question for the explorers out there

[VR] Mad Mike · Feb 13, 2015

Hi

I am under half a tank of fuel.... nothing to worry about you may think but i have completely lost track of the last scoopable star. is there a way to recognise on the colour of the star in the galmap which ones are likely to be scoopable? i have had a series of half a dozen T types.

Thanks

You can filter by star type now. Maybe that might help!?

Look for the following classes of stars
O B A F G K M

The acronym I was taught as school was, Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me

EDIT: Misread, apologies, leaving the post as is though.

Scoopable star class (Best to worst)
A, B, F, O, G, K, M

Not Scoopable L, T, Y - S, D, N & Black Hole

The galaxy map shows you what type of star each system has even if you havent been there. I don't think there is a filter so you may have to just scroll over the systems near to you.

This will give you the basics you need for finding scoopable stars

Nutter (the man above) gave me the "FOG KBAM" to remember.

The best acronym ive heard so far is:

KGB FOAM.

Just think of a spy, who is about to shave himself...

I prefer the "Games Master, Away From Keyboard", which I read in this forum. I like it!

FOG KBAM imo is very easy to remember.
