KurakilThat must be why you have rank 6 Photographer pin/patch and I only have rank 3.

Nope, that's because I have long fingers and I know how to use them well. And the Photographer badge... I just like to shoot stuff. Sometimes with a camera.

I always forget the alt+f10. But I never forget to sit for 3 hours for that one animation.

Yep. It was the primary reason for switching to Solo as the main playing mode. Original resolution screenshots are fine, but having a high-res source and some photo postprocessing skills is a way to do an awesome pic.

I made it too Baron, as the only Large ship I really liked was the Clipper, but with all the new Alliance and Fed Ships (they weren't around last time), what is a Clipper good for? She's so darn pretty, can I turn her into a Explorer?

I wish I was an artist so I could draw my own game stuff but sadly I have to resort to screenshots and trying to be creative with basic editing.

Or when you miss the perfect slide on those ad banners and then it doesn't reappear for the next 30min

Might be a dumb question, but do you need a cargo hold for Guardian missions, and if so what's needed?

Thank you in advance...

If you are going for the 3 fighters then yes, because you have to transport a key from a beacon to the structure for each ship you unlock. I just did mine this weekend.... I haven't done the regular modules and weapons yet, but they use the relecs... At Vessel unlock structures, the relics pop up from underground, so if they do the same at Module and Weapon structures then you won't need any cargo space..... by the way there are 4 different types of Guardian Structures... Vessel, Weapon, Module and None.... So you do need to match the type of site you are looking for with what you are trying to unlock..... and you do Have to have the Vessel Key with you before you run the the Vessel structure.

(EDIT) Also please don't use the new tanked out SRV if you have Odessey.... I have Horizons so I had to use the older SRV and I'm so thankful that happened. I saw a vid of someone using the new SRV and he was pretty much untouchable by the sentinels that attack.... Where the hell is the fun in that??? I was running for my life with my hull dropping to under 20% the first time I did the run.... I had to learn how to fight them... learn the map and their behaviors.... It was SOOOOO much better than 'Being untouchable' ... I mean we are here to have fun right. Get your DBX, make sure to put a 'Point Defense on the nose... park in a strategic location cause you will need your ships help.... the sentinels can really knock around the older SRV's.... It was Amazing, so much fun!

Thank You and very much appreciated. Cargo, 4 or 8 ok? Oh, and currently I'm only running Horizon's myself. Want to get the feel of the game again before I try to tackle Odessey...

Yup, point defence turrets are annihilating their missiles in a second after start. And their cannons are laughable. I'd installed two turrets on my both top slots (make sure you use top slots for maximum coverage), landed nearby, and it was an easy ride: ship's frontal lights were immensely helpful as well.

I've been doing Guardian stuff in Odyssey. I've never even seen their missiles, just their regular blasters. I have PDTs on my ship but they have never had to fire even 1 round. If using an SRV for combat I think the Scarab is better anyway. The main gun on the Scorpion is still garbage. I recommend a ship cargo amount of 3, one for each Guardian SLF type, then you can get your 3 keys all beforehand. For weapons and modules, your SRV has the cargo capacity and your ship doesn't need any.

But only if you have that turrets on top. On belly they are useless.
