Daddy OIs it just me, or do the colors in the latest update seem to stand out more. Looking out the cockpit actually got a little bit prettier.
Just looking at the galactic bulge seems to have much more awwww factor.

Yes, it looks a bit more like Horizons now. For a long while you could see the polygon edges on EDO stars; now the glare is back.

Thanks for feedback, folks. Nothing the fuel rats couldn't fix, and all in a jiffy and painlessly, too! I was expecting a possible hours-long wait, but I guess they have these sleeper accounts parked in strategic places, so they can get to you really fast. Clever.

Yeah, I see re: my ship. The thinking there had been you'll want a functional ship once you arrive, right, to do more than just explore? So how do you handle that? Transfer everything over? (And wouldn't that take ages, at a small fortune?) Build a new ship there? But then you left half your engineers back where you came from.

So anyway hence the kind of all-round ship, with a few amendments. But I can see how maybe my thinking there was wrong.

Build your ship there while unlocking local engineers. Then you can pin one of the modification and use them remotely.

This is great advice. I would only add while you are out there build a combat, passenger, and combat ship and leave them out ther to use whenever you go back out there.

14Alphahi i trying to unlock the Selene Jean

Better to do it step by step.
You need an EMail from Todd McQuinn first.
He sometimes sends it on level 3, sometimes on level 4.
Sometimes, you even need to go to main menu and relogg to get the EMail.

Then mining is the next step...

14Alphaso i need to get to lvl 4 with Tod "The Blaster" McQuinn?


I think with all these engineers that require another to unlock, you need to get to about level 3 1/2 with them:

These Engineers will provide information about the locations of other Engineers in their network only after Grade 3 access, plus approximately half of the progress bar to Grade 4 access, has been achieved with them. The game may need to be restarted in order to trigger the notification.

Use the "expand" buttons in that summary btw for a good overview.
