EpisparhPC and consoles share same galaxy in terms of systems, stations and factions.
The market data is updated by players visiting the system/station. The market values should be same for console and PC regardless of who updated it.

Yup, the BGS is the same for everyone.  That said, isn't there a version of EDMC or EDDisc available for Xbox players?

SakashiroIt seems the intro can be skipped with Esc. Will try that later.

Does quitting to desktop respawn raw mats, too?

Re: reloading to renew instance mats

When I'm farming I use a shortcut to the games video files (for me they're at ...\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64\Movies). If you replace the 5 *.webm files with renamed empty text files the game starts without loading the videos at all.

Unfortunately they get replaced every time the game updates.

SakashiroI do find HGEs in the appropriate systems, but once I've harvested them, it seems to take forever to spawn new ones. The number of materials in HGEs seems to be lower, too. There used to be six or more in the past, now I frequently see only three.

Also geological sites spawn fewer materials, even if the planet is supposed to have major or pristine reserves.

So even though these days I scoop up literally everything dropped by NPCs in hazRES, I'm still constantly running short of materials. It's frustrating and makes engineering even more of a grind than it used to be. The effort-reward ratio is getting so bad that gathering materials is no longer a means to an end, it's becoming the end itself by taking over 90% of in-game time. I don't feel entertained any more. Combat is exciting, outfitting gives it a nice strategic element, but driving an SRV for hours is just dumb. The FSS scanner minigame sucks, too. Give me the f-ing mats, FDev, don't bore me with this BS sideshow!

A little thing about HGE's is that once you enter one and gather the mats, you can logout to desktop, log back in and jump to SC....the closest Unidentified signal source is the same HGE you just logged out of. You can do this for the remaining time left on the HGE, so if you have like 12 mins left you can almost max out.....

EDIT Nevermind...lol....see this is been discussed.

Aight, so what's HGE? Trying to keep track of all these acronyms in this game.. I swear.
