    After a grueling 37,000 LY and extremely difficult trek through virtually dead space, I have finally arrived to the closest reachable point to Cygni X-3 (See comment)

    Looked up and caught this beauty shot.

    What happens when you give a bunch of players too many credits too quickly? You get what I've found lately around Borann and the systems that buy LTDs: A bunch of incompetent pirates in paper pythons killing miners in their paper mining rigs. Well, not all of the miners fly paper rigs...

    Looking for folks to test out FOAM, a new tool for deep space exploration/prospecting, especially using Fleet Carriers

    Posted: 26 Apr 2020 05:19 AM PDT

    Hey all! So I was originally designing this tool for an expidition I had coming up, but thought it might have value for Fleet Carriers, especially Mining focused ones:

    It is called FOAM (Focus Oriented Assitive Mapping) and is a heavily augmented google sheet that interfaces with EDSM's API to pull all systems within a user defined radius of any "focal system." (Up to 100ly). It then also will sift through and find all rings in all those systems, and sort them into tabs by type, as well as calculate their aspect ratios and densities. (Large of both =more likely to have multiple hotspots)

    There is also a tab that allows for logistical communication between Fleet Carrier Owners and those who might use it as a base out in the Void. Including a spot for "patreons" to offer up a certain amount of business each week to help the FC owner manage their upkeep costs.

    My hope is that these could be used to ultimately have a record of what FCs are out where, to help explorers or adventurous miners know what spots of the inky black might hold havens, as well as what might be available there.

    Here is a copy link to the FOAM Template v1. It is still in beta testing and I would LOVE it if folks could help break it, improve it, modify it, whatever.

    25 hrs in, liking it so far

    Posted: 26 Apr 2020 02:12 PM PDT

    So I've put maybe 25 hrs into the game, most of the time spent in the new starting area. I have a rough idea of the galactic powers, and I'm diggin the Empire! How do I get there though? I'm stranded in Federation space! *spits on floor of cockpit" Is the answer flying to Imperial Space or do i work for the factions that are empire?

    Been doing trade and courier missions, makes ok money for passively flying around. Today I am taking a crack at taking out pirates. I know there are faction indicator s for the powers so ive been doing the empire ones.

    Currently in a cobra m3. Got a cargo scanner thingy and those robots that steal your shit, was thinkin of being a smuggler/pirate?

    How will Fleet Carriers fit in with the Next Era Expansion?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2020 02:55 PM PDT

    While I've also wondered "How can a Fleet Carrier benefit me now?", I think FCs are going to be central tools in the Next Era expansion which is supposedly coming out later this year. There are permit locked regions all over the galaxy with clues from previous puzzles leading to them. I think CMDRs who place FCs within these regions are going to be be pleasantly surprised how often they are being used by others, and there will be a definite source of passive income from players jumping their taxi there, fitting a ship, refitting/refueling and then smashing deep space what-have-yous, investigating new puzzles/"science"/etc. If some organization was paying for FC related activities in deep space, whether is by some kind of combat bond or voucher, there's potentially plenty of opportunity for FC owners to maintain upkeep in the black while still enjoying the main elements of the game without having to travel to the bubble to make cash, or save up game breaking billions before heading out.

    In their announcements Fdev stated they would be reworking community goals, which were the primary way storylines progressed in the past. FCs are a logical replacement for community goal rewards like asteroid forward outposts. I'm operating out of the Heart and Soul nebulae right now and these little depots are awesome. Being able to travel to FCs all over the galaxy to focus exploration in new regions would definitely help me stay out of the bubble for longer. If the new content is going to be spread far and wide, it makes sense that it would not take an expedition to get into some combat with distant Thargoid fleets or whatever only to be blown back to Colonia, or worse. Plus it has the added benefit of getting CMDRs together in far off places.

    If the supposed leaks about FPS elements and EliteFeet™ hold water, I wonder what FCs will contribute to that? Will we be able to queue up for FPS instances in a Fleet Carrier against Thargoid boarding parties? Will we be able to jump the FC into a system and board Thargoid motherships, infiltrate Thargoid stuctures, explore derelicts on foot, spelunk into deep mines, explore the innards of Guardian or other alien structures? Even having a place to chat with other CMDRs or queue up for CQC in-game while in the black would be nice. FCs are not necessarily required for something like that, but I think it would be an interesting implementation.

    Do I have to put the experimental effect on each grade?

    Posted: 26 Apr 2020 02:37 PM PDT

    Or do I just put it on one and it will effect all the way up to 5? Like I'm currently got grade three increased range on my FSD if I put mass manager on now it will effect all of the grades right?
