1 Dark knightHowdy Cmdrs,
Got a bit of a headscratcher,
Collecting guardian materials from various starports etc and now back in home,
on Starport Services, Technology broker lists my materials, however,
How do i remove/discard them from my cargo hold without losing them on technology Broker's goods list ?

Want to get back out with an empty cargo hold.
Any advice would as always be appreciated.

o7 Cmdrs



As others have stated, there are cargo items, and there are materials (which are stored in some magic-bag-of-holding or something).

Almost all the tech broker items that require cargo are "unlocks" rather than purchases, so you need to plan ahead of time, get your materials and cargo and then unlock what you need. Unless you have a fleet carrier to store the excess cargo you are best off just selling it as it's fairly easy to come by if/when you want to unlock more items.

The only exception to the above rule is Osmium, because someone in FDev forgot they had a rule. But those are for items nobody ever needs to use anyway.


Cmdr's,

Thanks for the advice.
I will sell em and plan it differently.

o7 and thanks again

4 Carrier Jumps trip to HIP 36601, there I can farm 4 high Grade RAW Materials in the same system, way faster than doing Robigo Runs.

HIP 36601 body C1A ---------- Polonium
HIP 36601 body C1D ---------- Ruthenium
HIP 36601 body C3B ----------Tellurium
HIP 36601 body C5A --------- Technetium

For other materials we have:

OUTOTZ LS-K D8-3 body B5A --- YTTRIUM
OUTOTZ LS-K D8-3 body B5C --- ANTIMONY

And

System: HR 3230 Planet: 3AA. Selenium

So we supposedly have 10 more days to wait until we can get our hands on the Mandalay...

ScubadogHey, now, be nice. Some of us call Colonia 'home'. I migrated there 10 years ago, never regretted it.

Sorry, my message was aimed for ARX promoters.

If it were addressed to me then I hope they would never play it.

Seems I'm hopeless at finding planets with exo sites, where should I be looking and how do I work the sampler?
A video guide would be helpful

Use https://www.spansh.co.uk to plan a (round)trip. It will list the systems and planets.

It was not but I like the answer.

Are you performing detailed surface scans of planets? While exploring, I've found that the FSS detecting bio and geo presence on a planet is hit and miss for determining if you should bother visiting the planet, but a DSS of the planet reveals everything and where it can be found. In fact, you have to do a DSS to determine areas where the biomass can be found, otherwise you are searching blind and relying on luck to find anything.

Going back to stuff that was discussed here just a few days ago…
RawnuQuestions for Fleet Carrier owners:
(1) How did owning an FC change your playstyle (if at all)? What is now different for combat, trading, exploration, mining etc.?

For me, the biggest change has been with respect to trade CGs. Now, instead of doing many medium-range trips (or hoping to find someone with their own FC looking for help), I can just load up my FC with as much of the CG stuff as I feel like, at any station that has a good stock at a decent price, then move the FC and unload at the target station.

Other than that, not much has changed. It is, of course, very nice to have all the ships and modules at hand, without having to wait for them being transferred. (Especially important because I tend to swap modules a lot, and the module storage limit is woefully low, so I have to use several “storage yard” ships.) Likewise, it is very nice to have somewhere to store cargo I might want to make use of later.

I have not taken my FC for an exploration trip yet, as I got it shortly before the Thargoid War started, so there was always too much content I did not want to miss out on.
Rawnu (2) What do you wish to have as additional options for your FC (outfitting, customization etc.)?

Well, everyone mentions the missing ability to transfer tritium from the cargo hold directly to the fuel depot. I’m missing that, too
Other that that, I don’t really feel like I need more FC options. More interiors to visit would be nice, of course, but (like it has been said in this thread later) right now that’s a general issue with all starport-like entities, not FC-specific.
Rawnu (3) Did you ever regret having an FC? (e.g. because of maintenance costs or lack of feeling "alone" in your one ship)

Nope, never. Maintenance costs have become a non-issue with the AX combat payouts, and if I want to “feel alone in my ship”, I can always take an extended exploration trip while leaving the FC in the Bubble.


ThinderWe talk a lot about our wish lists but is there any way to pass those ideas to Frontier Developers?

There’s this subforum of the official ED forums. It is, of course, anyone’s guess if anybody from the FDev staff bothers to look there nowadays.


Miner Willya pointless lift that works like no lift ever has (select your destination before entering, even though there is only ever one destination), and why only one destination on any station

My guess is, the idea was that we eventually do get multiple destinations. Whether this actually ever happens is another matter.

BTW, the silliest ‘lift’ is the one at the FC command deck. AFAICT all it does is turn you 180 degrees. Apparently FDev could not implement a better access control device before the deadline…

And yes, I would love to be able to see more of the stations’ and starports’ interiors, and random NPCs doing their stuff around them.
