Some of you are concentrating on Kerrash telling us to use the lat/lon system to divide and conquer.
Did everybody overlook the second sentence from him: "Or perhaps trying to spot interesting surface areas from orbit?"
Circling in orbital cruise over the right planet might show something (obviously not POIs that high)
good call. when others suggested it was impossible to find via just looking, i did read a bit too much into kerrash's comment, but still consider it to be somewhere in between a hint and an idea he had.
He certainly did know more than we did at one point - he said as much - but whether that's still true I doubt it.
A planetary scour would be great - especially if we are dealing with RNG POIs. If we're dealing with manually placed sites, though, then arguably it's more important to take system by system with as many CMDRs as possible doing all planets.
Suggest multiply-layered approach: some cmdrs doing aerial reconnaissance looking for interesting surface artefacts. That can be done from glide height and orbital cruise, then have other CMDRs flying lower and slower for a more detailed check. Finally, you need an SRV brigade at surface level to investigate too.
As always, instancing will be a pain, though, for proper coordination, because when you're off-surface I think it's harder to know where you are as opposed to when you're actually on the surface. Local geography/landmarks would have to be used.
would love to be involved, let me know
If people want to do a planetary scour ... I can try to put a map together this eve if there is a planet that people want to try. I will only be able to do the lighted side though. Suggestions anyone ?
would love to be involved, im going to outfit after work and head over to the pleaides. i don't care where we start but my suggestions are merope, pleione and maia.
