    I'm not aware of any resource that has logged the atmospheric limits of the various planets, unfortunately, but if you keep your speed under 1500km/h as you enter a planet, you shouldn't take any reentry damage.

    This will depend on the cross section of your ship.  If it looks like a wall from the front, go slower.

    I scanned about 50 tiles on Madis Moon 1. I found no high tier ore. The scans took, with travel time, about 15 hours. Worse I spend another 10 hours chasing 5 false positives. So this is the first game, in the 35 years I play video games, that I spend 25 hours on and accomplishing absolutely nothing.

    At the current state, mining 10 million blocks with a stone axe in minecraft is more fun and rewarding than mining in DU.

     

    Moons are bad.  Proof; every planet has at least one node of t1 present, per ore, per hex.  Sometimes more than 1.  

     

     

    T3 about 1 every 15-20 hexes,  on average, on Alioth (may differ on other planets). 

     

    Moons have 1 t1 about very 2 or 3 hexes.

     

    You can then imagine how hard it is to find t3 on a moon.

    People need to learn that you can "lose" and still have fun. having fun does not mean you always win. 

    Most fun I had in Elite Dangerous Non-PVP (PVP was the Code destroying two anti Code groups in an ambush of their pvp training session) was getting my buggy trapped in a crevasse and spending 2 hours getting it out.

     

    The act of building a ship will stimulate me enough.  Who cares what happens to it afterwards?

     

    The fate of glass is to break.

    The unanswered question proves my point. 

    Its my opinion. It may not be yours. 

     

    What ever is the reason why ppl spends hours in this game, i have a feeling its not gunna help their "civilization building" skills. 

    And i still think NQ needs to give up on this lazy non interference overview and start thinking very seriously in guiding mechanics. 

    It was answered.  That you dont like the answer is a different thing.   I prefer a positive outlook.  I dont know of your negative viewpoint of human behaviour is affecting your ability to socialise though.  I wouldn't make such a stupid assumption.

    So why do those ppl dedicate massive daily hours to DU instead of paying attention to their families and RL activities? 

    I dont know, they don't tell me anything.

     

    Look, I realise you think that question was a laser like burst of ultimate truth or proof or whatever, but it really isn't.

     

    Some people have x amount of free time due to individual circumstances too myriad to list.  Sometimes it's their only free time interest, sometimes like me, they get an hour a two a day - if that.

     

    Also, It's also worth saying that playing for longer than this =/= no social skills.  The only thing it proves without doubt is that, for the moment, they have a lot of free time.

     

    Also, also, a lot of these people are communicating and socialising whilst playing, further making your point worthless.

    Exceptions dont make the rule. 

    It was an example as the forum couldn't cope with listing every single exemption on the planet.

     

    Not that I could give enough examples to change a fixed and limited, and if I may, bigoted outlook.

     

    Most of the clans I've been in have been full.of mature individuals with families and employment which indicates a certain ability to socialise normally.

    This serves to prove a point i tried to make in the past:

    "Expect the worst of ppl"

     

    Most ppl playing MMOs have some kind of problem with RL socializing. 

    Why would our kind of ppl be fitted to build a civilization without hard NQ 

     

    That guy who died who was head of diplomacy for the Meta PVPers and troublemakers Goons Squad in Eve was a real life, high level diplomat who, you'd assume was pretty good at real socializing.

     

    Most people can separate their in game  behaviour from real life because they can tell the difference between "play" and "life" unlike those who think they must be saintly everywhere regardless of the location or milieu which suggests a certain mental limitation masquerading as righteousness.

    No. The fetch tool was not designed to be used that way.

    If you do that, you will be banned from the game by NQ for exploiting a game mechanic in an unintended fashion ?

     

    Please explain how I can destroy someone else's core on my territory in 30 seconds... Sounds handy...

    Love too, sounds like a idea I'd want to crash into at speed.  Alas, I cant explain how to do an exploit.
