Don't do on-foot with no supplies!
Rookie mistake, but I still wanted to share my experience...
Few days ago I set out to do an on-foot mission to retrieve some salvage from a crash site. "Easy...", I thought, "...jump in my Eagle, head out to the planet, land nearby, get to the crash site, get the salvage, get out. What's the worse that could happen?!"
Well, I ran into some trouble when I tried to land about 200m from the site. I got shot at. The mission did say "Threat Level 1", but I wasn't expecting 2 sharpshooters, 2 commando's and a scout (or whatever it was) to be camping at the crash site.
So I put my Eagle down some distance away from the site and dismissed it. Then I snuck up to the site, it was dark so that gave me some cover I guess. As I approached the site I took out my rifle, put up my shield and started attacking. After a good few minutes of dodging and shooting I cleared the site and was able to get the salvage, or so I thought.
A drop ship showed up and a few more soldiers popped out. I had about 40% suit energy left so I had to decide to drop the mission or push through...well, I choose the later.
With only 8% energy left I defeated the soldiers, got the salvage and called my ship. Still had to make a run for it before my energy would run out. Got to my ship with 2% left and a heart rate up to a million, but I completed the mission.
Once back at the station I stocked up on energy cells, grenades, shields, and other tools.
I picked another mission, but I was prepared this time, so I picked a Threat Level 2 salvage operation. Jumped back in my Eagle and head to the site ... there was no one, not a single enemy. I collected the salvage and head back to the station.

EZ endless credits?
Hello everyone!
Today I finished working on a program that helps build potentially profitable routes through systems containing Stratum Tectonicas. On paper, the results look very impressive, and so does the estimated profit.
To clarify right away: I have not used the program in the game yet. All profitability data comes only from application testing and has not been verified in actual gameplay.
Before starting this project, I carefully reviewed the rules and requirements regarding third-party tools. As far as I understand, my software does not technically violate any rules, because it does not interact with the game, its client, or its data in any way. It is based on external dumps of high metal content planets, to which I applied my own filtering system to remove planets that were likely already explored, increasing the chance of receiving the first-discovery bonus.
I have also seen similar tools online, but in my opinion they were harder to use, and their data was not filtered in the same way.
That is why I decided to post here and ask for the opinion of players and possibly the developers one last time before I start testing the routes suggested by the application directly in the game.
What do you think, Commanders? And perhaps one of the developers might see this post and give me a clear answer: is what I made allowed?
After I gather feedback, I will make a final decision on whether I should use this program or not.
In any case, I have already gained some valuable development experience, so the time was not wasted.

Guys, how do you change the color of the cockpit displays and menus? Because I noticed that we have it in orange by default, but some people have it in red/blue.The example is in the photo below.

My whackadoo theory on Zorgon Peterson
I've had this ongoing thought about ZP as the game has progressed, particularly in the Post-Thargoid war era. For those who are unaware- Zorgon is owned in full by Faulcon DeLacey, and subsequently they are in all intents and purposes the same company. Kinda.
Before the Thargoid war, Zorgon was best known for the Hauler, the Adder, the Fer-De-Lance, and the Mamba. They had their niche in small all-purpose vessels and medium dedicated combat ships. Meanwhile, their parent company focused more on all-purpose vessels like the Kraits, The Anaconda, and the Cobras.
And then the thargoid war ended and.... Faulcon DeLacey releases the Python MkII- A dedicated fighter ship that seems to directly compete with it's own offerings in Zorgon Peterson. This got me thinking: Why would they release this under the DeLacey name, and not under the Zorgon branding to act as a coincider, third ship in the dedicated combat segment? This led me down a rabbit hole to the point where I have a new theory.
My theory is that Zorgon Peterson and Faulcon DeLacey coexist in complete opposite methodologies. Faulcon DeLacey is a very careful, conservative company, which only makes moves based on market data in proven sectors. Zorgon Peterson is full of so many crackpot mad scientist engineers fueled by crazy ideas and onionhead that they can get away with releasing whatever they want so long as it makes DeLacey money.
Let's start with the Mandalay- My theory is that the development for this ship began before the Thargoid War as a lightweight medium fighter, which then pivoted into a dedicated explorer the very instant that the engineers at ZP got their hands on an SCO drive for the first time, and everyone in the room collectively fell in love with it. I also theorize that the Mandalay can BARELY contain it's own FSD, which is why we see a lot more glowing pieces on the side of the wings which glow white hot while in supercruise. Zorgon became one of the earliest adopters of the SCO drive and have perfected it with time, but the Mandalay was a test of 'just how far can we push this thing before it explodes across 300 light seconds?'
Next we have the Panther MKII- It's been (partially?) confirmed that Zorgon Peterson, or some derivative thereof created the original Panther, and it's successor only really entered the picture after the engineers were able to take the lessons learned with the Mandalay and apply it in a very different application, alongside a prototypical new design for a cargo rack that only fits that one ship (I also theorize that's why the rear section of the Panther looks like that- It was meant originally to drop those pods as a way to move cargo, but that aspect of it didn't pass logistics because moving around giant ass modular cargo pods is very difficult. So they just bolted them on, and load/unload the Panther the old fashioned way.
Finally the Caspian- I theorize that the Caspian looked very different in it's original design. I think ZP tried to make the ship a lot more streamlined and elegant than the final product. However, when the first prototypes were tested, they were unhappy with the distance it could reach compared to its predecessor. Instead of redesigning it, however, they just started ripping off unnecessary bits to eke out more and more distance from the final ship. That's why the Caspian has so many air gaps around the engine nacelles- they'd rather have it be ugly than slower.
Meanwhile, During this time, Faulcon Delacey releases the Python MkII, a dedicated medium combat ship, into a sector already proven to be a lucrative venture from the success of the Fer-De-Lance and the Mamba.
Anyways that's my crazy theory. Anything for the gallery to add?

So there I was, out in the black, chilling and exploring when...
I enter a new system, hit the discovery scanner and instinctively glance at the left panel. I see 7 "Unexplored" bodies and think "Ah well, someones been here already..."
Then the discovery scan finishes.
There are very few things in the vastness of the universe that scares me, but I cannot BEGIN to describe the sheer, existential dread that hit me when I opened the system map.
o7 commanders, and Godspeed to the poor astrophysicists who are stuck with figuring out the train wreck that is this system's orbital mechanics!

Got caught in crossfire from the turrets of this starport, lost almost a third of my shield after a single hit. What happens if your ship gets destroyed that way? Do you still have to pay the rebuy?

Do I have to end myself??
I have put myself in a bad spot.
I'm out on DW3 expedition and landed on the planet for waypoint 7.
I went out to gather som bio in my SRV and ship was dispatched.
I did recall my ship, and got a warning that my ship's destroyd!
Now my SRV's gone and I'm stranded on the planet.
I didn't find an option to "self destruct" :)
Do I have any other option?

After 5 long years of working up the motivation to cross the mark and make it happen, I've finally achieved a fleet carrier. 5 years of putting off the grind, and flippantly jumping between activities or taking breaks from the game. I can't thank my dear friends who helped me along the way enough.
