New exploration guide, hints, tips and tutorials?

[Nutter]

Hi Commanders,

I'm toying with the idea of putting together a new guide for exploration, this will probably form another forum post supported by videos, rather like the one I did many many moons ago - Nutter’s explorers guide to the Galaxy



That guide is now very old, some of it still holds true, such as FOGKBAM, however the ship builds are old and redundant in the upcoming release of chapter 4.

Plus of course, it is completely lacking all of the new tools and features that chapter 4 brings. All the tips and tricks to find those rare events like Worlds colliding, Moons intersecting with rings and using the galaxy map to find Supergiant stellar objects / nebula and much more..

I've got a new thirst for exploring and knowledge sharing, if you think this would be of interest to you then please let me know, it will spur me on.

I intend to record a few Ship builds, compare old to new and of course I still have not produced a guide for the Anaconda and keen to put together a Phantom explorer too.

Thoughts?

I think it would be a truly excellent idea. I'm very concious of the fact that many of the threads I link to from my "Best of Forum" thread are really old. That's not bad in itself as many of them still hold true but I'd totally support a new one for the updated exploration mechanics. Basically ... do it!

I thought it was FOGKBAM? But will you cater for the minorities that use KGBFOAM or even the luddites that use OBAFGKM?

;-)

I think an updated version is a great idea, I wonder if the Codex will ever start to contain articles such as these??

Well spotted (FOGKBAM) indeed! - Codex would be a nice addition, things like the new values for scanning and probing would be nice!

If you don't do it, someone else will.
