Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Osseus Discus.

Professor Palin is quite useful, getting your thrusters up to level 5.
Chloe Sedesi offers the same upgrades, i have unlocked her, but have yet to visit her.
You may need to revisit engineers to get the experimental effects.
Oh yeah, I forgot about potential revisits for experimental effects. Inara says they're both exactly the same but Palin is the logical choice really.
Didn't scan the last one, yet, as it took me three attempts to get down to the surface without a CTD - a sign that I should take a break.
CTD?
As for me about pedestrian gear, I tried mixing laser and kinetic in the beginning, until I had a Tormentor G3 out of curiosity. Now this one is my favorite, and once you give it both silencers, you can do every stealth/assassination missions with only the Torm and your normal flight suit, really.
I've also found the swapping between weapons to be a little clumsy compared to something like Hunt Showdown. Sometimes I'll mousewheel and get the same weapon. It made me go with plasma based weapons rather than thermal and kenetic. That way I'm not standing there screwing around while someone's blasting me.

I've barely experimented though. Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong.
Depending on which base that was it could have been built by a CG I took part in back when the T9 hadn’t been buffed and there were no Guardian modules, long hauls from Maia and adjacent systems. Hard work and probably when I got my first first discoveries.


50k would be a reward for you finding your first example in the Codex and can also be gained by scanning from ship and SRV using the built in scanners. You will get the reward for taking the samples when you sell them at a Vista Genomics store in a base or Fleet Carrier you will potentially get an additional bonus of four times the reward.

Bacterium are generally worth 1,000.000 credits though there are some varieties that are worth more.
I didn't even realise I could scan from the SRV. >8[ Though I ended up doing what you suggested when we were talking about high temps. I just landed the ship, got out and scanned, then flew off looking for more.

And thanks. I'm not sure how you went from 50k to one million though.
 
Is that the Brave Sir Robin mod?
I've heard someone calling it by that name, but that isn't entirely right.
I think that depends on which way round you install it.
The original mod was called the speedster mod, increasing your run speed to a level that it would look like you were at several places at once.
But one day, someone installed it the "wrong" way round and found themselves advancing backwards at breakneck speeds...

Those pesky rocks keep jumping in front of me. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, had something similar happen recently, too.
They break through the top layer of the ground when you are close. Which explains their shape.
I have been lucky so far that it only happened to me when I was driving slowly and was able to stop before crashing into them.
I don't want to think about what would happen if you scoot across one of those at high speeds on a low gravity world...

I meant to say the asteroid base was the Darwin Research Facilty but I was replying to so many things, I forgot. 8-o

The California Nebula's not far from the bubble but it still only has a small string of inhabited systems running through it. It made things easier to plot at least. There seemed to be a lot of Thargoid activity as I headed through this area for the sensor fragments so I tried to be careful.

Crash To Desktop. The game stops working and next thing you see is your desktop waving at you awkwardly...
And thanks. I'm not sure how you went from 50k to one million though.
That million comes from Vista Genomics, found in the concourse of larger stations and some assorted fleet carriers.
The 50k you find mentioned in your left panel are just a little bonus for finding the bio on that planet.

Oh nice. I better not get myself melted again.

And yeah, I've been getting that crash thing too. Not often, but enough.

I thought you were having trouble landing without a module or something.
 
My travel map looks rather unadventurous compared:

You've not "finished" the game until you've been to Salome's Reach beyond Beagle Point, into the Abyss for Far Oasis, Hidden Abyssinial Treasures and of course Sag A* 🤣

The west, south and it seems easterly most points are not anything to write home about by comparison. There are some great places to see on the way "south" before you hit the dead zone between spiral arms though.

I take it that you noticed what kind of rock that was? I spent several minutes trying to balance my SRV on top (cool photo op), but they were both uncooperative.
