Here's a drinking game for the exploration subforum. If you have any suggestions for new rules, by all means post them!
Drink a shot of your drink of choice (default: tea) every time when:
- somebody asks what those strange lights in the distance are - usually they turn out to be NGC 7822
- a new explorer comes to the forum and says people who don't scan everything are lazy and/or not true explorers
- a new explorer comes to the forum and says people who do scan everything are greedy
- somebody says "true / real / pure / proper" explorers
- a new update is coming and somebody says an upcoming feature or change is going to make exploration too easy
- related to the above: "the galaxy is getting smaller"
- somebody says exploration was so much more actual exploration before X was changed, added or removed
- somebody says the Advanced Discovery Scanners are overpowered and/or people who use them are lazy
- "bodies you've found but haven't directly scanned should be blank globes"
- a new update is coming and somebody says that it has nothing for explorers
- black holes aren't dangerous enough (and should have accretion disks, by the way)
- somebody says they use economy mode for exploration (because that's cruelty-free)
- "How far do I have to fly to find an untagged system?"
- "How can an icy body have a hot surface temperature?" or "How can a planet be hotter than a star?"
- "Was the Stellar Forge drunk?"
- "Is this neutron star bugged?"
- "Is this weird wreckage I found far away from everything special?" (Sadly, it almost never is.)
- somebody says "pew pew crowd"
- somebody says "RNGineers"
- somebody asks what the best explorer ship and/or the best loadout is
- jump range: "is the most important thing for exploration" / "does not matter for exploration"
- fuel tank size: "should be higher than stock" / "should be as low as possible"
- "explorers should carry only one SRV / two (or even more) SRVs"
- "explorers should / should not carry weapons"
- "you don't need a shield generator for exploration, I can land on even on 9g without a scratch"
- time to explain stuff about science!
- somebody says they intend to circumnavigate the galaxy... someday
- somebody claims that multicrew allows instant travel / allows you to teleport anywhere (it doesn't)
- somebody asks what the minimum jump range to get to Beagle Point is, and also if they ask for a route
- who is the mysterious CMDR Validating?
- are people still looking for Raxxla?
- patch notes: "Mysterious things have been added"
easy mode: Only drink when:
- a Frontier Developments employee posts in the subforum
Hard mode: Drink an extra shot:
- for every new Earth-like World found (WARNING: serious health hazard!)
- when somebody asks if the Stellar Forge was drunk, but it wasn't
- when a new [DW2] thread pops up
- when somebody says that exploration needs more love, work, content. Super hard mode: drink a third shot if exploration needs new ships specifically.
Nightmare mode: Extend the above to beyond the exploration subforum.
Please be mindful of your health, and drink responsibly!
