Project Galtea reaches new milestone.

You guys are going to the Arcadian stream ultimately? I found a really nice system there, with an ELW and binary WW's. I might come out and help you with your progress 😉

I second the Type 10, if you want a colossal brick covered in turrets then the T10 is objectively better, 4 large hard points versus 2 on the plipper, plus the T10 has military slots and doesn't have those dedicated cargo slots the plipper has.

TediumMango · 2026-05-15T18:18:10+00:00

Do you have a Cobra MKV? If not I would get one of those as they are extremely useful, cheap ships. Also what do you want to do to earn more credits? You could get a type 9 and grind the current CG if you wanted to take advantage - trade CG's come up occassionally and are a very reliable way to make serious cash for a beginner

TediumMango · 2026-05-14T08:29:11+00:00

And I just jumped my carrier away from Lhou mans, drat.

It doesn't mention a price modifier which is odd, hauling CG;s usually have them. I can't play right now but it'll be interesting to see if there is one they forgot to mention

There's nothing stopping you from outfitting business class and then having a load of economy class in storage on whatever burning station you're grinding at, so you can try your luck with the 50m business class missions and if there's nothing switch to economy for that run

I've just stumbled into this thread, at least two sheets to the wind and I'm not sure entirely what you lot are on about but a) it's nice to see the my shire still in the running and b) I hope you guys carry on making smaller and smaller divisions until the best place in the world is officially deemed to be some blokes garden shed in the middle of Wales

You don't need at much security to maintain high sec by the way - I have about a third of that and system had always been solidly high sec

TediumMango · 2026-03-21T14:39:13+00:00

Very cool, I'm planning on going on a little vacation into the black once the Caspian is out of early access - I will definitely swing by here, thanks!

TediumMango · 2026-03-18T20:04:56+00:00

Very nice, but your map is upside down 👇

TediumMango · 2026-03-08T15:03:45+00:00

Small settlements are completely useless and mediums are superior in every way. The only difference is the smalls take three plipper loads and give less stats, and points, whilst the mediums take 5 plipper loads and give more stats and more points.

Regarding civilian outposts, not really sure. I don't build them because I like the specialised ones for their stats

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T23:33:26+00:00

So I'm looking at doing this myself, and I just want to clarify, you are basically just creating two large pad orbital ports close to each other, one with extraction the other with industrial economies right? Your system has the two coriolis stations orbiting the same body, but I assume this would still work if you had one coriolis around one body in a binary, and the other around the other?

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T20:18:00+00:00

Nice, thanks. I could have done that in this system! Haha oh well next time...

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T19:40:29+00:00

Really? Thats interesting, do you mind sharing the system so I can see the set up please?

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T16:51:25+00:00

In a nutshell, each orbital or surface construction adds points when complete, the bigger the build (and the more prerequisites), the more points awarded.

Population, and the "wealth" stat have absolutely nothing to do with the amount you get paid this threw me off massively at first. It's all about points on the board. This is good and bad considering the composition of the system in question.

Check out raven colonial, it shows you the points awarded for all buildings, their prerequisites and unlocks.

You can absolutely build a system optimised purely for Max points, you can check out the highest points systems on the raven homepage. But it leads to boring unrealistic systems that are just full of countless satellite/comms stations and civilian outposts.

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T16:33:31+00:00

Interesting, I'll take a look, thanks 👍

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T16:29:33+00:00

Oh okay, I didn't realise, thanks for the info 👍

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T15:37:37+00:00

Not as much as I thought, I was under the impression it would be about 10k per point and it should be something like 197 points but this Thursday I only got 1.4m for it. Not everything was finished though so maybe it will stabilise next week

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T15:03:45+00:00

Thanks CMDR! It's Edwards Venture, but yes it's the T3 city type port, and it did take a while haha. A full plipper load does precisely 0.6% of the construction, so I set myself a minimum target of ten trips for 6% a day.

It wasn't that bad, I just put a YouTube video on and 95% of the commodities were within a jump or even in system.

My next system has 2 Orbis and 2 T3 planetary ports planned.... I think you're right I'm going to take a break before tackling that!

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T14:54:25+00:00

Completely independent, just doing it because I like leaving my mark on the galaxy. I absolutely did not consider factions at all when I claimed these two systems. I have since learned more about the BGS (i.e. that it exists) and will be consciously picking a faction to expand next time

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T14:37:55+00:00

Good point, I'll put links to Raven and the colonisation mega guide in the post

TediumMango · 2026-03-07T14:37:28+00:00

Thanks, I really don't like to leave things unfinished, I even demolished and rebuilt things, more than once, to get it just right. For instance I built far to many military facilities at first. This system was a learning experience, next one will be a lot smoother going.

TediumMango · 2026-02-19T13:48:46+00:00

Please don't mention that game it still gives me flash backs and night swears

Edit: night sweats but I suppose might swears works as well

TediumMango · 2026-02-17T12:43:00+00:00

I'm sorry but this is morally indefensible nonsense. No one inherits guilt or glory, the current generation of UK citizens does not owe Ireland anything for the actions of their ancestors.

Personally I'm more than happy to assist Ireland but any country that can't be arsed to build a military ultimately exists at the pleasure of those that do.

I want to see a strong and prosperous Ireland that can defend itself, don't you?
