Material drop at Davs hope?

[Lobey]

I basically use Dav's as my home base -I like the ambience and it's actually good for raw materials as well - it has a nice wide plain around it that always has a good smattering of stuff and a few poi's. The drop rates never changed, was just a bit of a misunderstanding. You can mode swap like a looney, but personally I find a drive round at log on and/or log off in solo fits the bill quite nicely and tops my supplies off.
If you really want manufactured in large quantity - sit in a Haz rez and vapourize every pirate that comes up to you while having collector limpets out - this also gains you encoded data from checking if they are pirates first and it's a great way to train up an npc crew member.
Then just visit a trader and swap as required (I just keep some of everything - pretty easy when you get it by the shovelfull)
https://inara.cz/galaxy-nearest/25/ is invaluable for this.

I do, it was weird. They said the nerf was intentional and people complained, then don't go along with it and say it was a bug. Then people start saying all the posts complaining about it were dumb cause it was obviously a bug, as if it wasn't listed as an intentional change. I would feel like I jumped into a mirror universe if I couldn't go back and read the notes, it has been bugging me for a while.

Exactly.
Well, I won't complain.

I think this was a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing - someone probably did intend a change - but not everyone at Fdev was aware of it - then when news of it leaked and they got the huge angry response it was all quickly brushed under the carpet and forgotten about.

I was there yesterday.

• Drops still 3 per material.
• Data beacon inactive after first scan: on multiple relogs.
• Improved planet surface (greyer, cooler looking)
• Improved graphics and models in Dav's Hope base.
• Good spread of materials including very rare's.

Once the main data beacon is scanned it places Dav's Hope into the navigation page. A player can then go surface prospecting if desired and then return to Dav's Hope later. Comes in handy if one needs materials for SRV repair/refuel. Logout/login many times and it is still there without re-scanning. If effected by RNG it might not be there on the next login.

Most materials at the mining facility are manufactured and rare manufactured. There are 10 canisters so that's 30 materials in 10 types. The types change per each run.

A Solo player can logout/login back to Solo for a refresh or wait for the standard refresh (what is it now...10-15 min?). No need to cycle to different Group or Open modes.

Not sure but I think when the ship is dismissed it doesn't use any fuel. When parked on the planet surface it does.
