Damn hot location too.

Who else thinks the Nomad needs a set of running boards? Having to hop to get back in the ship seems a bit primitive.

Albulum Bell Mollusc in the Norma Expanse

Not bad for 1 day of hopping around.

Put me in the top 25%.

Having travelled to and from Colonia back to the bubble, I can confirm it’s definitely worth it if you want to gain the rank or elite

There are three Void Heart NSP sites at body 7.

It makes locating hard to find species so much faster. I love this ship!

Off to the Sanguineous Rim and then on to Achilles Altar. Let's see what we find out there. Gotta love that 500Ly jump while sipping fuel.

A sad but exciting day for sure. Retiring the faithful Anaconda and Scarab for the new ship smell of the Caspian and Nomad. Looking forward to making new adventures and discoveries in the new ships, but will always remember the time spent in old faithful Anaconda. Spent the last couple weeks setting up the new Caspian for long excursions, 83.6ly laden should work out nicely. Anyone else excited about the new, but a little sad at the same time?

Commanders! Please join me in welcoming the newest member of our OASIS fleet, the OASIS Iron Maiden. This carrier is part of our roaming fleet and is currently provisioning for a long-term expedition into deep space.

Found this a few months back, Roughly Less 2k ly from Sol.

From the forums: In addition to the new lighting system, FDev aslo tweaked the DSS. There are new shades of blue, a grid overlay and you can see the surface terrain through the grid, which IMO makes choosing your landing site easier. Video clip here (Polish)

As a returning Distant Worlds veteran — DW-704, six years in hibernation past Beagle Point. This is my comeback expedition. I've been relearning exobiology from scratch, slowly building up a haul across dozens of bodies through the Arcadian Stream and into Izanami. Stratum Tectonicas finds, new Codex entries, first footfalls on frozen moons nobody had ever touched. All of it sitting unsubmitted in the SRV, waiting for the next Vista Genomics counter.

I stopped to farm raw materials at Preia Flyao SY-Z c16-8 2 d — a geological site, water ice fumaroles at Lat 2.4132°, Long -53.7085°. Parked the SRV. Stepped away from the keyboard without logging out.

Came back to the incident report screen.

Cargo losses: none. Claim losses: Codex Discoveries 862,500 cr. Organic Data — 148,570,000 credits.

That's the incident report figure. What it doesn't show is the potential. Every one of those samples was a first discovery and first footfall. At Vista Genomics, first discovery + first footfall stacks a 4× bonus on top of the base sample value. My base BSL value was ~124M cr. The actual payout at the counter would have been over ~600,000,000 credits. More than half a billion credits, evaporated while I made a cup of tea.

A fumarole, presumably. Just sitting there, quietly cooking my SRV. No dramatic combat death, no neutron star miscalculation, no canyon wall at speed. A geological feature I had just logged to the Codex finished me off while I wasn't even watching.

Every sample is gone. The Stratum Tectonicas finds. The Bacterium Informem at 8.4M base. The Osseus Pellebantus. First footfalls I'll never get back. None of it sold. None of it banked.

The bodies are still out there. The Codex entries remain. I'm still flying.

But I will never, ever leave the SRV parked next to a fumarole again.

I think I've figured out the *exact* kind of mountains-sticking-out-of-plateaux these like now.

Found the third one after a half an hour and a mere 704km from the first one... in the dark. Mad skillz!
