Mac4Also, whoever came up with the idea of your SRV holding 4 pieces of cargo should of course be summarily executed $#@

The Scarab used to only have 2 cargo space. It was increased to 4 once the Scorpion came out, and they gave the Scorpion 2 cargo space.

Mac4We need an off-topic smiley

So, ahem. How does one go about gathering 25 occupied space pods? According to the wiki, they can be found in circumstances so general that it bears not mentioning.

(I guess one could run 25 missions for them and pay off the fines for not turning them in, but I was hoping for something less roundabout.)


If someone can help me help you, I have the memory of... well... bad.
Is there a way I can scour my logs for where I found loads of occupied escape pods on some offhand planet? Hell if I can remember the name, but there were a couple signals on this far-off planet that I ended up gathering a dozen escape pods just because they were there. I had to stop collecting because my Dolphin only had a small amount of storage and I had other things I was carrying.

It seems that once you have completed a conflict zone on ground if you go to the menu and re-enter in the game you will be teleported to the last station where you docked with your ship.

Disappointed.

You can try EDdiscovery - it parses all logs although you will need to figure out how to filter the data.

This was introduced with update 13... frontier love to mess stuff. If you enter your ship or SRV you can relog back to the settlement.(But leaving SRV near settlement while fighting will certainly get it blown up)

I am recalling ship, boarding , relogging , disembarking... Not as fast as menu log but far better than Supercruise passenger simulator.

You don't say. It's a feature!

Thanks for comments, folks. I'll figure it out, somehow.

That reminds me... does anyone even use the Scorpion? Personally I do far better with the Scarab in combat, not to mention every other circumstance.

I use the scorpion most of the time.
I literally hate from the depth of my heart, how the Scarab handles itself.
Never ever in my whole gaming life have I hated to drive a vehicle so much, as I hate the Scarab.
If it's not utterly necessary; I'd always prefer the scorpion.

Scarab is made for flying. Driving is secondary function

at colonia i noticed that when i´m encountering a settlement with a scorpion on a raid mission i get more under fire (by npc´s), sometimes very heavy, with a scarab it was more like combat practise. didn´t test that bevavior at settlements at the bubble.. so far.. think is the same..

I do agree the Scorpion handles significantly better. I started using kb+m for SRV controls and the Scarab is much less crazy than when I was using the HOTAS... unless you want to do aerobatics that is.

I guess I'm in the minority for hating mining with a passion. It was a struggle for me to even get the lvl 1 Inara badge for it. Not because it was difficult, but rather tedious.

What happened to the large profits that could be made by trading, or have I become greedy.

Used to enjoy searching out profitable deals and routes. Not anymore.

Will take forever to buy my Fleet carrier, what's the cheapest, or is the Drake for 5.000.000.000 the only one

Buying a carrier, you have to pay those 5bn to get the basic Drake-class one, other layouts are being sold as 'ship kits' for Arx. So, technically, all carriers are the same.

More than 1,000 components required for my next build, 726 yet to be collected.



It's nice that Inara can display the full extent of ED's insanity on a single page like that. It makes you think, is the gameplay I might get out of that build really worth that much grind? Probably not. I guess I'll play something else instead.
