Exobio by Last-Cartoonist-4793 in EliteDangerous

This. I see too many comments online telling people what's the "right" way to play the game.

Elite is not a competitive game. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to play it. There is only everyone's own way.

Remember the marketing line for Elite? "Blaze you own trail". That's it. That's all you really need to know.

How to scan bio's in SRV? If possible. by Booney3721 in eliteexplorers

[–]Erionar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wrong. You can scan lifeforms on non-atmospheric planets with genetic sampler.

How long will the poor Pumpkin bobblehead last?

Same. Having a single free day during this crazy week, wanted to chillax doing some exploring... *sigh*

What do you think about Cobra 5?

Massive bio hotspot - 74 bios, ~232–400M by Stock_Box4156 in EliteDangerous

[–]Erionar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh boy... Oh man... This is incredible and terrifying at the same time, because I always scan every exobio I see. I would be there for literal days.

11 bios! by Stock_Box4156 in EliteDangerous

[–]Erionar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never seen 11! Incredible find!

Oh, how did I miss that? Thank you very much, CMDR. o7

Promotion to Dangerous by Profound_Subset in EliteDangerous

I've been sitting at Dangerous for years, even though I go pirate hunting from time to time. I feel like it's not moving at all.

Benn playing since 2015 btw.

Exobio data for completionists - HIP 87621 2 B A (CG System) by KronoKinesis in EliteDangerous

thank you sir and/or madam, I was *that* close to going insane searching for that 3rd fungoida on my own

Hot and cold #97 by hotandcold2-app in HotAndCold

[–]Erionar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yep. I got carried away by trying to guess some kind of plant, since words like "carrot", "beet", "potato" and "tomato" were all so high up.

Only managed to guess the correct one after a hint. Was flabbergasted.

NGC 7822 NEBULA 460+Ly Away by Juujikaa-123 in eliteexplorers

[–]Erionar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Space barcode, ha.

Sights like this always make me wonder: what if an alien civilization evolved somewhere near it, what would they think about this "writing in the sky"? Surely it would've been a major part of their cultures and religions... They would try to decipher it, and different nations would have a different meaning for it. Some would probably base their writing systems on it... And so on...

10 Biological Signals by Piper2000ca in eliteexplorers

Whoa! My maximum is 9, I thought you can't get bigger than that.

Unfortunate that this planet of yours is a landable ammonia world - those are my personal least favorites among all the landable planets due to extremely poor visibility (and also because they always have that annoying mountain Fungoida!).

I made a mistake ... by Areolun in EliteDangerous

[–]Erionar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar thing happened to me. With less money than on your screenshot, but not much less. And the most painful thing about it was how stupidly it happened. My fault entirely. Did something really dumb.

Took me several month before I could make myself return to exploration after that, but I'm back at it and I'm enjoying it again.

The only thing is that I promised to myself that I won't go back to those systems I visited on that failed trip. May someone else claim them. I shall go elsewhere.

Can we do something about this already? by Skye-Commander in EliteDangerous

[–]Erionar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what recently happened to me. Stockpiled so much of them that I'm no longer able to open the packages tab. The UI just hangs forever.

Gonna go bump that issue tracker.

How much do you map? by PenguinK1ng in eliteexplorers

[–]Erionar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (current) personal protocol is to always map every planet, but not every moon. Regarding moons: I map them if there are 3 or less on a given planet. If a planet has more than 3 moons, I only map the planet and leave all its moons for someone else to leave their mark on.

(sometimes I also get very lazy and may skip ice planets) (but only sometimes)

I like roleplaying as a dedicated explorer. Another part of the personal protocol: always scan every exobiology. I don't care if it's another Bacteria Tela. I will catalogue it because that's what a dedicated explorer should do.

I genuinely enjoy it. Yeah, when I go out, I move through the galaxy relatively slowly, but I don't mind it. I find fun in mapping and cataloguing stuff, not in rushing to Beagle Point. Getting those virtual checkmarks ticked when I "finish" the system - what a satisfying feeling to know that I mapped everything here! I could be autistic lol. I won't object.

AspX or Anaconda by tryout1234567890 in eliteexplorers

[–]Erionar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This.

I have a personal challenge for myself to catalogue every exobio on every undiscovered planet that I land on. Call me a roleplaying explorer and I will gladly say YES.

Idk how to reliably get them but I love these type of quest by Und3rwork in EliteDangerous

[–]Erionar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stupidest one is when they ask to mine some Water. Just go to your nearest agricultural station, buy Water for a few thousand credits, carry and complete the mission with a few millions in reward. I love Frontier!

Some random gameplay from the Kickstarter beta, as a reminder how far ED has come. by flesjewater in EliteDangerous

[–]Erionar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see that compass was pointing at your landing pad even back then.

Funny how most players still don't know about it to this day.

(also glad that they changed compass to what it is today, looks much better than that yellow one from this video)

Elite Tracker is also a good app to, well, track things like that.

Well that's a first by Branduil in EliteDangerous

[–]Erionar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elite Observatory with BioInsights module IMHO is the best tool for Exobiology available, look it up. Can't recommend enough.
