Burstar the Always on Time for DinnerIf you're trying to figure out which planets are best to find certain flora then the Canonn website is pretty good. In fact it looks like it's got a tool now too so there you go.


I am not seeing the tool you speak of on Canonn. There is a link to some statistics about the variants. And I have forgotten how to directly access and search the Cannon database.


This may help. It doesn't say exactly where to go, but gives good indication.

M0bzgThanks on the Courier - I was modding it to use to do the Guardian mod blueprints. The Courier can have three useful point defence turrets - one on each pod and one on top,


Last time I did a guardian site in EDO, the sentinels never fired a single missile so pd turrets were useless. That was back in October, so they may have fixed that now but I doubt it.

GryphnnYes

Jetpack > Arc Cutter

Unless you are just going for operation goblin then backpack space + arc cutter is better


Two primary weapons > arc cutter / better jet pack

Horizons or Odyssey? If Horizons then I don't know what to tell you. If in Odyssey, are you in the Scarab or Scorpion? I don't think the Scorpion has a scanner. Or at the very least, when I used the Scorpion I couldn't get it to scan anything and switched back to the Scarab.

It did not take FD long to transform "per aspera ad astra" to "per aspera ad cacas" a.k.a bacteria.

I heard there's an issue with Dav's Hope at the moment. Sure I read it here or the FD forum recently.

KarinkaTrue, but in factual actual Bethesda murdered and multiple raped the Fallout series. It is not true Fallout anymore.

I bought Fallout 1, 2, 3 and New Vegas on GOG, but none of them got me hooked like Fallout 4 did. I played through Fallout 3 once, got bored while playing New Vegas, but in Fallout 4 I spent more than 2,000 hours. I like the design of the world, the lore, the 1950s cold war vibes, the Easter eggs, comic references, the soundtrack, and the replayability due to the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system, crafting and base building. No other game so far has ticked so many boxes for me.

I played all of them including Fallout Tactics. Have not tried F76 yet and I don't think I will. As a maniac of the series completed F2 countless times, F3 and FNV twice with every DLCs released. Got bored during F4 walkthrough though and didn't complete it. Bethesda releases are nice when it comes to graphics, but many quests are complete clusterfuck regarding lore especially. E.g. why you are finding drug called Jet inside old pre-war vaults? It didn;t exist pre-war, it was designed by Myron in New Reno from brahmin shit in 2240s. And there is a lot of this kind of crap there. Original Fallout creators are screaming from their graves (though they;re still alive hehe).

Nevertheless I'm glad you are fellow Fallout maniac Try Nevada mod for F2 made by Russians, completely new game and its hard to say but its even better than original.

And i think it's a wrong topic for this discussion, Artie help, cheers

Finally made it to Rear Admiral ,feel there should be a uniform, but I love my Corvette. Not that I would use the title or wear a uniform of course.

Oh yeah, the rank titles in this game are so immersive and well implemented.
And they feel so worth it, after all the effort and all the grind.
Never ever again will a low duty federal system security pull you out of supercruise and demand to scan you.
No! They treat you with respect now and the dignity you deserve!
Because you earned it!

Just spend 1-2 hours more and you will be done. Alternatively you can do it slowly as the progress do not decay or use some CG / event for easy rank.

Yeah, sometime in the past I suggested shoulder decals for those reputation ranks, even tried to figure out how the Imperial ones might look like (as the Fednecks' military ranks are rather straight forward). Let me see if I can find the idea I came up with again...

(10 minutes of browsing through INARA later) Ah, found it, posted it here... see the posts before that to see my train of thoughts behind it.

I like it. It would be something at the very least. You can show off having made it to Duke or Real Admiral as you get a Cutter/Corvette respectively. But there's literally no real reason to continue the rank grind after that.
