Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:I'm picking Door #3, Wayne! Well, there are alien ruins around, so something got wiped out... In other news, the server-side fix today is also fixing neutron stars! Neutron star boosting is back in business! Also ha ha, the Frontier dev remarked casually in a later post that they never touched the expedition-type passenger missions. It's just the RNG creating extremes on both ends! (Extremely low and extremely high payouts.) Now that was a storm in a water glass.

I finally got my LVL5 clearance from egghead Palin. As I am busy transferring my armada (courtesy of several megatons of poop hauled) to 64 Arietis to reduce the distance to 176 ly I'd like to have your input on a few ships: My trusty "jack-of-all-trades" Python often sees combat, but is also used for mining, trading between outposts or strolling around. Same goes for a Battleconda. CD or DD? Does the latter profit much from DD5 when turning? The FdL is equippeed with whatever weapon I want to try out. For moneymaking it's usually lasers. But I also like to throw in a fail rail guns or plasma throwers. Will DD5 cook me? Or will I always regret not having given my baby all the spacehorse power it craves? And finally I have an Imperial Cutter I am using for trading ATM as I can't afford any combat upgrades and am running on an lvl 1 overcharged PP. I already installed 8A drives as I like to leave gravity wells with a DON. Will DD5 cripple my heat management? I do kinda run hot when scooping.

Or was that just speculation? Supposed lore IIRC. Frontier has also come out and said, again IIRC, that it's not Thargoids we'll be getting as aliens. Just that there will be aliens in the game eventually.

In Lave there actually is a Thargoid tourist beacon. So, there's that. Also, is there a filter on the galaxy chart to search for heavily trafficked systems so I can get my wake scans for FSD range 5?

Hit up literally any station or nav beacon and scan away. Takes like 15-30 minutes to rack up a decent amount of those last time I did it.

I want to say there's something more to it than just RNG. I spent an absurd amount of time at a high pop station scanning wakes and only got a few of the right thing. Then on recommendation from a random brown sea post I popped over to Jameson Memorial in the founder's system and was immediately getting as many datamined wake exceptions as I could handle. Not only was the amount of traffic higher, but the drop rate was clearly different.

They'll make aliens the SOP for all support calls and replace customer service with a bot. “Hi, my ship exploded for no reason.” “Aliens.” “Hey, my modules vanished.” “Aliens.” “So, why can't I access the mission board?” “Aliens.” “Uhm, this makes no sense but when I logged in…” “Aliens.”

I'd be okay with that and while its fanbase is probably a bunch of spergs, I have a hard time imagining that they're a bunch of spergs who literally hate fun.
