I really like neutron stars, but when they're so crazy, it still scares me

Also, it's quite interesting that M-star is 11 ls close to neutron star that has 8 million K on the surface. I'm pretty sure this lil M-fella doesn't feel well with such a neighbour.

P. S. It's in the system Col 89 Sector KC-L d8-39 if you're interested.

Well, that's pretty far...

Are they not as rare as I thought or something?

Elite Dangerous' Greatest Community Story (Enigma Expedition), now updated after 8 years :)

15 Upvotes

Years ago, I followed the Enigma Expedition in Elite Dangerous, where hundreds of commanders came together to help CMDR DoveEnigma13 reach Colonia during his battle with terminal cancer.

While revisiting the story recently, I discovered an unexpected update that made the story even more meaningful: A Second Miracle.

So, I ended up creating a narrated cinematic video telling the full story, using Elite Dangerous scenery, music and ambiance, and footage from the event and location.

Hope you enjoy!
And if you can, any feedback is appreciated.

Please help regarding spansh route plot to Colonia via neutron highway (Casp Exp)

6 Upvotes

I'm currently en route to Colonia via the neutron highway.
I've plotted the route via spansh but for some reason, the max supercharged jump distance I get is barely over 300.

My bro is doing the same and he's getting 500+ range for supercharged jumps.

We have very similar builds and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

Here is the route I have plotted from my current location:
https://spansh.co.uk/exact-plotter/results/593E66BC-85CC-11F1-B1E6-AF47A6B7484F

And below is by build. As a side note, the Opt EMPTY slot 5 is actually my MK11 hangar that contains my Nomad. I forget how to edit this but it makes virtually no distance when I do, so I don't think that is quite relevant.

https://edsy.org/#/L=Jl8dcBRf0H4C0S00,mpYJrO05,mpXCjw05,9p815AAAH56m_W0AROG55G_W0AiZG55J_W0Aty05BAi05BRuG52m_W0BeE15,,53c050PA050AA1534a057Sk05mpT08c151LU05072150KU052jwG59G_W06e4050nG250nF25,Colonial_0Sanders,w_A_A_A_Ar

Can you help? My max range is somewhere below 80 but surely I should be getting way more than just over 300 ly max?

Thank you!

Review on my Caspian exploration and exobio ship

4 Upvotes

Can I get some tips and recommendations for this Caspian exploration and exobio build I am putting together?
https://edsy.org/#/L=Jl00000X0C0S40,,DCYH05L_W0DCYH05L_W0DCYH05L_W0DCYH05L_W0CjwH05G_W0CjwH05G_W0,9p8H05I_W0A72H07K_W0AQGG05I_W0AiaG05J_W0AtyG03G_W0B98G05J_W0BRuG03G_W0BeE10,,53c100PAA00PAA01rq307SlH03K_W034a1008c10072B0072B06hC201IM300nF400nG402jwG-fG001P000,test,test

I am honestly quite happy with it but would like some opinions before putting it together.

I'm using prismatics for extra shields just in case of accidents. I was happy with the trade off to thermals and jump range for it.

Fighter hanger is a place holder for the nomad.

Two AFMUs because I have nothing else to use with these other slots.

Took inspiration from tips I read on this sub reddit the other day about another person's post.

Edit: Thank you for all the help! Thanks to the tips I got from this post here is the updated build.

I appreciate you all who took the time to comment and teach me! o7

Should I grind for a higher grade Artemis suit? I am in Colonia

2 Upvotes

I just arrived in Colonia earlier today (after a few hiccups). Is it worth unlocking the suit engineers here or is the standard Artemis suit fine for Exo? I plan on leaving soon for Sag A, then on to explore. I am somewhat confused about the suit situation as I know very little about it to be honest. Thanks!
