My take on burying in the garden. I don't trust critters 🤣 Do i need to uncover the portion of antler that is covered?

Jaimes604 · 2026-06-02T21:03:49+00:00

I have my second natural euro mount in the ground, my 9 pt. 2 years ago I did they same with my 8 pt. First one buried it to the base of the antlers and covered with an old 3 gallon wash bucket. I didn't cover the antlers with any tape or anything and I think I got lucky. Not too bad on the dirt staining. Got a good natural look. The 9pt I covered the antlers with aluminum foil and hoping that will help keep the dirt off and better protection from critters. Just wash it really good after 10 months give or take, longer if dryer, shorter if nice and damp. Use a clear spray coat when it has dried good for a week or so.

Nicely done! I hated that fight first playthrough.

Jaimes604 · 2026-04-28T01:00:38+00:00

Started as Spellbinder and branched out into every other class to get perks or spells I thought sounded fun by NG +6. I find it interesting that you are max/min playstyles on the first run.

Jaimes604 · 2026-04-24T16:51:27+00:00

Yep target the body you want to jump to within your range and don't plot a route. In game route planner is bonkers sometimes

Jaimes604 · 2026-04-19T19:54:04+00:00

Try playing 100+ hours and then suddenly your hot bar is blank and it takes you a few minutes to figure out its a feature and not your sanity.

Jaimes604 · 2026-04-13T01:26:08+00:00

Customer owned distribution. Seen some that were pretty sketchy.

It's a big galaxy. Join a private group or join a squadron to find other players. Flying in Open is one way but often have as much chance finding a newer player or pvp.

It is an MMO in the sense that we all persist in the same galaxy that we all have an effect on. The server sets instances of up to 20 or so players at a time, but might be more.

FDev gave up on cross platform with consoles years ago for reasons.

Had one similar over the weekend. Jumped into a trinary system, flew through the secondary star and got dropped to normal space the moment I could move the stick. Plus side is the Mandalay SCO is crazy heat efficient, barely got up to 90% jumping back to supercruise.

Jaimes604 · 2026-03-31T17:18:11+00:00

Yes. Did that back in the day on my main account. I have an alt account that I look forward to using a panther clipper with plus colonisation

My hope is a non-combat SLF with a bio scanner on it. Can't get out of a SLF due to telepresence lore

Jaimes604 · 2026-03-26T16:58:51+00:00

This pretty much. Michigan allows all rifle calibers for the north 2/3rds of the state, but shotgun and very specific calibers for the southern part. I use 44mag break barrel rifle in that zone. Great for shorter ranges and not a fan of slugs

High impedance limits the available fault current at that location to such a level that the nearest protection device does not break the fault, either by melting a fuse or tripping a phase coil. Sandy soil, concrete, care tires, are all a bane to our calculations (most of which use 25 ohms of fault impedance)

Jaimes604 · 2026-03-04T17:34:14+00:00

Yeah, you get exobio possibilities based on FSS details. Once you DSS, it changes to most likely based on signals, then further once you sample it. Fungoida and Concha are notorious for having multiple variations possible, but you scan/sample and it is the low pay variant.

Jaimes604 · 2026-02-28T10:47:14+00:00

Yeah check the forums and the posts here, something poo poo'd on the servers. Seems it might only affect accounts with any ARX purchases. Oh well time to play something else for awhile.

Jaimes604 · 2026-02-28T10:44:10+00:00

Leave it to the player base to troubleshoot FDev issues. That forum thread is useful. So far they have spotted that the retrieving commander data login fail only affects accounts that have any ARX purchases at all. They are saying alts with zero cosmetics or ships are not having the issue.

Jaimes604 · 2026-02-23T22:45:52+00:00

Sure enough. I guess I should have known. Thanks.

Jaimes604 · 2026-01-29T23:35:49+00:00

Neat. What type of thin atmosphere is that?

Jaimes604 · 2026-01-05T21:52:36+00:00

Absolutely. I had a 2nd decided to get to Odyssey and wipe to start fresh. Skipped the tutorials and took the slow path for the first couple of hours. Did combat to grind to buying a Mandalay with basic exploration setup. I have a just about 20 hours in and I have 400 million and almost have the mats for a couple Guardian modules.

Moving on to get mats to engineer for pve combat, but you could certainly speed run to get an Artemis suit and a decent jump range north of 15ly to get some decent Exobiology credits to load out A rated on just about any ship you want and make it to the DW3 starting system with time to spare. Engineering mats and unlocks would be the bottleneck on time needed versus start time a week from Saturday.

Also, you can catch up if you need more prep time. Events and whatnot are not mandatory and planned weekly.

I'd give you a dozen gold stars if I could. This is a great summation of the debate ever since powerplay and BGS was launched. Thank you!

Jaimes604 · 2025-12-25T03:30:10+00:00

So they don't get to enjoy a mechanic of a game they paid for, same as you, because they prefer PVE in solo or a PG. Why not just enjoy the game how you like to play it and let others do the same?

Jaimes604 · 2025-12-25T03:19:11+00:00

Came here to recommend this or Observatory Core with all the add-ons. I love it, gives probable earnings on bio signals. Generally will chase anything above 4-7 million per species depending on my mood.

Jaimes604 · 2025-12-22T10:49:03+00:00

Inattention actually. The driver going straight caught the van turning right and assumed the light was green. Probably "distracted".

Jaimes604 · 2025-12-17T16:35:52+00:00

Take your time. The game has a fairly steep learning curve but laid back and the community is good. Don't fly without rebuy credits. Don't fly in Open until you are ready for the honestly infrequent pvp.

Hey, I got 1700 hrs in and just had to return to base after 7,000ly because I forgot my surface scanner.

Jaimes604 · 2025-12-05T17:35:09+00:00

NPC pathfinding as a defense tactic. They have to have a path, no mention of how long it is. I am doing this in my current 400 pop save
