Musings.

I've made Competent in combat.

This is either a blessing or a curse depending on your view. While it seems I do get interdicted a lot less by NPC's, the ones that do interdict me are leaning a lot more toward Dangerous, Deadly and Elite rankings.

It was a curse the other night as I was interdicted by an Elite Anaconda who proceeded to one shot me. I chalked it up as a learning experience as I no longer immediately turn to face the interdictor as soon as I drop out of Super Cruise.

I'm currently back to exploring as I get time to play and just bouncing around random systems in settled space.

I have also been shopping around, looking for a Hotas  joystick. The only ones I can find in my area are the high end ones. Even looking on Amazon etc....the low end Hotas are being way overpriced....... 78.00+42.00 shipping from Italy to 199.99 USD domestic for the entry level Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick . I suppose I will just keep utilizing my Xbox controller as it works sufficiently for now. I refuse overpay for something due to the supply being bought up and re-priced.

It seems patch 1.2 will bring us two new ships the Fer De Lance and the Vulture. I'm looking forward to both even though I most likely will not be able to afford either. Any addition to the game at this point does nothing but make it better and more interesting.

I still haven't forgotten about that entry level trade write up and am slowly working on putting it together.


Until next time .....

Interesting System Report ...Discovery and Exploration Rank.

The interesting system for this update would be Hosus, It has several planets and they are all High Metal Content planets. It was worth right at 85,000 credits, this was with all objects detail scanned.

 

 

 

 

 

I also found another first discovery system, this system was right at the edge of settled space around the Hosus area. Again they are still out there to be found if your willing to scan systems off the main routes outward.

 

 

And finally I have gained another rank in exploration, Pathfinder. The farthest out I have been is approx. 200 LY from settled space. I have mainly just been scanning systems between known systems with a short foray out every so often when I get bored. I have also only Detail Surface Scanned about 30% of the systems that I visit. I usually only detail scan if I see an interesting planet or if I catch a system that has a first discovery in it. (Some systems still have firsts in them even though they have been scanned, as the person scanning didn't want to fly out to the object to scan it).

 

 

My updates haven't been coming very often lately but I will try to rectify that. It's mostly due to work but also because I have been doing some repetitive things lately and didn't want to post a lot of the same things.

 

 

Until next time.....

First Discoveries

I wandered off aimlessly exploring as I got bored again and made the following first discoveries:

Nothing amazing but my name is now forever attached to those systems which is pretty cool if you ask me.

The first discovery system is pretty neat as well. When you go to sell your data it automatically lets you know that you were the first and also gives you a nice bonus for it as well.

Get out there and scan some undiscovered systems and get your Commander name attached to a system too!
