Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

....a third kinetic type weapon on top ...
I have a plan, the third weapon will be a
Shock Cannon
Gimballed, Class 3
28 Vanadium
24 Tungsten
24 Rhenium
22 Technetium
12 Power Transfer Bus
from these loactions
2, 3 C, D Chemaluk Virts Dock Fixed, Gimbal, Turret Various
2, 3 B, C, D Ceos Babbage Gateway Fixed, Gimbal, Turret Various

Got most of the mats and a short shopping trip will sort out the rest......
So, a krait mk2 with top beams and shock cannon, lower pulse lasers ( or more shock cannons???) hummm....
Pretty much locking into combat ranking, trying not to be distracted by transport, sold the imperial cutter Pythhikkus. might need rebuy money:cry:
 
I tried mats gathering as per Exegious screenshot, but it appears as if this no longer works. At Diaguandri, indep./civil unrest. scanned NavB. got HGE, went there, collected, re logged, FSD, no signal source there. Sent him a note via twitter.

?
Relogging doesn't work any more.
Quit to desktop might still work, but I've never used it.
No no, relogging works of course, exit, go back to main screen, load game again, you spawn back into normal space where you left. But the Tutorial claims that when you boost back into SC signal source will appear next to you, likely behind, but no signal source appears. Tried it twice.

I'm confused.
You could relog, and the HGE would still appear in supercruise. This was removed pretty quickly by FDev.

You could quit directly to desktop, reboot game etc, and HGE would still be there.
 
All right... found this here under the video, guess that means on xbox you have to quit the game entirely adding substantial load time. I only got two collected, hence 6 improvised components, then the clock is ticking, whch makes it even less attractive.

NOTE on High Grade Emission Method: As I've had to clarify this a number of times you do not just exit to main menu, you must EXIT TO DESKTOP. If you just exit to main menu the HGE won't respawn, if you exit to desktop it will. I also opened a ticket with support to confirm that it is not a violation of the ToS, etc. to exit the game and restart to get materials to respawn and they confirmed it is not. So if you're worried this is an exploit according to those that make the rules you're good to go. Also remember that signal sources have a timer on them and if that expires while you're out of game (as time keeps on tickin', tickin', tickin') then it won't be there when you get back into supercruise.

TBH that exploit was needed because HGE were not spawning very much, but I think FDev fixed things so that HGE spawn more regularly. I've been finding at least 2 or 3 HGE every time I jump into a high population system. The Imperial systems consistently have HGE with Imperial Shielding (G5 mat) that fills up that bin pretty fast. These can be traded for everything else you will need.

I think it's faster now just to scan for HGE and go to them as you jump to a system.
 
I had a hilarious incident today, out at Cinder Dock (Chloe Sedisi's base). I had gone out to get some scan data for Chloe, so that she'd grant me access to higher level upgrades, and when I got back I decided I wanted to drive the SRV around her base a bit, just to take in the sights.

Her base is quite large and full of interesting looking buildings and roadways.

So I deployed the SRV, expecting to be lowered down into the garage below my ship, as usual. Instead, I was launched 3km into the sky, where I began to fall rapidly!

Through sheer luck I managed to apply enough thrusters at the right time to avoid being destroyed on impact. Wow, never had that happen before. What a rush :)

Driving around inside the base was very cool. The colors in the sky made it very beautiful, I thought.

I'm gonna transfer the Krait out here and stay a bit, I think. It's an interesting area.

What the?
So much I don't understand these days. :D

Edit: I had to go look at it. I think it's following youtubers around with a big stick and a cheque book. :ROFLMAO:
