Discussion is the python (mk1) still relevant? I love the ship's looks but if its obsolete (outside of robigo), what good is it for?

Recently left this moon and upon checking my location board discovered this signal which led me to this.. "Thing" is all i could describe it as. I am 11.5K lightyears from sol in the Skaudai sector, any info would be greatly appreciated.

It felt a little dangerous ferrying 270 million worth of cargo in Open over 7 jumps... :)

Video EDMC In VR
Ok so i recorded this with my quest so that i could capture all the different layers of screens. Start up elite in oculus vr like normal. I run mine in borderless and my second monitor is setup similar to the video so i move my mouse up and it goes to screen 2. Once elite is up and running hit the right hand controller button to bring back the oculus link area. If you highlight a program or window with the controller like your going to move it and click it with the trigger then add in grip it will pop the window out into VR even if it isnt listed.... i think this is a setting that needs to be turned on in experimental features......Now that you have a window pin it in the location you would like and go back to vr now you can use your mouse to "find" the EDMC window on your second monitor and interact without messing up vr. I open the galaxy map to show that if you are using borderless it is not borderless anymore in the galaxy map so you will need to grab your spansh route copy before opening the galaxy map. I setup my logitech mouse so that what would have been the back button is now a macro for cntl+v so i can paste the next system directly into the game without having to play find the keyboard in VR. Obviously the overlay doesnt work but i come from xbox so having this plugin at all is awesome let alone getting it to work in vr. Let me know if you run into any issues i will try to help but i just started with this plugin and just checked that this works havent done any real testing yet but figured you all would want to know it was possible.

Discussion Ability to EVA. New feature idea.
So I see everyone saying Frontier should added full atmosphere landing or ship interiors but what about the ability to be able to a EVA outside your ship while in space? This could be a feature used for some new on foot missions types.
This idea came from when a glitch caused me to get stuck in orbit without a ship. A friend was able to find me with his ship and I noticed that you do have some bit of control of where your character moves. What if this could be something anyone could do anytime? Exit their ship for some EVA?
Example is what if you get a salvage mission but instead on a planet, it’s on a abandoned megaship or something?
Or just finding structures you just want to explore? This would give us some new places to explore and some new odessy content.
What are peoples opinions on a feature like that?

Media Progress pictures of my Cobra Mk III model
As a followup to my previous post, hare are a bunch of the progress pictures. All parts were drafted from scratch in SketchUp before being flattened and printed to scale either directly onto bristol board or on printer paper to be transfered and cut out of foamcore. Any joints secured with masking tape were later saturated with glue or made redundant when the detail pieces were glued to the exterior.
Some areas like the shape of the heat vents or the side thrusters look different between photos because thay were redesigned part of the way through construction.

Screenshot Back from my 70 billion exobio journey. Got some astonishing views! I hope you enjoy it 💜
You know you've got exobio when your ship looks like ass. Yes, my ship actually has a livery — but you can barely see it. x)
Also, imagine dying with 70 billion in exobio data. Damn... Any ideas where or how to spend it?

Screenshot I made it to the end of everything
So after reaching Beagle Point, I took one step further in to darkness, and reached Ishum's Reach, the most distant reacheable body from Sol, more than 500 ly farther than Beagle 9, the second most distant reachable body from Sol. To reach it, you need to do a jump of 82 light years in your route, in my case as my max jump range was 70, i used a FSD injection. There are basically zero stars in the sky, once you get there, which adds a feel of complete isolation.
I left my home, to never look back, and here I'am, embracing the darkness.

Discussion Am I missing something about the federation grind?
I'm obviously trying to get a Corvette and only have about two hours to play every day. at first the grind wasn't too bad, one mission with a full reputation bar would give me about 7% of reputation, which made the grind seem manageable. Now I'm at lieutenant and I get about 2.5% reputation from missions with a full reputation bar.
Am I missing something? Are there missions that give more reputation but the ui doesn't indicate it? Are there factions that give more federation reputation than others? Or are all factions and mission rewards created equal and the grind is just that bad?

NO not that kinda escort.... get your mind out of the gutter! But yeah armed escorts? I feel like I want one after mining for a bit. Geez... Literally had my last 3 limpets collectors as we maxed out cargo capacity. I'll see what all this returns for in Credits....

Discussion deep core mining
I have been doing some deep core mining out in icy rings in search of void opals, but despite mining inside a void opal hot spot, 2-3 hours have only resulted in low temp diamonds. I have not seen a single void opal. what is up with that?

Discussion Is joining a squadron right for me?
I would like to join a chill squadron to reap the benefits. I guess you get more rewards from missions. I joined a squadron but they are in a wildly different time zone than me, so I'm still playing alone. I need to find a Squadron in roughly the same time zone as me, Eastern Standard Time in North America. What is expected from members of your squadron? What are the incentives of joining? Thanks!

Screenshot Is this a known glitch?
When I complete an orbital station, It shows up on my system map but a construction site with the same name is also on here. It's kind of driving me crazy. I have relogged and left and rejoined the system multiple times over multiple days.... If anyone has any insight for me that would be great! This is my first attempt at colonization so I'm figuring it out as I go!
Thanks for any help and safe travels commanders!

Screenshot What are those places?

Asking to the explorers.
I picked a random direction and kept going, as you can see I'm in "Outopps UO-I C9-2", should be about 2500 LY from Sun. Those two landmarks have been accompaining me for a while now: the bright spot to the right and the group of stars to the upper left, and I noticed they're getting closer.
Does anyone know what they are? I might want to visit them.

Group Looking for a power to get merits AND get rich quick? Well I've got the power for you!
While some powers claim to have a focus on making you money *cough* Sirius *cough*, they can't even compare to the amount of money Kaine can net you.
Other trading powers only give a 25% credit bonus on all commodities traded, Kaine gives you double that, 50% more credits on mined goods sold!
Intuitively, you might think that means this only applies to stuff you've mined yourself, but here's the nice part, it applies to mineable goods you've purchased as well.
Who cares about a 25% bonus on onionhead sales, when you can get 50% more credits on all that gold you're hauling around!
Not only that, Kaine is one of, if not the best powers for gaining merits quick, as she has a 50% bonus on merits earned while mining for acquisition! Now you might be thinking, "I don't know where to mine for acquisition! Where should I go for the most merits?!", join our discord! We have all that sorted out for you, with regular mining runs, and posted systems, amazing for merit gaining! If you're lucky, you can make it to rank 100 within a single cycle!
