Bio sites are better. They have much greater concentration of materials to farm. One of the top end materials (Selenium?) has no known biological sites though so you'll have to use Geo for that.

edit: link to material finder

Generally, it's fastest to farm the highest grade material you can and trade down for what you need ala this method

Jumping into a system that is full of Thargoids is slightly unnerving.

Very unnerving. More so when you don't have the right weapons to fight back.

Killing xenos can be pretty profitable if you're good at it. Plenty of money to be made squashing bugs. Gauss is my personal favourite for taking them down. Looking forward to when the next AX CZ's pop up.

WarCat72It’s truly irritating to waste hours jumping from one system to another in pursuit of Modular Terminals only to arrive and the place they are supposed to be is empty of everything. Is there something I’m missing somewhere? Why doesn’t a single station not sell them?


Just got these running passenger missions in Robigo.

Thargoids are just signal sources unless you specifically choose to engage them.

What's unnerving about that?

Still remember my first encounter with thargs. It ended peacefully but it was the scariest thing I’ve come across in ED. Credit to sound guys again. Such an eerie atmosphere

I agree with that when it comes the first Thargoid encounter.
Both intimadating and beautiful.

Because I wasn’t expecting to see them and without scanning the unidentified signal source I jumped to one.

That will do it, yes.

Only times I still get caught off guard by the bugs is during hyperdictions. When they came at you out of nowhere and you're face to face with 3+ Interceptors. Hate having to let them leave, usually kill them whenever I see them.

You should head over to Yembo, from what I hear if you are Rating 5 with Antal the Thargoid Bounties pay double. The Goids are attacking two mega ships in system. Nearly three hundred ships there over the weekend.

It's quite the party. 2 Billion a week for some.

Just don't forget to buy a hunting licence. I hear they have Park Rangers.
