Howws This Gonna Go Dowwn?

Hey OP. I often cruise under the influence. With the simple nature of the exploration mechanics you have to make it fun somehow. When I started out I had to return to the bubble to refit. Kept hitting stars and those planets would lurch dangerously towards me if I so much as scratched my aft.

My tips for surviving as a drunken sailor are...

  • 1 X A rated large AFMU, weigh nothing.
  • 1 x A rated small AFMU again weighs nothing and used to fix the big one. (I forgot this and need to return to get one)
  • Fill any spare space with AFMU, they weigh nothing.
  • A rated shields (I have boosters so I can use a smaller slot for shields).
  • Fly with everything off when cruising to reduce your heat output, this gives you more leeway when scooping or are close to stars.
  • Avoid planets
  • When landing remember to turn on those shields
  • Avoid planets
  • Bind a key to full stop. I use an xbox controller and it has made it all so much easier.
  • Hit that full stop button as soon as you get the countdown.
  • When very drunk, go slowly.
  • Avoid Planets.

Here is my load out The Wandering Pig in cruise mode.

****** Huge Update*****

Whell, last night I made it to my destination,,. "The Black Treasure" (5.3KLys from my home port)
Not my origin (LHS blahh some number)

So I made it to "The Black Treasure" got my goodie bag from the nebula/black hole.. ( managed to only only face plant two more times)

Whell I hadn't received my "Palin invite" yet.
So I figure I would keep on trucking til I get it then turn back..

whell next thing I know I'm another 1KLy's out and sitting right under the eagle nebula..

So I plot her up and make way and find my self dropping into a system, ,, with a Nav beacon, with ppl/system authority on patrol.. and I'm like wtfrick?? (7KLy's out).


Scan the beacon and find a outpost .."Eagle Landing"
Spent the night there, made much needed repairs.,,
If you may recall,, 50% modules across the board..

whell im now on anonther 1KLy trek til I get my invite..
Mind you at this point im 7,161(max distance traveled)
And 7.3Ly's from port in which I departed from. ..


AND YETT NO PALIN INVITE??!!??
what is this madness???

Have you logged out then back in since reaching 5k LY, if it's like the Ram Tah Guardian mission sometimes a re-log was needed to get messages.

Also if you're only waiting for the message to appear in the inbox, have you looked in the Engineer's tab on Palin's page, you may have ticked that box on his requirement.

Other than that, can't help, I'd been to Beagle Point & back before Engineers was introduced, so I got that requirement automatically.

I appreciate you taking the time to reply..,
Tho I have re-logged, solo and backk to open restarted console and have check'd engi tabbs..

unfortuneatly I feel as though I'm getting a big F, U... from Fdev,,

mind you being I was able to dock at "eagle landing"
I could honestly make it to Sag A.. I'm already half way there.. ..

But honestly I'm in a dolphin. . And I need to get home.
Not to mention the passenger I have along with me who will most likely eject into a star if I keep pushing ITT.
(He only signed up for 5.3KLy's and back. And I'm 7.5KLy's out....

Try looking in the bug forum, see if any other player has had this issue, or submit a ticket & see what FD have to say.

Me, I'd return to the bubble, get the UF's (I think that's what else he wants), go to Palin & see if you can open him up, if not submit a ticket, you've done your 5K minimum, so there must be a bug here if you can't get Palin.

Added...

Make note of the furthest system you where at before you return, so you can let FD know, should a ticket be needed.

Sorry for asking but you have ranked up Marco Qwent G3-4 as that's also one of his requirements
