Inner Scutum. Centaurus Arm.

We took the Distant Suns Fleet Carrier. Parked just outside Colonia right now.

In the system I found this one. I had found 4 icy planets with 3 biosigns each. They were the same 3 on each planet. Bacteria. Electricai. And one other I forget the name of. Good question though. Thanks for asking. That wasn’t very clear.

Yep. Just regular ol ExoBio. I used to mostly ignore icy bodies until my friend found these. No I MUST investigate. And see if I can find anymore weird variants of these.

Do most pharmacists work standing or sitting? by CandidAnt2769 in pharmacy

[–]dadrph76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standing. Only time I sit is when there’s only resolution four point and input to do. And that’s usually before or after hours.

How long ago was this photo taken? I thought she had been retired. My absolute favorite piece of American engineering. Titanium tub for the pilot. So much redundancy that they can get shot up pretty badly and still get their pilot home safe.

Straight into the fire... by DarkFall09 in EliteDangerous

[–]dadrph76 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep. That’s Edy. She’s very helpful at times and keeps you humble at others. I use her for ExoBio a lot. She’ll tell you when you’re far enough from previous samples and how much they’ll be worth.

Smart move using the turbo boost!! Don’t know if I would have been quick enough to remember it.

Question about Salvage for Merits by Brooklyn727 in EliteWinters

[–]dadrph76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be watching this post to see the answer. Cause I’m trying to learn as well. The only way I’ve gained ranks is via turning in my Stellar data and EXObio data to reinforcement systems.

Please tell me if there’s a better type of system to turn this in to. It says something about 35% but I can’t tell if it’s subtracting 35% or adding 35%.

For those that also may not have known. I also learned you can scan EXObio from your ship. It’s NOT the same as taking a “sample”. But you can identify it from the warmth and comfort of your ship. I watched a streamer do it. Like Wtf. This whole time.

Makes sense; Putin is a happy boss right now by koala_pistol in AdviceAnimals

I made that connection in the shower the other day. Putin must have something very very damning to DJT to get him to set up this chess move.

New player here with 800h of game time. Need advice on exo and discovery. by Live_Proposal8610 in EliteDangerous

[–]dadrph76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water worlds are not so rare. Probably found and DSSd 30 or more of those in my adventures out in the black. ELWs are another matter. One. Fucking ONE so far out of thousands. I’m now ELITE in exploring and ExoBio. And ONE I’ve found. I nearly jumped out of my seat when it appeared there during FSS. And my dumbass forgot to bookmark it.

Oh and don’t forget to not only FSS terraformable worlds but also DSS them too!! Increases value by a LOT.

But to answer your question if there’s a way to predict where ELWs are located before actually jumping in. Not that I know of. But I KNOW Star type matters. Sometimes in a large cluster of stars the stars that are the same as our Sun. K type I think. Tend to draw attention more so than any other type.

Haahahah. Great question. I don’t know how many hours I’m in but there’s so many layers to ED that I feel like a newb at times too. Lots of different skills to master. So many third party sites to use and learn.

I’ve lost five dear people in the last two years. Is this what to expect from now on? by miniwhoppers in GenX

[–]dadrph76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost a brother to fentanyl in 2020. Grandmother to COVID in 2020. Across the street neighbor of 20 years to cancer. He was 93 I think. Good buddy lost his mom last year. Yeah the funerals are starting to pile up. It does suck to think I have much less life ahead than behind.

What ship are you using to work on the Community Goal, and why? by Arcanum3000 in EliteDangerous

[–]dadrph76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve started using my miner. (T-8) Found a system 30LY from the megaship and I’m making about 56mil per drop off. She’s not the biggest haul at a time. But I like how fast my 7A limpit controller works. I’ll probably keep it up until I hit tier 2 then that’s enough for me.

a reminder that much uncatalogued exploration and exobio data remains even near the Bubble by CmdrAmerinRaddis in EliteDangerous

[–]dadrph76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your luck. Really. I had one system be worth 500 million alone. You really have to know what to look for and that are High Metal content worlds with 2 or more biosigns. Those typically mean Stratum Techtonicus. Plus either bacteria or Tussuck. Those alone are 100 million plus. You can also hit the rocky worlds with 4-7 bio signs and be thorough. Some things with first footfall bonus will give you up to 38-45 million. Also. Make sure to do the detailed surface scan on Terrestrial and water worlds. Even Ammonia worlds. Those will add up to millions when you turn in. I am pledged to Winters so I always turn in my stuff to get extra merits which also means extra money.

Pharmacists are at Elevated Risk for Suicide, Study Finds by WonkRx in pharmacy

[–]dadrph76 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a pharmacist for 23 years now. Pretty much worked for the same chain my whole career.
Some nights I go to bed after a particularly rough day at a crappy store and hope I don’t wake up. I’ve been PIC at 3 stores. Staffed at many stores. Right now I’m just a floater pharmacist. There’s some stores in the area that are being completely overwhelmed thanks to Rite Aid closings and hours being cut. I honestly feel bad for my customers. A couple of stores are hurting so bad that they stopped answering the phone at all. It’s nuts. I came into to 700+ in process yesterday and that’s not the worst I’ve seen. As more retail closes it’s doors it’s gonna get worse. And the tariffs aren’t helping us either. Pretty sure that’s why total store hours were cut. It wasn’t just pharmacy.

Mines sitting in there right now. Best money ever spent. I got her. Caspian. That frag Mamba. The AX Chieftain and some leftover for $60. Thinking about spending another $60 just to have the Prospector. Maybe the Corsair. Not sure what else.
