Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[KnezBP]

I've done one CZ. Hairy was not the word and yes, I nearly did have my bottom returned to me, all wrapped up in a nice gift box with a fancy red ribbon. I ought to try again. I did it in my rather sluggish but fully engineered Corvette so a Mamba may be a different kette of fish.

I've just docked back at my carrier after another fruitless selling painite attempt. Once again, the bottom fell out of the market as demand had been met by the time I arrived. What I need is station with a large landing pad and an evern larger demand... could take a while.

EDIT

Oh yes, yesterday I ran afoul of the no orange blob again...

Not having a good time lately

I haven't planet mapped a ringed planet for a while but that's way more detail than I remember seeing.

Speaking of which, Jupiter and Saturn are kind've in conjunction so that's a nice sight.

Finally sold the painite. What a reduction in profit since the rebalancing However, it's still OK-ish for tritium purchasing and carrier UC.

I think I'll go back to exploring. I want to see more alien life. Of the list below, I've only encountered 'Goids, bark mounds and metallic crystals.

Species

The Milky Way galaxy contains countless different species of organisms, both organic and artificial. However, while life in general is plentiful, sapient life is rare. Only four sapient species have currently been identified: humans, Guardians with their Constructs, and Thargoids. The existence...

Still out finding Ammonia worlds.
Wondering if we'll be seeing a salvage CG in the near future or maybe an AX with CZs.

Interesting i
Suggestion. Have been wondering about Colonia... haven’t tried a Neutron jump yet either. Wonder how long that might take in my DBX (which does about 58LY jumps)?

That's almost 240LY/jump if you're using neutrons, so it's about 100 jumps total, not too bad.

Just don't forget your AFMU.

B..b....but... I haven’t done one neutron jump yet....!!

and it would be rude to get there before KnezBP...

 

[MishaTX]

400+ jumps out is, then.

Seriously, though, neutron dancing isn't hard or even particularly dangerous, just, and I cannot emphasize this enough: Don't bother with white dwarfs! Those ARE dangerous, and the bonus to range isn't worth the risk. Seriously. I mean it!

As to the whole procedure, it's much easier to just watch a YouTube vid than to try to write it up in a sensible fashion. Down to Earth Astronomy has a few good ones about it, if I remember correctly.

Allegedly.
I have heard claims that they were killed by their own tech or AI, which is why I only use the FSD booster.

Currently sitting aboard Gnosis B in KOI 413 waiting for the Gas Giants of Rhubarb and Custard to collide.
Only going to be glancing blow today according to the orbital mechanics dudes, the head on crash is expected for July.

Some Video of the event

Some of the work someone else had to do. All I did was get a lift on a FC and watch.

Rhubarb and Custard | Canonn Research Group

In July 3306 Canonn researchers mining the Spansh galactic database identified that two class III gas giants in the KOI 413 system were in essentially the same orbit. The only difference between them being the orbital inclination and the orbital period. This configuration meant that the bodies...

There's a website that's collected most of the knowledge we have about Guardians. It's pretty complete, and shows how much is actually known. It's really quite fascinating. Much of the data was gathered by the players doing the Ram Tah missions.

Indeed. fist bumps Gheera

 

[KnezBP]

I've never been killed by a neutron star but I've also never used one to jump further.

Teach me.

Tomorrow. Gotta go to work.

Looks dead easy- I suspect I’ll be doing the bit at the end that combines BBQ with washing machine:

If I’m going to do this, I’m doing it in a new ship, so have started a ship build thread. With an Orca in it.

 

[KnezBP]

Gheera always makes me think of Ghidora.

Apologies for the spam.

I actually follow that channel. The first time I found a neutron star I was almost burnt to a crisp. It was extremely fun.

I really do try to be a good Christian but I just want to stay awake long enough to see Captain Marvel being punched in the face by Thanos.
