CozmikalHello, does anyone know when frontier is going to allow console to pc transfers again?
It was said by one of their staff very recently in a livestream, that they're still working out just how much they will be able to copy over now that consoles are on a seperate server. (Chances are, you won't be able to have as much copied over as was possible the first run)
No dates or ETA given but there was an explanation for things at least.

Wil3yTig3rI have a question about the exobio statistics on Inara.
What's the difference between encountered and logged?
Encountered are for uniques (genus, species, variants) per sector. You need to bio scan once to get the codex entry but don’t need 3 scans.
Logged is 3 scans plus handing into vista. Most plants won’t be unique.

Do thar. scouts special effects affect interceptors, as well because it seems it takes longer to deal with them when regenerators are present?

Assuming that's correct, it's why my buddy wants a dedicated scout killer in the wing, which I'm considering fulfilling.

Jarvis JamesonPretty sure, yeah
According to https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Thargoid_Scout
"The Berserker is a more powerful iteration of the Marauder that can release an energy pulse that enhances the damage output of other nearby Scouts and causes them to fire a barrage of caustic missiles, while the Regenerator can restore the hull of other Thargoid ships, and the Inciter improves the movement and manoeuvrability of the other scouts". They differentiate here other Thargoid ships and other scouts. But I won't bet on that because it seems that Berserkers are affecting the thargons also and Inciters are making any thargoid ship move faster and be more agile.

Since I qualify for the global rewards, how do I know when that "Tier 3: Two weeks with a 3x value multiplier" is active?

HamagottryQuestion to anyone that can help me with regards to Community Events (in particular the last one with the ammonia worlds scans)
Since I qualify for the global rewards, how do I know when that "Tier 3: Two weeks with a 3x value multiplier" is active?
QuillmonkeyTodays Galnet has said that the multiplier rewards for carto data are active from today and will run for two weeks. Haven't tested that yet.
This was my first CG, and I was curious does anyone know whether or not that "3x value multiplier" on exploration data is good at any station the data is turned in at or do we have to go to Angus Manwaring station in Eta Cassiopeiae to get the bonus?
From what I read on the Frontier forums the consensus seems to be the bonus applies to data turned in at any station, but just wanted to confirm it with folks here... although, I could just go scan and map one small system and turn it in at a station other than Angus Manwaring to see for myself, lol.

When going into a maelstrom how does does the caustic damage work? Is it constant like when getting a missile but cannot remove it?
Also, can you use limpets in there (for when getting items for the Caustic Sink)?

NashenI've been getting back into the game in recent weeks, and I've missed out on some things sadly...

Yeah there’s a low-level constant damage and if you get caught by the explosive tharg mines then then the damage increases significantly. But limpets do work. A universal multi will allow you to repair, decontaminate and collect the mats. Make sure you have a nice cold ship and blow the mines away from distance.

Quillmonkey99% sure it’ll be all stations (they are called Universal Cartographics). But as mentioned above, not tried it yet.
VIPER55CG 3X for exploration data: Universal Cartographics, I did 5 systems around the bubble and got paid $32 Million. It's confirmed that the bonus is active.
Thanks for the feedback commanders. And aye. Confirmed as well.
Explored several systems and turned in data at Jameson Memorial and definitely was getting the 3x bonus.

Question. If I change the modifications on an engineered module will I lose all the mats used? Pretty sure the answer is YES, but thought I'd just check before jumping off to the Mats Trader once again. Thanks.
