USS hunting has gotten atrocious with the new update

Wow, though it was the overclock on my rig. Not seeing it constantly but at least once an hour, game freezes in VR, then carries on like nothing happened.

Is there an active bug report? Never had any issues before the update.

There is, as far as I can remember, although I cannot look it up for you (I'm on a phone atm).

Don't know why anyone is bothering until the BGS settles down.

.
That's basically also how I see it. The BGS still takes a little to settle. It's quite likely that things start looking better over the next weeks. It was one of the things which also were not really testable and clear during the beta, due to the same issues.

Move on to what exactly? I need HGE's.. how exactly do I just 'move on?'

Surely you don't mean plot a course to a new system and fly around all damn day looking for HGE's, because there is no reality where that is 'quicker.'

Move onto another system and repeat. No point hanging around a system with no HGE's. I Nav'd, scanned, resolved - found none, moved to next system till I found some. Then filled my hold as theyre persistent. But the argument about waiting till BGS settles is valid. I'm just doing stuff for the sake of it, in order to learn the new system. I didnt even need Core Dynamics or Prop Composites. Its Proto Rads Im after. But, no hurry.

Yeah, I am not trying at the current time, I quickly realized there were no 'Boom' systems and stopped trying.

The method of jumping from system to system looking for an HGE sounds rather tedious and unappealing. I suppose if once I find one, I can farm it over and over it might make up for it but sounds like it's going to be a chore. Overall, this last patch has shown me that the game is just moving in a direction I am not going to enjoy.

I appreciate the advice though, thanks. I'll probably try again sometime down the road.

I much prefer it to flying around a system for an eternity finding nothing. At least now i can find out theres nothing before i waste my time.

+1. And the timer that actually shows you if there's time left to reach the USS, rather than heading there and have it evaporate just as you get close.

It needs a tweak, but it's better than what we had.

Agree. It's terrible when you try to find a needle in haystack while blinded.
