What are you doing (ingame) now?

The galaxy map is all but worthless with VR. I dread having to go into the map to find anything with my headset on. They definitely need to put some time into reworking the map function. On a good note, it looks beautiful with the headset on. Surrounded by stars! Ohhh... Awww...

Well jeez, thanks guys! I was expecting some nugget of wisdom that I'd been doing the galaxy map all wrong, but turns out it is just... broken lol.

Its the reason I wear VR only when bounty hunting as plotting routes is nigh on impossible

It's really not THAT bad guys. When I jump into the map (in 3-D), the first thing I do is use my right stick to tilt the map so that I"m looking straight down on it. They I use a hat on my throttle to navigate over to my destination (assuming it's not a bookmarked location), and zoom in and out (mouse wheel on my throttle) until I can click on the marker for that system. Select with a button on right stick, toggle over to create route, done. No, it's not as easy as a mouse in 2D, but absolutely workable. I did an exploration trip recently, creating 1000ly routes while in the HMD. Slower, yes. doable, yes.

Setup your bindings and practice with different configurations in 2D until you settle on what works best for you.

What I'm doing is apparently following in someone's footsteps:

This is almost half-way between Azrael and Jaques, in a small field of neutron stars.

Did another run last night. Less lucrative at 58. So 4 runs, 239, average of 59 or so. One more and the cutter is paid for and I am back to pre-Cutter balance. Dunno if I have it in me, but I may be able to pull 2 out of it. That would mean I am ahead instead of behind.

Or I may loose my mind and take the Vette into a RES and kill the entire population of a system to purge the monotony out of my system. I am starting to understand "Bob" more and more each run.

BTW, there is one planetary station in Shinrarta. Here is the view from just outside the station..

I dont even want to know what kind of favors you had to do for it

I'm off work today (yay me!). Putting the fed ranks on the back burner for now, gonna see what all these engineers are about. Off to Maia I go...

Spend months working with support to fix bugs and casually ask in passing about a paintjob you should have had, and to make up for it, they toss you a couple others. It is the rare Lave Con paintjob.

Have fun in Maia but beware the aliens lurking.....

Tried mining for the first time in a year and a half, and tried limpet controllers for the first time.
Of course, I forgot to buy limpets!

Then I tried using two collectors at once, and they expired very quickly. I think I remember something about this being a bug over a year ago - have they not fixed it yet? When I just used one collector, it lasted a long time, and even followed me from asteroid to asteroid.

Still working of my Fed ranks... just made Warrant Officer.

What is of interest in the Vega and Beta Hydri systems?
