HeartdeadAnyone know if there's something up with the inara Crafting list ( engineers? ) ever since i started playing today, my required materials list is all sorts of bonkers! it keeps telling that i need mats that i already have allot of!

while i've been using EDDiscovery and EDMC, the materials needed on the crafting list has been updating in real time! but today, instead of adding materials i pick up, its removing it! so if i pick up a Refined Focus Crystals, the site takes it as i've used a Refined Focus Crystals instead! which has really messed up my crafting list! haha , wondering if anyone else has experienced this? or has any idea what could be going on?

For refrence, when i started today, i needed x1 Refined Focus crystal to finish this crafting list, but after a few hours of farming, my list all the sudden looks like this! :o

(i do have the mats in my ship, so its nbd! i am just curious if anyone else has had this/seen this?

Edit: Seems like inara did not like my pic link, but my list is :

It seems the update via EDMC or EDDiscovery went wrong for some reason, as your material inventory is fairly empty (maybe it sent just the inventory reset but not the inventory content itself, no idea). I suppose it should go alright at your next session start (and update via API).

Yea, my inventory should not be fairly empty at all! so i guess something herpderp happened at some point! oh well, i will just give it some time and see if it works itself out! Ty for the reply man!

EpisparhQuestion: Does my 90mil contribution to bounty hunting CG will keep me in top 10% in the next 16 hours?

During the last 24h the lower bound increased by nearly 20 mil. I'm curious about the final dynamics this CG will show. For my part I've decided I should be safe with more than 110 mil.

At the moment im sitting at #1 with 350,925,320, for the last couple of days it was hard to keep up. Been home sick this week, normally i would never have this much time to play.

I'm at 70 something mil trying to work up the energy to log in one more time...

My initial estimate was 100mil min but then it should be 80mil by now. Added 30mil more and going to bed.
Actually I have just one cobra mk3 and the skin can be bought with arx ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SakashiroNot much different from 11G tbh.



Thanks for sharing the video. ^_^

MeowersTry recalling

OK, I recalled the ship. For science.

Turns out the auto lander dropping the ship like a brick after deploying the landing gear is actually a bug in Odyssey. In Horizons the landing is completely smooth, and even the distributor pips stay where you left them. In Odyssey they reset to 2/2/2 every time.

FDev's ability to break things that were perfectly fine before never ceases to amaze me.

Ship, falling like a brick on a 45G planet is a perfect metaphor for 'FDev breaking things'.

But I still want to visit this place, when I'll have a time to play.

I only got 87 miles, hopefully that will be enough, I have to sleep, tomorrow I have to be at work. Never had any desire to participate in these competitions, but in this case I could not resist

There's some discussion on FDev's forum about the planet not really behaving like it's 45G. I would agree with that. At four times the gravity of Lithobreaker I'd expect the landing experience to be noticeably different, but it isn't. Probably a hardcoded limit in the game's physics engine.

It's still nice this planet was found though, because it's closer to the Bubble than Lithobreaker. So if you're looking for the ultimate high-G experience this game has to offer, you won't have to travel that far any more.

That makes sense considering 45G's ought to make it impossible for any ship to realistically land on it, even smaller ones. The pilot alone inside the cockpit would weigh so heavy, they wouldn't even be able to control the ship enough to land. Still, it's a good planet to practice heavy gravity landing. ^_^

Artificial war in Hathis: Haithis Purple Dynamic Group vs Kumo Council. (Influence 36.6% vs 10.3%)

So round 3 for control of the new onion head is imminent.

Edit: 90 mil were enough for top 10% BH CG. Probably the fact that you can buy the reward with Arx was reason for low activity.

Yeah, you're much right. That 'Braben Magic' flight model (because they don't want to call it 'artificial gravity' or 'anti-gravitational devices' or smth) which allows you to maintain altitude when you're horizontal (Magic is applying the force, equal to the gravity pull, but to the opposite direction, be it 45.3G or 0.00453G, whatever) and speed limitations at a 'free fall', because 45.3G will cause you to accelerate to 500m/s in a bit more than a second... So there's no 'free fall' here too.

Those onionhead decals are just perfect for my troll Courier.
