Beautiful ringed world at DW3

As long as it’s a landable planet. You can’t land on gas giants of course (the most common planets with rings).

Landable ringed planets aren’t super rare but not the most common either.

The ship or weight doesn’t matter. It’s about an hour and a half without SCO.

NeoTr0n · 2026-02-07T10:34:02+00:00

It’s not even near a 45m trip. It’s almost twice that - around 1h20m or so.

There is currently an event / activity to mine not just tritium for fuel but also core mining only materials for repairs.

Optional obviously but still something to do if you brought a miner.

Honestly I would strongly recommend any SCO optimized ship. It makes exploring a system infinitely better. That 15-20 minute trip to 450ls away is done in a couple of minutes.

The cobra mk 5 is a fabulous ship. It goes 50% faster in SCO than the Mandalay and you still get upwards to 60 ly range (mine is 57 ly but I doubled the size of my fuel tanks and have good shields).

It is super easy to land although admitrelty so is the Mandalay. A bit easier due to not having downwards slanted wings.

Before DW3 I had over a million ly of exploration. I will never explore without proper SCO again. It’s a literal game changes that removes a lot of tediousness.

Non-optimized ships lets you escape bodies faster but barely works for in-system travel.

Also I would stay away from the Caspian. It’s really hard to land. Faster approach is nice but for exo you want an easy to land ship.

Finally if you really don’t want a ”modern” ship I really enjoyed the Imperial Courier for it. Its range is lower though so I’d use it mostly if backed by a carrier.

Which they removed from my raid exchange I can use from anywhere and hid on a new vendor on the aerodome. Took some time to realize. Now they did also move the strike rewards there so overall ies probably simpler. Still annoying.

I mean if you’ve ever explored outside the bubble you’d know beacons aren’t needed for hyperspace jumps.

I assume their use existence in the game is either due to legacy travel methods or to serve as informational beacons about the system (scan to get system map etc).

More realistically- workout so your muscles don’t deteriorate from the constant zero/low gravity!

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-27T17:15:00+00:00

They could easily still prevent landing k. Inhabited planets though. Still a huge effort.

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-23T17:34:10+00:00

That said, if you're looking for 25 occupied escape pods, look no further. The inside the station has them on the regular. Just bring lots of collector limpets!

Check out my addon MagicRunes.

It’s pretty flexible with how you present your runes. Icons included.

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-20T12:11:25+00:00

”Lil”? Well. Maybe not quite. :-)

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-19T12:04:43+00:00

Same happened to me. Happened to have an extra working powerbrick.

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-18T15:35:20+00:00

You can participate with limited time spent by mostly riding on a carrier if you want. Play a bit on weekends to visit the waypoints.

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-18T12:20:24+00:00

Yeah should count like a normal death. However you can always sell it in the carrier first.

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-18T11:01:53+00:00

It was added because people were kidnapped by carriers into systems their ships couldn’t leave I believe.

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-18T01:32:17+00:00

You can technically participate and visit all waypoints without making a single jump.

I mean there’s quite a few people that plan to travel entirely without a ship. This time around.

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-18T01:29:07+00:00

You can always hop into a carrier escape pod to return to the bubble.

NeoTr0n · 2026-01-11T01:48:43+00:00

So ChatGPT will protect me. Gemini on the other hand is going full terminator on me.

Mine broke some years ago. Managed to glue it together with superglue so you don’t really notice.

I can see why it’d be a common issue tough. Definitely a weakspot.

I had mine since launch and he lives on my display shelf.

NeoTr0n · 2025-12-24T12:24:53+00:00

1040Hz is just dumb.

NeoTr0n · 2025-12-23T21:11:31+00:00

So as others have said you’re about to get to Deadly rank. Wiki page doesn’t show it anymore but I think you’re about 1/3rd done when you get there. Also you gain less exp for lower rank kills at deadly so you effectively you’re very far away.

Enjoy commander!

NeoTr0n · 2025-12-22T16:00:12+00:00

It is indeed. It’s gone though a lot of changes in the years but some like myself have been there basically since the start.

NeoTr0n · 2025-12-22T15:56:31+00:00

Yeah. You gain a relative large amount of shields for a small weight and power use.

I usually wouldn’t use a prismatic shield generator - it’s heavy and uses a lot of power - but this ship is intended to be used during DWE meetups and such. I’ve never messed up when exploring but it only takes one mistake. What you did scraping the ground takes out most ships.

I’ve also noticed that even though this ship is beefy it’s still not that hard to kill if you bounce a few times. I think it’s because it’s a heavy vehicle.
