o7 Commanders,

so there I am running around the Alioth controlled systems, doing various bounty missions and courier data missions , to get my Alioth system permit (some nice trading profits to be found in there).

I take on all and every data courier mission I can find. I stack them up and head out in my Imp Courier "All Right Guv?" and start jumping around all the local systems delivering data and completing the missions. All very standard.

15 systems visited, 15 mission accomplished. I check my Galaxy Map and see no Blue mission tags. I go to my contracts screen and see that I still have 2 contracts outstanding! I am confused I go back to the Galaxy map and zoom out too see where these 2 data delivery missions need their data delivered to too. I can not see it in the bubble.

Ratraii I type into the route finder on my Galaxy map, it pings with that "I know were your going" sound and starts zooming across the galaxy map.

I have 6 days to jump 22,000 light years to deliver 2 courier missions. I am not one to Abandon missions, and I have been been meaning to travel there as I have engineer invitations to access.

So I have stripped out "I was Never Here" My Asp X got the range up to 45 light yr and am heading from Gateway at the end of writing this..

I do love the spanners this game occasionally throws you. Nothing like a lockdown challenge.

Oh, spontaneous journey to Colonia.
You are fine on jump range - last time I went there with a cutter with less than 40ly jump range.

Neutron plotter is your friend.

Ahh thanks.. Well I am good way to reaching Omega Mining outpost, having the top fuel scoop really makes a difference. Have just discovered my first Water world, and am currently eating my porridge while scanning the world.

When I first received my pilots license, and the possibility that it comes with, it put a fundamental fear within me but at the same time a deep urge to explore, discover and push back the primal fears that make us human. Such is the dichotomy of life!

Speaking of rocks ... I found a double overlap of Musgravite which I plan to explore tonight.

Well Commanders,

with just 5 hours hopping system to system to system with only one iffy moment, in amongst a collection of T stars.  I checked my system map and it had included all the non fuel stars on my route. I FSD boosted my range (lucky I did) and jumped to the nearest fuel star.  I worked out I was one jump short of being the muppet with out fuel!

Otherwise i have been travelling pretty much a already worn path of explorers, not one undiscovered system to claim as mine. I am not too disappointed as all I only want is one. I do hope that maybe in the future that we as ED members get 1 star system named after us! I am not too down about this as I am now heading into the Galaxy core with its many many wonderous number of stars...

- just 1 system...

I am now nestled up at the Omega Sector,  have only got 389 more jumps left to go. Still 6 days on the mission timer. All is good. Time to go and have that extravagant bath I promised myself, and then a good feed with a healthy stretch around this Asteroid station.

I am also wondering if there are any other pits stops between the Omega Sector and Tir? Some where around the 5000 light year mark?

BlanddragonI'm out in Colonia and Tritium is basically unavailable in in quantity! Found a couple of single hotspots and started mining but I'm getting about 100T an hour with 5-10% rocks at medium or low quantities. Did I mention that I hate mining? There are Fleet Carriers here that are selling it for 100000+/Ton, but that is just piracy. I'm basically stuck here until I get enough to get back to the bubble. FDev this game is broken with your ham handed nerfs! Thanks for making a fantasy game like real life.


Eol Prou PC-K C9-221 5 B Ring has a double Tritium hotspot less than 10 LY from Colonia. There are others, including 2 separate overlapping hotspots in Eol Prou DF-U b18-26 AB 2 B Ring.

If you really want to mine Tritium, you need an overlapping hotspot at minimum, triple if you can find one.

That link will take you to a site that can find Tritium mining spots close to you.

Question, do all Materials Traders work the same way, have the same trading ratios & result in the same amounts?

Unlike the various commodoties markets which fluctuate according to location, trading & other pressures.

Thanks!

The Material Traders do all behave the same way. The trades between different grades and categories cost or give more, but use the same ratio every time. The only weird thing about the Traders is that there are 3 different ones: Encoded, Manufactured, and Raw material traders so you cannot convert one type to another.

Greetings and good evening Cmdr How are you?

I have a question, especially for Commanders skilled with PvP.

I'm more oriented with exploration, pve, and bounty hunting , but i need to learn from pilots better than me how to survive from possible enemies out there; so i ask you: against modules is better railgun with super penetrator, or cannon with high yeld shell?

Thx in advance to any Cmdr. that will reply

How is 154t Musgravite in 80min? (Those cores look different than the one in ice rings)
