Woah! I thought they were always dark.
Yeah. Isn't that just the thing. I've never seen one on a day side either. Just like engineer bases - night, 95% of the time. Sometimes I think the game's trolling us.
EDIT: Also - looking at that image, I realized I've been to this exact ruin! Although it was almost a year ago, I can still point out all the locations of the pillars and things to shoot. And all the stupid beams and rails to get stuck on.
I've spent good two or three sessions there. (all in the dark, of course, as pointed out earlier.
)

Eeew. Never put stuffing in a donner kebab. Not after last time.You have arrived at a particularly unfortunate time in Deciat, apparently, Depending on your propensity to engagement in an hostile environment, you may experience periods of re-buy screenage.Good luck.
p.s.Where do you put the stuffing?
I did actually supercruise for while after engineering to see if I could out run another mob, but the only human players I found were a couple of fellow newbies. My FSD and power plant got a little boost though. I'll just need to use that SRV some more because I have OCD when it comes to upgrading the Cobra and iEagle to the same level.
Tiny quesh, does hitting the afterburner while zooming down in supercruise glide mode actually do anything other than overheat your ship?
It does about as much as if you rev your engine while coasting downhill in neutral.
Is it breaking though? Speedometer says 2500 nearly all the way until you exit glide.
No, it simply does nothing. The glide speed is 2.5km/s all the way down.
First impression of the FC (Spirit of the Age).
It's probably too much tool for me at this precise time but then that is also because I purchased the bare minimum husk. No services, nothing. Not even the cosmetics. So I can't cash in UC data, I can't refuel or repair. What I have done is loaded my tiny fleet on it, my trimmed collection of modules and hopped into a system around 150ly from Colonia. Got my mining ship out, done a bit of mining. I'm collecting anything I can carry. I figure at some point, I'll head back to a populated system and check out the mission boards to see if I can satisfy any of those mining missions. I'm no miner but I'm guessing the upcoming patch will make that even easier.
I can see with the addition of services I will be really mobile and so a return to the bubble will be on the cards. In the hour of owning it, I did wonder if I had made a mistake, I suspect that was the impact of looking at my bank balance which went from 5bn to 28m credits. I will keep it for now. I will enjoy 'working' to afford the services.
I'm considering an idea whereby I get the shipyard service and fill the thing with Sidewinders. I'll then post a notice on here to say that I'm taking off to plot up next to a high gravity planet. 9-11g I'll invite people to come along and we can see who can land a stock Sidey on the High G planet.

When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail
I prefer having a pipe. That way, everything looks like something to smoke.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe
Apropos of not much - did you know that Matisse also created a painting called Golconda?

I was wondering the other day why no one has invented a pipe vape. I think it would class up the scene.I prefer having a pipe. That way, everything looks like something to smoke.
I now have around six million more creds than you, n00b.
What's your carrier's name?
I reckon I would win that Sidewinder challenge though.

Spirit of the Age.
I’ll take you up on your challenge. Be a while yet though. I’m broke.
I kinda figured you for the hippie type. Plus it's not an awkward acronym so that's good.
If mining gets profjtabls again, I may be in the merecat for a Carrier. Want 10bnCR first though.
And then I have the mammoth task of thinking of a name for it. Nostromo or Sulaco would be great but hardly original. Liberator? Nah.
Verity Pushpram? Rob Anybody? Arnold Sideways? Reg Shoe? I already have Angua von Uberwald and Moist von Lipwig so maybe another cannon.
