Nice, I'm doing my best to do plenty of missions to save up enough money to get what I need. Including all the better quality modules to put in... Then I may just go off exploring somewhere
@Ploppy9001 if you need cr's do delivery jobs on mission boards for a while it will mount up very quickly. Stack them up to the same system and off you go. also carried a fuel scoop thou. or most are only 2 lys away some can be further.✔

That's because you can scan them with the Comp scanner for a Codex entry. You knew that, right?
The double engineered 5A FSD (tech broker), get one ready if you havn't. No point spending credits on the standard 5A.
With the Winking Cat's 150++m, you already halfway there at least I assume. IIRC a full A rated Krait2 is under 300m?
This is mine(except for the double engineered bits that coriolis cant spec). https://s.orbis.zone/hm84
Under 250m credits.

I'm with you on that! I thought the codex entry happened automatically as it appears on the info panel when you find a "new" speicies! Well, well, well...
It's a Horizons type Codex entry, with a small payout. 50k for a first, 2500 or less otherwise. But it's something. Mostly I just make sure the Comp scanner is up and I'm in analysis mode while driving, because if my reticle passes over a bacteria it will light up. Helps a little with finding those flat things.
well i knew it, but had too re look up on youtube & how to get it on the exobio discovery. :
Ok, traded off a few tons of cargo space for 1 more limpet (6 total now), can fill the hold < 1hr

iCourier is immense fun. I think I've made close to 300 M Cr flying it.

What did I miss ?
Did a little first-time surface salvage. Since there's little info online, I just found a distress beacon and landed at it (the game crashed twice on the way down, but seems to have settled out now).
Dead pilot and some illegal goods. Swiped them anyway. They no longer seem to be flagged as illegal, which is useful I guess, but I'm not sure how that happened... Maybe possession is 9/10ths of the law. Previous owner certainly has no use for them.
Second site, another dead guy. Realised my arc cutter does a thing and pulled some bits out of his ship. I sold them to the bar tender, some for credits some for... I don't know what. I have no idea what the 'assets' sold for. I'm also struggling to find a list of assets that I have. This game isn't really helping me work out how to play it today.
Since I needed e-breaches and didn't have one, went and found a seller in Diggidiggi. Took a legal salvage mission for the controlling faction here to get some rep with them, since it seems like a useful supply point.
And then I spent about 30 minutes getting cross with bacteria...
Maybe it's just bad luck, but this was really rather easy to miss while driving past a few times.
OTOH, Diggidiggi 2 is absolutely the place to be if you should for some reason desire occupied escape pods in the Colonia region. On two separate occasions, I detected exactly the same distress call, on exactly the same landscape formation, with 6 pods waiting pickup.
Filling up on 4 of the pods, I briefly scouted up the valley in case there was, say, a ship somewhere. There wasn't, which is a mystery in itself, and during time I was away, the remaining pods decided to levitate about 100m in the air. Tried relogging, but now there were 6 again, and they were all illegal salvage. Another relog and they were 6 levitating, illegal pods.
Honestly, this sort of thing is just a tad immersion breaking. Left the illegal ones alone, I'm not kitted out for smuggling. Those guys will have to stay in hibernation until whoever is meant to collect them arrives. I still have the first 4 in my hold, and they're happy to be rescued.
Anyway, I... am not a slaver, so I handed them in to S&R instead of... someone who might be interested in occupied pods.

Side note; can I just say how obnoxious it is to be told that a mission timer keeps ticking while you're offline? Really? Was that really necessary, FDev?

Hence my previous comment about the Composition scanner. It can help (a little) to locate those flat bacteria patches. But mostly you just have to fly low and slow and use the camera and Mark I Eyeballs to find them. They can be quite difficult on some planets. On a couple I've given up, but usually I persevere
where wally.
