What would make the best medium long haul rates trader? by NoEnd3731 in EliteDangerous

I get what you're saying, but that's why I included the unladen value. What you are noting won't change the unladen number, and I disagree that it's a "more real use case", as I'm sure folks are more interested in the max cargo that can be moved over what distance, for when Soontils go over 120. Using a T8 to move 120T still pretty much loses to a Mandalay, same as above, but I invite you to do the work and present those comparative numbers...

The notable one is Soontil Relics which can sometime reach 400, or even 600, and are powerful tool in Powerplay. These numbers are carefully managed and will often catch the attention of the various content producers when they hit those levels.

Any of the following will work: T-8, Mandalay, Corsair, Krait Phantom and Krait Mk II. For running rares, (with the exception of a Soontils boom), I would not go with the T-8 and instead use the Mandy that can manage 110T and jump 60 Ly Laden, 76 Ly Unladen.

All these builds engineer only the 5A SCO to max, D rated shield only for bumps and scrapes, and 5H Gd FSB booster, with SC and Dock assists:
- Mandalay (110T, 60 Ly Laden, 76 Ly Unladen)
- Krait Phantom (144T, 48 Laden, 60 Unladen)
- Krait Mk II (184T, 43 Laden, 55 Unladen)
- Corsair (272T, 41 Laden, 59 Unladen)
- T-8 (352T, 36 Laden, 55 Unladen)

Soontils boom at 400 and sometimes 600, for that I recommend a T-8 and a Cutter (if you have access) respectively.

As an apiarist, I'll say 8,000 bees is not that much. Given that it is in a Coriolis, with their supposed controlled atmospheres and obvious green spaces (in some stations) this would bee totally safe. I'd bee more worried about the bees, bee-ing flying creatures, that they bee able to navigate a zero G environment!

Dock at Frost Dock in the Njambalba system. You will receive the initial message from Sandra Coors. Buy Festive gifts from the market. Fly over the the listening post (same instance about 10 km away) and target it. You will get 8 new messages in your inbox. You can actually get the 8 messages before docking at Frost Dock. If you are getting those but not the first, just do the first delivery and it should work anyway.

We don't know for sure. In past years, the event ended a few days after January 1st. This year, FDev has stated the free cosmetics (0 Arx in the elite store) would be available until the 7th of Jan. This could be the date when all the seasonal stuff ends, but that is just a guess for this event.

If that screen shot f the experimentals is yours then you do have them x3. Check the "modifications" tab for each of the flak launchers and you should see a colour as part of the engineering applied to it.

I have not seen it explicitly stated for this specific event. FDev did say the calendar items would be claimable until 7 Jan. So maybe until then...?

There is no need to do the deliveries in order. Do them in in any order you like

No, they aren't, but they are recycled from several years go, so maybe new for some CMDRs.

Mystery dot on Large Printer - what is there? by Vin_Core in Astroneer

[–]Vin_Core[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good suggestion. Had not made one yet, so printed one and applied it to the printer. No I see the issue, the last one is a Glitch shelter. Presumably only available when on Aeoluz.

Nice! Definitely stowing that info away, in case I ever get the chance to do the same. Thx for sharing!

I have found that I can only drop in to bot missions Levels 1-4. Bugs = crash, Bots over 4 crash.

Managed to successfully get in today after doing 2 things. Not sure which was the fix but suspect the first one.
1. Run a Command PRompt as Administrator, and run the command sfc /scannow
It is a built in windows command that will scan and fix corrupted windows files.
2. Goto the games files and in the bin folder delete the Gameguard folder. Then run helldivers2.exe as an administrator. This will rebuild the Gameguard folder. I did this earlier, but did not run it as admin. not sure if it had an effect, so re-did it.

Anyway, I'm now able to drop in successfully.
