MeowersDoes naming a Python 'Monty' insults it, or it insults its owner by accusing of... having a vacancy in imagination department?

(yeah, Monty Python is awesome, but... hey... it's such a commonplace name for a Python)


Monty Python is a great group which inspired the development of a great programing language

Anyway, that drifted way too much from the discussion board topic. If you quote me , move it to general talk.

Well it looks like mission are finally working for me, however I'm not getting any Mercenary rank improvements other than the tiny amount I get for killing scavengers.

Shouldn't mission rewards be counting towards the Mercenary rank?

I think mercenary ranks works the same way as combat ranks AKA you get points that depend on relation between your rank and the victims rank. Don't expect it to be increased from killing low ranked enemies if you are mid or high rank and certainly not from missions.

Oh ok, so it's purely combat based when on foot. I'm still working on my gear so actively avoiding fights at the moment.

Thanks for the heads up.

Fastest way to progress mercenary rank is through High CZ - all targets are rank 6 and you get a lot of help from team mates

So I've been doing some flower picking because foot engineering and fighting is busted. Even this is broken. After days of wondering why some things are impossible to find I finally found a smoking gun.

The heatmap is BS. The only thing that seems to be even remotely accurate is that the brightest shade of blue has a decent probability of finding the organism. That's the only thing. Planet covered 3/4 in blue? Too bad. That organism likes smooth rounded hills but the planet is actually 99% sharp jaggies.

Even if you're in an area of high concentration (very light blue) if the terrain is unsuitable nothing will be there, but it is still your best hope.

Behold the most obvious example I have found: a bright yellow tall mushroom grass on a dark beight/brown turd of a planet. Look at how much of it is shaded blue. Should be easy to find right? Nope. Only ONE cluster amongst those 2 circled areas in top right corner.



;tldr Go to areas shaded brightest blue on the heatmap and hope you get lucky and the terrain is what the organism likes

Soo... I guess weapon components can be found at military installations, but what about tungsten carbide?

Storage. Its in lockers and laying about.
Industrial complexes are best for finding storage buildings.

This helps ya find stuff

So where is the thing I want?

BTW, I found Irregular (Threat 3) that you have to scan for with the Surface Scanner also had a fair number of Weapon Components along with drugs.

Anyone using Manticore Oppressor? The description says rate of fire 6.7/s but my observations are that it fire 1-3 shots per second. I think it might depends on the fps.

Yeah I felt like this picture when I noticed that the pirate shoulder decals are missing.
