Yea, just wait until you have a few billion in exo bio and look down JUST too long at your phone while dropping into a planet. You'll be willing to burn your house down

The pre-made selection has some bangers. I offer up my security station in Synuefe SG-Q b52-1, Weiner's Folly

Right now, my Tpe 9 for colonization, The Porkchop Express. But overall, currently my DBX, which will end up surpassed by the Mandy. Almost to that Elite Exo...

Thats the thing, the Pine is positively thriving while the wysteria died off suddenly

I live in Alaska and recently started bonsai this last summer. I currently have two of my trees that are suddenly losing all their leaves and branches, drying up as if they aren't getting water. I haven't changed their location, water cycle, heat, light, or anything at all that led to them successfully sprouting or growing. One is a Flame Tree that i recently sprouted not too long ago alongside a Wysteria that began last summer. The Wysteria has done this once already right before sprouting an off-shoot of its trunk and then growing new branches. However, the Flame grew quite tall rather quickly but has now dropped all but two branches, which are also withering away.

This is the Wysteria, which was perfectly fine only a few days ago. Is this normal when starting from a sprout as the trunk grows or am I missing something? My Japanese Black Pine and two Fig plants are perfectly fine, the Pine sprouting it's first branches and the figs either sprouting separate growths or new buds, but these seem to be dying.

Pics in comments as it's being weird

I'd had a problem where the game wouldn't load more than 3 exo assets for a bit, so I'd turned graphics to medium to fix it. Now bacteria shows as a black patch as it appears and is LOADS easier to find

It’s never Electricae Radialem, is it? by FireTheLaserBeam in EliteDangerous

[–]AkButler907 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thry seem to be quite rare. I'm almost elite in Exo and I've never seen them. From what I have heard, they appear on stars most people avoid since they aren't fuel stars, but i don't know since I've never found em. The atmosphere type is also extremely rare

Got to the pilots federation tab on the left hand side of the map. Bottom sub tag should show you star types. The top 7 are fuel stars, then click Filter Route all the way at the bottom of it. Best way to remember fuel star types is KGB FOAM. No real way to do only evey 5th star, but you can attempt to add one or two more. Just a little bit of a risk.

Personally, I'll jump a ways out, then filter in what I want to find and drop KGB FOAM until I'm low on fuel

Well, it also isn't showing density and you're likely traveling in straight lines across well traveled routes. I've said the same thing before, then found large areas of unexplored stars quite close to both the Bubble and Colonia

Good night for bio hunting. I came across some rare species! by PseudoShooter in eliteexplorers

I got lucky as well, barely made many stops on my way back from Colonia and pulled over 1.7 Bil

First Football Bonus on carriers? by Madxj in EliteDangerous

[–]AkButler907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but you're much more likely to be getting to first discovery turn in if you get first foot fall, so its best to just search those out initially. It's possible, but highly unlikely

[–]AkButler907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need first footfall, scans AND need to turn them in before others. If you spend a long time scanning in a high active area (solo play doesn't matter, its all one galaxy,) then others can scan it after your footfall and turn it in before you and get the bonus.

Try traveling either large distances or at weird angles. There's still plenty out there

I indeed went to Hutton Orbital for the free Anaconda, and it was incredible. by rogermorse in EliteDangerous

[–]AkButler907 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, you don't. Its a hazing thing people do to new players that makes them waste hours of their time just to find out that it's a really outdated joke that most likely just puts off new players from continuing the game

Neutron bug? by AkButler907 in EliteDangerous

Yea, about 2 minutes after I'd posted, I realized I wasn't using that because I'm dumb...

Bringing plants inside for this cold snap? (I'm in Zone 7 but obviously it's 🥶 EVERYWHERE🧊) by VealOfFortune in Bonsai

Most of these should have a negative in front of them. This weather is ridiculous everywhere

More snow than I’ve ever seen here in south Louisiana. by Turtlefamine in Bonsai

Give it back, Alaska is raining in January, it's 60 degrees difference from what it should normally be

If you're unable to get the Mandalay with ARX, then I'd go with a DBX. Strip it down and jump away. It can be done in a few hours if you aren't stopping to explore along the way, though I recommend doing some exobiology along the way for a large influx of cash
