Can anyone tell me a good reason why I should bother upgrading/engineering the "Artemis"-suit (aka the exploration one)? Scanning plants does not get you into firefights after all, unlike the Dominator-suit for CZ and the Maverick for other settlement shenanigans...

I haven't upgraded my Artemis and I'm just about through Cataloguer. I mean, having a bigger battery, or more efficient power supply, or greater run speed or run/jetpack duration would help but aren't necessary at all and almost certainly not worth the grind if I'm hearing what everyone's been saying on that regard (I use an unmodded Artemis 2 suit).

If there were suit mods that increase your environment tolerances that'd be a different story. Until then I say don't bother.

Yeah, was thinking in similar lines... You don't need the stronger shields, and it does its job scanning plantlife even on grade 1. So until something like higher tolerances to extreme gravity and/or temperatures comes along it's really not worth the time and grind.

I found Artemis grade 3 with run duration. I plan to just add battery capacity and forget about it.

Yesterday I found weapon level 3 with engeneering for reload speed. I though its randomly spawning,but not. Its only when some player sell it.

You know, with all that different mission types and activities available now I wished FDev would go ahead and "steal" one concept from EvE Online: single-player story-driven campaigns offered by the superpowers/powerplay factions, called "Epic Arcs" by EvE. Those could come with a massive boost to the respective faction, including several rank promotions where applicable, or a free powerplay module.

Especially the excellent new VOs in Odyssey, like the new spaceleg-tutorial or the engineers' dialogs, let me believe that they could pull this off.

Those spawn randomly after weekly tick. Got several grade 3 items some with 1 and even 2 engineering mods.

If I want deploy fighter,it disappears. Then cant go to supercruise or land. If I want go to fighter its stucked and only relog to original Elite without dlcs help. Also in multicrew I cant see others characters and if I go to somes multicrew I lost my character. Also when I want go with cursor trough redemtion office on fc menu,the game gets stucked. Flashlight on foot doesnt works. Only sometimes.

Yeah, no! Frontier cannot figure even a meaningful rewards for leg missions. You are expecting way too much.

Sooo... does that mean that the concept itself would find your approval otherwise?

I would approve any meaningful game play instead of forcing relogs or instance resets. Honestly, that reset patch of settlements showed how clueless Frontier are, instead of addressing why they "fix" how.

Speaking of grind.

What's the easiest way to unlock the Odyssey engineer Wellington Beck.

"Sell a total of 25 Multimedia Entertainment, Classic Entertainment and Cat media to bartenders."

Tourist Centers?

PS: I would be happy to see branching missions, but well it's elite, there is branching grind.
