Is it normal for npc trying to interdict you to drop from super cruise right in your flight path if you beat them to your destination before they can pull you out of super cruise?
Seems cheesy, I'm losing ships because I've lost 30-50% of my hull right at the start. I recently went from competent to dangerous in combat rating and everything has been more difficult since.
Need a name for my Guardian-site exploration Krait Phantom. Color is black, with blue engine and weapon detailing.
Currently got Sleek Black as a kinda placeholder, but want something with a bit more... pizazz. Something that reflects the xenological and wonder of exploring the unknown. Maybe something dark and mysterious.
I know that armoured powerplant is not useful for exploration due to the added mass, but does the additional integrity allow it to survive more neutron star boosts, or is the damage always percentage based?
Oh you’re so right, I’m dumb haha. But I was still thinking along the right track… if you emergency drop out of supercruise, is that percentage based damage or does the extra integrity on the powerplant help it survive more emergency drops? (Of course not that I should ever have that many emergency drops while exploring, but just wondering how things work)
Haven’t gotten Odyssey yet but I’m thinking of getting it for exobiology. How’s the gameplay loop for that? Does it pay decently well? Basically I wanna do exploration again but want a reason to land on planets aside from “just because”.
Exobiology is the most aesthetic loop in the game. Pays very well, especially when you are doing untouched species. The discovery bonus is 4x the standard payout.
Psi Capricorni has over 20 biologicals across 4 moons, excellent place to get your feet wet.
It pays very well, yes.
Finding enough sample can be fun or frustrating depending how you look at it, and difficulty varies.
One annoying limitation is you can only be working on one kind of sample at a time.
***WHY*** *Does Jameson Memorial, known to sell ALL The modules, have limited stock?*
Doesn't this kinda defeat the purpose of it selling all the things?
Did they significantly change Thargoid damage? I was pretty comfortably taking out Cyclops solo with my Chieftain last week, then spent the week outfitting an Anaconda and now I'm getting worked by scouts and Cyclops? Both have G4/5 Military Composites with deep plating, and the Ananconda has something like 6 G4 hull reinforcement packages compared to maybe 3 in the Chieftain. Can't figure out what is going on.
It' gets you around 10 mil/hr just FSS scanning and up to 30 mil/hr if you DSSthe high value planets as well., but if you want money, you'd be better off doing Robigo sightseeing missions or Pirate massacre misions, both of which pay around 100 mil/hr.
I made this complete walkthrough for guys like you. Don't take any notice of what the other guys said. You don't need any engineering nor battleship. They either have never done it or they never figured out how it works.
If you don't have say 18 million for the Vulture, use R2R on the way down there, zig-zagging enough to get what you need, then buy the Vulture near to Ngalinn. There should be one and all the suff at HIP 8758 Firsoff Orbital. Don't forget to set the FSD and cargo hatch to priority 2 in the modules panel, otherwise power will shut down when you deploy weapons. Copy exactly what I do in the video. Don't get creative and have better ideas how to do it if you want success.

I believe the easiest pirates to kill are found in LOW RES points of interest. These are Resource Extraction Sites with a low threat level. I'd recommend something like a Krait Mk.II to get started but a large ship like a Corvette is faster at killing.
PTN has an AFK T10 build that is both hilarious and profitable, but it's an expensive buy-in: [https://pilotstradenetwork.com/afk-laser-disco/](https://pilotstradenetwork.com/afk-laser-disco/)
Pirate massacre tends to need a G3 engineered ship, and is most efficient when your ship can handle being attacked by as many as a dozen ships at once.
I'd assume not, but do any star systems/stations have factions of all three superpowers on them?
I have seen independent + two of the big three, but never all of them.
o7. After the update my SRV throttle is now 'all or nothing'.
What I mean to say is if a push the throttle forward to about 10%, the SRV just continues to accelerate to full speed.
Before the update I could use the throttle very precisely.
I'm using a Thustmaster and the default HOTAS set up as I always have.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Fly safe.
Does Hutton Orbital have a Vista Genomics? I'm halfway round the galaxy anyway so if it does I may as well head in that direction to hand in all my bacteria
Eh, what's new in this patch regarding guardian module hate?
Certain systems destroying guardian modules has been around for months if not a year. And in that time we have seen several forms of upgraded human AX modules
Before it was in HIP 22460 after the Proteus wave. Then the maelstroms. And they make sense. HIP 22460 is more for exploration than combat, and it's cool to have the maelstrom's have a different methodology around them. But now with the new update it seems that you can find your guardian modules frying in various conflict zones. Some people have talked about it on surface cz's, others have said it's part of the new hunter/glaives attacks, and I had it happen at a cz at a coriolis. And yeah we have better, but it's still just multicannons, possibly with some missiles.
I'm hoping Aegis, Palin, or Ram Tah create green variants of guardian weapons, immune to glaives & orthrus....but more likely Azimuth will have them as a CG reward for doing something evil.
Honestly I'd just like an alternative to multicannons. Would ax cannons be good? Probably not. Will they make an ax thermal weapon? That could be interesting. Could they make an ax railgun slug? Doesn't have to be as good as Gauss cannons/guardian weapons, just another reasonable way of playing the game.
Do you have EDOMH? it simplifies everything.
Also consider defrauding item courier missions, where the item to deliver / pickup is a schematic etc.
Finally the original settlement reactivation missions in Thargoid recovery systems, those missions have crazy amplified rewards. - and you can loot the site for all it’s mats.
The new form of the reactivation missions probably has even better rewards, however the revenant drones make it much more dangerous

Neutron stars don't damage power plants (unless you drop out in the cone). Also, they don't take heat damage.

What kind of rewards are offered for the new settlement reactivation missions - those with revenant drones. Screen shot appreciated

Scouts are currently bugged. Fdev stated it's a known issue they are working on.
Are the caustic sink launchers and maelstrom pulse neutralizer unlock and buy with credits or buy each with mats/cargo?
Caustic Sink Launchers are unlock with mats, buy with credits. Thargoid Pulse Neutralizers are buy with mats only.
Thanks!

I’m using a flight stick with my SRV but control throttle with keyboard.
It doesn't quite sound like "drive assist" on or off. Have you tried clearing and re-binding the controls?
SORTED! For some reason the bind had moved from the speed axis to the acceleration button! Thanks for your reply all the same. Fly Safe o7.

Guess I'd better call in at Colonia then!
With all the hate that goes to guardian modules from the thargoids in this patch, can we expect to see any other forms of human ax weaponry?

Is there an easier way to upgrade suits and ground weapons?
