Gas giant? Did it have at least 8 moons? Were there any interesting signals in that system? Did the ship ID include the letters R, A, X and L?

Some kittens have claws
I think I'm going to head out into the black again.
There was that time that OD really made any GPU weep with pain - especially in the station concourse, or any detailed/complex on foot situation really… fortunately the dev team made good on their promises of optimisation… eventually ;]
Do they?Some kittens have claws
Do it! [/Palpatine impersonation]
Interesting. That must have been before my imposed switch to Odyssey.
Schrödinger's Cat is a famous thought experiment that demonstrates the idea in quantum physics that tiny particles can be in two states at once until they're observed. It asks you to imagine a cat in a box with a mechanism that might kill it. Until you look inside, the cat is both alive and dead at the same time.
But I suppose Schrodinger's cat could have been both guilty and innocent at the same time. In fact, I know that is a true statement as that's exactly how our two cats are all of the time.
So I bought the Cobra V - lovely ship. Refitted for bio-exploring, lightly engineered it with whatever was available from the shipyard engineer's shop (do all stations have engineers now? A decent QoL upgrade, I think), and headed out, 'down' and 'north-east' of Colonia.
Didn't take long to find my first undiscovered system - cue instant panic. Did I forget to buy a system scanner (the chase-the-blobby thing)? After some research (couldn't remember the name) and checking keybinds, I managed to get that up and running. Around 20 planets and moons, managed to scan about 8 of them before giving up. That scrolling around the system seems to be much more tedious than I remember and I simply couldn't find most of the targets. Is there a way to adjust the mouse movement speed, or a better way of finding targets? More reading required, but I'm sure I'll improve with practice.
Of the first 15 or so systems visited, I didn't find a single object with an atmosphere; I'm sure that's just a matter of time. Onwards and outwards!

I know about this experiment.
But I never thought of it as a cruel way to kill a supposedly guilty cat. What had it been accused to have done to entitle such a draconic punishment?
There should be some settings in the options for that.
If that doesn't work for some reason, I would suggest to get a mouse with variable speed settings. Most of these have 3 preset slots you can adjust to your liking. Changing mouse sensitivity then is only one button click away.
Do you keep your rank, if you later join a different power?
Use your FSS scanner as soon as you drop out of frame shift, if you see the main star immediately on your RADAR scope, the system has been discovered. If you don't see the star for a few seconds, it's undiscovered, honk the system with your scanner then activate it and you'll see the different planets through radio frequencies.
You'll want to map the more lucrative planets and ring systems so make sure you have that. You'll want an Artimis suit as it is the only one with the bioscanner for exobiology.
I guess he could have said it was an iguana, maybe he's not a cat person.
No. You start at 0 again.
Except the cat can't be dead and alive at the same time. It's illogical and it's wrong. It either dead or it's alive.
When I grew up and learnt stuff as a kid and a young one, i was deeply fascinated by Quantum Mechanics, and the mysteries it showed us about reality. Now I just don't buy it anymore. I always feared having no "free will", but I'm schooled in natural science, and "pretty much" anything else in this Universe/reality seems totally determined (even chaos), because that's the way stuff works. Cause and effect. If you accept that fact, a fact that you already know and accept as a part of your everyday life, then all the mysterious parts of Quantum Mechanics goes away, like tears in the rain. No, of course information doesn't travel faster that the speed of light, and of course the particles can't be in a superposition. It's only "possible" because physicists are hypnotized by their desire for freedom. Give it up. No consequences in real life, but physics and logic works again.
It's a tough one to swallow, because for a while you're gonna have to learn to accept the fact that your free will is an "illusion". That sounds horrible to most humans including myself, but that's why we don't finish the thought. We should - We would find that it does not matter if everything is determined... You still wake up in the morning choosing to get out of bed, decide which clothes to wear, what to eat, where to go, what to do, and so on. Your life continues just like it always was.
So, why are we then really afraid of loosing Free Willy? Because then we can't really judge anyone some say. I say well, hold me beer. Even in a determined reality, we still need to put murderers to jail because they pose a threat to anyone else. I admit it's all very scary to think about at first, but I promise that once you realize that everything is deterministic, including you and I, then physics becomes "dead simple" again. You'll also rather quickly start wondering why people have even bothered about all this for so long. It's in our genes. We are very competitive. We need the Ego to survive. It's an illusion, but who cares, as long as it's such a "genuine" experience.
It's all quite philosophical, but so is Erwin's cat.
Listen to Sabine. She speaks the facts

Meh, it's merely one of these.
I don;;t find many water atmos worlds with life. Thought this one was rather pretty, what with the azure Mandalay to set against the sky.
