Quick question for you if I may: how did you get that graphic you use in your sig? I assume it's from Inara somewhere...
Yes i get that,i have managed to pick up a couple that way,although misssing them happened more often than not. No,i was referring to the fact that i can't pick them up initially on the radar,so i had to eyeball every outcrop in situ,and either my eyesight is no longer up to the task.,(an increasingly likely scenario), or i simply wasn't close enough.In the end i opted for collecting mats in rings and belts,where i had modest luck in finding the iron and nickle i needed to repair my hull.Our circumstances are different,however,and this was several months ago, so as you say,things may have changed for the better.We live in hope.
Yeah when you go to your profile page there's a list of links over on the left beginning with Overview, Ranks And Reputation, etc. The bottoms says Misc And Signature, you can create it from there. I need to update mine now that you mention it, I've gone up a rank in Combat since then.
Decided to take a quick hop to The Bug Killer to stock up on some mats.
While I was there, Thargoid Theo turned up as usual and honked me.
It was getting a little rumbunctious so I threatened it with my guns.
I think it just laughed at me and sent my nav panel all wierd.
Anyway, I'm staying parked there for a bit to pick up more ruthenium and tellurium even though I've maxed the adaptive encryptions capture.

Spent most of the evening plotting a route that will get me the closest to my chosen destination.Getting frustratingly close (99% twice now,so i'm in the right area) before everything turns nogo red.
Finally found one which is on the limit of normal range( about 46ly effective) 279 jumps away, on the far side of the outer arm,and within striking distance of the halo with assisted boost.
I'm quite looking forward to the challenge,now, but i've got to get there first.

I've returned to the bubble, as I'd had done enough in my short exploring trip. I was discovering systems and planets around 1,000 ly from the bubble and wanted to put them in the bag. I've also unlocked Sirius and topped up on power with Marco Gwent. I am ready for something new now.
We know Fe sells EPT's and this got me to wondering... I haven't travelled around all of my engineers to check, but do any of the others sell modules that your can't get from standard outfitting?
Trying to decode the cryptics...
Farseer... enhanced power whatever that was? I have not unlocked all Eng. yet, but perhaps others know.While we are in the question round, anyone happen to know how many (total) encoded and raw mats are in the potjes once filled to the brim? I fogot to check when at material traders, and could not find a link to tell what the total amount is, I can say that manufactured accounts for ...
10,000!
Did some more jumps up at the roof of the galaxy yesterday (roughly 8500 ly while listening the "The Three Body Problem" as an audiobook), and ended up straight above Sag A*. It's ~2800 ly below. Before I go there, I'll try and see if it's possible to climb even higher. Not very likely, since the "record" altitude is said to be 3173 ly above Sol:

It's not too far away from where I am, so I might try and go there before taking the dive towards the big black hole. I probably have to plan it carefully, having only a 4C fuel tank on the Conda. So far though, it hasn't been a problem.

Hmm. I might just jump over there and give them a good spanking.Decided to take a quick hop to The Bug Killer to stock up on some mats.

Not in the SRV obvs.
✌(I've tried it in the SRV. Oops.)
Just arrived at the Center. What a beautiful trip. I couldn't get any higher than 2850 ly, so I decided to take the plunge, and what a plunge that was! The view approaching the core from up there is, well...
Next up is Sag A*, and then I think I think I saw the Pinwheel Galaxy through the Milky Way, so I'll have to go down instead of up, to see what the sky looks like down there.
When selling my data at the station I got a lot of these screens. What do they mean?
Can I name them?

for the more common types,i think the limit is 300,for the rarer types 200,and everything in between 250.Not much help i'm afraid, but my electronic photon thingummyjig worked fine last time i checked. In fact, i think it's still in its box.Trying to decode the cryptics...

They mean you are the first to find 13 planets and or stars in eight systems, on that page, and are now (a) rich(er) and (b) famous, well your name is tagged to them as discoverer.
Can I name them?
Unfortunately that is unlikely unless you won the right to name stuff in the charity auction.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!At the beginning, I had some trouble memorizing the names, especially when I did not listen to it for a couple of days, coming back then was mostly painful. Liu Lui? Lui Li? My brain is not used to these names. That being said, what a gargantuan story the... ahem... author - See! I even forgot his name!- has engulfed us in.
To whom it may concern. If you had not come across this yet, and because you are here, hence are probably interested in sci-fi, you ought to have a look at it. I got the first book in print version and then all three as an audiobook too.
This is no space opera, this is.... difficult to describe without spoilers.
It goes from science into the weirdest possible corners of your imagination without forcing LSD on you. More than likely it is very different than most literature in that genre you had come across to date, and that in itself was a great surprise, to be surprised!
I shall say no more.
Warning!
Personal Rant incoming
The year was ZyXEL.
Don't worry, I just memorize years different, and 128Kbps for high-speed Web browsing was state of the art, and because it was just that, it left a state of the art hole in the pocket at around 400 Deutsch Mark back then.
V.42bis compression, and most of all, you can send an e-mail while talking on the phone, or cruise the Web while sending a fax, and simultaneous Internet access at 64Kbps by two users from a single ISDN line.
I was the proud owner of a ZyXEL Terminal Adapter.
With that speed now, of ya go and onto NASA servers....

What you see here are 5,500 galaxies!
It is next to impossible to explain what this view triggered for thoughts and emotions, but deep inside, I knew for certain, my life would never be the same again.
I was convinced that the more people see that picture, the more the world will change for good, now that WE ALL KNOW!
Of course, nothing changed because of that, not a yota, not a sausage, nothing! War did not end, insane plundering of resources did not end, poverty did not end, racism and nationalism did not end. That indeed pushed me into a personal crisis of some kind.
If THAT did not have the potential to bring change for good, what could possibly trigger it at all?
I never felt more alone, the world around me had that strange invisible wall, I felt like a stranger on this planet with all the ignorant human beings unwilling to open their eyes, unwilling to learn form history and truly acknowledge what is really out there.
What you see here are 5.500 out of 2 Trillion Galaxies. Eat that stupid!
I fled into music and science, Hawking, Zappa and Scriabin felt like the only friends left on the planet. My world had changed, it was the event of loosing illusions. I started to smoke too much of the good stuff, couldn't give a flying bull anymore, subconsequently a depressive episode followed. I still functioned in daily life, but deep down something was in turmoil.
That was many years ago. The views I have ever since, they did not change. What changed was my view on fellow human beings, and as we arrived in the age of narcissism, I can not but smile at them. Most of them never heard about it, clearly a failure of our education system, and not by their own choice!
Plato's cave, the effect of education and the lack of it.
My Ladylove ia a science teacher (Gemany), hence I hear a lot of background noise, and what I hear is not good news, not at all.
Climate change effects on Greenland?
They consider to sell the meltwater! You couldn't make it up!
Ah well....excuse the rant, now back into my DBX.

Sorry... Fe = Felicity Farseer
EPTs = enhanced performance thrusters
ehh no! Class 4 in the DBX.
I fitted some to - IIRC - an iCourier once. And then stripped back as much other stuff as I could. The boost speed was insane (I think, again, IIRC, around 851 or maybe more). Mind you, I'd be eating the rebuy screen if I sneezed. Eject! Eject! Eject!

Sounds sensible, fwiw. Also, in these days of engineering, it can take so long to get a ship just the way we like it, I find it easier to develop and maintain a long term relationship. I'm still loving the Beluga, it is almost all A rated (51m cr for the larger modules is a stretch, but we're...
