Who's d you s to get your own system? Why don't we all have that?
Because, as I already said, ED is mostly a sand box but you aren't allowed to build sand castles in it.Who's d you s to get your own system? Why don't we all have that?
It's a prior to 2019 thing, most of this thread is, despite the influx.Who's d you s to get your own system? Why don't we all have that?
At 132 Ls out from the star, I was very much on the 'outer rim' of that particular ring
On entry to a system you use the fss (full spectrum scanner) to identify and locate system bodies. When you find an interesting one you travel to it and use the dss (detailed surface scanner) by using it to fire probes. Target the body and approach it, select “surface scanner” (already set up as one of your fire groups), it will tell you when you’re in range. Zero throttle and enter dss. Fire your probes- move the reticle to align with the marker on the radial line to land a probe on the edge of the body, fire one directly at it, or go beyond the marker but not as far as the “miss” marker (I usually try half way between the two) to land a probe on the back of the body. If there is a body ring then if you move the radial line at some point it will say “ring”, fire then to hit the ring! You only need one probe to scan all the rings of a multi-ringed body.In Tiapalan there is also a very large and thin ring. I crashed into it without seeing it. I wanted to scan that ring with the - how is this new scanner/probing thingy called - you know what I mean. My problem was that you have to target the central body and be close enough to fire the probes. I didn't manage to hit the ring that way. Perhaps you experienced the same with that ring? If somebody know how to hit such a ring with a probe I would be interested in how to do it. If there is no way to probe the ring, it would be a good place to obfuscate something in there…

So. Time for mission report: Went to Cimmerians DSS on all landables. Nothing found. Invaded some Imstallations got jaled and earnt some money. Yet nothing
Went to Styx: Nothing of interest.
Siidenote: Also went to Vega and used the FSS on Dixon. Now that might be interesting. Instead of garbled Nonsense there seems to be something about „Lakon“ when you use the FSS. As I'm on PS4 I'm a bit amiss about recording the message. Double checked with the base at Trikora btw. only garbled Nonsense there.
Hey all, coming back in after a hiatus just before the latest update. anything new on the Raxxla front to be aware of since then?
No ones. It was during the Colonia expansion initiative. I spent close to four months hauling Travel Guides out the Jaques. Twelve soul-crushing round trips to and from Colonia. I didn't "get" my own system. I earned it.Who's d you s to get your own system? Why don't we all have that?
Guess at that distance you’d have to move nearer the ring to probe it (), effective range seems to be 0.3 to 1.0 ls.I believe that if the inner edge ring is too far away from the body, you can't actually fire probes at it. I didn't try to do it with my 132 Ls ring, but there were 4 bodies INSIDE the ring, so I suspect that the inner edge was at least 20 Ls out. There's no way you're going to be able to hit that with a probe.
Edit:
Checked on EDSM and the INNER radius of the ring is 104 Ls. No way that can be probed.

Sometimes you also have to move to the other side of a gas giant to ensure you get 100% coverage
If four months spacing get you an entire system, I should go and spend that time near Tycho...I didn't "get" my own system. I earned it.
Tyko Rasalas insists on at least one bottle of 5* lavian brandy before he allows anyone too close!Gas giants with with unprobable rings... and how many moons ? 8 and more ?

Who knows ?

And I’ve just checked the forum to see what todays update is about, looked at FD online and Michael Brookes is-as Game Director!
So he hasn’t left us entirely, just gone quiet with his “hints”!!
How I miss the good old days-I’m coming up for 67, so I’m allowed to say that!
Edit: cant find any patch notes or notice on the update my PC is currently downloading. What gives?
