Managing to get a carrier out there without even touching the map makes it seem like you've never actually ventured to there, only through there.


Say the Elite Explorer Level 3...

Let me know when you're finished...


Hey! I'm a console refugee, they don't have advanced ranks over there! I probably would've reached V already if the exploration stats carried over.
Also, are you sure you're reading that scanned systems map right? The core is "barely explored" because the star density is so high that we've only catalogued a very small percent, just like how the edges are highly explored near the north edges despite them not having many POI's. You can change the map from logarithmic to linear and see that the core has slightly higher exploration as the rest of the galaxy.

Consider visiting Col 285 Sector UD-G b12-2 or Vocovii(1.82G 'fun' warning). Those two around Cocijo have had their (surface) ports turned back on.

I'm not just going to silently sit by while you drop an amazing resource like that the site you just linked for those two systems. Tell me more! Haha
The site looks similar to Inara's Thargoid war listening, but looks like it's dynamic and maybe updates live/often?

How would you recommend someone (me) use this site to help find systems and AXCZs to practice in often? (I've been feeling hopeless about finding good AX combat recently, if not on Thursday or Friday.)

General link to the site (goes to overall system view)

It was created relatively early on to make tracking of progress and various going-ons around the different Titans easier, with more features and/or filters for differetn system features (spire sites, AXCZs, attacked/damaged/repairing ports, etc) added over time. Looking a bit more sparse now that there is only one Titan left (and a few stragglers around the Taranis remains), though.

Building more heavily shielded "tanks" with bigger and bigger guns... but no help? Maybe it's time to take the training wheels off - aka FA.
Should be easy for you, years and years of training and lots of shiny medals. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! Because I just wanted to complain as well that all three invasion systems have been cleared by, checks time, Friday evening WTH?!? Wasn't it until Saturday evening at least or Sunday morning, so that you could have a chance to join in on the fun on a weekend day?

You should be "thanking" Frontier for making the invasions so pitifully weak (and low in number) that players just end up taking them out in less than 2-3 days.

I'm not expecting those two counterstrike ports to last much longer either, maybe they'll be active throughout Saturday. And the one with nearly 2G of gravity might be a little slower because it kind of messes with flight.

I'm not sure what that was about either, and I'm just not going to comment on it.

EchoNovemberDelterWhat's funny is that the stellar forge seems to generate stars at a 3:1 ratio of what they should be, despite claiming to be 1:1 (you can see this in sections of real star data in the core systems or nebulae)

Would you please elaborate? What is your reference with respect to “what they should be”?

ThinderAnd now the Modified Shard Cannon... The Anaconda can take 6 X of them thanks to a Experimental Weapon Stabiliser already mounted on the ship, after that, engineering can begin.

There's a great deal of confusion as to which material is needed for those once arrived at the broker...

Wiki says 4 Germanium and 2 Power Converter, the broker requires 13 Carbon and 11 Power Transfer Buses, So I had to go to the nearest Material Trader (1 Jump) and call in the Carrier where my Power Transfer Buses are in stock.

Are you sure you have got the Modified Guardian Shard Cannon, and not the regular Guardian Shard Cannon unlock?

You're right. I'll go back to Mbooni and try to figure WHY I couldn't see them, there was only ONE type I could see, my mistake.

>>>

OK. now that's no funny. I made sure I unlocked the right weapon, materials are gone but the weapon still doesn't show unlocked, I wonder if it's worth doing it all over again including the trip to the Guardian site.

This time when I unlock it, I'll take a screenshot, just in case I need to write a ticket to support, this wasn't normal.

Go to your outfitting screen while docked there. The mod shards should be there to equip.

Modified weapons are purchased, not unlocked. You bought one, it'll be at the station ready for installing. If you want more than one you'll need to purchase them one at a time.

They DONT SHOW unlocked like the two other types I unlocked previously but my material is gone.

The other types shows Yellow checked in blue on the top right corner, those didn't but that's funny now I got one in my Carrier outfitting two hours away with transfer so something happened since I left the broker.


Anyway now that I'm here (Guardian site) I might just as well get the blueprint and Guardian Technology Component, I'll see later when I'm back if I can purchase them at Mbooni or another broker.

Done, I'm on my way back to Mbooni, only have to collect Germanium...


Shard
Mbooni

The only way I can explain that is a glitch/lag in the Server.

At Mbooni broker, you got to unlock the first device then you can purchase them from any other Guardian broker.
