Cephy Cyclops DevineFEEL SO GOOOOOD!!!

Hey Cephy, I took liberty to look at your logs to get an idea about the thargoid engagement and I noticed that you are fighting a lot of human cmdrs, as well. Is it that so many gankers out there, so one has to confront thargoids and humans at the same time? Thanks

It may be that from time to time, some A-hole on discord may trigger a rampage in which i go on murder sprees of very carefully selected targets, I DONT GANK RANDOM PLAYERS. I kill my selected targets aka:S-talkers, and i catch them with their pants down and nuke'em at their weakest. I prefer to take everything from them when they least expect it. To answer your question, yes. Because with me I give respect before you even earn it, i respect a person on the basic idea that all human beings should be respected first, that respect does not need to be earned but is intrinsic to being human. One loses respect, one does not command respect or impose it. So when someone repeatedly disrespects me on discord because they disagree about personal opinions they asked for. Then I do everything in my very limited power to make them suffer ingame as much as i can because its the only way i can strike back. One can only take some many B*** slaps before one goes on the offensive.

EpisparhPst!

NEGATIVE BRAVO ACTUAL... I pick my targets , my bookmarks of carefully selected carriers, they tell me where the bastards operate, to you the outside viewer it may seem like random ganks. That is understandable, it is not so. However if you have had an encounter with me and you have died unjustly, i will pay you triple what you lost. But if you sit there supporting the wrong squadron then sir you are a target and it is as simple as stopping all activities with the current group you are with to stop running into me often in open play. ALSO, one can simply block me if they see me as some random idiot messing up their gameplay. I understand it is annoying, but war is not fun, is not meant to be, not even in a game, specially when you are on the losing side.

So now that we got that out of the way.

I strongly beleive we should focus one stargoid at a time and instead of trying to "compress" the thargoid advance, we should go for taking back the systems immediately surrounding the storm, this will force the outter perimeter of that sphere of influence to make the decision of either continuing to expand or to compress and retake the systems near the storm. Think of it this way, if storm is headquarters, and edge of "green bubble" is frontline...them systems in between headquarters and frontline are supply line. Thus retaking systems in between, specially ones really close to the storm will pretty much mess the entire bubble up.

Notice also the big chunks of time in between small bunches of kills. When i find my targets i kill as many as i can then go back into cooldown mode. Since i play this game alone, my wars are always attrition battles. I give nothing and take as much as i can. I never give fair fights because number one there is always someone better, and number two there is no such thing as fair fights when you are waging 3 wars at the same time (2 human squadrons and 1 thargoid swarm).

May you be victorious in your fights since you not always are...

I still take more than i give, so for now I am happy.

Hi there, dont know if asking this before but, where is the geological signals? They have been replaced by some accident signals but didnt help me to find the raw materials I used to find with the detailed surface scanner and landing on a random place obiously is not working.

How you guys doit right now from the last update??

Thanks a lot and flight save

Geological and biological sites are no longer POIs. They are randomly distributed on the surface. You have a heatmap on your surface scanner where you can isolate signals per type and find where on the surface is more likely to have what you need.

First of all, thanks to answer so fast commander,

I have seen in so many videos about the high blue interface on the surface scanner, Im trying everything and do not show the same image.

can isolate signals per type and find where on the surface is more likely to have what you need.


I dont find anything like that, even in the controls options show nothing about isolate signals.

The youtube videos surface scanner:





My surface scanner: 





What am I doing wrong?? Do I forced to buy Odissey now if I want raw materials¿?

It is literally written above the targeting reticle:
[Q] SIGNAL FILTER [E]

So use Q to go backwards , E forward through all available modes.

If I see your picture right;
the planet you've chosen simply doesn't have any specific geological signals anymore.

But trust me, there are still plenty of planets out there, which offer different types of geological signals.

DSS will only give you heatmap for geological signals (vents, geysers, fumaroles etc) - not all planets have these. That does not mean they don't have raw mats. You can still find them through the same random distribution of outcrops, mesodiderites, metallic meteors etc as was always the case.

For geological signals: On entering a system, run your FSS and once complete you'll be able to see which bodies have geological signals in the system map. It will also give you the breakdown of what raw materials are available and in what proportion. Select a body that has geo-signals and run your DSS on it. This will create the heatmap (and give the signal filters that Epi is talking about if more than 1 geo signal exists). Once done, head straight down to the greeniest\blue area and fly low and slow over the area. You'll see them down there.
