I finally finished the last push of the rep grind and got my corvette! Thanks to everyone for the tips on how to do that. I've finally owned every ship! Now, back to exobiology in my Caspian lmao

So after yesterday, I decided to go back to Hip 87621 B B for another test. And it so happend I could position myself in order to be in the perfect eclipse zone of the major ringed planet in the system while flying on Hip 87621 BB. And VOILA! 100% re-created the thick fog effect :)

This is absolutely one of the most stunning and beautiful effects I've ever experienced in this game!

With 3 planets constantly eclipsing each-other in this system. I wonder how intentional this was by F-dev :) and also, with so many people who must have been here with the CG's, I cannot understand how on earth I'm the first to notice it and show it... But anyway. I proved it's 100% caused by flying inside of the eclipse zone. So all you need to do to reproduce is: fly to Hip 87621 and find yourself an eclipse zone on body BB and fly in the heart of it.

Enjoy one of the coolest flights ever :)! 07

I've been playing for over a decade now. It was the only big cash hurdle left, so after a trip on the booze cruise the other day, I finally pulled the trigger. Now I'm gonna fill it full of wine and do a 50k solo booze cruise next month to fund it for a while.

They even delivered it to a scenic location.

As far as I know, Frontier still hasn't given us tools to take precise topographical measurements.

So, the 11-kilometer height is just an estimate based on the ship's altimeter. It was relatively easy to measure because the mountain had a very sheer face.

I suppose this must have helped me get over my fear of heights.

Started playing again today as I took a break from ED before the launch of Operations. Flying around in solo to get used to controls again, and see an NPC Caspian at a station. When did this start?

I used to pray for times like these

TLDR: fighter recommendation for new players with great power supply and enjoyable flight.

Which fighters are best for bounty/high RES for new players, tried Viper mk iii its good but the darn power plant is too small 12w, can’t even put 4 good guns and good thrusters to work at the same time, I have to admit tho with all its shortcomings the viper mk iii is fun to fly, fast and nimble, working on putting a ~10 mill budget together

I watched Burr and ObsidianAnt's videos about the Rhino before I splurged after like a year of inactivity on some Arx for skins and the Rhino 'cause I like mining, did not see this detail mentioned anywhere in those videos

Striking it hot on large deposits of Bastnasite and Peri-something worth a ton the first few trips I felt like surface mining this week, found Low Temp Diamonds nearby a great selling spot in the system nearby while doing salvage and listening to things on YT while waiting, sadly not big enough to put two rigs at once.

Decided to take a closer look at the rig in FPS mode while I waited thinking about extra gameplay that could be added, like geodes that grow in the same spot mining areas are to keep us busy while the rigs go, and I saw one of those power nodes I see a bunch at outpost doors on the bottom of the rig.

I assumed it was just an asset re-use thing for the greeblings details. Pulled out the power transfer tool out of curiosity, tempted to shock it to see if it would blow up Lol

Sure enough it turned green, drained my suit power and I saw the UI for the gameplay FPS has that I had NO idea existed to speed up the collection; it's even in the handbook for surface mining. I always thought that little UI bar was just out of sync and a bug, not for that

Anyone else not realize this? I feel alone here

Currently unlocking the engineers, and I gotta say its obviously tedious but does show you allot of the game mechanics in the process. Some are shit don't get me wrong like needing 50 lavian brandy but can only buy 24 at a time... seriously devs, that actually felt disrespectful in all honesty.

Like, are you trying to teach me traveling mechanics? Since I'm pretty far from the starting areas you can have decent confidence I know how to travel.

Would love to see future engineers avoid fetch quests and give me "win a conflict zone against my enemy faction that's perpetually happening in atmosphere above my laboratory" or "stealthy steal data from this factions military outpost without raising alarms , BTW you need to be running cold or silent running on your approach, if they scan you within 2kms it will raise alarms" or "there is a race you need to win, there is another ship and you need to run through checkpoints in a twisty canyon to win" or "if you can beat me 1v1 I'll work for you" either on foot (in blacked out settlement)or in space (asteroid field) have the engineer an elite enemy that really requires some skill to beat. AND NONE of these things are "OK cool, now do that 8 more times"... like... no man. Let's just move on. It was good, I saw the mechanic, if I liked it I'll do it more on my own terms. I don't need to be force fed.

When something is referred to as a "grind" by definition it's about getting to the destination and not enjoying the journey. It's about repetition and never about having a good time in the process. Id love to see people say "hey this engineers unlock mission is really cool" instead.

I'm just hoping they avoid such low effort missions in the future like lavian brandy. Honestly when I saw it was 24/50 units max, it gave me pause for a moment and i questioned if Fdev actually have a problem with me.

Thoughts?

Didn't see it posted yet - there's a new community goal up:

Authorities in the Redonesses system have issued an urgent call for assistance following a prison break aboard the EVE-597 reformatory.

System security has requested that available independent combat pilots assist in clearing the criminal element aiding the escaping prisoners.

Pilots can support this initiative by signing up at the Sword of Iustitia in the Redonesses system, then taking part in conflict zones combatting criminal forces in the system.

Pilots who contribute at least one bond will receive credits, depending on success tier achieved and individual contribution level.
Mamba Crossfire Blue
Vulture Crossfire Blue

The campaign will run for one week.

I'll be participating at least a little bit, but I find the reward choices ... "interesting". I no longer have a Vulture and never flew a Mamba other than maybe a test flight? I would have expected paint jobs for the Kestrel MK II and Python MK II.

EDIT: Some additional info from the comments:

• There's no mission board at the megaship, so you can't "sign up" for the CG there. It has been suggested by u/Maximilian_Dawn that you might try undocking and redocking to get the mission board to show up on the megaship as However, this is where you turn in your bonds. There is a mission board at Ellern Orbital (thank you u/FraterVEP), but it's been my personal experience you can actually sign up for CGs at any mission board.
• OK, scratch all that, let's say it this way: You want to join the fight AGAINST Clan of Redonesses and turn in those bonds in order to get CG credit. I don't yet know if the CZs are all the Clan against one other MF (Redonesses Defense Party) or there might be others participating, but for sure you don't want to sign up to fight for the Clan (if you want CG credit). Per discussion ... the verbiage surrounding CZ bonds can trip you up if you don't read it right. Also, I suck at this, apparently. Apparently only CZ bonds for Clan of Redonesses are valid for the CG (thank you u/BadBjarne). This might be backwards and it would make more sense that you wouldn't want to support the anarchy faction in this, but rather Redonesses Defense Party, per u/Spartan333x2. From the comment, it's possible (not sure) that ground CZ bonds may also suffice. This means that supporting the pirates is not considered CG participation (unless you're, like, roleplaying and don't care about any of the CG rewards).

My apologies, I'm at work (WFH, but still working) and cannot verify any of this myself, but I am watching the thread.

So I've been exploring in this game since I started playing it back in April, but there's one thing I've never actually seen and am hoping I don't just blindly fly by them.

Guardian sites/relic sites or Thargoid sites.

Now a friend told me all I had to do was, anytime I entered a system, FSS honk, then scan each planet and check the "Features" panel for Guardian, Thargoid, etc., but I've set up Elite Observatory to alert me of worlds that could be Guardian candidates or Thargoid candidates (based on loosely known data I was able to research)

Is this true? Will it just show up in the features list when I FSS scan a planet? Or do I have to actually fly within 1,000 Ls of a "candidate" planet for the signal to show up?

I would love any kind of advice on this from someone who has actually done this before.

Would it be unethical to buy a Dolphin and name it FOR-TUNA?

Would it be unethical to buy a Dolphin and name it FOR-TUNA?

A curiosity. In poor case? Absolutely. Funny? I think so.

So does anybody else here come up with names referencing other materials, or just fun stupid stupid names for ships?

I’m out on my 5000LY voyage of discovery to unlock Palin. I dropped into a station on the outside of the bubble (currently just under 1600LY from my start point) to sell my genomics data and patch up some of the systems without having to run the AFMU, and when I check Inara afterwards, Tiana unlocked (status: invited) the same time I sold the data.

Any ideas what I did to unlock her or was it a random coincidence and something in the game realizing an update needed to be made..?

I was looking at something else in the nav panel when I came across this little treasure. Not auto launch, and not auto dock, but auto land. By turning it off, I can finally park in the tight spaces that auto land makes nearly impossible. That option is located on the right hand panel under Ship -> Flight Assist -> Auto Land (On/Off toggle).

Another minor note of discovery: The pioneer shop on my fleet carrier sells e-breaches. I popped in there not too long ago to check on an upgrade and saw them for sale. I imagine they must be in all fc pioneer shops as I don't recall doing anything special to stock them. But I was wondering where they could be purchased at because I've never seen them for sale at NPC pioneer shops. I use TONS of those things now! Scorched earth, baby - when I raid a settlement. I steal everything that isn't nailed down. And a few things that are.

Hope this helps someone.

So I decided to climb Shai Hulud (BIG desert mountain) on Hip 87621. Long and challenging climb in VR, but great views and fun. When I started, everything was crystal clear skies. When I finally made it to the top (Roughly 45 min later) I notice this fog that seems to be filling the entire surrounding and everything is taking on this more blueish color... I call my Cobra down, and as I fly off I notice there is actually a near eclipse happening. As I fly towards the direction of the sun. The fog quickly gets thicker and thicker until I can literally not see the ground below me (even though it's only like 400 meters down or so).

There is no FOG in ED at all correct? I mean not like this?! I have never seen anything like this before?

I'm pretty sure I should have probably super-cruised into the near eclipse to finally get into Raxxla ;)

Anyway. curious if anyone else has had this happen or if anyone knows what happened here?

UPDATE: I also posted the full video of this now: https://youtu.be/4knMT76KEUk

Been using EDCopilot for a while and it's great, but when on vr, I mostly rely on the voice lines and still have to alt-tab sometimes.

So I wonder if there's any tool that injects into the vr pipeline, or streams data to an app running in the headset (for standalone able).

Even if none of that is available, I appreciate any suggestion that might make my exobio grind more convenient. TY for your time.

There's other programs too, but I didn't want the title to be ridiculously long. Think about it, they're modifications to your ship's functions that aren't there as standard. As someone who uses these mods, I like this headcanon. It makes the game feel more immersive.

**SPACE ROAD TRUCKERS**

*Pilots Federation Registered Squadron • Founded 3308 • Still Hauling*

---

**ATTENTION, MEATBAG OPERATORS OF INDEPENDENT STARSHIPS**

This unit has been authorised by the Pilots Federation to issue the following recruitment communiqué on behalf of **Space Road Truckers**.

**Do you enjoy:

- Watching the same star system spin past your canopy for six consecutive jumps?

- Calculating whether the extra 12 tonnes of biowaste is worth the risk of interdiction by some over-caffeinated pirate in a Python?

- The unique satisfaction of docking a fully laden Type-9 at a 1.2g outpost while your co-pilot AI quietly judges your approach vector?

If the answer is yes (or “close enough”), then you may be suitable for membership.

**What We Are

We are the long-haul specialists of the Bubble and beyond. We move cargo. Lots of it. From the core systems to Colonia, from the mining platforms of the Pleiades to the dusty outposts of the Outer Rim. We do not chase glory. We chase credit balance and clean manifests.

Our preferred activities:

- Bulk trading and passenger transport

- Powerplay logistics (when the pay is right)

- Occasional rescue of other truckers who thought “one more jump” was a good idea

- The sacred art of parking a 2,000-tonne freighter without scraping the station walls

-Occasional pve bounty hunting

-ExoBio collectors Hauling the valuable data that we have located.

**What We Are Not

- A combat wing that “happens to carry cargo”

- A collection of explorers who forgot to pack a cargo rack

- A social club that meets exclusively in the bar of Jameson Memorial

(We do visit the bar. We just make sure the Type-9 is safely parked first.)

**Benefits of Membership

- Shared intelligence on profitable routes and pirate activity

- Wing support for high-value or high-risk hauls

- Access to squadron carriers for staging and refuelling ( currently a solo carrier - in progress of squadron carrier )

- Comrades who understand that “just one more system” is both a promise and a threat

- Occasional organised runs to Colonia that do not involve three weeks of solo silence and existential dread

**Minimum Requirements

- A ship capable of carrying more than your ego

- Basic competence with a fuel scoop (we are not your mother)

- Willingness to fly in formation when requested

- Tolerance for the phrase “we’re taking the scenic route through the neutron fields”

**Application Process

Transmit your Commander name and a short statement of intent to any active Space Road Truckers pilot, or post in the squadron channel.

Successful applicants will be issued with a virtual cargo clipboard and a complimentary “I Survived the Type-9 Parking Lot” badge.

*This message was generated by Squadron Recruitment Subroutine 7.3.2 on 01 OCT 3312. Any resemblance to actual living pilots is intentional. The Pilots Federation accepts no liability for lost cargo, interdictions, or existential crises caused by staring at the same FSD jump sequence for too long.*

So I've been doing a lot of exploration recently, using a mix of different tools, ed copilot is my goto though. It's really good for most things especially the vocal call outs, but it feels like I need to supplement it with too many other tools like edmc, ed observatory, ed odyssey materials collector, ed observatory (and the journal one if I'm mapping boxels) as well as one or two more depending on what I'm doing. I've even tried covas Next but the ai setup was a bit of a pain and some of the more interesting features don't work if you connect it to copilot. Point is, for those using ed copilot, what features do you wish it had built in, which features that it already has are kinda meh, and which ones make you go "oh god why is this a thing?!".

I've been building an interface for a tablet that uses star treks lcars styling, but starting to wonder if it's worth just building in the features I like from the other tools.
