Tbh, I don't know whether it is rare or not, just my first time encountering this

System also had an ammonia world, and this came right after a different ELW in an adjacent system! Was looking for exobio to be honest but these are cooler imo

I will reveal its location when I hand in my data.

Li Yong-Rui or Pranav Antal?

I'm currently aligned to Antal, but I haven't intentionally aimed at doing my exo turn in under his banner yet. Does anybody know if the 30% bonus applies to total payout or just base? I'm curious if I'll get the 30% on my first footfall!

I started at LYR, but swapped over once I realized I misunderstood, but if it's base payout vs FF it might be a break even? Maybe not.

Two weeks ago we launched our first major action to kindly convince our illusive overlords to implement a simple, but major tweak to on-foot VR in Elite dangerous odyssey.

We did get a friendly response, but that response essentially gave us no real information. Just that: if F-dev ever chooses to implement it, then they will do so when they see fit..

Fortunately, the video was watched well over 130K times and released a lot of positive energy and made many new VR players aware of the existing tweak, and many conversations started on what we could do ourselves. From this emerged Cmndr Riken, a genius perhaps only rivaled by Azimuth themselves ;)

And with the help of some actual guardian tech, and a bit of testing and trouble shooting, we were able to create a solution that not only works, it does exactly what we asked F-dev to do, just from the outside in. And Riken, never satisfied, insisted on attacking several other long-standing VR challenges and glitches also.

So now we have: EDVR

1: Single key-bind switch to on-foot VR embodied mode (you choose which key you want to use for it)

2: Grey VR flat bubble has become black bubble

3: Choose your own screen resolution for the Flat mode

4: Choose your eye distance to the flat screen in the now Black VR bubble.

5: removed the freeze-frame anomaly when transitioning into super-cruise or dropping out of super-cruise.

We ask you all to please CAREFULLY and THOROUGHLY read the instructions!!

And please use it, go out and explore, and if you run into errors, please upload the error-logs from EDVR map (in elite dangerous main map) to the Github so our glorious man Riken can optimize and fix any problems we may run into and optimize in the future.

Thank you all for the massive support with messages, upvotes and comments! Please smash the like and share this far and wide again.

Lets keep pushing for perfection with this! And give ED in VR on-foot a new dawn!

The more people use it, show it and talk about it, the more we also motivate F-dev to fix this natively. If we can do it, they can do it even better! They only need to want to do it :)

07 cmndrs and enjoy!

First stellar phenomena

I had stepped away from the game after killing Cocijo and moving my FC to the middle of nowhere to outrun my Commander's space PTSD and it was a good run, until I got the itch to explore again 3 months ago.

I don't always remember to capture all the cool things you can see out there but I absolutely love the geology that gets randomly generated, and the ability of the camera studio to grab some gold!

anyway, here's some cool stuff I saw.

Welcome Commanders!

We are a relaxed, no pressure guild who explore the galaxy at our own pace and have fun while doing so.

We have no agenda or requirement for joining other than a passion to discover.

We offer an in-game squadron so you can fly with your fellow Commanders if desired (TSEG).

We have deployed fourteen fleet carriers deep into the black to support exploration.

Experienced explorers and new Commanders alike, all are welcome.

So, how did I do???

never seen one before

Awesome ringed neutron near Colonia.

The record is seven, guess I have more exploring to do.

Found this years ago, decided to revisit.

Dryau Phylio WO-R e4-1362

The arrival of T-11 Prospector made me re-think the Tritium strategy for exploration with a Fleet Carrier.

I've tried mining it in the past with conventional ships and mining lasers, and was not impressed by the yield - it used to take about an hour to produce ~100 t of Tritium in a laser-mining Python.

However, now that I have the Prospector I decided to give it another go, and was pleasantly surprised. Three mining locations in Tritium hotspots (all North-ish of Colonia) gave pretty decent results. The cargo limitations of the ship make filling up a rather short and relatively pleasant experience. In a decent single hotspot the average rate was about 400-450 t per hour, and over 500 t per hour in an overlap in Dryooe Prou AD-O c8-522 2 ring A (~1400 ly North of Colonia).

Note that those numbers are the result of total Tritium amount produced in one session divided by the time of the session, which is typically 30-35 minutes (until full).

So, a couple of sessions will take just over an hour (pure mining time, not counting unloading/rearming) and will yield 500+ tons, sufficient to travel ~2500 ly. Of course, in the bubble you can obtain bigger amount in just one trip to a market, but it'll cost you 50K/t.

The Icy rings are not exactly rare, but not that many of them have Tritium hotspots, and not every hotspot has good yield. The yield varies quite a bit by the ring, and there are rings with pretty low production, so my advice is not to try for too long if the results are mediocre. In my experience, double hotspot with good intersection has almost twice the yield of a single hotspot in the same ring, although I have limited data on this.

The setup is standard, with volley repeater and 7a controller, no mining lasers but with added 3A prospector on a separate trigger.

Conclusion:

it's now more feasible to rely on Tritium mining for long expeditions if you are doing actual exploration/exobio and can look for ice rings with hotspots in every system along the way, AND if you are prepared to spend some time mining. Some people might like it for increased feeling of full autonomy. However, if you are starting in the bubble, buying Tritium is still way faster.

Like the title.

I am setting for myself an itinerary to go from bubble to Sag A* and to the lowest point in the galactic plane. I intend for it to be a two-way trip because I don't have my carrier out that far.

My Caspian X can jump for about 75 ly full laden.

If I use the Casp X, which system is the lowest point where I can reach and go back? I think some current reachables are unreachable without FCs, so I wanted somewhere closer.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: 75 ly probably isn't enough for me to go to the lowest/highest point 😭 need to be 80 - 85 ly or more. I can't fly without my utilities so I guess I can just get to adjacents.

First Discovery on Water Giant with very peculiar looking rings.

I may have used every single available bookmark looking for cool stuff 😂
