Brains In The Anal Region
Posted: Fri Aug 11, 2017 8:30 am
Don't you just love Red Dwarf quotes With the subject title I am referring to myself.
I intended to spend an hour progressing my own cause and 3 hours for oom, in the end I spent the full 4 hours trying to sort my own aims out and if I had a brain I would be dangerous.
I want to get engineers for FSD distance up to level 5, but at the moment I am still at level 4 trying to find everything I need for a level 4 upgrade. Found the Mangenese last night with no problem and also scanned a few wakes for the Eccentric Hyperspace Trajectories, but with no luck. Asked the ever helpful JohnLuke for the best place to find the suitable wakes and he pointed me in the right direction, so this morning off I go.
I scanned countless wakes and wasted loads of time but never found the ones I needed........... but I did. You see when the scan said Wake(YR 8383674 whatever), I expected it to say Wake(Eccentric Hyperspace Trajectories). When it finally dawned on Mr Thicky here that the information in the brackets related to the ship that left the wake(I think). I looked in my inventory and found that I already had 6 of the wake data I wanted. Oh that's great thought I, lets make it a dozen and I will be on my way. So again I scan countless wakes and no luck, still only 6 in my inventory. Darn these are proving hard to find. Then it dawned on Mr Thicky. Maybe it does not warn you when you have no room for more data in your inventory, so does not collect any more. Yep that proved to be the case, so having wasted a few hours I finally got the number of wakes I wanted, and turned my attention to getting the Chemical Distillery's that I need.
Back to base, collect my combat ship, find an anarchy system, get to the navigation beacon, start laying waste to trading ships. In fact in the whole hour plus I was at the beacon I only saw 5 type 7's, 1 type 6, 1 Hauler and no chemical distillery's from any of them, so out of frustration I spend a while shooting down anything that comes remotely within range, and after a long while, still did not find what I needed. So I went home with my tail between my legs and gave up.
Sorry guys (generic) not a thing done for oom today, but will focus purely on oom later.
