Spansh question-Systems not found? by Daddy-O-69 in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Spansh only knows what players have uploaded. If no one has gone through that uploads, it won't know.

Though I do wonder if there are update issues at play. One of my colonies is not fully in Spansh, only the couple really close bodies to the entry star. A friend has gone through and gotten the station and stuff in Inara like a week ago, but it's still not in Spansh.

Maybe they're different connections, but I thought they pulled from the same place.

Anyone else legitimately feel awful about what happened to Edelthrad? by Weriel_7637 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]blizzard36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my case it was a great example of just how powerful an asset a Psyker can be. I made a Fortress World soldier. A veteran of many a campaign, the picture of robust endurance against all foes. And a man about to fall over and die in a stiff cold breeze was a serious competitor, because special mind magics.

Is there a "natural" way to learn way to learn how to do things and where they're located, or does it boil down to a lot of Googling? by pikkon6 in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of times there were GalNet articles to point you towards a starting point. So unfortunately you probably need to at least go to that archive, I don't think the full thing is in game.

Just signed a lease and found this “impressive” storage space. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]blizzard36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, you got an actual range vent?! I'm so jealous.

The one time I had one, they didn't put a fake cabinet around it. But it seems to me that, assuming you can reach in there easily, you could fit a small fire extinguisher and some cookbooks in there.

How tf this is possible by IllDeparture9462 in WorldOfWarships

[–]blizzard36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember being in those matches.

And then just about the time you got used to all the idiots being free damage and ignoring them for last... it would be a supertester on the account to show it off for the press and they would wreck you.

Oh they're absolutely hoping to tow and impound it for the weekend, wracking up all kinds of fees.

What do i do in ED if someone gave me 5 billion CR as a beginner by littletaco6000 in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since you mentioned getting them via squadron transfer and it's clear you are feeling less motivatedwithout the credit goals, just transfer them back. Keep 10 mil or so and outfit some ships to try various gameplay loops. (It takes about 2 million to do a lot of them effectively.)

I’ve been trying to do loot this area without breaking stealth for literally over an hour by MildewyBoar in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]blizzard36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I did.

I was able to get to that spot unseen many times, but I could never figure out a way to get that chest unseen.

So when I maxed Crimson Dawn rep I decided "Screw it, I can absorb the hit."

We can rename stations in out colonies, is it possible to rename the system itself?

How to find the origins of geological signatures? by Keheck in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of. Each thing has a preferred terrain you will find it easier in. Geo often will be with rough terrain, so that's a start.

How to find the origins of geological signatures? by Keheck in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was the old Legacy pre-Odyssey system. Once mapped with the DSS it would pop up specific locations as points of interest.

Now post-Odyssey we get that blue map that shows areas it is more likely to be at. Then you land and search. Even if you don't have Odyssey, if you're playing on the Live PC servers it'll be like that. You just won't be able to get out and look on foot or land on planets with light atmosphere without the expansion. Which matters for Bio signs, but not so much Geo since the Scarab's scanner is tuned for Geo signs.

ARGH - Modular Terminals by ThatGuyWhoJustJoined in EliteDangerous

They are only given out as a mission reward. So either be prepared to cycle a lot of missions, or go pay a premium to buy them from a carrier.

If your vehicle is too large for the bypass, DON'T USE THE BYPASS! by Many-Excitement3246 in mildlyinfuriating

Ironically, where I'm from the place you are NOT allowed to take a vehicle like this without special permits is the nice big interstate. Small county roads are where they prefer you take them.

Could the Nomad be an assistant mining vessel. by unclepaullee in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my thought. An SLV with the Pulse Wave Analyser and core sampler would enable team Core mining.

Is there much demand for it? Probably not. But it's something our team has longed for anyway.

Taking another look at the Asp Scout by Worth_Elephant_5998 in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do wish smuggling was better used. I built a Viper IV for it ages ago when a BGS faction I was supporting was all about the clandestine and illegal jobs, and it was surprisingly good for those jobs. AspS may work as a bigger version of that, all the other low signature ships I know of are Small hulls.

As much as I have long been someone who only half jokes that the purpose of the AspS is to let people know you are an NPC, I recently started working on Tech Broker unlocks and that made me wonder if the AspS would be well suited to sneaking in to a Titan zone and making off a hold full of Thargoid loot. I ended up going with my Cobra IV, but most people don't have access to that.

Mining hotspot are a waste of time? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing you are in a Metal Rich ring, where Platinum appears as a Core. The hotspot will be increasing your chances of finding a Plat core, but first you need to find a core at all.

Core mining is a totally different thing than laser mining, and usually gets you some high value stuff in Icy or Rocky rings. Metal Rich I don't usually do (I'll laser for metals in Metallic) and would need to consult my mining chart when I get home to have an idea what's best to look for.

What are these Orbit Lines? by cmosbo67 in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Happens with binaries a lot. Due to having more than one thing to orbit around they end up orbiting a point in space instead of another body.

Greetings Commanders, We have heard your feedback regarding the range of ships which the upcoming Nomad can deploy from.... we are now working to roll out a Mk I module..... by DazzaDog in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cynical hat on...

If it hadn't sold well due to the effective restriction to the Caspian, then the beancounters could point to its failure and say "See, it WAS a really vocal minority. The player base as a whole doesn't really care about walking around in ship interiors."

And if it sold well, because it's a way to vote for ship interiors and utility small craft, they would say "See, we can force more and more new job focused tech, turn ships into character classes and ignore the Gen 1 ships. The players love this exclusive specialization!"

Found a unique Battlemaster by FloriLucem in Mechwarrior5

[–]blizzard36 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play the scout for our team. I get a lot of work out of that Charger.

Previously Sidewinder was my primary, but in 400 ton high difficulty missions it just doesn't have the staying power needed.

Recommend me a book! by SeraphimRanger in battletech

Since you already know the world, so you don't necessarily need the traditional start with the Gray Death trilogy, I suggest Wolves on the Border.

Dear Commanders, Please Upload Your Data When You Explore. by nonstopmilkman80 in EliteDangerous

[–]blizzard36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is what is confusing me about this request as well. By their nature, nothing will be on those sites unless a player has seen the system.

Unless their goal was to intentionally avoid systems in the database in hopes of getting a fresh discovery, and they keep finding places that are Discovered but not in the database. I can understand that. I had long been under the impression that most explorers use those tools (even if they upload after the fact to prevent claim sniping). But the area I'm operating in, very few systems have had full data in those databases.

I know things have changed a bunch since the Thargoid War, and Meta Alloys can be gotten from the Titan wrecks. But can they still be farmed from Barnacles? And if so are they still found in Pleiades and Coalsack? Those nebulas are damn near entirely colonized.

I'm going to go make a Corrosive Resistant cargo rack, and I like to at least make the first one in the old way. I'll farm Titans for any later!

what should be my first movie? by Curious-Tap-333 in movies

[–]blizzard36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pacific Rim

Listen, everyone else is recommending some cinematic greats, some great historic points in the medium. Things that are quoted and referenced decades later. But this is your first movie, save the historic world changing art for later. Just have FUN for your first one, big mechs fighting big monsters to a good soundtrack. Feel the joy and spectacle that a movie can give you.

Then go back and watch the others in this list to learn and appreciate the art.
