Shg56Does anybody know if the S type stars are scoopable? Thanks


Nope.
A B F G K M O



The one I found is remnant of M star and it is not carbonised yet so logically it had to be still scoopable?




1: Go to the galaxy map.

2: Click on the fourth tab, and select "MAP".

Under the "SHOW BY COLOUR" pull-down menu, select "STAR CLASS" and uncheck all boxes except the first 7. These are your scoopable stars. AKA: KGB-FOAM

3: Filter for scoopable star types.

I do not think that Hydra can be instagibed. But those stats are for long periods. Probably a month.

Perhaps Artie can give more details. Hydra requires some time to kill. In addition it might be wing effort but only top guys are constant in the wing while others are less frequent. Solo kills are roughly a hour long, so depending on how often one play 200 are quite possible.

They actually can. The 4quadrillion damage Plasma bug proved that. Is it likely? No. It would require some sort of hacked crazy damage weapon and would be easy to detect if that was what was used.

My Squadron has strict rules on which weapons qualify for recognized kills and exclude using exploits such as insta-gibbing outright, and even using bugged weapons like premium Hammergauss rounds aren't recognized. Many other factions do not have this policy. My guess is they are in a wing using premium Hammergauss to plow through the Hearts. If that's the case then good for them I guess.

Got it S star is not scoopable as per your KGB statements. Though it would look like most of you have never seen one, makes me feel sad.

That's a crap. What's the entertainment and challenge in using that? Ah, rhetorical.

I think the majority of players have seen them, I mean they aren't very spectacular to begin with

I doubt it, in the conduit where I discovered one the last time similar one was was found 4 years ago. It is not a common star.

Quick question, are smuggling mission (at distant bases) still a money maker in ED? Actually starting to make some OK money, and looking to start the one thing I truly enjoyed in the old days.
