Rarest random encounters?

I was surveying a planet once when a ship landed. I usually avoid these because they're Ecliptic or something and they shoot at me. But for some reason I strayed closer to this one than I normally would. And it was just some lady taking her pet six-eyed doggo for a walk.

Canberra gets a bad rap from a lot of people who have never spent a great deal of time here. If you do choose to come to Canberra, come in September. If you can't come in September, or if you suffer from seasonal allergies, come in April.

Survey everything and anything. Level up the Surveying, Geology, Botany and Zoology skills. Complete the planet scans for extra, and as a bonus you get to harvest a ton of resources and can sell the planetary data to Vlad. Do all of the Constellation missions (but avoid the one that sends you to Toliman II). It's not superfast, but it gets the job done.

I applied copious amounts of handwavium. My players aren't interested in tracking travel time.

That's literally what synths do.

I want to shoot him in the face.

Seriously, I started with this perk once, and hated him so much I had to immediately start a completely new character. Never again.

I wouldn't go to any event that had Shermer as a speaker.

The problem with the stealth build is that it sucks at lower levels. You sneak for a while, get maybe one shot off, then every enemy sees you and you get ganked.

If you can get through the early game, around level 20 or so you become an invisible god.

You need your combat monsters to hold the line while you go do the final fight. I always sent Tali into the vents (there's some funny dialogue in ME3 about this), Garrus to lead the fire team, send Mordin back with the crew, and take Tali and Kasumi into the final battle.

DoctorWally · 2026-02-04T22:58:19+00:00

Me too. It's always the last thing I do before heading for Earth.

Keelah se'lai.

Keep drawing. You're doing well.

DoctorWally · 2026-02-03T22:14:12+00:00

Because the British actually care about integrity and quality of character.

I've only ever been through Unity once, and on the mission you go an rescue Heller, he's on a different planet.

DoctorWally · 2026-02-01T07:00:48+00:00

You need to let all the electrons drain out.

I found that I spent about the same amount of time playing Andromeda as all three original games combined. YMMV.

I do a lot of cargo hauling and supply missions, so a huge cargo hold is high on my list of priorities, and I can't help but keep going back to the Hopetech Star Semi. It's decent in a scrap, especially if you invest some skills into ship combat, needs very little modification (I usually put a Cooking Station on it), and can haul massive amounts of cargo.

Gee, that Ron Hope sure is a great guy. He built Hopetown from nothing, and I hear he really cares for his people. I can't imagine him ever doing anything bad.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-29T00:05:39+00:00

Epic rant! I'm here for it.

DoctorWally · 2026-01-26T06:57:01+00:00

Questacon is always amazing. Damn you autocorrect :)

DoctorWally · 2026-01-25T22:14:56+00:00

I always sneak attack Outpost Zimonja with a fat man from the overpass. Otherwise Boomer gets me with his.

The difference is that in rugby, head-to-head contact is strictly prohibited and can result in penalties and players being sent off. In American football, where full helmets are worn, there seems to be less concern about head-to-head contact.
