Rayman.
stop being cringe already dumbass or else. Then you wonder why someone blocked you


I do not wonder about it at all. I completely forgot those characters even existed.

AHSo far, my trip has been 77K ly long and I have made over 500 hyperspace jumps. I still have several K ly to go, before I am back in The Bubble.

  1. No new plants/life discovered
  2. few "new" star systems scanned but you can do that anywhere
  3. several first footfall's but that seems to be rather meaningless
  4. discovered (whatever that even means in this game) a neutron star - maybe not but that what the message said.
  5. no surprises of any kind (seems to be a concept completely missing from this game).
  6. Got one"what is that" but it's just a cluster of stars from an angle and not visible on the map.
  7. who ever programmed the landing radar or what ever it's called, deserves to be court marshalled
  8. repair limpets should be like ammo - 4 included in the controller and not in the cargo hold.
  9. 4 legged exploration ship - like trying to level a 4 legged table on a cobblestone street. LOL, ridiculous and time wasting design flaw.
  10. info box/window, top right, needs a scroller, so you can go back and read it again.
  11. not being able to swap tools on utilities mount yourself is a design flaw, especially on a exploration ship
  12. "set destination, go to sleep" would be nice. Mitigates the crushing boredom caused by jump, fuel scoop, honk, jump...
  13. EDIT: a rear-view "mirror" so you can see how plants magically grow and enemies are following

ARX bait - mandalay pre-built would fix it all.

I have been stuck at “master” in combat for weeks. I do tons of massacre and assassination missions.
Are there any tricks to gettting the most progress in comsat ranks?

Only kill ships that are at your rank or above as any that are below you do nothing to add to your combat rank. So, if you're currently at master then only kill ships that are ranked master, dangerous, deadly and elite. The higher the rank of the target the higher the rate of increase too so killing master-ranked targets will give you a fairly negligible increase but elite ranked targets will increase your rank the most.
Taking assassination missions etc may or may not provide targets that are ranked above you and, if they're not ranked at master or above, there really is no advantage to killing them. The best way is Anti-Xeno combat but if you're not geared out for that you'll die quickly.
After that, the best bet is probably hanging around compromised nav beacons and scanning everything. Only aim for elite ships and it'll start to increase slowly but surely.
With that said combat rank is, I believe, the slowest rank to increase.

The site below explains it pretty well with the actual figures:

Im not sure if it was fixed but doing high intensity combat zones on foot increased progress of normal combat space rank aswell. You need just grind for while.

AX folks: where’s the next best spot until Thursday? I would guess Mapon looks promising. I was just doing some massacre missions but dang it those eat your soul. There’s nothing quite like AX space combat.

It's super slow, do Combat Zones and as Bainsey7 advises look for the Elite ships in priority...
