Re: 20,000 Ly Hops?

I had the same problem on my first route to Colonia. You can only plot max. 20.000 ly at a time, so anything above that and the computer won´t give you a route. Just pick some random system about halfway there, or just go like 2000 ly in the general direction and then try to plot again when the tota...

How to do Conflict Zones ?

Hello Commanders. Not much going on here in the Mercenary department, so due to a recent experience, I´d like to ask for a few tips on how to do well in Conflict Zones. Because it seems that I don´t really understand how they work... So I´ve done a couple of CZ in my Diamondback Explorer and did rea...

Re: Sci-Fi authors and Astronomy

Hm, so if we assume conventional sensors, working at light speed, then you see the target on your computers with 6.6 second delay. If you fire your lasers, it takes them as much time to reach that target. Let´s round up and say we have a 15 second delay (at 2 mio. km). That´s actually not so far off...

Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

You won't get much money if you just honk. You should DSS Black Holes, Neuron Stars, ELW, WW, HMC, Ammonias - all kinds of high-pay stuff. Otherwise you'd be disappointed on arrival. Yeah, I did that, but at some point, I just wanted to go home and do something different. Last night, I made it back...

Re: Sci-Fi authors and Astronomy

Hm, I think that depends on the tech level of that particular story. So for example, if they are using conventional weapons like in Battlestar Galactica, 2 million km is nonsense of course. But if we go in the direction of Star Trek with subspace sensors and tachyon weapons and stuff like that, I th...

Re: Route to Colonia - what am I missing ?

Thanks for the tips, I made it :) I decided that after Colonia, I would make a detour to Sagittarius A*, and on the way there, I faced a moral dilemma. While exploring a planet, I found these on the Way to Sag A: http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj243/Eugel75/20180319210849_1_zpssqxu2pjg.jpg Now, ...

Re: What are you doing (ingame) now?

At the moment, it´s jump, honk, scoop and repeat for me... I went to Colonia, from there to Sagittarius A*, and now I am on my way back home. And I am starting to wonder if exploring is really for me ... But when I get back, I will finally have enough money to buy a Python. Yeah, that keeps me going...

Re: Route to Colonia - what am I missing ?

Ah thanks, I thought it would be something like that. I was a bit confused because I unchecked the "20ly max" thingy...
OK, let´s see how long it takes to get to Colonia :D

Route to Colonia - what am I missing ?

Hello fellow explorers... I always wanted to go to Colonia, and I just picked up a bunch of well paying courier missions to Colonia and the surrounding systems, so I thought now is the time ! But I am having trouble with plotting the route. I fly a Diamondback Explorer, my jump range is 42 LY, I hav...

Re: How are you all interacting with other mobius players?

I have to say, I haven´t interacted a lot with other Mobius players yet. English is not my native language and I´m generally a rather shy person, so I don´t really feel comfortable to talk on discord. Also, I play mostly in VR, so text chat is also a bit difficult. But I met another player at one of...
