Stuff you've always wondered about

A thread for questions - for noobs and advanced players - for stuff you want to know, no matter how stupid you may think the question is

Not a thread for open vs solo, grind debate etc

Mine: do massacre missions still stack? I have a faction offering two missions targeting same system and same faction, one for 16 kills the other for 42 kills. Can I combine them or will I have to kill 58 in total?
Yes
 
Whatever happened to running around different planetary bases and scanning the data points for encoded data... Does anyone still do these? I found a bunch of base layout printouts yesterday during packing up the house for our move to Oxfordshire next week. It brought back fond memories of doing these in the SRV 🍿
 
How can there be an alpha and beta for Odyssey, with feedback and issues being addressed from those, but it still releases in Q1? I think I may already know the answer to this...
Don't ask awkward questions FDev don't want asked! 😵
 
I have 2 questions that I think I know the answer to, should know the answer to.

When I've finished bashing some pirate up, I'm collecting the mats, to recharge my shields more effectively, I need to fill the System PIPS, right?

If I have used synthesised ammo, I'm now about half full, maybe a third, If I reload in a station, I lose that bonus ammo, right?

Thank you in advance for answering me and mocking me.
 
I do not know; yes you should; yes; I would like to know too esspecially with premium ammo; you're welcome and will try next time.

What I would like to know is why does my scarab booster engage immediately when I am using the turret and press the correct key, but not when I am driving the srv and pressing the key, only some seconds after I have hit the obstacle? I suspect I have installed the "Capt'n Obvious" model.
 
If I can store an unlimited amount of ships throughout the galaxy, why can I only store 120 modules?
Why can't I have player crew and fly in a wing?
 
Is there any, I mean ANY sensible reason to use the 'dedicated' passenger liner that is the Orca over a Python.... for passenger missions???

More quickly yes. they are iirc 2.7x as 'strong' with 4 PIPS in them so more effective as well.

Yes you lose it on all the ammo, it doesnt distinguish between the first synth boosted and the new base ammo.

My Qs:

What exactly do I see in Local System Chat? Do I see PG & Solo from my own Platform only?
Why cant I find people asking for wings, usually at CGs?
