Etarc Hub Is Open

Well if we’re going that route, I just found an extreme radiation moon with “Gamma Cyclones” and angry sentinels :smiling_imp: Not sure if everyone else is up for that though. I think capital location deserves it’s own thread too.

Beacons are visible to other players if you build them within your base area. This will mark a player base unmistakably (since you would know that you did not place it yourself.)

(Reposted in case you didn’t see this information before)

Okay, I’ve only explored five systems in the lower Bezesi Cluster, but reflexively uploaded all of them. :anguished: However, will refrain from uploading anymore.

Sounds like a good system. All this info would be covered with a screenshot of the planet details display.

Another screenshot of the planet, and some detailed notes of discoveries?

The concern is that a single post on a system with say six planets would become a massive post, even with just one screenshot of each planet. Then, consider how many posts will accumulate in a single thread! :thinking:

Add to that 37 individual systems with multiple planets and moons each…

Personally, I think a system by system rundown with planetary bodies included in a single post is the way to go.

One person runs the post while others forward their finds and details via PM. Post master can then stack and edit and verify the order using the G-map before adding to the post.

@tajay I dropped into to your CB farm just before. Nice set-up :wink: walked away richer. Nice colours on your planet.
Got some great shots of the star chain from in your system too, which I’ll post when I’ve got a moment.

Text is nice for data entry, with pictures in hidden detail feature. I could make a google spread sheet up.
ex. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qilpVOtRpT0nXBzmsQaqUzpMgxg7aDQ782PWEVciltY/edit?usp=sharing
I can give a few editing access, and then all can just report to the new thread.
ex. [ETARC HUB]: CSFD Address reporting

Also see. ETARC - New Discoveries Questionnaire (this needs work)

While the information can be obtained by screenshot, I think it would be better to use a text system like this in the posts. A six planet system would be a large post, but it will get complicated if we had an individual post for each planet. 37 stars, plus the list, would mean the entire thread would be 38 posts long. Relatively small. And we could make the planets names in the first post links to the exact post for easy reference. I like @Sir_oops idea about the hidden detail feature for pictures too. We can keep it short, neat and easy to use.

Really need a place/person to report data to as systems are explored. Brevity is best!

Yeah, I found your com-ball at my base. Kept my previous base design almost exactly. Form follows function, nothing very fancy. Really like that Star Bramble grows so nicely outside - keeps construction to the minimal.

Glad you were enriched by your visit! :smile:

You should have @ me on this post or sent me a private message about this Xion. I didn’t notice you said this and had no idea you wanted us to stop exploring. Luckily one of my other Spacing Guild members noticed this post. I will tell my members to stop uploading names immediately.

I’ve been having issues with specificity. This won’t apply to TSG. It was meant to help prevent misnaming and unnecessary claiming by overzealous Etarcians in the chain itself. Rest assured, if I had issues with your guild’s services I would let you know. The data you’ve gathered so far will be invaluable when we start to catalogue the entire Hub.

Returned to ETARC CELLAR hunting some Emeril and discovered it has been getting some use since I first found it.

Is that another player riding on your ship!?

We were playing about in space and I snapped a shot just as we passed through each other.
I have another pic in the space station where it looks like @itzandp owns my ship as we both landed on the same spot.

Please excuse my Dust guys, I’d been in that writers block mode for months, writing plenty just was in a state of mind where I’d be unhappy with anything. That block disipatted last week and I started churning out the tunes again, was afraid to dive into no mans sky in case it went away again. My base is all ready to go I just need to log in and get you guys an address! Hope you are all well and I hope to be back exploring with you wonderful travellers soon, (p.s I also got Skyrim VR so… This may actually be my last post ever… I just might not know it yet!) If HG ever patch in VR for NMS, goodnight! I don’t think it’ll happen considering how much the draw distance was reduced (and rag doll is turned off entirely) just to get a 7 year old game running on PSVR, but I remain ever hopeful that some day… Even if its PC only Occulus, that we will get our NMS VR experience. Till Then, I have EVE: Valkyrie (pew pew pew!).

Jesus, gotta stop goin off on those tangents… So yeah. Bacxk soon guys, keep the universe cosy and warm for me!

I have posted the information for 6/37 stars. I still have more waiting, and will continue tomorrow. If you have any suggestions for the posting method, let me know (preferably now, while it’s easy to fix).

Make sure you check the list prior to submission, there is no need for you to type out redundant submissions. If you have notes/details to add or see a mistake in what is posted, let me know. A special thanks to all members who submitted their findings :clap:

It would be sad to lose you @toddumptious. I never thought of NMS in VR, that would be a sight to see. Please let me know if Skyrim VR is as awesome as it sounds.

Skyrim was an excellent open world RPG… only a respite for galactic exploration to be sure.
