I was doing some reading re: shield regen, & it said that if you use shield boosters, they slow that down


Boosters don't slow down regeneration. It's constant. You just need to regenerate more shields so it will take more time.

Boosters increase the duration of the refractory period before shields come back up at 50%. After this period is over they do not slow down the recharge rate.

The technique of shutting down boosters until the shields are up will get you shields that are a sliver of what they would be had they recovered the usual way. It is only advisable if you cannot reboot to get the shields up AND you are using Shield Cell Banks or desperately need what little shields you can get.

What's everyone thoughts on the Adamastor's beacon and that it's linked to maybe the sister ship? I hoping for a really great story from this.

Is the beacon added. I went few hours ago there. Got a message to download something but there was nothing.

Nothing yet as far as I know.

LP is added, but located inside the Adamastor. Drop out next to it and check your contacts.

I wonder how long till someone finds out what's sending the signal.

I would prefer to know what that message's actually trying to tell me

Same, but knowing who's sending it and what it says is half the mystery. Going to where it's coming from and exploring for more clues, for me at least, is the real fun part.

See, that's the thing: That message is supposed to tell you where to go next for clues. And right now it's not very informative, with the region alone being waaaaay too vague.

It's that way too vague that's the problem. It's how big an area to search? That's why these clues need to be a little more on point on where to go, but not by much. Make it closer to forty systems to search or something.

I think those "keys" are supposed to help somehow, but I have no idea yet how...

I actually went to several systems with a single K class star and 11 bodies and a landable 3rd body that were within 50 light years of Chukchan. No luck with finding any additional clues yet.

Dow Jones and Company in the Duamta System are buying Monazite for $1 Million per unit.
First time I've seen a metal break the Million barrier for a while.

...wait. You downloaded the logs from the Adamastor about the three stops it made, right?

If so: Those were important for the Adamastor-/Halloween-Event last year and have nothing to do with the Hesperus. That riddle got solved and led to the discovery and colonization/occupation of the Coalsack Nebula by the Alliance.
