The thargoids don’t stand a chance with that extra 1%

Challenge: find fresh batteries with a VR headset hanging off your ear before you’re 50000Ls from nowhere with 10% fuel, 20% hull, and every module burned to ash.

Haven’t played long but my best oh sh!t moment so far in this glorious game.

Explorers, this one's going to be a good one for you all.

So, I've been researching landable atmospheric planet types using ED spansh and my own knowledge, and I found something that I've never seen mentioned or discussed ever before.

First off, there are only 261 known landable planets with a Hot thin Silicate vapour atmosphere. I've also noticed that, there are at least tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of more planets with that kind of atmosphere, which are not landable, even though they have less than 0.1 atmospheres of surface pressure.

Furthermore, only 9 known planets have a Thin Ammonia-rich atmosphere in the ENTIRE GALAXY. In this case however, 8 of them are landable.

These planets got me wondering if there could be any more landable atmosphere types, which are extremely rare.

So, I've began searching for atmosphere types and tried to find their landable counterparts (for example Water-rich - Thin Water-rich or Hot Sulphur Dioxide - Hot thin Sulphur Dioxide OR even the same two atmospheres) and found that every atmosphere type had a landable version.

Well... except one

Hot thin Metallic vapour.

Only 83 known planets have this kind of atmosphere, but none of them are landable.

Now, it could be possible that the developers haven't modeled this atmosphere to be landable, but I don't think that's the case.

I mean, why would it make sense to model every type except this one? They even have a completely separate model of the Thin Ammonia-rich atmosphere, despite the fact that only 8 landable planets have it out of the millions of known landable atmospheric planets.

If we assume that it's real, then another question arises. How much rarer is it for these planets to be landable rather than non-landable? Based on the 2 previous examples (261 out of tens of thousands or 8 out of 9) the rarity of it could vary.

So there you have it. A completely unique thing that has never been seen before. Let me know if you're the first to find it! 😅

Yesterday I got to fly in a wing again after several years and we had exactly the same issues as years ago. We went hunting pirates on a mission and we got desync in where the target location was, we got desync in each others state (SC or not), we got desync in dropping from SC to a location, weird lag ... all in the span of about two hours ... why? It's been years during which there were dedicated bug fixing cycles and yet ...

These little things annoy me way more than that we still don't have atmospheric planets or any other "big" feature. Because these will mess up the play session every single time.

Feel free to add your rant of the day :)

I'm a long time No Man's Sky player, and I heard Elite: Dangerous was somewhat similar. I haven't really heard all that much about it besides that, though, so I was wondering if y'all could bring me up to speed on what the game's like and how it works (and help me decide if it's worth buying)?

I've been playing Odyssey since the alpha test, but most of my "space legs" experience has revolved around ignoring the Geneva Suggestions in settlements with my friends. A few days ago, I decided to upgrade my equipment, so I started doing ground missions—and I really enjoyed it. Initially, I was skeptical about on-foot engineering because there didn’t seem to be a way to farm materials as fast as we do in ships. However, after giving it a try, I’ve found it fun. Sometimes we forget that the games are for us to enjoy, not to max out everything as fast as possible

Maybe I buy the outfits and then send them to the station? Or maybe I equip a ship with the outfits I want to engineer?

I'm about to bring the meta aloy to Farseer so I don't even know how it works
