Greetings Commander Amylynn -o7-Welcome to the Mobius Sector - while the Galaxy maybe vast and daunting at first, it is there for the taking.
"Pick a light in the night sky and there you will find a story, thousands of years old, waiting to be told.." -anonEvery time I am out here in the black I am humbled and inspired at how truly emmense the scale and the beauty of our galaxay.
So a little about "meta-alloys" You can get these quickly from Fleet Carriers, more often than not, in the Deciate System - I would humbly suggest creating an account on
INARA its free and an amazing resource that alongside
EDDB and
Coriolis - ship builderWhen I was unlocking
Grandma Felicity, I bought 1 Meta Alloy from
Darnielle's Progress - in the
Maia System in the search boxed - just as
Commander tinnitus mentioned above.
It should be noted that the
Maia system is some 389 Light years from the
Deciat SystemA lot of these tools also seem emense and daugnting - however, the more you use them, the more that they make a lot of sense, as there is so much to learn, its kinda like matrix, in that you cannot be "told" what the matrix is, you can only discover it for yourself.
I use Inara to see where the
closest commodity is - just put in the commodity you are looking for and the system that you are in in the search boxes - it will then spit out a list of places that are selling that commodity, including Fleet Carriers, Planet and Orbital Basses - always check the landing-pad requirements as well as the "time" of the last known transaction.
If I could offer some introspection - if you have the ability to collect RAW, ENCODED and MANUFACTURED materials, if you have a vessel that is equipped with a Class 5 FSD, then I would humbly suggest collection the required materials for the
FSD V1 from the
Human Tecnology Broker The current price is
26x Tellurium
26x Electrochemical Arrays
28x Chemical Processors
18x Datamined Wake ExceptionsI wrote a
simple guide of sorts on how to get this device ( its amazing as it comes pre-engineered with both Long Range and Fast Boot Sequence ) all you need to add is the Effect "Mass Manager" and you have an Amazing FSD - also it doesn't cost the $5,000,000 space credits a Class 5A will set you back.
You will need to make two planetary landings with a ship equipped with an SRV - I would recommend a Medium sized ship as this is easier to land in closer proximity to the needed materials.
There is a lot to learn Commander, I still do this every day, its amazing out here and its yours for the taking.
Good Luck Commander -o7-
