All the more reason to have primary base on a freighter.

The plan with these guys was that they’d have a small-grid mining drone and a courier drone docked to them. So, I could RC it out to an ore deposit then I could RC onto the courier drone and set up a courier route it would fly automatically. Then set up a lock/control for the courier so it would only fly the route when it had enough ore to fill it’s cargo containers.

The intention was that I could save time by RC mining and automate the ore transport process. If necessary also setting up relay stations so I could have a greater than 50km range I could RC mine in.

Yes, but I don’t know if/how to do so autonomously. You can RC them via Antenna and control seat and would be able to see through cameras on it and detect ores that way.

Alright, thanks! Might try my hand at manufacturing my own fighter. The Sentinel ship is fine but I’ve taken to styling myself as an enemy of Sentinels.

Hm, now I wonder how a finely tuned fighter compares to a S-Class Sentinel ship in terms of combat ability.

Moderately frustrating but for me it’s part-and-parcel to the early game of NMS. I’m not that fond of the early game but the extrinsic rewards of some of the expeditions are too good to ignore. I look forward to bringing the staff and ship to my main save and hunting a pirate capital ship.

It’s certainly interesting. A friend of mine and I were both gipped by improper understanding of the system. They started Expedition from the menu rather than Anomaly and I loaded up on items that were redundant by the time I could access them. I did send a few tech modules that will have to be going back with whatever goodies I collect or I’ll be upset with myself for not sending them.

I don’t see there being that much for downsides. I want the hangers to default to pressurized but given they’re less than 1/10th the size of the flight deck a piece quickly pressurizing and de-pressurizing them shouldn’t be much of a problem. Just a matter of having eight depressurize systems instead of one.

We’re trying to enclose a brick shaped segment of a larger build to serve as a cabin. We managed to find the leak, I misunderstood how air-tightness works with reinforced conveyors, so adding a few junctions sealed the leak.

Yes. The ship is still connected to our groundbase, it was a connection issue between hold and assembler that was our problem

Nope, realized that problem shortly after posting. Ground down the assemblers and connected blocks to replace off of the cargo and now it works.

Minor Update: The hull design couldn’t support the amount of thrusters it’d need to fly with full it’s oreholds full so I’ve flown that partial ship off my prototyping platform and started over. Now that I have the gist of the Hull figured out I’ve mapped out the functional blocks and am in the process of wrapping a new version of the Hull around them. Might be done today or tomorrow if all goes well.

Thanks. That’s unfortunate. Not sure which to go with, I’m kind-of set up. Got communities for most of what I used Reddit for and the remainder I’m not sure if an appropriate Lemmy community has been made yet.

Alright. Thanks for letting me know 'bout Photon as well.
