Kasumi GotoThe actual Imperial snobs will still turn up their noses at you. Those honorary ranks don't mean much to them even though you probably worked for it more than the Imperial Duke next door who merely inherited family wealth and title. (But I scoff more at the people who claim to be an admiral in the Federation navy because they have some fancy calling card with it slapped on, even if they've never so much as set foot in a military.)

... I wouldn't mind myself some extra bedrooms, though. And maybe also with the doorways made a bit wider than average...


Come for a shooting party at the weekend. We can either put you in G.G.G.Gandpa Henry's bed, or push a few beds together in the long gallery for you.
Don't worry, all the doorways are wide enough for a coach and four.
I'll have old ginger-top beat up the grouse for us. She's very handy with a stick you know.

Uhh, yeah, I meant... by myself.

And what I'd want the wide doorway for is to get a second bed through easily. Of course. Just for those nights where I might tend to roll around a bit more and don't want to go off the edge. No other reason.

If I were to buy the Beluga Liner off the store page, will I be able to remove the drive and put it on an Imperial Cutter or Type 10? (Compatible equal FSD size.)

I've never bought a ship with ARX before, so I don't know if you're allowed to remove parts from a "cash" ship. Thanks!

No. You can’t store modules from a prebought, they will be deleted/“sold” (for 0 credits) when you swap them out for something else.

Dang... no point in buying that then... unless I wanted to make that Beluga into a cargo ship... but carrying only ~half of a Cutter or Type 9.

This also means I can't strip the Guardian FSD Booster from the other store option, right? Use it on another ship...?

Guess I'll just need to grind that Guardian booster myself. ugh...

Thanks for the info.

Longshanks3054Hi trying to get a Guardian Power Plant I need to find 15 x Heat Resistant Ceramics, Ive tried searching but can't seem to find anywhere I can get them. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

many thanks



Heat Resistant Ceramics are a G2 manufactured material, so not super rare. you can either try search for them in anarchy systems and salvage them from signal sources, but a more time effective method would be to find any high-grade emission, collect all the G4/G5 materials, and then visit a manufactured material trader near you to trade for them. INARA has a search function here that can help you find mat traders: https://inara.cz/elite/nearest/



Thank you

Greetings. Recently I am freeing a settlement from the burden of possession... I encountered the usual "every-container-is-empty" bug and learned the secret ways of "FSD on/off".

But I ran into a new one I could not figure out by now:
Since yesterday all wall mounted health and battery racks are empty - anyone might enlighten me what the shortage is caused of?



UPDATE: Found them!!! Floating above their racks...

Hmmm... It appears that the flat belly of the Fer-de-Lance is perfect for ironing scavengers, for those moments when I find myself too lazy to shoot them personally.

Do you think?

I have used my Phantom to do the same on occasions where those dumb idiot pests are just too pointless of a waste of time to bother doing it "properly"
and the Odyssey gunplay sucks when you're not using a hitscan weapon or the rocket launcher, or more limitedly just shooting things with the plasma shotgun where you're probably close enough to make the comical shot speed not matter.

o7 commanders!
I need help... I'm at Mars High in Sol. Cargo full of Thargoid Bio-storage Capsules. ED Market connector active.
I search Inara. Destination has high demand, over 3000, updated minutes ago.
I try to sell and nada! Bio capsules are not listed as an option to sell.
What am I missing?
Have been flying from station to station, system to system, same result. Every time Inara point me to a destination, it ends in heartbreak.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

And a Happy New Year everyone!

Search and rescue contact.

Also, hand them in at Rescue Ship Hutner in Luyten’s Star if you are picking them from Cocijo’s remains. It doesn’t currently make a gameplay difference but story/narrative-wise they are the intended reception points for the captives from a Titan (derelict or otherwise).

Playing just feels so easy these days, compared to 10+ years ago in the beta - but I guess it's more about knowing just wth I'm doing...

Reset my No.2 profile a couple of days ago, having played legacy for a month or so and finally deciding to get to grips with the "new" UI and gameplay - which I still don't like, but hey-ho - and set off immediately to HIP 11144, having done a quick couple of courier missions so I could buy a 2A FSD and fuel scoop.

I used to hate scooping - more cause I just wanted to get on with other things - but now I don't mind it at all, which is a good thing as the lower tier scoop rates are snail pace!

Well, took me two sessions to get up to Knight, and I just went off to the nearest decent starport with shipyard and got a Viper IV with A rated FSD etc and gone back to HIP 11144 to crack on to unlock the Imperial Clipper.

I seem to be able to progress so quickly now - is it just my poor memeory or did it used to take an age just to get enough to buy a Cobra III? Maybe it's just that experience thing again. I had 4 million credits in 3 sessions, so it definitely isn't a challenge any more, that's for sure.

Anyway, time to get on with the rank grinding then I'll get off in my favourite DBX to Felicity and do Ram Tah (also made considerably more easy these days) to pick up my 110 million to get started properly. Think I'll start with mining this time around - buy myself a good allrounder like the Krait II that I can easily convert to do other things and at some stage set off on a scenic route to Colonia.

Sounds good - seeya in the Abyss..... o7

PS - the game looks fabulous in the Pimax Crystal Light
