August DavenportYeah, there's a group of gankers trolling folks in /system ATM, picking on the rescue ops in open

Certainly in Cornsar recently . I was there yesterday kept getting attacked . Luckily my xeno krait mk2 is too fast . I was able to get back to supercruise and jump away each time

Spent most of my time speccing out a dolphin to do it lol,

Mission POI can spawn randomly. Use FSS to scan signal sources and you will see it. Usually it is type-9 which gives source and delivery mission.


Yeah!
Didn´t think about that...
Thanks man!

SakashiroDump the medicine

I think I know who's ganking there.


Well this 'event' does seem fishy. As I understand it, Salvation intends to weaponize the Rescue Ships? I'm the last person to say "don't hurt Thargoids", but, arming civilian medical relief is a War Crime. I'll repel the Thargoid invaders, and take the fight to them wherever they are. I will not do it by hiding explosives in ambulances.

Hey guys,

small question!

How does it behave with the trading? Here on Inara there is this planner that has worked wonderfully so far, I've only made a pleasant 24 million an hour with my Type7, but now... no station seems to me any more to have any "demand" more. It is still 18 Milllion the hour but that is a big difference to during the week. Is that some kind of cap?

-Knight-Nice! I assume that kind of outfit only comes with Odyssey installed?

Nope, it was available in Horizons, in Arx shop.


Too bad it's still not there.

As any commodity in demand is met (i.e. we have enough) the demand for it goes down and you make less and less money.

They are still available in both Horizons and Odyssey. I have the Rogue and Turncoat packs. Each outfit consists of parts for torso, arms, and legs, and it's possible to mix & match parts from different packs with any of the legacy flight suits worn below. However, they can't be worn over the new Odyssey suits (Artemis, Maverick, Dominator).

Ahhh, I'll have to take another look in the Arx store, then, since I must have missed this. Thanks! ^_^

I tried docking at the "Heart of Taurus" megaship several times today and was denied permission, even in solo mode.

I wonder if it's because of my squadron membership...

Oooof. Sorry to hear that. I have no idea whether my 'basic medicines' runs counted. I never got the initial message, nor any sort of indication that they were recognized. :shrug:

CONFOUND IT, FDEV!

So, I'm out in the Oochost sector, where that weird line of stars is, exploring. In one of the systems, I drop out and start scanning planets, when I see this weird line of star-like lights. I figured it was just a companion star with a bunch of planets on it, so I line up on it and... no planet signatures - nor is there a companion there.

Image of lights:

So these are clearly other systems... somewhere. It's a striking little cluster, so I decide to try to track it down and go there. "Because it is there," and all that.

After over an hour of trying to triangulate it by selecting various star systems on the map and comparing their position(s) on-screen, I finally manged to track down what I think I was looking at. Whoa - it's a dense, linear cluster of very blue stars. I start checking a few and notice they're almost all A, B, and a few Os.... and they're all permit-locked by the infamous "Unknown Permit."

Such a bummer, because this looks like it would've been a truly fascinating part of space to go spelunking through.

EDIT: Further weirdness. EDSM has record of a CMDR Vonner passing through BD+18 713 at some point, which is in the center of that cluster and also permit-locked. I know the 3rd-party tools aren't perfect and this could easily be a glitch, but... still super weird.

Funny how all high margin trades seem to involve stations more than 200,000 Ls away from the main star.
