    Community Goal: Explorers Needed For Coalsack Nebula Project - Ammonia Worlds Data Collection

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 06:49 AM PST

    https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/article/explorers-needed-coalsack-nebula-project

    https://elitedangerous.com/community/goals/

    Sirius Atmospherics has requested help from independent pilots to provide exploration data focusing on ammonia worlds for terraforming purposes.

    The subsidiary of Sirius Corporation is working in partnership with the Alliance to establish colonies within the Coalsack Nebula, and to identify sites of commercial and scientific interest.

    Dr Maximilian North, Sirius Atmospherics's project director, outlined the requirements:

    "We have developed revolutionary new terraforming procedures for terrestrial planets with ammonia-based atmospheres. Our collaboration with the Alliance is the perfect opportunity to try and put these to practical use, with the goal of transforming the region into a more human-friendly place."

    "Sirius Atmospherics offers rewards for explorers who can provide us with exploration data. We are particularly interested in detailed scans focusing on the composition of ammonia worlds, not just in the Coalsack Nebula but elsewhere. Gathering wide-ranging data will enable us to determine the most suitable targets for environmental conversion."

    Pilots are requested to deliver exploration data to the Sirius Atmospherics research facility at Betancourt Base in the Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1 system.

    Although the company is paying handsomely for all exploration data, it is the data from ammonia worlds that will really progress the research, with data from mapped ammonia worlds being three times as useful. Depending on the tier reached, Sirius Atmospherics will offer higher prices for exploration data starting on the 11th of December 3306.

    • Tier 1: Standard payout for exploration.
    • Tier 2: One week at double the standard payout.
    • Tier 3: One week at three times the payout.
    • Tier 4: Two weeks at three times the payout.
    • Tier 5: Two weeks at four times the payout.

    If successful, the top 75% of contributors will receive a fully engineered Detailed Surface Scanner with twice the normal probe coverage.

    • System = Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1
    • Station = Betancourt Base
    • Objective = Universal Cartographics
    • Commodity List = Universal Cartographics
    • Current / Target = 374 / 27000000
    • Expires = in 7 days

    AMAs in a nutshell

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 12:10 AM PST

    Playing Elite on my brand new OLED Ambilight TV. Anyone else doing this?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 01:50 AM PST

    I left the Bubble 6 months ago and yestarday my first big exploration journey ended, as I safely returned home and I wanted to share some pictures from my travels. :)

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 04:19 AM PST

    F-Dev... Pls..

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 11:42 AM PST

    For those doing the new CG in the Coalsack Nebula. All known nearby ammonia worlds. You're welcome.

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 08:45 AM PST

    First time back in the Bubble in 3 months... good to be home. Good to see Orion. Good to see civilization.

    Things I wish I knew when I started playing a week ago

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 10:39 AM PST

    After a week of playing and earning 1 billion credits, thought I'd share my experience/tips.

    1. Rebind the mouse so y axis is for yaw instead of roll, it makes flying way easier to control. I like QE for roll left/right, RF for throttle increase/decrease, WS for thrust up/down, AD for thrust left/right, shift+WS for thrust forward/backwards. I also like setting the throttle at 25% increments instead of continuous so I only need to hit the throttle key a few times instead of holding them down.
    2. Do the tutorial missions and learn to fly. Skip the combat one for now if you're unable to complete it.
    3. Always have a rebuy so you don't lose your ship if you die. Press 4 and make sure your balance is greater than the rebuy cost.
    4. Play in solo if you don't like getting ganked.
    5. If you leave the PFD (beginner area) after you rank up, then you will not be able to return https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Pilots%27_Federation_District
    6. Never run out of fuel while exploring. Open the galaxy map, choose the 4th tab, click map, scroll the dropdown and select star class, only have the first 7 options selected for KGB FOAM star classes, and select apply filter to route for the automated route planning. If you do end up stuck somewhere without fuel check out https://fuelrats.com/
    7. Try not to grind too much, it'll make the game boring.
    8. Useful guides https://cmdrs-toolbox.com/
    9. Find stations for ships/equipment https://eddb.io/station
    10. Find the best place to sell your goods https://inara.cz/goods/
    11. Ship build planner https://coriolis.io/

    Early Moneymaking tips (Do not do if you don't like grinding)

    1. Earn millions in the first few hours bounty hunting at a RES (resource extraction site). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTXQCQL_om8
    2. If you like exploring for your first millions, check out "road to riches". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X99wx9wmi6w
    3. Unlock Felicity Farseer for the FSD increased range upgrade to save a lot of time in your travels. Guide to engineering. https://munkjensen.net/wiki/index.php?title=Fox%27s_step-by-step_Guide_to_Unlocking_Engineers_Quickly
    4. For farming engineering materials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHl-SsKQfe4 + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4HClk1cRIo
    5. Robigo passenger runs earn 60-90 mil/hr without engineering. 100+ with the FSD upgraded. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx6XyfXy8Mg + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtDiR51QMJc

    This game is just the right amount of boring

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 01:42 PM PST

    It sounds like I'm talking shit, but I'm not. Elite Dangerous is just boring enough that it's a perfect relaxation game for me.

    I absolutely SUCK at multitasking. I can't watch a show and have a conversation at the same time; I'll miss both and end up confused and frustrated. But with ED? No super deep story or lore demanding my attention? Long stretches of chillin in super cruise?

    It's like driving my car. I can listen to a podcast or music without feeling distracted! I got through a whole episode of Duncan Trussel, AND made 150k credits, AND I can still remember what the episode was about!

    Game changer for me. Fly safe, CMDRs!

    Fuel Rats - Thank you for my most surreal gaming experience in YEARS.

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 10:38 PM PST

    So I haven't played in awhile, and just came back recently. I'm out mining... went a little too far, and sure enough, I can't make the jumps back. I google systems near me, and saw there was a planetary pad large enough for my ship... I get to that system, and that planetary outpost didn't exist... (wtf on that one?).

    Anyway, I google my options, and Fuel Rats comes up. I'm reading... and I start thinking "This can't be a thing, is it?". I send a message, log in, and within minutes someone is there to help me. CMDR Terminals, you're a god send! My mind is still a bit blown by all that, but thank you so much Fuel Rats!

    Randomly landed on a random mountain on a random planet and got a really nice looking screenshot

    Background for your video call

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 02:34 PM PST

    So let me get this straight, the empire can't beat the feds in the combat CG's and now they can't even beat them in trading ones?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 09:06 AM PST

    We ain’t in Kansas anymore. Taken at a system <5000Ly from the galactic core.

    Expansion into the Coalsack Nebula might lead to a larger war with the Thargoids

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 11:01 AM PST

    As more Galnet articles and community goals are released, it seems like a larger war with the Thargoids will be starting soon. The expansion into the Coalsack Nebula for meta-alloys, and Sirius Atmospherics' new plans to terrarform ammonia worlds there will surely anger the Thargoids, and it is likely to start a massive war with them. This war would also give a lore reason for Thargoid hunting payouts to increase, similarly to the recent increase in bounty vouchers.

    A war between the Federation and Empire also seems to be on the Horizon, so things are not looking too great for humanity as of late. The bubble will soon be ravaged by war.
