Explorers at Jaques - You Have No Excuse Anymore

Good advice, but a few points...

There is no engineer at Jaques.
Collecting materials (and commodities) for engineers takes time.
Gaining access to engineers takes time.
Ranking up with engineers takes time.
Many of the explorers at Jaques set off at short notice for the CG(s).
Several others dropped by Jaques on their way back from somewhere even further away.

So I would hope for a little sympathy for the explorers at Jaques - at least from a fellow explorer.
I myself am there in a multi-role Python, armed, but with only level 2 mods, and I don't have access yet to whichever engineer does armour.
These things are on my "to do" list when I get back to the bubble. I'm sure others have similar lists. :)
 
There's been some good replies here.

Yes, if you're already at Jaques with no mods - $deity help you (or best advice is keep in Solo/Group).

If you're an explorer thinking about going to Jaques - take note.

I'll also note that Engineers existed before a few Explorers set out for Jaques.

If you think NPC Thargoids (or whatever else is going to be in the game in the future) are going to be a pushover - feel free to ignore my advice. Fly with your paper ship :)

Righteous indignation will not save you.

Can we keep on topic of the best mods to help cope with potential trouble - thanks.

My advice is more for keeping alive long enough to escape being attacked - it is NOT in any way advocating explorer PvP and I fail to see how what I wrote could be construed in that way.

Once again - keep on topic - best mods for explorers to stay alive against attack whilst out in the Void. Attack survival strategies.

And yes - I still won't have any sympathy for fellow explorers who venture out there in paper ships! Not any more.

Regards

The USA?

2) If as you claim this doesn't apply to peaceful explorers...then why are peaceful explorers raiding the thread in an anti-open attack? Sounds very much like I am being stopped from playing the game I want.

Yet again a good thread going to waste over people that get triggered seeing the word "open"...or "combat".

Have you read the title of this thread? Tried reading the OP from the viewpoint of a peaceful explorer at Jaques?
Perhaps some people get "triggered" by other people telling them not to tell them what to do?
 
When you start a thread with - this won't be popular, no excuse, finish with - zero sympathy - what do you expect?

Ah of course...my apologies. I forget that some people get freakishly indignant over buzz phrases they see rather than actually looking at the content...how silly of me :) I take it back.

Perhaps I should pop you over a screenshot of where my ship is parked atm. I'll give you a hint...starts with Jaques, ends with...

If you're too sensitive to get over a few firm words and actually look at the content...not anyone else's issue, bud.

The actual content is the good bit. Especially around the heavy duty armour being free hp etc. But people love the opinion missiles too much.

open v solo stuff...lol

you know what guys.....go back to the good old days of the 1980s....remember when all we had was magazines to find out about games and scores ect?.....good times eh?

do you all remember arguing with each other when elite and then frontier came out?....no?........you know why?

because we didn't have damm silly modern day multiplayer to ruin it....


we all played the same game....


this is one space game that should have kept it real,and kept it true to its roots....offline.


imagine the content we would have had in this empty elite universe if we didn't have to cater for online pew pew maniacs...


we would have one awesome single player game right about now.




having the same arguments over at SC forums at mo.......


seems to be a lot of angry young men out there into ponies and other strange stuff that just want to kill for "lulz"....



its a damm waste of game resources.


how I miss your Sinclair and kamikaze bear

Whilst your advice might be useful for some, it's utterly pointless for an Explorer like me. I set out to make a long slow journey to Beagle Point that day after Horizons dropped. I.e. I hung around just long enough to equip my AspE for planetary landings and an otherwise fairly typical explorer load-out for the time. I'm still probably a few weeks away from BP (I'm not taking a particularly direct route, and I'm not playing every day). Once I've done with BP and surrounding area I'll head back via Jaques. When I hit Jaques it'll likely be the first life of any kind I've met in many months (although I hope to bump into a friendly or two at BP). I've been watching the forums, reading all the furor about Engineers, and NPCs etc., knowing there is nothing I can do about it.

So what am I supposed to do? Head back to the Bubble every time a major update gets released so I can re-equip my ship appropriately? As a slow explorer I'd never get anywhere. I'm really not looking forward to being back in populated space after such a long time, it's going to be quite stressful.

You think that's stressful? Consider this:
By the time you "hit Jaques", Jaques will probably be at Beagle Point. :p

Have to agree on that one.

Not sure what the point of that was meant to be, but...I am at Jaques currently...?

That's ok, I'll take some sympathy instead :D

I don't know about sympathy but I have a few unused engineer commodities and some illegal strength cider I can offer. That's about the same thing right?

Sensitive?
Moi?
I just asked a couple of questions. I didn't froth at the virtual mouth, mate.
And yes, I did read the content. See my earlier posts.
 
I have a great excuse. A. Great. Excuse. I can't be arrrrrrsed to bother with Engineers any more than I already have done.

But as a result you won't see me in Open. I know how to dodge NPCs, not sure about wings of overpowered PCs. Not that curious to find out.

Watch me :)

Enjoy your rebuys then, courtesy of the thargoids

Wipe your chin.
