Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

I am about to go out there again with a different ship that has a DSS installed to investigate the surroundings.
Hopped in the Star Moth and went out there to find this:

There is a human location on this planet, but I can not land on it to check. And it does not show up in the navigation tab of the external panel. The generation ship is in the vicinity of this planet. Could that be the human location?

Yes things like orbiting fleet carriers show up as human signals around the planet.
 
Well yeah, you gotta have ammo in order to reload. I guess that wasn’t obvious? 😜
A clear case of watching too many old westerns.

I went to my crotch panel and found this.

It's parked next to a gas giant.

What I'm wondering is everyone onboard dead, how can this be flown out of here? Why am I not effected on my ship? I hope this is a bug
In high gravity it is dangerous to get out of our acceleration chair, there is a glitch in the gravity modelling which hasn’t allowed enough reduction due to distance from the source so the check decides you can’t get out of the chair.

Perhaps when you got up to the launch position you had gone far enough away from the source that the gravity was below the check value.

Or it is a bug that is only partly fixed.
 
Yeah. They've completely screwed up mining. It goes beyond RNG. They've intentionally done something to mess it up.

Headed out to a Platinum hot spot again.

Guess what?

No platinum. Mostly just Palladium and Osmium.

So I got frustrated and went to a Painite hot spot to try my luck there.

Guess what? Go on, guess.

No Painite. Now I'm getting mostly Platinum.

I'm sorry, but when your so-called "HOT SPOTS" have none of the material in it that it's supposed to have, that's not RNG. That's either an intentional nerf or an unintentional screw-up of EPIC proportions.

And for the record, folks, this is roughly 5,500 LY away from the bubble in a system nobody but me has ever been to.
 
Now that FSS works, everything feels a lot easier, note that I have now the same settings that when it didn't work, anyway, scanning every planet L3 takes a lot of time in a 30+ planet system and up to 50% of the Krait fuel autonomy...

Thanks again guys for your advices and tips.

Post Card from the middle of nowhere (or almost nowhere). This is where the Fleet Carrier shines, park it somewhere, take the Krait, FSS, 3L scan the ystsem, roam around honking and find more systems (last 30+ planets within 50LY range) and I still have 20838 tons of tritium to burn...

Definitely not RNG. Hotspots are buggy, there’s no question. The sad part is that they used to work.
 
Oof.

Haven't been mining in a while. I'll have to check out my go-to spot once I've finished this suit. Doesn't sound good :(

I wonder what they did without having a patch? Unless it was stealth patch server side.

I know. That's what makes it so frustrating. If it had always been this way, I wouldn't care because I wouldn't know any better.

Most of the money I made in this game to date was made in one little platinum hot spot in Salikians that was mined 'round the clock by everybody and their mother.

Now, even in the deep of space in platinum hot spots nobody has ever touched I can't find any platinum. It actually all started with @thinder , remember? He kept hitting platinum hot spots with no platinum and we're all asking him 1000 questions.

I don't know if they've just messed something up or done it intentionally, but it's pretty much over for making money mining right now.
