There's a bug right now where module priorities are getting randomly reset to 1 some of the times I enter or exit an instance. And I'm flying an unengineered Vulture right now. I found this out when I got interdicted, deployed hardpoints, and immediately shut down.

Also when you dock take a quick look and see if any easy missions are offering high-tier mats in the right category, since you can trade those down if needed.

On my first longish expedition after Horizons, I was nearly out to the Heart & Soul nebulae when I ran smack dab into a moon. I survived, but at 17% hull. I don't think that was before they made system entry safer for binary systems, so I was terrified through the rest of the trip. But I made it back without taking any damage. What I didn't know was there are secret asteroid bases in each nebula I could have repaired at.

Larry Parrish posted:So I've kind of finally got the hang of exploration, flying my dumpster fit Diamondback Scout around the periphery. I got about 16YL range with the beefy 16T fuel tank so until I can afford the best in slot stuff that pushes it up to 30-40 range, that's pretty good imo. Anyway, just got my scout rank and made it out to Felicity Farseer, but what the hell is a meta-alloy and where do I find it? I assume it's a planetary thing which is fine because I have an SRV bay although I havent used it yet

The bubble is a lot more obvious when you switch view modes on the galaxy map. Particularly the political ones. I finally made it to Beagle Point! 1595 jumps via a med-length route. Eight and a half months.  Maybe I'll come back eventually.

I think they're one step before that. The easy way to get initial money is to go to a low-hazard resource site, find conflicts between security and pirates, and shoot pirates that are near death. This gets you easy bounty money, which will soon be enough a first upgrade. That can be a hauler or adder for road2riches, or whatever path you'd like to take.

EvilMerlin posted:Jesus... how long did that take you? I'm finding in my A-rated DBE (27LY per jump), doing 1000 LY takes about 2 hours or so each way. That has included a lot of honking and FSSS. Going off the flight log heatmap in my EDSM page, getting to Beagle took me 50 days of flying with a mean of 32 jumps per day.

Libluini posted:Just in case someone doesn't know, the combination of DSS and SRV is easy mode for raw mat collection. Move around until you find a planet with geo POIs and land at them to collect tons of high-end materials. Crystalline-type biological signals are also huge. It's a giant field with hundreds of units of one rare or very rare element. I went from 10 Tellurium to 250 in a short time. I don't know if there's an external site tracking those, but the codex should list a couple examples per region.

A Salty Affair posted:Sorry for the off topic post but I've got a quick question for you guys. My only ship right now is a Krait Mk2 built for combat and I was debating buying a Krait Phantom to travel long distances. Is it actually worth it to buy the Phantom and have a separate ship for travelling or would it just be better to buy a separate set of modules for my Mk2 and just change them out when I want to travel far? If it helps, I don't want to min-max or any of that stuff, I just want to have a ship that can do at least 50 ly in a jump. For your idea, it looks like an exploration setup with slight engineering and Guardian booster, the MkII gets 51.84ly vs Phantom getting 57.45ly on the same module layout. And then would need to swap out literally all the modules to get back to combat-ready. Like suggested above, just getting the Guardian booster will help a lot if you don't want to juggle ships, either.

A bit more than half-way around the galaxy:  Adding in first discovery bonuses, might end up getting most of the buy price after a full year out in the void

Their recap + FAQ thread, by the by: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/fleet-carriers-content-reveal-recap.540062/ (e;fb) 1 hr spool-up + 1 hr spool-down per jump and no cartographic means it's useless for explorers, except a couple at noteworthy PoIs for repairs/rearms (whatever extra that adds up to)

Floppychop posted:The new demand/price thing is just baffling to me. It makes very little sense, even from a "muh immersion" perspective.  Selling, say, 6000 of these would have 3078 selling at 0.06 and 2922 selling at 0.05, making an average price of 0.055 or so.

Polo-Rican posted:Is there a trick to finding good planets for mining? Read a bunch of tutorials on mining, and they all say step one is to find planets with "pristine" rings. Great, no problem! But then we spent at least 2 hours flying around last night, jumping to random systems, and couldn't find a single planet above "low."

On a different mining note, late-comers to the deep space support array (carriers being stationed around the galaxy for explorer repair/supply) are finding that the new nerf has drastically reduced the viability of mining tritium, possibly by 90%: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/hrr6nz/dssa_initiative_under_threat_from_massive_tritium/

I run EDDiscovery when I'm exploring and recent versions of that will have a little $ marker on valuable (terraformable+) planets and list it in the grid when you scan:  Running a client like EDD or Market Connector also lets you add systems to EDDN and EDSM, big player-run initiatives to gather explored data.

I don't think it's changed much recently? The checklist as I remember: Best FSD, at least somewhat engineered for range (+ mass manager) A-rated powerplant, possibly downsized Everything else D-grade and downsized for weight. Detailed Surface Scanner Biggest Fuel Scoop you can fit Big Guardian FSD booster Small shield Planetary hangar Two AMFUs (optional but handy, especially for neutron jumps) Supercruise Assist (optional but I wish I had one) Heat Sink Launchers (optional but a good "whoops" button)

Xik posted:Can you explain? Have I been slowly throttling down out of super-cruise like a chump when I could be smashing into my destination like the kool aid man? 1) Enable supercruise assist 2) Once established, throttle back up to 100%, out of assist range 3) When ETA drops down to about 5-6 seconds, throttle back into assist range (you will be coming in very quickly) 4) Assist reactivates, realizes you're in range to drop, and drops you in normally without caring about speed
