Yeah, Elite's planets look more realistic than No Man's Sky, but NMS's planets look the way they do for stylistic reasons.

I'm not sure if Frontier ever decided if they wanted ED to be a simulator or a game. It is quite the mixed bag. I feel often the things that are accurately portrayed maybe don't need to be, and some of the things that are not probably should be.

It's kind of... sci-fi game.
I remember how it was in original '93 and '95 games... Gravity and accelerations were simulated well, without that fictional 'liquid vacuum' and speed limitations, so... technically it was correct, but combat was looking pretty awkward. And you had to spend years of ingame time in in-system travel as FTL movement was available only in hyperjumps.

I typed out a nice long paragraph but... meh. In essence, if accurately simulating something makes the game better, that's great. Otherwise, I would say work within the pseudo-science and be consistent about it so it is not just a bunch of "good ideas" thrown together without any forethought as to how they affect gameplay or fit/interact amongst themselves. Also for me, accuracy is nice but... fun>>accuracy. I think it is the opposite for FDev...

Any idea on how to hitch a ride to Colonia?

Try asking in only one place, for a start. Spamming the same question in multiple threads is unnecessary.

How about answering the question instead of being rude?

This is all I could find on Goggle, hope it helps.

Or you could always get an AspX or Krait Phantom and take the neutron super highway.

^^this!

Hopping a Fleet Carrier is ideal if you’ve limited game time - your ship will be heading for Colonia whilst you’re busy with RL stuff. During the cool down period, if you’re about, it’s an ideal opportunity to explore surrounding Systems - just make sure you know when the next jump is scheduled. Best to have a decent jump range for your ship in case you need to catch up with the carrier - 30 Ly or preferably more.

If you’ve the gaming time the path to Colonia is well worth taking a few days to complete. Head for Rohini (Eudaemon Anchorage) then the following -

Skaudai CH-B d14-34 - Sacaqawea

Gru Hypue KS-T d3-31 - Gagarin Gate

Boewnst KS-S c20-959 - Polo Harbour

Kashyapa - Vihara Gate

Bon Voyage Cmdr 07

Hello !

It is no longer possible to make one-off donations to the inara?
we can only take one subscription on patreon now?

Hello,
yes, but there is no problem if you will make a pledge and then cancel it anytime later, so it will be basically a one-off donation. I decided to move it completely to Patreon as there is less troubles with that.

You know, as a poor ol console player, I gotta look on the bright side. With no Odyssey in sight, it really gives me a chance to focus on the important things in the galaxy; like electing "Game Politician #7B" and turning in my bounties and mats for stickers.
