As to 'not salty'... Well, the OP seems to have missed the mark on that one. The entire post was just a touch shy of comparison to an pressure delivered cheese food stuff that comes out of an aerosol can.

I can only offer a cracker to those who managed to read the whole thing. How about a Trisket rather than a saltine?

I swear, whenever I see somebody post "I'm not getting that issue" without, at least, attempting to discuss WHY they're not having the same problem, it makes me want to climb through the internet and do bad things to the poster. :mad:

A little over-the-top. The majority of these are reported as some variation of "Blah blah blah happened, is blah blah now bugged". That invites those not experiencing the issue to chime in and report that it's not bugged to them. Even if you are flat stating that GalMap is bugged, it's valid information to know if it's reproducible to everyone by doing certain things or if it's something that impacts a few in a small group. Still sucks to be in that group.

As far as not suggesting what you've already tried... anyone that has even tangential exposure to IT and troubleshooting with the public knows the folly in assuming the monitor is powered on when user reports a video card is not working. That was yesterday.

I want to like Triscuits. I really do. All that fiber. There's just something about the texture. They always seem go down rough.

Or were you talking about "trisket", the tri-tip roast? Because that stuff is amazing.

@Good Whiskey ...
Bravo sir! You just made my "Best of Forum" thread (or you will do as soon as I can get to my computer).

I'm glad you like it, Alec. It's a product of pure love. And sleeplessness.

Ok so the unpredictable pricing is "by design"? I tried to dip my toes into trading the other night, and thought I had spotted an opportunity for selling some machinery in another system. But when I arrived 5 minutes later, the whole thing was a loss. I spend like an hour trying to get rid of my cargo at profit, but wasn't possible. I have given up on trading as fast as I tried to learn it.

Ive had that, you learn to stay away from specific commodities without a backup market or like you say you get stuck with some random stuff. Don't give up, try a bit further out in the bubble, less traffic. Look for certain states and sytstems. Industrial in boom near Agri in Outbreak is good, Basic Meds one way, Mineral Oil the other if youre lucky or just beer, theres always beer....and tea :) Found one the other day was making 4K per ton on the meds and 1K per ton on the Oil back, both stations less than 100ls away from main star. Nearby was a Military base buying Military Fabrics for 11K per ton profit but that was 180Kls so only did that run twice. Prices held for over 2 days. OK its not mining but the routes are there. Otherwise just buy cheapest regular good at best below Galactic Average then even if the target station has filled up you can still get rid of it easily such as Food, Beer, Meds, performance enhancers, lots of minerals eg Platinum, Beryllium.

I rarely fly empty and look to make min 500 preferably 1K+ per ton against Galactic Average then can usually get more or can sell below average just to get rid of the stuff and still make a small profit even if just to make room for a better trade.

Market on RHS has 2-3 systems/stations buying and selling the commodity so you can have a backup. Go to sell market if not showing your commodity.

OK I now forgive all the 'stupid' questions I have ever suffered from I.T. Now I understand.

Alec's best of the forum (and elsewhere) [v2]

(banner image courtesy of Qohen Leth) So quite often I find myself wanting to recommend a bunch of forum threads to other players and rather than having to dig around each time I thought I'd start a thread that attempts to pull all the good (IMHO) stuff together in one place. I'm going to try...

Now that's unhealthy and dangerous approach as you agree in advance with mediocrity.

FDEVs do not get negative feedback, they think all is ok.

doesn't really apply here. it can be a good stance in your personal life (with careful gauging of the meaning of 'mediocrity'), but frontier's actions are way out of your control. for all intents and purposes it's like trying to influence weather. you do not try to change weather, you get yourself a cape.

you are very right though in that frontier doesn't get negative feedback. all the noise here is just that: noise. it doesn't reach the bigshots anyway, seemingly including braben. they live in their own bubble and as far as they are concerned (that means yearly financial reports) everything is going fine or even spectacularly well. when braben speaks of elite (or did speak of elite) and we got the impression that he's talking about a wholly different game, that's not (just) faking optimism or wishful thinking, it's that as far as he is concerned and to the extent this matters to him, everything is perfect. even a blunder like september isn't a big deal in itself except by the mere possibility that the shop was involved and that did (or could) hit the money churning machine, hence 'rationalization' delay. not impressed, give me my cape back, thanks. if it had really struck a chord we would have seen a different response.

morale: if you don't want to get wet just get your cape.

Maybe its all the noise about nothing that made them stop listening.
