The trip will give you twenty minute opportunities to come up with individual HUDs for your ships to reflect (not literally) their rolls and character.Don't get me started!
Well, I just blasted some enemies in a CZ to slate my thirst for combat and now I have my route plotted for my Formidine journey.Jump one is counting down... I may be quiet for a while!

Interesting. I'm using EDHM to mod my HUD but it's a global change. Need to investigate and dig further to get to individual ships. Doing 36 will be fun...
Check Main Menu -> Shipyard. There's a list of all your ships and you can apply theme to each of them individually.
Still trying to find out if your own custom themes show up there, too...
I haven’t done all of my 32 yet but I started out with the idea of a base themes for combat builds, exploration builds and hauling builds then my lack of discipline took over and things became more individual.
UI lets you save HUDs and has a shipyard option where you can select a ship and link it to one of those HUDs then if the software is running when you change ships the HUD will change with it.
It also lets you change the on foot HUD.
Your saved themes show up in the main theme list but without a picture in Odyssey and under the name you saved them as in the drop down list of themes in the shipyard.
I use the dropdown from the home menu to select "shipyard". I select a ship, then select a theme, then "save changes". Nothing happens. I've tried F11 in-game but that doesn't work either.
Ah... now it works... why didn't that happen last time?
EDIT: I'm going to stop fiddling. Changing one ship blew out the colours across the board so I had to redo them. I think I'll just leave it all as it was
I'm happy with that...

Halfway to the Gap * but only about a 1/3 of the way across the Elysian Shore. Isn't space big?
* If you haven't read it "The Gap Cycle" by Stepehen R Donaldson is a rather excellent quintology. A very different set of books from his famous "Thomas Covenant" stuff.

In the Rift. Exploration to begin very shortly.
Not sure that I want my carrier crew to acknowledge me as a colleague or whatever.
Not since they parked my carrier between this large gas giant and the two rings that circle it.
The trip from the inner ring back to my carrier which had orbited to the opposite side of the planet felt long enough to have got me a good chunk of the way to Hutton Orbital. When I logged back in for a second session to finish the trip I ordered them to park around the A moon hopefully things will be quicker with it outside the rings.

I feel you. If my carrier ends up in a place like that, I tend to fly away until I get LoS back and pointing to the giant. If possible. Not always so. So, yes, in a case like that, I'd certainly reposition.
But then I would also blame carrier ATC for being completely stupid and, if they knew who their capitano was, it would cettainly make the insults sweeter and more personalised.
This sector is, so far, disappointing in terms of getting first system discos - looks like I'm in a well explored area already. And a black screen of death on my first landing.
Seems like quite a few people have been out that way looking for Raxxla already… and the Project Dynasty mystery ofc ;]
When parking a fleet carrier near a gas giant, always use one of its moons as your parking spot. It should be on the list of rules somewhere that starts with, never fly without rebuy, always read the mission fine print, and if an offer at Hutton Orbital sounds too good to be true it's likely a prank
I'm abandoning this sector. The stars are mostly over my ship jump limit (without boost) and I don't really feel like carrier jumping everywhere. So I'm heading off to Kepler's Crest and if this proves equally fruitless, it's back home to lick my wounds and try going inwards into the galaxy. Temple may be an option or Vulcan Gate. Sheesh, what a waste of tritium!
I thought you were going to the Formadine Rift? I have a couple of accounts out there on a squadron FC and I can't remember when I last saw a tagged system. The are a lot more stars there than the galmap gives the impression of.
Maybe it’s your accounts tags that he is finding.
