GryphnnDoes somebody know a good source for Classified Scan Fragments? Need a bunch of them so G5 to G5 trading would be the last option.
Maybe somebody knows what kind of mission is giving these as rewards.

After seeing a comparison between modified/unmodified, it seems like the modified gauss is not really worth it but the other two seem to be a definite improvement if you can handle the heat and power.

For the ancient keys and the vessel blueprints, do you have to go to the location it specifies or does any location with vessel blueprints work?
Edit: Tried a different location and it still worked.

KurakilDo all Thargoid surface sites have Unknown Uplink Devices?


Yes they do. And they can only be scanned one time- each - for your Commanders lifetime

Badly compressed Gif loading here:



We think the uplinks are related to the Greeble or Tesseracts seen here

Probably a dumb question, but is Buckyball still a thing on ED? I used to have the fastest time in a DBS...

I was wondering about that since they don't follow the normal instance reset rules. *sigh* Guess I'll be doing some sightseeing.

240 sites

Let me know if you find a better tour list.

My squad has identified that they are Rotting Ships... 25 types of Unknown Structures , 3 Unique Large ones. Big Structures a-c // Medium Structure1 c1 -c4 // Medium Structure2 c1 -c5 // Small StructureA a1-a4 // Small StructureB b1-b4 //Small Structure c1

We have noticed that a particular type after activation starts to store the items up in the top - could be bug - unless some critical mass is needed to make the distress signal reach the destination - we can see it from space... but no mothership yet.


I have been working on alternate activations at the site under the project First Contact

MeowersOn a FDL with tier 2 fuel scoop and without FSD booster it will take 3 to 4 days. Bring some coffee and snacks.


jep thats true but you have enough money in stock..

i build an light weight annaconda for that job.. with full weapon banks yes you don´t need them in deep space but sometimes it´s better not to be naked..
don´t want to go all the long way with no weapons, couse shit happens too often.. so i started do get them all lightweight and voila the whole weapon bank is only 5,6 t
than i thought why only the weapons.. and here we (i) go.. now i have an pretty lightweight annaconda build with a jump range of 70 lj costs around 200 mil and much eng. stuff..

..and there are more cheaper ships, like dbx or asp explorer, with hugh jump jange..


even with 5.6 tons of hardpoints a LW ship of any kind is completely one-hit by any fed ship which can and probably will out-tank your conda. maybe you can slag some imperial lights but you won't outrun any of them. an 82 LY conda running undisturbed outside the new colonia bridge is realistic. i haven't charted the bridge to know whether to go up, down or flank, but i always do one of those to get some discoveries in my name along the way.

1.Yes, but damage is joke and just 500 m range.

2.Yes, you can sell ships and modules.

the integrity of the moduls goes down thats true but you can fight with them, i had a fight with a chieftain and a fdl in deepspace and they lost. yes you need a afm unit after battle but it´s not so much damage, after both fights there where some weapon banks down, true. more ly´s are welcome but collecting all the way datas costs very much time.. explorations i didn´t want to lose in a fight couse i can´t fight back (with no wapons installed) or even run away (to slow).. so the thoughts of that lightweight weapon bank is only for defence in some kind of situations. for me the 5,6 t are it resists to get with me.. btw. with shorter jump range there is more stuff for exploration..

ps: i found many untouched systems.. some of them have realy fanstatic hotspots, in one system i found an 4 point overlapping hot spot, grinding never was so efficent..
and it´s not so far from the bubble.. three or four water world systems in deeper space complety carrying my name

Were any of you aware that raising pips to ENG only affects speed and pitch? I thought it would aid roll and yaw as well, but for some reason it doesn't.
What would be the reasoning behind this?

(Coriolis seems to suggest roll and yaw change but this is not the case in game).

I find EDSY more accurate than Coriolis in most cases, including this one.

Agreed. Plus it separates out the thermal element which I find really important when building cool-running ships.
According to my investigation, the most agile+thermally efficient ship to use for exploration is the dolphin, closely followed by Asp Scout. Now that I no longer need large jump ranges, I'm mothballing the phantom, aspx and jumpconda.
