Patch Notes Fleet Carriers Update - Patch 4 Patch Notes

I am really no fan of mining, so I agree with you.
But you don't have to fill your carriers in one shoot, one hour of mining every 2-3Kly is not that bad when you can do that with laser mining.
Or you can fill your carrier from a station do relaxed mining from time to time to keep your carrier tank high...
Just stretched in time, still will spend (=game wasted) that huge time ... then while you're 40k away some in-bubble event happens, where you want to be ...and you miss it because out of fuel.
 
Personally i would just like a game that would let me connect reliably but that might be asking too much.

I'm not sure it is a problem with FDEV.
The last time I had big connection issues was when FC update was launched, trying to buy my carrier.
Since then I got maybe 2-3 connection errors max.

It may be because there are less/no problem(s) where I live (north-america) ?

EDIT: I also try to avoid overcrowded systems in the bubble though...

i am also in NA had nothing but orange sidewinders since yesterday, some of the folks i fly with in other parts of the world are having the same problems. So i don't think it's an issue on my end.
 
But...
I...
Just...
....pasted the link to my video ...
AGAIN!

Ech....

#491 of this thread.

No philosophy, just
a) equip SubSurface launchers
b) avoid Tri2 or Tri3 Overlaps
c) try single Tri hotspot
or
Tri/LTD Tri/VO Tri/??? overlap - they were surprisingly good usually better then pure Tri.

Don't ask why, MAYBE FDev knows but I doubt they will share this knowledge.

Actually it's all you need to know.

If some ring disappoints you, go to other hostpot / hotspots combo
You should get 2-7 SSDs every 4 prospectors salvo.
I had such results, why shouldn't others?

You can go to system from video if you want. I don't even remember where it was.
 
It was NOT today. It WILL be on Monday.

Damn. Missed this reply due to all the other ruckus. Thank you sir (or lady) for a straight and forward answer.

It wasn't really clear however in the op, and one could argue that "Fixed issues related to diminishing returns for commodities in overlapping hotspots" actually would mean that the tritium question would have been fixed with todays update.
 
Or take a closer look and learn from those who already cover long distances with their carrier - all on the basis of mined tritium alone. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been doing this for some time...
...time! I did 3 times already and back as you just did ahead. I just bought trit in bubble. But if you want true never return that will be hard work full time.

Sorry for being an ***hole.

Even if you are lazy ;) (IMO) at least you ask questions and look for workarounds,
unlike may other commanders here who DEMAND easy way and are allergic to any additional effort.
I got somehow badly tuned by late "interactions" on forum.

GL!

Again. In the end it's really easy. Give a proper answer or don't. This is a gaming forum and questions will be repeated, especially when a new update has arrived. If you can't contribute with a constructive answer then don't. My post was that I interpreted the info in the update as they had fixed the problem with double hotspots. As they wrote "Fixed issues related to diminishing returns for commodities in overlapping hotspots". Something that obviously wasn't the case when it came to tritium.

And yes, I've tried my luck in both single tritium as well as single ltd with the exact same result. Nothing.

To wrap things up; karma, reap what you sow, what goes around comes around, etc. Be nice and people are nice back. Be the opposite....and well...
 
Hard work only if you don't like mining. I wouldn't like mining based solely on lasers either. But I still speak from a researcher's point of view, and I have never understood why research is even considered a time-sensitive activity. Exploring != racing. This attitude is a totally made up illusion, not backed by any game mechanics.
Okey...once again for you :) Right now I'm looking into rogue planets. best way is to check planetary nebulas. I just jumped to 1, 500ly near. And scanning stars around explosition. Currently I see explosion result - on some direction you may see "lost & found" planets which have inclination. So to confirm theory I must check like 5-10 more nebulas. That will be many thouthands ly trip. I don't care what I map between, I do test my theory. Why can't I use fc with me? As I said to another guy - you don't need fc either, just put mark on map and scan around slow.
 
I missed to mention: If how I use my FC is too slow for you, or if you don't like mining or exploration or even both, then purchasing Tritium is exactly for people like you. Options for all and everyone. What's wrong with that?
1st ...it's only 65000ly reserve, so need supply somewhere in range. Also that will add expenses, instead straight go to target - need to return to base, which eventually faster then mining though.
I do like mining. But it is 120 man * hours for 65000ly. 3 full working weeks.
Also ...there are no tritium in bubble any more cheap, So I still need spend full working day mining painite, then wait price to sell, then load up expensive trit.

....and all that just because expensive toy. I do like it, but not so much to mine 3 weeks for 1 recharge. Eventually it's going to be parked or decommissioned, once it gets clear current situation is final.
 
You can turn it around as often as you like, as long as you refuse to accept the fact that you obviously suck at mining (which this stament clearly indicates), then no progress has to be expected. For starters: Mining has not much to do with "luck"...

Better watch out ;)

Got it. FCs don't work exactly the way you want them to work. Ever considered to adopt to how they actually work?
facepalm.
Next you should say I don't need it and should sell and use Anaconda, then I will respond you don't need it either and can use killback to go to Beagle...
....but, I hope, devs understand that I will want to refund arx too and they lose trust to pay em ... the reason why FC became personal - they want more arx sells.

P.S. I didn't even asked to lower jump cd :D I just ask spare me from infinite 2nd mining job. I can accept 4 hours for 65000ly trip. 8hrs at most.

Nah, what you need is that Raxxlan Unicorn, solve ALL your problems at once.
I search it. Every minute in game. And learn real science in searches...for example, did you know there are young NS, which maybe heavier then 3Sol masses and billion-like hot ?
I listened full lecture about it to understand it is not fake in game, then visited like 5-6 of them. Some like 40000ly total for that, close enough to bubble.
J. Lighthouse is example of 1 such.
No raxxla there though :( I hopped it was "siren" and "beautiful light" ex-president said.

Nope. Before the patch I had no problem whatsoever getting tritium. After, same problem as everyone else.
