Greetings all!!
Recently picked up ED again... it's ok, life in the bubble is still....meh.....
So I'm headed back out to the black, and decided to swap out the AspX for a phantom, more importantly... THIS PHANTOM!!! (critique wanted)
s.orbis.zone
However, I only have a few engineers unlocked, so I am going to have to engage in the incredibly intricate and totally not tedious task of unlocking engineers and grin...sorry... gathering materials (see screenshot for my mighty list of engineers: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1939275080
Also the hefty list of crap I am going to have to gather:
So, with all that out the way with, can anyone recommend any up to date material gathering guides?
I am assuming any way to get the materials at a decent rate that I once knew of that doesn cause my brain to melt with boredom has been nerfed by Fdev, as is their want to seemingly stretch out any finish line to a players goals.
What do you think of the fit?
Would you do anything different?
I have considered putting in a research limpet controller and corrosive resistant cargo rack, but no sure if there is any point tbh.
Are Clean drives really that much better for exploration, doing a quikc google, the general concencus is that they barely make any difference to temps?
How long is it going to take me (roughly) to unlock all the other engineers I need for this build (2-4 hours of time to play every other day)?
I will also need to unlock the guardian blueprint for the fsd, but have been told that it isn't to bad of an experience.
I haven't explored since just after neutron stars got their whacky inflatable arms so I am fairly out of the loop, I've seen there are soom nifty looking lagrange clouds, anything else I am unaware of?
This post sounds really negative.... well I like exploration in Elite, it's cool! See, positivity!!!
Edited ship fit and materials.
