I hope you weren't trying to dock while we jumped earlier? ...actually just about 100LY away now, but on the fringes of an occupied zone - next up, I want to visit a Barnacle Matrix - hyperdictions & Scythes expected...
Wiggins Hydroponics Market, Dubbuennel System.
I soooo hate that layout - especially for restore missions.
... well, hate is a rather strong word, but you get the idea.
I ]M[usta just ]m[issed that carrier in system earlier. Party on!
But the strangest thing happened, a little bit the first visit, and especially on the return visit. I now see and remember I stepped on planets 2 and 3. Because 3 was not showing up on the system map, I hunted it down with FSS. And I was like holy moly is it really undiscovered but, it was discovered and mapped, and I guess I compulsively landed on it at that point.
On the return though there were no planets at all on the map, and I jumped away and back, and relogged, and hunted the whole map down with FSS again. Maybe fate sold us a wonky system, but, it was looking nice showing Codger and McWolf and I think another named of Triple Razor stepped on 9A. What is he or she up to? Steppin on 9A.
I just looked and Fnord and M both stepped on one too! Huzzah!

Would that be because of the open terrain between the two half's of the base? Some of these systems have up to four on foot CZ's, I was surprised, somebody's sowing mayhem and discord.
I guess you were already gone when I managed to get into the game...
Even in open, there was not a single soul there, except of mine.
I went on with my engineering tour, am now @ Littlewood Gateway in Laksak.
I wonder if those Barnacle Matrices are only to be found in the Bubble...
I'm with you on this one, although I've done enough restore missions in this layout often enough to vaguely know the route ('keep going right'). But I like it as a CZ, nice and compact, and good fun if it's a low-g world and you can jetpack all over the place
It's definitely my worse one although I know the route well enough by now. What really sucks is when scavs land and take your SRV out when you're deep inside. It be like kaboom before you can get back out and defend it.I'm with you on this one, although I've done enough restore missions in this layout often enough to vaguely know the route ('keep going right').

Enough adding to my barkeeper shop. She's made me a billion so I'll ease off a while I think.

Yep, it’s a bit of an anachronistic mix between an indoor maze and relatively wide open field - this could actually get much more interesting with appropriate game rules / mechanics… as a “map” it looks like it’s really designed for a kind of fortress siege, perhaps with vehicle assault leading up towards capturing the base core on foot (presumably the reactor in OD) …still, then it might need more of a moat/castle design, with the vehicle obstacle course (the inflatable “tents”) spread more around the central installation area?
Well, i usually land between the 2 main settlement areas, make my way to the big building (maze) deal with whatever scavs, go in, turn on the power, then make my way out, move to the other side to check the dataports in habs, then back to the ship.
But that's for a restore mission.
Now, when i get a "download stuff from a powered down settlement" mission type and i get there and i see this layout, only then my curses* reach the heavens...
In this case i have to make my way to power up the settlement, then to move to the far end to download the mission objective from the hab data ports, then to get back and power off the settlement and retrieve my precious Power Regulator.
*tongue-in-cheek obviously
I haven't, and to be honest, I rarely get close enough to get pugilistic with an enemy. I'm not sure that mod is even worth it - not for me, anyway.Out of interest, has anyone tried the 'Added Melee Damage' mod on a suit? Worth it? Or better off sticking to contact shots with an Intimidator?
I suppose you could add it to a mav if you needed to uproot a particularly stubborn osseus.
I thought that in a Mav, it could be helpful with those stubborn panels that need a beating to come out after cutting them...
Oops, yes, I meant add to an Art. Of course, the mav could use it for doing exactly that.
That and an upgrade mod for the cutter that lets it open locked boxes… and while we’re at it, extra memory slots for the sampler!
...well, the Cap-M Data Bar Sale seems to have kicked off with some success - even with the carrier parked on the edge of
*the really good thing about all this is that i've managed to clear out some data storage space, while getting carrier maintenance income in... if there are any special requests, message me & i'll try to add some stock if available!

I've never even attempted to melee. Why would you?Out of interest, has anyone tried the 'Added Melee Damage' mod on a suit? Worth it? Or better off sticking to contact shots with an Intimidator?
When trying to contact shot with an Intimidator....
a) Also to see the horror in their eyes when they realise Death has come to claim them;
and b) Blood! Blood for the Blood God! Hahahhaaaaaaa!
ahem

So this is a Barnacle Matrix... in the dark... :]
...lots of death-by-revenant - in scorp, scarab & on foot - ensued shortly after this pic was taken btw ...much easier to play them in a settlement maze than out in their own open fields ;p
