Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Aaaaaahhhh... just watched the video @Codger posted. Interested in that ground stuff but it looks like it won't be a cake walk by any means and we'll still not see a monster 'goid in the flesh. Disappointing.

Also, there seems to be quite the emphasis on getting a "grelic" or something and pushing into the middke of a Maelstrom. At this moment in time, that whole thing just doesn't appeal - and, if I'm honest, I think I'd find it too challenging anyway.

But anyway, it looks like U15 will be pretty nifty - and I, for one, am certainly hoping there'll be a bunch of bug fixes too. Especially these dratted ground CZ's that bug out - just had another where the last enemy was AWOL. However, what was odd was that, after I'd Apex'd out (half a klick run to get one) I still made just over 10mCR o_O :D

Did you get a caustic sink yet?
A while back a created a dozen "grelics", sold 4 to Palin and 4 to Ram Tah. I kept the other 4 in case they would be useful one day. So I will have a couple going spare if you want to buy one from my carrier after I've got a new pulse neutraliser thingy for Quain and my alt account.

No. I've not even looked into it. Not really into AX stuff except for my interest in the ground related bit.

Should I get one?

Not sure they can be sold. (saw that in another thread here somewhere)

Might need to transfer in person using SRVs.
 
OK, I'm missing something... please expand * :D

* Cz I'm like, foggy-heaaded and like, not with it at the like, moment :D
An excess of blood in the alcohol stream will cause that.

Like **

** My personal pet peeve is the overuse of this word.
Excessive repetition is annoying but misuse of words is worse right up there behind forgetting the example I was going to use. Time to get a drink I suppose. The less/fewer transposition. (No I hadn’t got the drink before it come back to me.)

How do you keep track of ship engineering material requirements without Inara?
One way is go to the engineers see what is missing and either not bother upgrading for now or go hunting the missing stuff. Which does keep a lot of spontaneity in the game.

So...new mechanical Thargoid units called Revenants for on-foot combat, eh? Might be good. It's not actual on-foot Thargoids, but...it's also not humans.

It'll make doing those power-up missions more interesting, I bet :p


Aha, so something’s happening again, at last…? :]

Must admit i’ve never grinded a grelic, but i do have a few good suits… and plasma weapons ;]

*EDIT: another video with more details from OA…

I want to “like” that, but it might be inappropriate…? ;p
 
weird noise at kuk, engineers base.... it sounds like the aliens are already hear.... Errieeee.

krait mk2 , with it dedicated xeno hunter logos and old rusty skin & kit. she just completed a 22 ly jump to get here, now for the another 32 :(

If you want to get to the centre of the Maelstrom a caustic sink launcher plus materials for synthing ammo or a second caustic sink launcher is going to be essential to keep your hull from melting. And the the pulse neutraliser (whatever they are calling it) will be needed. There might be ground related stuff to do in the Maestrom - we'll see.

Yeah, it's rather a drag that it's all locked behind such a huge grind. It'll keep me from playing it.

I'm not the target audience, clearly :)
 
IMO, this is a great utility for keeping track of your engineering.


That’s the one i’ve been using for over a year now - really helps make read-at-a-glance sense of the plethora of OD mats …also, it’s non-intrusive, just reads from your game journal and hasn’t messed with my game install at all 👍 :]

I enjoyed collecting caustic tissues samples from the caustic generators enough to refit my alt accounts Clipper to do it. The class 7 universal limpet controller in a shop this fast and agile was ideal. Thrusters engineered grade 5 with drag and a low emissions power plant meant it ran well below 20% heat unless I hit boost to escape at 540m/s. It's like piracy with the added tension of your hull being under attack from caustic damage, the threat of an interceptor turning up in a space cloud with lighting. I sold 10 caustic tissue samples off the carrier in a matter of hours after that. Not very profitable, but I found it fun and it help other commanders send more time in the Maestrom.
