When Atlas/3I passes Earth at it's closest point, scientists may pick up faint radio signals as it zooms back into the cosmos.
Over months of effort, those radio signals are finally made sense of. What wonders do they hold?

Decided to try something.
It worked. Now I wonder what I'll do with it...
The build zone doesn't reach the ground, but I tested many times and there's always something under me zoning in, so it should be safe. I hope.

New scheduling for me means I've lost just enough of my spare time that I've not played Elite in a while... just as I was ramping up for real carrier-based exploration, with the need to maintain the carrier.
Gotta pull an hour or two from somewhere...

Bethesda, if you're listening... the "in a conversation, thwack, room goes dark" trope is something I absolutely *despise*. As a forwarding device it's lazy and insulting to players that eliminate risks as a habit.
I wouldn't stand with my back to a door, talking to a stranger...

I don't like interacting with quests in PTS, but I will definitely wander around and try and get a lay of the land (and potential ideas) without polluting my thought processes for the actual game....

when I made On Hollowed Ground it was full of gigantic chambers; how to manage the FPS hit from excessive polygons?
Embed occlusion in the walls and arrange them for zero free sightline further than the next chamber over.

Huh. Is this a new random encounter, a bug, or have I just been exceedingly unlucky for the last 4300 hours of gameplay?

edastro.com is just awesome.
So here's my entire "game life" travels in one map, with earthlike bodies and rare phenomena marked...
I like how it goes all ragged where I found that odd ring of white dwarves and neutron stars.

Don't let my lax posting make you think I've abandoned the game... far from it, I just find myself scraping the bottom of the time barrel.
With the carrier to manage now, first expedition plan is short and safe but should be fruitful.

Found a bug, I think. Scorpius Dark HH-V, outside my carrier's parking orbit there's a "pane" of space that doesn't fit the rest.
Likely of no real significance... just interesting.

Got my 76 glowing fish, pretty much all done with fishing challenges, save for the axolotl list.
Might be worth continuing to fish, just for the loot from feeding bait to LeeAnn or whatever it's called. Dump 100+ and you can get some pretty hot stuff back in return; solar armor, etc.

4200 hours into the game, and I had never found this recipe before? Amazing. Unless it's new for the canning module...

Seems the Striped Axolotl isn't out until the tuesday reset... and in morning light, that makes sense. Bethesda hadn't said where they would be, so I had looked it up online.
Bethesda hasn't said where they'll be because they aren't there yet. *Smacks forehead*. Got ahead of myself.

Finally... this one took *forever*.
That's all 3! Only thing left to do is get roughly 20 more glowing fish and all the (possible) fishing challenges are done.

Next moves? Probably going to make a direct jump to Sen Reach in the Scorpius Dark, it's only 160ly away. I'll top up the FC's tanks there and head "west" a couple jumps and start hunting for unexplored areas around Temple and Elysian Shore regions.
Think I'll get the new Type 11.

WE BRAKE FOR SHRUBBERY sitrep:
Jumped to Sheron and did a little spending on Tritium in the systems around, not bad... 68% fueled now. Tweaked the support ships again, now I have a dedicated small explorer (Hauler) and a 224t cap "tanker" (Type 7) that can mine a little too.

I basically turned everything on but Shipyard, got some outfitting stock, and jumped to some rando system ~400ly off to figure things out, like mining since I never have.
Mined my first three Tritium, after a whole bunch of missteps, but coming along.

1 - figure out what the hell I'm doing
2 - find out how to gas up
3 - sort my personal ships out
4 - get a mining/refining ship
5 - find the middle of nowhere
6 - nab those shrubberies (and turn them in on my own carrier!)
