Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

What do you consider the "old" way, cuz for me it was using the SRV to shoot rocks. That crystalline forest thing is new-fangled.

I meant where you could scan a planet and spot geo sites instantly instead of this blue region malarky where there may or may not be a fumarole, geyser etc. Ah well - the price of progress I suppose!

 

[CMDR-NOBODY]

You are in Odyssey not horizons right? I heard the mats were totally removed in Odyssey a while back. Maybe they put it back.

whoooops, I'm in Horizons

I want this too!!! But screwing around in those crater with wave scanner is not that difficult ( DAV's have a huge one next to it), so I no longer care about those geo signals.

Edit: BTW, scanning data point at Dav have intel package $$? When I reached Naglinn to start the Imp grind, I found myself a pile of unclaimed intel package $$ for IMP & Aliance, 500k CR worth total!!!

 

[CMDR-NOBODY]

what.... is that inara or FD's thing?? Anyone get demoted before?

Anyway time to get myself a i.Courier to celebrate.

 

[CMDR-NOBODY]

Let's do imperial courier with Imperial Courier YAY!

I still have not tried the new post Odyssey way to look for geo sites on the planets. The old way of scanning the planet was real easy, I need to figure out what the new way entails.

I have nothing left I really need to engineer so well, maybe not now.

Marx's guide to exobiology

We should know enough by now for me to write a guide to exobiology, although bear in mind that things are still being worked on and researched, so expect some changes here later. Well then, here's my guide to exobiology. Let's begin with the two most frequent questions: Why should I do...

very good summation of Exobiology here

Got 5 DDs now. 5 more to go!

They're a bit like hen's teeth...

And now my router has a red warning light on it. Apparently a sign of overheating although it feels quite cool to the touch. So, tomorrow means a factory reset and re-linking stuff. That'll be fun. Don't have the energy for it today

Was playing my new alt for a bit today. After finding that G3 Tormentor, I decided to try my luck at other stuffs. I wound up finding a G3 Maverick, a G3 Dominator, and a G3 Executioner, all today Only a G1 shotgun though...

Still, not bad for a day's work (and that includes earning the cash to buy them via R to R). Was a fun day.

Took this shot from the Apex. Pretty cool looking little moon.

For raws, I still prefer the "old" way of finding them. I suppose some would say it was simplistic but then, I'm a simple man.

Not sure if it's overall less efficient, but I've just been getting tons of G4 and 5 mats from fed grind/Robigo mission rewards. Then I just go and trade them to get what I want.

Raw materials from missions? Interesting! Not sure I've seen that before...

I have finally tweaked EDO to give a pragmatically "decent" fps (in VR), and I really have missed the (space) game. I have always loved my frag Vulture, but it does use ammo, so now I'm building a lightweight beam laser version. I hope it's going to as evil as it looks on paper.

Oh yeah, btw. I also consider going bad and see if I can get that notoriety up to 11. So beware out there

Yes, EDO brings out the villain in us all. I posted a thread over on EDO about there being no missions for us goody-two-shoes types

So much for the "straight and narrow"

So difficult, if not impossible, to remain on the right side of the law in EDO when gethering materials and doing certain missions. You have to kill and steal so much, it makes the law-abiding citizen in me balk :D

BTW, I'm bit curious, during that short uber-super-mega-what-OP PA era.... did any CMDR tried 1-shot those NPC police? I guess killing a few of those in a roll would bring you the "SWAT" team for ya to 1-shot them??

Normally, you only get notorious in systems where the poor sucker you killed belonged to a faction. It's like in the US. Just cross the border to another state (system) and you're all clear. If you really mess up, you can get galaxy wide notoriety, but I haven't figured out how to get one of those. Maybe shoot down one of the imp or fed ships?

Right now I'm back to notoriety level 0. I just went mining for a couple of yours, and then went to an interstellar station and payed the bounty. I need to trade some mats for my new Vulture. It's red, it's got red beams, and almost no shield, but it does those twisty turns and flips like a paper plane in a tornado. Me like!

Hmmm, the Imp rank grind seems alot easier than Fed, those round-trip courier missions always come in mass.

1 more rank to unlock the clipper, those courier missions kept my rank progress always 100%!!! for the pass 2.5 days

 

[CMDR-NOBODY]

Oh my, just received another courier for imperial navy. Clipper secured!

Well done! Next stop: Cutter.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Grinding missions still.

Looks lihe habitat dorms are coming up blanks for DDs - the downloadables I have found are pretty mundane. Looks like I'll have to wait for them to appear as mission rewards and these are very few and far between.

On the flip side, I'm getting better at cloning

EDIT AHA! It seems I need CBN's not DRM's! Found a DD! I had to chase some tech around before I could clone him and then I was pounced on upon leaving the CBN. Eluded being shot at and got back to the shuttle OK.

One step closer!

Right now I'm at Robigo. It's something like every other passenger mission has a large optional mat reward? It's generally something like 3-5 Biotech Conductors or Exquisite Focus Crystals (both are manufactured iirc), which is quite nice. And then you can go trade your haul of G5 mats at a trader for the ones you actually need.
