I went to one of the pristine multi-hotspot platinum rings and hoovered up 60 million in like 1H 10M (including hauling) in my python, that's gotta be a new record

Welp, I got that Guardian FSD booster and a moderately engineered conda - seems silly to not gallivant across the galaxy looking at the sights. Y'all can probably guess the first stop

Apparently they blocked off a bunch of systems from Barnard's loop towards the Seagull nebulae, so ... I guess the space madness leads in a different direction!

Gonkish posted:Engineers have always been to the detriment of the game. That they're somewhat less grindy than they originally were doesn't change that fact. I only bothered to unlock Farseer for the FSD, gently caress the rest. I do hope they'll spend some more time on base designs etc. seeing as we'll have missions going to them, but knowing frontier that won't happen  Getting out of your chair in VR and walking around is pretty cool.

I got one of those FSDs before the "rebate" expired on them, I need to drop it onto a DBX along with a guardian fsd booster to see how well it works, might replace my Anaconda for space madness I just need to find my way back to the bubble first

kemikalkadet posted:yeah it's fine for that but if you're doing a couple hundred jumps out before you get to the place you want to start exploring, then it's really nice to have a big scoop that can top you up in the time it takes to get out of the overheat zone while you line up the next jump. When I'm going really long haul I want to be constantly jumping and having to slow down to scoop annoys me. I have the biggest scoop on my conda and it's pretty nice

I bought the "all expansions" pass years ago because I'm an idiot so I'll have to try it out E:D has steadily improved over time, and it still scratches that itch I get every few months, so I'd say it was worth it.

Can't argue with that, really. The only thing I rushed to get in on was that discount on the pre-upgraded FSD, other than that, I only got the guardian FSD booster and into engineering a few months ago, and went on exploration binges in a 65 Ly conda after that. Looking forward to seeing the new planets and the breathtaking views this game can generate from time to time.

busalover posted:Is mining still nerfed? Last time I played, you looked up some websites showing triple hotspots, went there and made a decent income. Then there was a nerf? Idk I feel like playing again, but if there's no new additional trading gameplay-loop, I'm less enthused. Platinum, while nerfed, is still steady money.

Even an AspX can make more mining in a plat hot-spot, I think? I easily did 30+ mill an hour in a python a few months ago, and 40+ in a conda, and that was without poopsocking

Ambaire posted:Is there any way to transfer modules or ships between commanders? I started playing my second account (the free Epic one) but getting a decent ship is such a grind by default, not to mention all the needed engineer stuff. I just wanna give it my DBX explorer so I can go out into the black and still do stuff in the bubble with my main. Mine som platinum, drop it off (abandon) for your alt (in a wing or whatever) and have the alt sell it for cash. That's what we used to do to bootstrap people in the olden days, I think it still works?

Tommy the Newt posted:If you know someone with a fleet carrier you can twink commodities easily, you can drop off a bunch of stuff then set the sell price at 5% of the galactic average - it's close enough to being free to be worth it versus manually scooping stuff in space. I think there's about 1000 tons of platinum on my carrier for boostrapping. drat, that's a neat trick. I generally play solo (or in a small group), and none of the people I play with have fleet carriers

Inspector Hound posted:It's not a bad strategy! Coming at the core from any angle other than straight bubble--->core, on the disk, will net you new systems. Try adjusting again, maybe orbiting the center for a bit or plunging straight "down" through the disk. Yeah, I'm still above the plane and getting some more unknowns (including some water planets  ) Might do a dogleg to the side. Current destination is one of the nebulas 'thataway'
