There are now options to enable/disable acceleration and deadzone. Fps mode is still clunky, but much better now.

I've spent the last few days in Elite ranking up in the Federal Navy and figured out a few things. After the first handful of ranks you start getting system permit missions telling you to go to a new system for the next missions. So far the bulletin board has spat out permit for Beta Hydri, Vega, Hors, and a couple others- one per rank. The next mission comes out of a common pool (fetch, deliver, assasinate) and gets offered in any Federation aligned station in the latest unlocked system. I suspect (but not sure yet) that there is a cooldown between rank missions around the time you hit Ensign, and it looks to be about 24 hours. During the cooldown time no progression mission is offered but the last system permit mission continues to be offered, but unavailable since it's already complete. Hit Lt. Commander last night and noted the time- going to check again tonight to confirm the cooldown period.

Working from the Lave cluster of rares, I went through elimination process and found another group of clustered (a bit more loosely though) rares at a convenient 140-150 ly distance. Theoretically you could go back and forth between them with something with 50-70 cargo space and make some good profit, I will try this once I buy my cobra tonight. The Leathery Eggs are like 23k each though, something to keep in mind

S.T.A.L.K.E.R studio re-opens, plans new project

Three years after shutting down, GSC Game World, the studio behind the excellent S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, is back in action. The guys at GamesIndustry.biz have scored an interview with GSC's Valentine Yeltyshev, who helped shed light on what happened three years ago—and on what GSC is up to now.

Speaking about the canceled S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 project, Yeltyshev told GamesIndustry.biz, "Actually, STALKER 2 was in the middle of development, but we started to realise that we weren't ready to complete the game at the level of quality that we thought it should be. That was connected to a lack of specific people in the team."

By that point, some of the GSC folks had already left for 4A Games, which released the acclaimed Metro 2033 in 2010. Following GSC's demise, other team members went on to form West Games and Vostok Games, the latter of which is now developing a post-apocalyptic MMOFPS called Survivarium.

Yeltyshev says GSC still has a "solid team" and doesn't plan to hire any of those people back, at least for now. Also, while GSC still has the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 assets on hand, it's apparently got its sights set on another project:

[GamesIndustry.biz:] You've got a new, unannounced game in the works. The market is very different to what it was four years ago, have you been tempted to change with it and try free-to-play or mobile development?

[Yeltyshev:] "We're pretty sure about our fans. The market we're in is quite old fashioned, they're not 16 year olds, they're 25-40 years old. We don't think free-to-play is the right model for the game we want to make. So we're making an old-fashioned, full price game, we think our audience will be happy about that. We're expecting a lot of our old audience!"

Sounds nice. Too bad we don't know more. GSC has a new website up, so I expect details about the new project will start to trickle out there eventually. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.

Is selling the data worth more if you scan all the stars and planets individually too? Or is it just based off how many bodies your scanner detects?

You get good cash for places that can be exploited for materials, and lots of cash for habitable planets (check G type stars). Save up for an advanced scanner since the other ones are garbage, and get a detailed surface scanner if you want to get more than peanuts out of selling scans.

Also even with the best scanner you still need to be able to read parallax well enough to spot some of the further out poo poo. There's some tricks like getting off the orbital plane and just plain looking for poo poo that looks brighter than the backdrop. Also patience.

Advanced scanner will grab an entire system, even pesky poo poo a few hundred thousand ls out. I haven't used parallax since I got it.

I thought it had a limited range. Like, 1kLS. If it's unlimited I'm picking one up, if not it's not my first priority since parallax is easy enough if you're not blind.

EBB

Advanced has unlimited range. Parallax is useless for the really far stuff. First black hole system I went to stumped me because you can't find black on black and the companion star was way the gently caress out there. Don't bother going on long expeditions without an advanced scanner + detailed surface scanner.

E: If I recall correctly, basic has a 100 ls range and intermediate has 400 ls. So like I said, they're garbage.

I haven't been. I actually started over the other day because I didn't want to fly the freagle to Barnard's Loop. I need to build up some decent scratch in a hauler first and outfit a ship that's a bit more suited to long expeditions. And I needed a better fuel scoop.

Also I've never had a problem spotting stuff out at as far as 130kLS so... I wouldn't say parallax is useless, just not the easiest thing in the world. I suppose I could just be supremely lucky.

How much does the advanced scanner typically cost? I didn't and probably won't farm rares because I'm too lazy for that poo poo, so if you tell me that it's over a million creds I'm gonna tell you that I don't give a poo poo and I'll keep using my rinky-dink 400LS one because I'm not really minmaxing this game, just intragalactic sightseeing.
