What are you doing (ingame) now?

[Dudley]

You're whinging about 15 mill ??? I have lost almost 75 in the last 4 days. (Thanks Dawg) And Three GOOD pilots.

I must admit, there was a sea of red triangles on the scanner.. they did look a little upset..

Was it something I said..?

Hey.. I turned up..

Granted, a little late and maybe in the wrong place, but I was there..sort of.

Talk to the hand......

Thank you, Sir.

I managed to get some on Yu Somethingorother, but I will need some more so I'll check out Jera. I stacked up my Cutter with Rapid Fire Pulse mods because the AI is shit with power management and I enjoy being in the fighter (I'd heard some moaning about it, but I quite like the Taipan, maybe it's only good for pilots who suck). Alas only one laser has Phasing Sequence and I need to balance out the colour symmetry because I'm sad like that. I'm also too tight to spend £1.

It's a shame you can't add Experimental Effects to a weapon after the fact, I only wanted a half decent roll to apply the effect to, but all the subsequent rolls I got were utter shite.

Moose_Head, and others that are looking: Since the new Journals in 2.2 There is a lot more Planetary Data being sent to EDDN/ROSS which allows us to collect and search data on where to find Materials on Planets based on Percentage.

EDDB.IO now has a Bodies feature that allows you to search for things like Arsenic and Technetium near where you are and can give you an idea in percentages of what you will find on planets. Check the Bodies section on the EDDB site.

@Moose_Head!, you're welcome bud.

@Loriath, thanks for adding that info

Thanks for the tip, I had checked on EDDB and while I can't recall the names, the first planet or two were giving me the finger in regards to finding Technetium. I got some on Yen Nu B 1 eventually. I'm normally quite lazy and go for planets with a close arrival distance, but after failing to find any I thought I'd change tack, not that it makes any difference but I felt the need to vary something.

On one planet I happened upon a mining POI, but I would say it was more POS. Has anyone ever found anything worthwhile on a planet surface without a tipoff pre-spawn? I mean what are they thinking; "Hmm, let's see the likelihood of finding one of these is rare, so it'll take on average x amount of time to find one, that time spent bounty hunting/mission running would net around five million, so I think putting few minerals with a value of around six hundred credits will do nicely."

It's not even worth the effort to stop, kill the defences and destroy the mining units to scoop up the fragments, all the while having to call your ship back in so you can store this precious cargo.

I stupidly dared to think that I may be lucky enough to get some Technetium at one of these places, it seemed to make sense to me, that hope was short fucking lived. I don't know what the fuck they're smoking at FDev, but I don't want any. Genuinely beginning to wonder if the new mission payouts was actually a bug.

Thanks for listening

[Loriath]

Moose_Head, we find a lot of Palladium, Gold, Taffeite and other stuff on the surface in POI's. Its not get rich quick amounts, but enough to pay for some fuel and even makes driving Buggies off of cliffs and exploding a net positive. All depends on our moods. The A-Team is fickle. We do what we want based on no particular thing, but some of us have some traits that override our play.

For example, I love to fly the buggies, and will often attack ships with it. Tor will often try to kill me by taking my competitive spirit a bit for racing the buggies and lead me to a cliff. Other times, he just kills himself to watch things explode Kharma tends to lumber along looking for things, and Dawg, well, he chases his tail or someone elses

When I'm looking for prospecting materials, I use EDDB first. I'll then go to the planet with the highest percentage of that material that's within 100 ly of my location. I'd rather spend a little more time flying and less time driving around. It's worked out pretty well for me so far.

Going back to Sidey!

I been wanting to start over for awhile, and i think that time has come. I got 34 days of work vacation that I need to use or lose, plus being closed for 2 weeks over the Holidays is going to let a ton of time behind the stick. I figure its a good time for the reset now.
