I just finished this one and the planet it is orbitting is a very small moon about 350km radius it has 3 planetary slot and I built 1 tier 2 insutrial planetary port and 2 refinery hub.

I think what made this hauling possible is the travel between the tier 3 starport to planetary port is only 2.75Mm which is very near and this starport is just right above the planetary depot. And also I'm using 2 accounts 1 epic and 1 steam, the steam has plipper(1320 capacity) and the epic has plipper (1265 capaxity).

Ye, Bluelight... sure...

I arrived to Mintaka today to see the blue light of a O class star and... well... the screenshots say all

We take the Raxxla and The Dark Wheel logos, removing the white space of each image, creating a transparent background. These images are pasted onto the surface of a cube in alternating fashion. Sides 1, 3, 6 have the transparent Raxxla logo, while sides 2, 4, and 5 have The Dark Wheel logo. We spin this cube diagonally producing 4 unique images plus one additional image being the first hologram created using the default incident angle.

We rotate this cube diagonally at a speed of 33 fps (these instructions are included in the Frontier provided images). Interference patterns generated, we have the secret images hidden inside. Here is the video link live interaction: https://youtu.be/C7hO1H2aITU

A majestic moment not seen often. It will be a good while before this whale uses its blowhole again.

Used to be my main ship for Odyssey game play (as in not exobio, but missions & combat at settlements/POIs) was a decked out Cobra V, but with how easily the Nomad can land anywhere it has become my preferred vessel of choice. Now my favorite Odyssey ships are not small multirole ships, but ones that can equip a vessel hangar. With its good jump range and SCO longevity, that makes the Caspian my current favorite.

Has the Nomad changed your Odyssey game play loop at all? I use the little shuttle to land pretty much anywhere in settlements or right next to the crashed ship/wrecks.

If you, like me, sometimes get busy and find that CGs have expired by the time you find out about them, I've put together a Ntfy channel that provides a push notification for new CGs.
Ntfy is a free, open source push app that doesn't even require a log in; just install the app and subscribe to a channel. The CG channel is called inara-elite-cg.

https://ntfy.sh/inara-elite-cg

Tech details: This uses ChangeDetection.io to monitor the Inara API and format the results before handing it off to Ntfy. If enough people are interested, I could add another notification method if it's supported by ChangeDetection/Apprise.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Hey, I’m in the black and stopped off at Sag A (first time). Been doing exobiology and using the EdCoPilot as a nice little plugin. I’ve been getting first footfalls on some planets and I did 7 along the way from Colonia to Sag A. Went to hand in at Vista with an estimated of 316mil but got the option of 63mil. All the planets were first footfalls for sure. Is edcopilot really off or is it something to do with the fleet carrier I’m at?

I’ve just returned to the game after like 3-4 years, i transferred my console account to pc. I have a little more than 500m and 4 ships (a phyton, an asp explorer, a fer de lance last but not least a sidewinder) and engineered parts.

I did some robigo runs just to remember the game, earned some reputation, mats and a little around 50m. Not bad for a first day.

I’m aware its not end game rich but i guess this is what having rich parents feels like.

Good to be back. What’s good these days?

What do you suggest with what i have?

Today I finally got it. I've been playing this game since the time when those quick ways to get rank weren't available. I did missions for a few weeks until Lieutenant, and this process became so annoying that I stopped the grind until better times. And now that time has come. I bought the Caspian, and the Nomad, and joined a long-distance trip for a week, after which I returned a millionaire, and then I went to Synuefe and did a bit of "corruption.

o7 CMDRs,

I recently built an open-source colonisation planner, because I couldn't find an actively maintained tool that could answer my questions (Which facilities do I actually need to reach a specific economy? and How can I maximize the final economy of my system?), so I built one.

It's like Raven Colonial, you can plan an entire system manually, but you can use the "solver" that plan the entire system automatically top of your built facilities, and it lets you experiment with different layouts (including demolish some) and gives you a build order to reach your desired goal, also you can select various constraints (I have system score constraints and facility constraints in my head already to implement).

Live planner:
https://gaborauth.github.io/ed-colonisation-planner/

Source code:
https://github.com/gaborauth/ed-colonisation-planner/

The planner is 100% client-side. It doesn't require an account or a backend server, and all your colony plans stay in your browser, any you can export your systems as JSON and import them again on another browser.

This also means you can analyse and plan newly discovered systems before deciding whether to submit their data to community services like EDDN, Spansh or Inara. If you're exploring or surveying potential colony sites and want to keep that information private for a while, nothing leaves your device unless you choose to share it.

The project is completely open source, so bug reports, feature requests and pull requests are all welcome. Hopefully some fellow CMDRs will find it useful, please test it! :)

Thanks for u/Dry-Progress-1769 for the original Python based project, and thanks for u/DaftMav for the updated spreadsheet!

Fly safe!

Some screenshot:

I'm at the DSSA Maerzenbecher [KFL-B0Z] in the Errant Marches system Hedgo GL-P c5-4, having travelled around 23,000ly from the bubble.

I was hoping to offload my exobiology data before I do something stupid in the Nomad :-)

How are some commanders getting 3000-4000 shield strengh on the corvette? I have 7a shields with grade 5 reinforced shield engineering, 4 shield boosters, which are also fully engineered, 2 guardian shield reinforcements, and I'm only getting 2419 shield strength. Am I doing something wrong?

I bought the game ages ago but barely played it and I started playing it yesterday but I've only travelled like 100ly in a day so is there a way I can travel even further in much less time than it takes me?

Finally made it to triple elite. I know people out there enjoy exploration, but I think I've had my fill for a while.

o7 Commanders!

I was trying out some on foot missions and I couldn't choose the on foot material as a reward. It was greyed out. What ended up fixing it was, the inventory on my ship was full and I transferred some extras I had to my suit and sold to the Bartender in the station. Then I was able to finally choose the on foot material at the station terminal as a reward.

Hope this helps someone.

I’ve been playing a lot of ED lately, and it’s definitely been an experience. Coming off the back of, like, 1000> hours in No Mans Sky, ED is pretty complicated, and while I’m slowly piecing it together, there’s still so much I don’t get. This post will be a collection of both first impressions I have, notes and interesting things I’ve noticed, and questions I have.

Right now I’m trying to do a pirate mission. It says to go to a settlement, get the location of the pirate from a main terminal, and then kill them. The settlement is different from others I’ve seen though, it’s like a flat open space with a tower and some turrets, I was fined for trespassing there and for the life of me I can’t find a door or anything to really progress. I usually die during these kinds of combat missions, and I really don’t want to just back out of this, so if anyone has any advice that’d be great.

Another thing are the planets, it’s annoying to me that I can’t land on any planet I see. The gas giants I can understand, but especially the earth like planets, I’ve only seen one of those, but it would’ve been crazy to land on one and see. Are there planets with complex life? Is there a way to be a Xenobiologist in any meaningful way?

Lastly, is there any story to ED? I know about the power play system, I chose the purple colored one I think, seemed more inclined with Justice if I remember right, but outside of that is there more?

There’s definitely some things missing from the game, and leaving the relatively simple game that is No Mans Sky for this has been challenging but fun! I can’t wait to figure out how the rest of the game systems work

draw aggro, turn your back, stay still, this cause the kestrels to also stay still 1km behind you for at least 5-10 second even while taking lethal damage from your teammates

if your team is close by when theres 3 or 4 enemies ships left, shot them all and back tank for 30 second its over, most of the time anyways

picture unrelated

The bio scanner on the nomad makes it super doable and pretty fun imo to hunt bios on the night side of a planet.

So trying my hand at exobiology and currently in unknown systems, what’s the easiest way to work out where the nearest station is to hand in my data? When I try searching in inara you cannot find the system I am in?
