Horizons Unknown Probe woes

[Gravi0us]

I'm usually very tolerant of FDev's RNG-based design, but this has snapped my patience completely. I simply do not understand why they would create such fantastic content but then prevent the majority of players from enjoying it by locking the central component - the UP - behind such a low-odds RNG wall.
If it's working as intended it's simply poor game design, and if it's a bug it's simply shabby execution. Either way, it's staggeringly incompetent.

I've managed to find an UP (twice) now - took maybe 10 minutes flying around an ammonia planet. They were in degraded emissions USS both times. Someone suggested giving the RNG a helping hand by logging off (back to the desktop*) and logging back in again, might be worth a try...

 

[Gravi0us]

To be honest I've tried everything, following all of the routines that seem to have worked for others. It's soul-destroying...

Yeah... I thought I was onto something when I first got a UP within about 10 minutes, so I tried similar techniques in multiple planets... nada for about 6 hours now.

Yea, I am with OP. Two days getting a flat bottom circling a ammonia world.

I mean, ok, so I spent another 42 usd on ship paint, kits, suits, srv paint for screenshots... hud matches suit color nicely mind you.

For the glory of circlin... and a circlin.... and a circlin.

Night gangsters, will try day three tomorrowz.
