Can you please update your title to put “Planet/Ploehrliou” at the beginning? That way this comm can function as a searchable index.

Thank you!

You stay there until you explicitly leave for another galaxy.

Not for a staff. It is purely terminal + staff head.

The only two relevant variables are the staff’s head and the terminal. Those two determine class, color, and supercharged slot layout.

Made that decision easy, I guess. :)

I should add that this is a very shitty planet, even by Calypso’s standards. Do not go AFK while on foot unless you are inside a building (with doors–this planet has extreme wind events, and they will blow you out of a trading post).

I spend most of my time in Calypso. Those are the only days I’ve got.

Class for freighters is random.

I am working on my rainy day fund.

Thanks! It’s not a cockpit style that I see very often. And stumbling across an S-class was a stroke of luck.

I don’t buy into this “there’s no such thing as bad press” thinking. Having 10-15% of the canvas devoted to “fuck spez” kind of ruins the “but look at our engagement” argument.

So far, they have not. I replayed Atlas Rises a few months back and a ship turned up that I wanted. Got the glyphs and claimed it in the current/modern game. I also found one while playing Pathfinder. Used a signal booster to get coordinates, converted those to glyphs, and it was still there as well.

What can change is the “first wave” ships at space stations.

I updated the guide to reflect this.

This federated stuff is going to remain niche unless somebody figures out a way to make it approachable.

And also make the layout attractive. I view Lemmy via a Web browser on my desktop (yeah, I know, my age is showing) and it is…I’ll be polite and call it “a work in progress”.

I will do that. Thank you!

Thanks!

I am giving it a shot, and have created a NMSGlyphExchange community.

but do people really enjoy picking up ships, multi-tools, companions, and all that stuff that other people have found?

Yes. And there may be lots of reasons for it.

For example: you may be looking for a certain ship configuration that you like. Maybe that combination is rare (e.g., a shielded ball hauler aka a “glowball”), so you just aren’t likely to stumble across it on your own. Or, maybe you do find one, but it has other configuration aspects you don’t like (tail style, nose style, whatever). Or the colors are garish. At some point in your search for the ship that you want, you get frustrated, and start asking for help. The search has stopped being “fun”. I’ve been there. Most of my ships are my own finds, but two are the result of this frustration, and seeking someone else’s find on the Exchange.

Another example: you don’t like certain ship styles (hauler, living, explorer, whatever), but someone posts a find and that particular configuration and color really jumps out at you. You didn’t know you wanted that until you saw it. And you want specifically that. Now you go get it.

Yet another scenario: you want to build a base to share with others, and you want it on a planet with specific attributes. Color, biome, weather, general look and feel, etc. The base is the point, not the exact planet, though the planet’s parameters still matter. Why delay the base build until you stumble across the right planet if someone has already found what you need?
