Ooer. What's happened? Have I missed an update somewhere?
There are still plenty in Pleiades, might make a better story, finding them before they totally disappear.
Morning all! Haven't been around much, recently, owing to building work at home, but here's a question if you don't mind:
Our eldest son (14) is Fifa-mad, so has recently twisted my arm into me getting Xbox Live, so he can play on a team his school friends have put together. Thing is, in the margins of setting that up on (my old, now) his Xbox One, that also means that I have Xbox Live on my own Xbox One X. So that throws up the possibility of me starting to play in Open (hitherto I have been a Solo player). My question (and I realise, with apologies, that I could have left out the entire domestic insight/Xbox chatter, as the question stands alone) - my current ship is an Orca, so is switching to Open suicidal? I hear so many tales of big fish picking on small fish that I fear I might just be blasted to smithereens as soon as I leave space dock. I realise that I can simply try, but thought I'd see whether anyone in here has a view?
The Orca has weapons and shields and I'm not a complete idiot as a pilot, but it is configured for exploration and passenger runs - I don't kid myself that I can hold my own in a fight against anyone with intent and better equipment. (Can boost to almost 600, though, and engineering not yet complete, so getting the heck out of Dodge will be an option, sometimes).
Thanks in advance, Commanders.

Rofl.and im'm only halfway through.I took an interesting mission today, something I hadn't tried before. It was an assassination mission, but it was marked as "Biohazard Target". The guy was apparently infected with something nasty, and I was being paid to eliminate him. I guess he refused treatment or whatever.
I tried to track down the guy, but I didn't see a mission target at first. My ship said it was detected, but...nope. I opened the FSS to have a look, and got interdicted. "Military Interdiction" it said.
The mission target was part of the group that interdicted me. They were all Clean in the system, so I became the lawbreaker when I attacked my target.
I hesitate to say this, but yesterday I randomly saw an HGE near me and dropped into it. It had a state of "War" I remember.farmingGrinding for mats, finding Military supercapacitors is a pain in asp

Anyway, I found 15 Military Supercapacitors in it. I wasn't looking for them, but hey, I stuck around and mostly filled up on them for later.
RNG is so fun, eh?
That’s just paranoia it’s perfectly normal everything in the galaxy gets it.Yup, its universe conspiring against me.

I noticed that if the game was opened recently (as in a few hours ago), it would load quickly, while if I haven't played it for a day, it takes a while to load. Probably has something to do with cache.I suppose it's just "one of those things" but I often wonder why, sometimes, the game takes a while to load when it usually does so in seconds - I mean, the "warming phase" and "shaders" thing... ah well.
