Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

Rabbid has a new ride, handles very nicely. Can still pick up mats with it.

Bought the new SRV. Was dark. Took pic anyway.

Feels heavier and solid when driving. Firepower is impressive. Missiles are cool. It has no wavescanner, but it does have a Comp scanner. Cargo capacity is 2. I didn't see any rocks to shoot, so I don't know if it can gather mats at all.
Can confirm mat gathering, after the weapons test on a nearby rock..:cool: :D
 
All my fire groups are wiped, in every ship. Not nice, especially for the mining ships that had complex setups. Sigh. How could they miss that!
They give you no keybind reset switch between EDH & EDO, so there must be a tradeoff lol 🤭
Someone noticed that the "Utility" list in Fire Groups has had the order changed. This "could" be why they were reset... Wouldn't want someone clicking their buttons and firing the wrong things...LOL
 
On the plus side, I'm getting a solid 60 FPS in the concourse now, no matter where I look. And the anti-aliasing there seems a bit smoother.

I haven't hit up any settlements yet.
Wanted to quickly land at an Ody settlment before I had to leave for work this morning, after the patch dropped. The system I'm in has no Ody settlements, only Horizons settlements and planetary ports... :(

The reason I'm in that system is that one of the Class 1 GGs has 5 atmo moons...still one left to map and sample the biologicals...

EDIT: it seems that a bug has been found where the genetic sampler is not working. I guess I'm glad that I'm at work now and not trying to play...

At last, my new monitor is in situ. Just running through some tinkerage but 3,840 x 2,160 in ED is... quite something to behold so far. It was nice - for a complete change - to have a piece of kit work straight out of the box. Mrs. Tyres is impressed the screen isn't overwhelmingly huge.

Off to see what planets look like in all their 32" gloriousness.

Had to relog to get to be able to select SRV fire groups. All had been wiped as @Codger said but I couldn't cursor away from fire group B in the scarab. Not sure if that will help anyone but it works now.

ETA 2
Steady 60FPS planetside so far.

Ok, I did a Restore Power mission to test things out.

My FPS was great throughout the settlement -- no slowdowns or stutters.

Buildings that are on fire now have a red warning flashing light on them -- makes it easier to figure out which buildings you need to extinguish at. There's also a "fire detected" warning voice when you are in the building.

There were more scavs than it said there would be. I was supposed to kill 9, but there were 18 or so of them. Only 9 counted when I killed them. I was able to complete the mission.

When I was inside a building, for the first time ever scavs came inside to get me. It was a zero-level access HAB, so they waltzed right in and started shooting. I had my shield down, not expecting it! I reacted fast enough not to die. This is a good change though, I think. It never made sense that they would not enter a building if they had access.

Bottom line, everything worked correctly for this mission and framerate was solid. :)
 
Looks like my new broadband got switched on early. Noticed my wifi had three solid arcs so I ran a speed test. 350mbits/sec if you don't mind. Not the 500 I was looking for but hey...

Anyway, just bought a Scorpion. Then I'm visiting all the stations in this system in case there's some engineered goodies to be had and then, I'm off to do some flower arranging and painting scenary. Or photgraphing it.
 
Just to make up for non-posting over the past few weeks, I now find I have postal-diarrhea...

The Scorpion is pretty good. I feel like I'm driving this (including the roof turret - not sure of the actual weapon but suspect an RE700 gatling cannon).

However, when I look at it, it reminds me of this (for no apparent reason):

Yes, I bought the black paint job!
 
The stream today was pretty decent. Got some info on the current bugs. Got a sneak peek at carrier interiors. Arf and Zac took the Scorpion to a CZ. Not too shabby.

Ooooh! How did the FC interiors look? I imagined being very much like concourses but I'm hoping to be totally wrong...

EDIT: I see the un-catalogueable flora bug is still present :(
