Sir-DukeJust a quick question;

does anyone else have the small issue, that the supercruise assist is rotating the ship, at the very last seconds before arrival?
Like, when I fly to a signal source, about 10 seconds real time before I jump out of supercruise, my ship does a 180° rotation


Happens to me too in ED:O. My interpretation is that it is orienting the ship to be most responsive to changes in your destination due to orbit mechanics. Your horizontal yaw rate is much slower than your pitch so this might be to increase the odds SC doesn't lose lock on a fast orbitting target.

It is wonky but if you leave it be it still works.

Not sure, but ever since the Plasma of doom exploit hotfix ED:O FC interface was not responding (changes buy/sell orders within ED:O would not be reflected in Horizons, transferring cargo to/from ship wouldn't go through, etc...). My guess is it has something to do with that.

Yes, noticed this. Plus I had to play in EDH yesterday to mentor and since then Inara seems to have demoted me back to Elite. May be need to log back into ED:O to reclaim my higher ranks.

-Knight-Can someone please explain to me why I turned in my exploration data at Youll Port and the CG still says I have 0 Reports Submitted?!



Hi ya. After a long break, I came back to do this CG, thought it was very neutral.

Anyways, I quickly made it to the top 10% (might fallout tho) by mapping only earth-like worlds in the bubble. Turns out there is a lot! Just use Inara's nearest search > bodies > earth-like planets. I tried both Horizons and Odyssey and it works. I think @Burstar mentioned too, but you need to relog if you want to see your numbers update right away.

What exploration counts, I'm actually not sure. When I scanned non-earth-like terraformables, I didn't get anything. When turn in only earth-like, I get like 2x or 3x of what I mapped. BTW, doesn't have to be new, totally okay even if the planet is already terraformed. Doesn't follow the spirit of exploration? Sorry to burst the bubble, no pun intended


I wish I knew this before I took a long expedition out in the black.

Thanks!

Yes it does go turn your yaw sensitivity off. In flight controls if it's still doing it then it's a bug some of us ps4 users and ps5 users are experiencing.

Is there a list of commodities categorized by the way they can be mined (ring types, laser vs. core mining etc.)?

Another question: Do pulse wave analysers have any use in laser mining? IIRC they only show core or sub-surface deposits, no?

Not really. If you bring an abrasion blaster and/or SSDM you could use it to help direct you to asteroids with appropriate nodes. If you do not you 'could' use it to avoid those asteroids because I find they pay out half the laser mined minerals (but this is stretching its utility for laser mining tbh)

The POS Wave Analyzer is functioning properly these days?

Yeah it was fixed around Christmas iirc.

PWS only for core, subsurface and surface deposits.
The thing to bear in mind with laser is that hotspot (overlaps or not) has little to do with yield. Only the likelihood of a particular mineral being present.
Yield is all important. For highest you need pristine state, A-rated prospector and haz RES site.

Will I be able to visit the system HIP 58832, if there are so many FLEET CARRIERS there? I don’t want to fly 4500 lights to see later that there is no room in the system for another carrier. Is it possible to somehow remotely check if there is a place in the system?

If you’re intending to get to Rackham’s Peak with your FC you left it way too late. Folk usually head up a couple days in advance of the holiday. You might find space in the surrounding systems or maybe someone will head away soon (nursing their heads and jangling their wallets).
