go live again Early... Inara will be setting a script to keep deleting it as its not live in game....
CG predictions...
- Thread starter CMDR Serra
- Start date
The recent CG brought this problem to the forefront again, for me:
FDev, please fix your in-game tools for those who actually want to use them.
I know this one is the opposite of almost expired, but we all know the Issue Tracker is like howling into the wind:
With the recent CG (Caustic Sink Launcher Delivery Campaign (Trade)) Feb-March 3309
The galaxy map commodity filters are broken, and have been for a while.
I've gotten really frustrated just trying to see import/export prices of items a few systems away without having to alt+tab, go to Inara or something, and look it up.
I've put this Issue Tracker out there, hot off the press:

FDev, please fix your in-game tools for those who actually want to use them.
I have questions ready for the CG Thread. I don't know how the explo payment will be
A) Exploration data pay 1x until the end, when the bonus kick in
B) Ammonia data have a special bonus in the CG
C) The bonus will become bigger when new Tier in unlocked
D) All Data have a bonus, B or C bonus but for everything. (Only Ammonia advance the CG).
I don't want to sell a system with 3 ELW and 1 AW with 1x payment, for this I will scan only the AW, and left the remainin ELW for a second trip with 3-4x bonus.

these type of CG payed like one point for FSS-ing a system containing an ammonia world and 3 points for DSS-in the planet too
Or we get the same story for multi-weeks, not quite the same thing.
I remember that the controversy with this kind of CG was always that you get faster progress by using Spansh to find known worlds than by finding undiscovered ones. It's annoying if you want to contribute significantly to the CG; I RP that Cartographics have given me a list of planets to go and map.

Yep I am.
Caustic Sink Launcher Aids Maelstrom Exploration
Pilots’ Federation ALERT
Aegis’s initiative in the Duamta system has kick-started production of a ship module designed for caustic environments.
Shipments of advanced catalysers, heatsink interlinks and palladium were delivered following a request from Professor Alba Tesreau. Pilots also provided tissue samples extracted from the caustic generators inside each Maelstrom, which are a vital component of these modules. Manufacturing bases have now been established, allowing stocks of the caustic sink launcher to reach the public market.
Dr Maximo Fonseca, head of xenological research at Gateway Laboratories, published a statement on behalf of Aegis:
“The Thargoids have developed powerful defences to prevent their enemies reaching the heart of the Maelstroms. The dangerously caustic gas clouds are an effective deterrent, and have sadly claimed the lives of many intrepid pilots.”
“So, the caustic sink launcher is an exciting breakthrough that will both save lives and facilitate vital data recovery. Now that ships can survive for longer within the clouds, the acquisition and study of tissue samples and caustic shards should increase. The next priority for Aegis is to study the massive energy surges that prevent access to the inner region of a Maelstrom.”
Aegis has invited all pilots who took part in the delivery initiative to collect their rewards from the Orunmilla in the Duamta system.
It show 1 thing.
Frontier clearly dont understand how real exploration works.
That's why we have 1/2 weeks CGs about exploration, which:
Have 1/2 weeks.
Accept discovered planets
Have 1 selling point, of course in bubble (how about let's say bubble, colonia and in sag?)
Not today tho
Yea, now i hate them even more for the weird CG reward distribution
I could have done with 3 caustic sinks from the CG top25%, but not sure i want to waste my time collecting stuff in the malestrom after working my arxe off ferrying like 70k tons
Boooo
That's an interesting point. However, even for them, it won't be harder, just slightly more inconvenient. They'll have to travel out, what, three jumps farther? (Or one carrier jump.) From there, they can resume farming discovered AWs. It's not like there's any shortage of them close to the bubble.
So... feel dumb asking... but how do we get Caustic Tissue Samples?
According to info, they come from using Research Limpets on Caustic Generators... but when I tried to use a research limpet against a caustic generator I got "Invalid Limpet Target"?
So to unlock the caustic heat sinks, you have to do a fair amount of the activity that they would help with. Meh.
There's no other use for those materials yet either, so it's not like there's any rush for these.
You need to scan the generators first, then use the limpet controller on a subtarget that the scan reveals.
Oh interesting!
No galnet CG news leak at 1PM so that seams to be fixed again... Now they need to fix the API again...
