I believe it's only planetary bases at the moment, a select few in the Pleiades I believe. I could be wrong, I'm only 75% certain about that.

CG rewards: "Unlocked at Military, High Tech, and Industrial Planetary Bases"

If the CGs had reached the next tier then maybe they'd be more freely available... Sadly not though. Hopefully the current Thargoid-related CG will do better.

Thanks guys, I'll take a look after work. Don't expect to do much killing with just the missiles, but I would love to get my hands on the scanner.

I believe in an SRV it is actually you.   When your ship blows up in an srv you are still alive.  Stranded and screwed but still alive haha.   When your sev blows up you R.E.M. lock to space and your ship grabs you.

Mind you,  this is based on random reading across the months.  I haven't looked into this specifically.  So no idea if the sources are any good,  or if I even remember correctly haha.

But makes sense.

In fighter it is telepresence

I think trying to get any sense into how it is working is hopeless from the start. FD made a horrible mess out of it for gameplay reasons.

This is true.   Build the game first, wrap the lore around it.     The lore isn't as clean, but the game is balanced.   Same reason our lasers only have 3km of range instead of thousands, and you can still hear other ship engines on flybys even in space

Not sure about that, as I found the goodies at a planetary military base near Inara. I think it may well be all surface ports that are military, high-tech and industrial. Basically if you want to get them you need to have Horizons at this point as it's surface-only supply.

The telepresence thing is way down the list for suspension of disbelief with ED. When lore helps to make it immersive, great, but I gave up on needing it to make sense at basic flight dynamics.

FrontButtHere we go. Despite what my song said, I have 51 jumps (using jet-cone) to reach the closest outpost and only 12 or 13 charges to replenish my 4E (that's 5 min worth) oxygen. Synthesis takes 20 seconds, so I have about 4.5 min between them to use as effectively as possible. In about 4min, I can average about 5 jumps, taking into account charging my FSD, Scooping, and supercharging. If it were only that, I wouldn't sweat it. Biggest issue is, my FSD is down to about 46%, so every couple of jumps, it will randomly malfx, and take precious seconds I don't have to reboot. The way I see it:

I get to close to a sun, even once... I'm dead.
Get to a close to a neutron.... Super dead.
Did my maths too wrong... Dead.
Ineffectively pace travel and scooping... Pushing it, but probs dead.
If the station is too far from dropping in... deaders.

So any tips from the crowd who love living life on the edge, I will take them now.


with multi-crew your ship would be parked somewhere...i wonder what would happen...

It's you in the SRV. When you lock your ship it says Unmanned CMDR Name.

JQDoes anyone happen to know where the Xeno scanner and anti-thargoid missiles can be found?


At better Military Planetary bases. LI YONG-RUI / BD-15 447 / A2D / JORDAN POINT @ 15% off -

Now.... where to go to get these things modded......

How does one find out what their current reputation with The Pilots Federation is? So that I can update my profile with the correct info.

I don't think there is a reputation with the Pilots Federation as such. They're solely responsible for awarding the ratings for combat, trade and exploring.

Hmm, then there's a thing in the Reputation tab on people's profile that probably has no reason to be there.

Ah, I see what you mean. It's not a part of the site I use a great deal, tbh. It may be anything to do with the Pilots Federation presence at Shinrarta Dezrha, but I've never been there as it's a permit locked system. Sorry I can't be any better help.

Edit: Or do I mean Founder's World? It's one of those two...
