Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[aRJay]

On the planet docking... do what the DC does at outposts: nose dive until close then flip. Does the same on FC approach.

Be aware of the gravity if you use this approach, at higher gravities you can pick up a lot of speed unintentionally unless you are using the belly thrusters to support your ship as they are the only ones the planetary approach suite boosts to compensate for gravity.

Of course if you are using Flight Assist off that doesn’t apply as the compensation is switched off, one of the ways to land gently on higher g worlds is to blip FA off which lets the ship start to fall slowly much better than thrusting down in those situations,

 

[CMDR-NOBODY]

As long as you can dodge round the T9 and Beluga that collided in the slot just as you hit boost.

Kaaaabooooom on the way

Absolutely no problems with the traffic at Jaques today.

Business as usual.

(Btw, is it Zhak's, or Jake's?)

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

System state. Does this change on the Thursday tick or can it just randomly do so? I was doing some nice restore missions while it was in civil unrest about two hours ago. Came back and it has switched to outbreak. Not notices this before.

in french it james that confused him
Jacques ( French: [ʒak] ( listen), Quebec French pronunciation : [ʒɑɔ̯k] ( listen)) is the French equivalent of James, ultimately originating from the name Jacob . Jacques is derived from the Late Latin Iacobus, from the Greek Ἰακώβος ( Septuagintal Greek Ἰακώβ ), from the Hebrew name Jacob יַעֲקֹב ‎.

I thought it was on the tick, but might not be. I haven't really paid attention.

I found this quote, which seems to be from a BGS savvy person.

"state of a system will change, usually on the dot of the 10 minute board refresh timer, if you have successfully brought the influence of that system and or state, to a sufficient point to change the simulation."

So I guess it changes when it changes.

 

[Codger]

I've been doing the CG on my Alt. I forgot how dark the Python is with its default paint. It looks like a stealth ship.

I'm trying to hit top 50%, just to ensure that I don't slip past 75% over the weekend when I can't play as much. Supplies are drying up already, making longer trips necessary. I expect the CG to complete over the weekend, there is a lot of interest.

The Colonia one will probably go longer, of course.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

I see... as well, off to another system. Those {expletive} genetic repair meds and {expletive} opinion polls are rarer than hen's teeth.

tell me about it, i went for a 836t synthetic meat contract i visited 3 different systems that said they had it, in the end i checked out inara website to find the meat. Turn out to be 4 jumps in the other direction towards khun system. Instead of the 9 jumps i previous done in a t9 thet not a nice xperience.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Oh, that's nice. A G3 Oppressor with headshot damage. I'll take that.

is that the sniper rifle, remember aim a little to the right, the gun sights are weird in ody has they seem to offset the aim to the left.

edited you be most definity missing if you aim left,instead of right

Think the Executioner is the sniper one - it says it's a "long range rifle"

use the l6 it quick and efficient :

...Tip of the week

Make sure Microsoft Teams is disabled when playing! - Hull integrity 97%

Bonus tip - don't try to repair FSD when in super cruise! - Hull integrity 96%

A few thousand LY away from Beagle Point and realise AFMU isnt automatic! - Still a N00b

Don't try repairing thruster in SC. It is not fun. Also be aware the AFMU won't repair your power plant.

Sounds like you're getting there though so kudos!

Well, cant exit at Macdonald station/settlement. Think servers are borked again. Crash when I try to exit SC and game wont lemme in. Gawdang it FDev....

Had the same issues too. Last night was terrible for coloured snakes. I stopped playing because of it.

Seeing as my preferred CG stocking point appears to have upped it's output a bit and 2 ticks could generate anywhere from 180-270 units total, I've reconfigured my python to 280t capacity. Lost the fuel scoop and surface scanner (who needs them for short shuttle runs?) and just a size 1 collector controller with 2 limpets aboard. Just in case (I get attacked again like I did just now).

Little bit scared about the 3A shield I've fitted... but still with the double booster + chaff loadout, and engineered military armour, so it would take one heck of a pirate to blow me up before I knew it was coming and boosted away. Still 6A dirty thrusters, obviously, so the average NPC can't keep up even with this cargo barge loadout

Also put a wake scanner on, because there's a lot of wakes around right now
