Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

These skills can be helpful in everyday exploring, as well... It is a fascinating technique, that's for sure.
It's a bummer that the Elite Team of FDev doesn't have enough manpower to implement some placeable props and a simple waypoint system...


I can relate. Didn't do it often enough to be able to get the efficiency bonus every time... It's still a little inconsistent - one time, I managed to get the 100% with only 3 probes, another time 8 were barely enough to get the job done.
I cheat and have these on my exploration ships. It's quite hard not to hit the efficiency target with these:

Engineered Detailed Surface Scanner V1​

A pre-Engineered Detailed Surface Scanner with two Expanded Probe Scanning Radius modifications called "Engineered Detailed Surface Scanner V1" can be purchased at Human Technology Brokers. Unlike unlocking most other Technology Broker items, which makes them permanently available for purchase with credits at station outfitting services, unlocking the Engineered Detailed Surface Scanner V1 immediately places one module in local storage at no additional cost. The module must also be unlocked repeatedly in order to obtain multiple copies. Applying any other Engineering modifications to this module will remove the bonus second modification.

Unlocking requires the following Materials:

I have got to get me one of those.

Edit to add: I already have all the materials so I'll get one the moment we get back from this outing.

Me too... Apparently, there is more interesting stuff to be found at these brokers than I thought.

Edit: Totally forgot... I found something.

Maybe not the most spectacular sight, but it is a first for me.

You target it and shoot it and it'll split into materials you can scoop up.
Thanks to the holobroadcaster YouTube, I already was aware of that. Spent quite some time there, doing that.
Thanks, nonetheless. 🙂
And you can shoot it in the SRV or on foot...
Well, my feet are bound to the SRV, so...
But thanks for the heads up for the future... 🙂
 
I was in Odyssey last night doing Transport missions. Tried to log in to Horizons tonight to collect hi grade raw mats from a moon (they don't exist in Oddy on this moon). I must have logged off on the concourse last night, hence the message, but I can't work out the list of failed missions. I'd completed all the missions before logging off last night at around 9.30. The time limit for on-foot missions is about 6Hrs, IIRC, and I tried to log in tonight around 7ish.
Also, there's a Contaband mission there, which I wouldn't have accepted, as I'd probably die. Weird! Also, isn't there a limit to on-foot missions you can accept in one go?

I just re-logged in to Oddy and was in a concourse, but I had a bunch of missions I'd completed last night saying Contract Failed and a message saying a shuttle had been booked. I don't think I was drunk last night!

You go to the black market instead of the mission board and the next thing you knew, ...wake up in the concourse with your spacesuit smelling of elderberries & Onionhead Gamma
