A greeting from the unknown universe
I am quite a new at explorer, I just logged a ridiculous amount time in a short while in this game, a whole 100 hours in exploring. It went really fast to Elite rank in Explorer, but I really feel like spending more time out there in the unknown. I love it a lot, just hovering around in the universe. I have audio books and podcasts to entertain me while monotony is getting to me. I bought the game for just that, explore and listen to tons of books.
Questions:
1. Is there any site to give me information how the whole rarity of systems ? (Like how rare it is to spawn certain planets or amounts ?)
2. What is the hugest amount of "moons" you seen orbit a planet ? (I just try to keep track this, I think most I seen so far is 7)
3. What is the hugest amount of suns you had in one system ? (Mine is 6 see pictures)
4. What is a good strategy to deliver data in open, any tips to make this safer ? (Other than obvious answer to be in closed)
5. Is there some silent partner BGS minor faction ? (I am asocial player and want my time spent on audiobooks and playing but still to have something do in the bubble)
6. I see that some planets seem very warm, can I heat up and die if land on those ? (I avoided this as not lose my progress also even if died once, I like to challenge myself to stay alive)

I was really proud that I never died in the game so far in my 160 hours. I had my longest trip so far spanning a week where was about 6000 ly from the sun and collected about 200 million credits in exploration data. I was nervous the whole time back. As I am a bit weird and like to play open. It was a scary time to try portion out my hard earned data around bubble systems for maximize my benefits. Which I prepared for, no audio books, watching everything that happens like rabbit in front of a cobra. Luckily, I managed to do that without incident and I could breath out and relax. Which seemed to be my big mistake as I almost never seen other players or never encountered a hostile player. My short experience with game made naive. So, my new credits let me go from a Asp Explorer to a Krait Phantom. Which led me to try to engineer my new craft, I have unlocked Felicity Farseer. So I outfitted all the parts I could and plotted my course to Deciat to meet the old lady. I paid no attention to anything and jumped around system while listening a very interesting pod cast.
BOOM, I heard, I was in Deciat. I am still trying shave of time of approaching and landing on planets. So my whole attention was now on maximazing landing time. I approach Felicity's planet as fast I dared. I maxed my throttle and as it was 10s away I put around 75% and cruised and tried find good angle around 25 degrees. It went smooth, I finally had my glide time. My favorite time of planet landing. I was really excited and thought it was one my smoothest landing so far. Suddenly my whole screen shakes. I was convinced I glitched out somehow, until I first time saw the death screen. I was a bit puzzled. But EDDiscovery sorted it all out for me. I been shoot 3 times and exploded by another player. As I had only 3D shield generator I wasn't prepared for this and I was not even looking for other players even when they often are in Deciat. I wish I brought my Combat Python, but it probably would be same result. So now I had a dilemma.
I really wanted to upgrade my engineering before logging out. I could go to the closed play. But by my own standards it would take away the fear of dying. So I tried to human approach and contacted the guy that killed me. Told him or her my experience. How surprised I was and it was my first death ever. So stroking his or her ego a bit. We agreed on that I could pass to engineer. I was a bit nervous and was not in a trusting mood . It would be excellent funny moment to blow me up a second time, as repetition seems to make it more fun in this frame of mind. He let me through and I thanked my killer. It was a weird moment. It reminded me so much in real life, if you have problem and willing to understand your counterpart. You can often reach a agreement. Even people that do bad things have some kind of morals. If you managed find common ground and speak as equals.
Not saying that would be so angry if he just blew me out the sky once again would surprise a bit or make me angry. It is old scorpion and the frog thing. Sometimes the scorpion is just in mood be generous if you allow them to be. Then you are not killed when you took them over the river. What I like in this game, is that this is completly optionial. I complety understand that some people prefer not the frustation of interacting with other players. Personally I just think it is realistic with pyschopaths, so players seemd to fit that role a lot better than npcs. There is nothing more unpredictable then human playing a game.
