Ah, I see. So perhaps it wasn't bugged, then, just unfamiliar.
In any case, I only had seconds to consider what to do, because my ship exploded a few moments later anyway

I was hyperdicted by a Glaive on my way, and it made my cargo hatch malfunction, dropping all my limpets. I had to synth some once I got to Taranis
Didn't matter. Having the decontamination limpet running was not enough to offset the constant caustic damage.
Just happened to me on the way to Leigong - first time i've had the uhm "pleasure" of meeting a Glaive in my own ship... couldn't get away as it masslocked me 20:1 - turned & fought, got it down to below 10%, but the gang of scouts that came to support it got me... next try after dinner i think ;p

Gosh, another 10mCR. I'm staying here for a while
Stealthboy released a new video about AX Restoration missions -- how to find them, what to expect, what works and what doesn't, etc.
It's worth a look if you're interested in these. I will no doubt try my hand at them pretty soon, myself.

How you choose to play is no concern of mine. The converse is also true.
With regard to the post I responded to, Mr. O'Flaherty highlighted credits and the convenience of a nearby station; I simply noted that staying on the planet is more convenient and significantly quicker.
What matters is whether or not what one is doing is purposeful and engaging; "immersion" emerges from that. If I'm doing Odyssey CZs, why would I want the distraction of magically appearing in a Vulture 100KM above the surface of the planet I was on to be ferried back to a distant station? I could complete another CZ in the time it takes to fly back and forth.
I only bother with CZs when I want a particular faction to win the conflict. If the conflict is contested, victory amounts to winning more CZs and gaining more credits in bonds than the opposition.
Discovered one can team up with pirates in a "convoy dispersal pattern threat 2" but only receives "thank you" when winning :'(
Today was quite odd... Been a few weeks since I last logged into the game, due to RL reasons.
On starting the game, I get an update - in the museum?
When the game finally started, I noticed a new to me system state - drought.
Heading out with the Stargazer to collect some mats, I stumble across some ceremonial comms. Not the first time I see this signal, but upon taking a closer look, I ran into a funeral. That was new, at least to me...
I went on, visiting some degraded and encoded signals. Business as usual, at first. But aftter a secondary scan to find some new signals, I came aross a few signals that had NPC rescue operations underway - and no mats...

Bah. System state changed on me again. CZ's got up and gone
Maybe time to haul or shoot stuff in the new CGs for the new Aegis pulse wave scanner.Bah. System state changed on me again. CZ's got up and gone
As far as my trip goes it is obvious I am nearing civilisation as I am seeing
Is there any particular reason you're smashing conflict zones?Bah. System state changed on me again. CZ's got up and gone
I'm after elite rank mostly. I want to master the Executioner too but that bolt is so damn sloooooow.
Edit
HR6649 is a 22.5m population system in war - should be able to rinse a HICZ or two there.

Ngl, it's been a while since I drank cheap beer.
Now the 8% starkbiers I've been enjoying of late... those can have the same effect for twice the price in half the time
Meanwhile, ohw, new CG up I see. Both trade and combat. I guess I can ship my FDL over to the station while I'm finding supplies and have a bit of both worlds
Maybe we'll be able to mine all those asteroids in the Maelstrom. Tharg Opals could be the next big money maker!
You get a free one if you do the CG. But you can also just buy one at any large surface port with a Military economy.
I got one at Hudson Arsenal in Nogambe.
I'm not entirely sure what it does. It puts both "Xeno Scanner" and "P.Wave Xeno Scanner" on my Fire Groups page. It appears to have less range than the Enhanced Xeno Scanner, if that's what the stats mean. I don't know.
Anyway, I have one, and I suppose that we'll discover how to use it.

Yeah, half of what the advanced xeno scanner is capable of, but double of the original xeno scanner's range. If I remember those numbers correctly.
Wait a sec... I thought they would be available from next thursday on...
Oh they are available already? I had thought some community-scale grind would be required before we got to use them... ;p
ahh missed the headline this time - I presume you're fitting the 7C to a larger maelstrom-proof warship now? :]
I went back a few times yesterday, managed to get through into Leigong 3 times out of 8 attempts iirc - collected a variety of goodies, some useful right now, others that will be demystified in good time I hope... ;]

I'm "grinding" rank - although, to be honest, it doesn't feel like a grind; more great fun.
Nice, keep it fun & light I say - even if one is rampaging about flakking NPC's in the face
Oof. Tough CZ.
Died twice in about a minute due to pinpoint sniper accuracy and rockets. Still, we got there in the end - but it was close. Mind you, the payout was measly so another zone needs to be found.
EDIT Woo - LHS 145 has 93 CZ's! OMW!
EDIT 2 And most of them are 240Kls away.
