Elite: Game talk

Though, I somewhat doubt that Frontier would actually put them into random deep space systems for people to find (with no obvious indicators), and even if they did finding one while it's stationary would be like the needle in the haystack.
(... and if Cocijo ended up heading to, say, Colonia, that direction would become fairly obvious pretty quickly, yet it would also take it months to reach unless the Thargoids since retrofitted it with a portal drive)
My expectation for it is that it will go down the boring way of "Shoot Thargoids around it until it is vulnerable and then shoot torpedoes at it until it explodes". And only then will the Thargoids do whatever they've been set up to do next by Frontier, if it is only because they promised 8 decals and whatever and people would begin royally bitching if that was not held. Or if they had to go to a far off deep space location after a Titan for their shiny.
Though I'm not completely sure if that is the route they will take for Titan number 8, I at least won't be as disappointed when that turns out to be true (instead of it going all out to cause carnage). At current pace we are looking at early-mid December for vulnerability without any 'surprises' popping up. Last week's 30-ish system clearance might have been an outlier.

RawnuOh for sure, I'm not talking about pulling the Titan out of Hyperspace, I was more thinking about deep space reconnaissance, something for which there isn't currently a game loop afaik but the Mandalay would be perfect for it. And funnily there's even a "Quest Pack" as a ship kit on sale right now...
Well, uh, about that quest pack... aren't we all on some kind of quest? Some look for Raxxla, some scout for Thargoids.... and some untold heroes try to liberate poor fellows from oppressing capitalism by helping them to get rid of their transported goods... and the Mandalay really shines in all these roles.

RawnuHardened Surface Fragments: do you get them (1) only from live Titans in meltdown or (2) are they also available in Titan graveyards? If there are other place to get them, I'd also be curious.
I thought it was only live titans.

CANA07 Commanders I have a mission for " rescue escape pods from the Dalannovale system" I have no idea where to hand them in I have tried so many places.....please help
what does the mission description say ?
is it a power mission, in which case you hand them in to the power contact in that system.

Valorian Axten I picked one up in Colonia after getting there. Pricy, but after heading out and going afk while fuel scooping it came in really handy!
Also glad I got the class 4 ????
You need to find a way to make money, whatever suits you and start upgrading and engineering ships.
At 17,639,220 Cr, the Mandalay is the best option for you if your thing is exploration, it's definitively the best there is and you already have a few modules you can use for her, like this AFMU...
Don't forget to sell you Nav Datas.

(I do not play PP so I have no idea how those mission pages look like)
Open the mission tab/page or what ever it's called and take a screenshot. Post it here. There has to be more information.
Something like where you can pick up the reward, who/what's the target and so on.

Valorian AxtenAtusia DuvalValorian AxtenI'm just chiming in to brag about my first Traveller rank! I'm en route to Colonia, and halfway there. Without any means of repair I'm going the slow FSD route, 40LY at a time, great surveying opps though!
By the way, is there any actual reliable way to route this far and have carriers in between with repair facilities?
Actually, you should always take an AFMU and repair controller with you on such a long trip.

You have a Diamond Explorer. If you equip the ship well you can easily get 78 light years. Doing exobiology makes billions and you can afford the best modules. A Guardian frame shift drive booster size 4 brings another 9.25 light years. You can find the instructions for activation on YouTube. Have fun with it.

You could find them at distress beacons and crash sites on the planets and combat aftermath in that system.

Yes! Look in Options → Controls → Ship Controls → Mode Switches.
(Had to actually start the game and look around the options because I’ve had those turned off for 9+ years now, so I could not remember where they were)
...
Palin has the exact same blueprints and unlock requirements as Sedesi and is in a less remote location.
Thanks for the settings.
It seems there is no way around Marco Qwent. He is the PITA in this lineup. 5K ly away, permits etc.
Marco Qwent is the real PITA and his damn Sirius Corporation BS.

I tried again before I left for work and it was the same. Now I'm home and still it just turns around and around.
Has anybody tried submitting any exploration data in the last 24 hours and had any success?
