Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Ever since CMDR Penny Noon pulled up stakes and moved to Colonia, she sure likes to deploy from Odin's Crag. It's an independent detention shipyard




It's not a smurf
I can't count on how many times I've been there.
 
What repository does our codex info go in to? I'm sure I got it wrong. 🤷‍♂️
As far as I understand it, the codex is a collection of reported phenomena (biological, geological, xenological and so on).
And for each time you first confirm such a report, you get a reward. And sometimes (I often see this while scanning salad), you get a minor reward for comp scanning additional specimen.
 
The basic codex probably is. But I think the individual progress of each commander is part of the journal. Though I don't know if there's a serverside copy of these journal files.

I can't find the actual source I read it from but the fact that the (read: YOUR) codex data is held on the servers is also attested to by @varonica (post #3) here:


If I can find the link to the "horses mouth" source, I'll bring it to the party.

There are definitely people around here that know way more about Elite than I do. What I said was more or less an educated guess, based on what I have seen so far.

Well, each time you "achieve" a codex entry the info is actually written in your journal but the actual overall codex is held on the servers, each commander's id tagged to the relevant data. You can read the blurb about what is written to your journal here:


The codex part is the first section of the "Exploration" chapter (link on the LHS).

If you move to a new machine and don't move all of your journal files, your codex still shows all your relevant data. (Well, it should, there have been some bugs.)

I assume that even doing a clear save then the codex still relates to one's fid I presume - I have never checked that even though I have done many clear saves in the past.

I wonder if indeed the codex data relates to one's fid and not commander name?
 
When you realise one of your alts hasn't been active for three months... 😲

So it's an afternoon with Mikael and the flying slab of doom, In Nomine Mortis.
