Valorian Axten[quote=AH][quote=Valorian Axten]I'm just chiming in to brag about my first Traveller rank! I'm en route to Colonia, and halfway there. Without any means of repair I'm going the slow FSD route, 40LY at a time, great surveying opps though!
By the way, is there any actual reliable way to route this far and have carriers in between with repair facilities?
I'm on my way there in my FC ERGO. I'd offer you a free lift and repairs but with FC jump delays of up to an hour, you'll get there before me.
Frustration be damned

Rayman.What is this? odyssey 1.0 grind materials simulator?The Frontier Circle Of Grind.
First, the credits were super grindy. Then, at some point, they upscaled the credits payout, but around that time, the engineers appeared with their horrible materials grind. Now, the materials have become easier to get, giving way to a new kind of grind.

Well, it is not for them to learn. The player base need to learn and teach them. Instead

Anyone else having the same issue. Pre-PP2.0, rival power ships would very occasionally be found around nav beacons, but after 10 systems and over an hour of scanning every single ship in the system, not a single rival power ship is to be found... how do I find these illusive ships?
Same experience, same problem. Killed a dozen random pirates, but nothing rival power.

Head to one of the Power Strongholds (NOT the HQ one) - find the carrier group and you should find plenty of rival power ships attacking the Stronghold Carrier - blast away. Someone pointed me in the right direction. Managed to complete all 11 in under 10 minutes.
Happy hunting O7

Glad i wasnt there back then. Gambling was very fun back then /s
GoffWhat do you expect? Everything in this world is ruled by physical equanimity, you got one good new ship but it needs to be balanced by PP2.0 grind. All is perfect in ED.
My expectation: Getting in there, kill everyone, including allied power npcs and get the data and repeat a few times and go back to other tasks
Reality: Waste the weekend for one thing

Taffymani am having a problem with sound and frame shift jump taking forever anyone else with the same?
Same. Before, it used to crash (no server connection) when the jump took that long.
Also, starting the game takes a lot longer than before (spinning orange ship image and text).

Not now, but generally, I'd associate this with low connection to server.

The same here. It started happening after release of the manda. You could jump further but jumps would take longer. Seems everything takes longer now I was looking for one piece of raw iron for an hour and had to visit 3 different planets before it was spawned. On the bright or dark side more people are playing ED than Starfield. In the dream world both games should be merged together.

Starfield? Never heard of it and one game is enough for me.

Rayman.Glad i wasnt there back then. Gambling was very fun back then /sMe neither. 'Grindy credits' stuff is what people who were here for a longer time told to me. I've created my account four years ago (Almost. Night from 6 to 7 January '21), and realising that I can trade even slaves, drugs and battle weapons, but can't obtain a simple piece of periodic table raw materials, gave me a fair amount of perplexion. And of course that circle of pain, where you rolled three times to get the 99% done and seven more times to finish the job. But then I was already accustomed to grindy games and 'seemingly random' but secretly rigged rolls, so not seeing the option of 'your module gets destroyed during the procedure with ...% chance' was already good.
