It’s not in the analysis visor info. You can only see these values if it’s a record, then it gets recorded to the wonders section in the pause menu.

Also, if you select the milestone as your current mission it will show you your current record in the bottom right of the HUD.

The pirates always follow you, so just fly a bit further away from the freighter and they’ll follow and won’t be able to duck in and out the freighter shields.

After doing some searching around it seems that unfortunately the ph level milestone is bugged.

The milestone and wonders page is actually tracking the highest ph instead of the lowest ph. I can confirm this with my own experience, my lowest ph was 3.6, I scanned another animal and got a message saying new record low but the ph level went UP to 4.2. I then scanned another animal and got the message again saying new record low and the ph level went up again to 4.3.

The only way to get this milestone done at the moment is to make sure that the very first animal you scan on a toxic planet has a ph below 2.5, otherwise you’re screwed. Hopefully they’ll patch this at some point.

I’ve seen ppl encountering this bug on xbox, PlayStation and PC, don’t know about switch but I would assume they have the bug too. Apparently if you’re on PC you can use a save editor to reset the wonder and then go to a planet where you know there is an animal with a ph below 2.5 and scan it first. Not tried that myself as I’m on Xbox.

Oh you absolute legend!

I started playing at 12pm today and finally gave up at 6pm. 6 hours! I must have visited more than 50 systems without finding a suitable planet.

No. That and finding a hostile planet are the only 2 things I have left to do. I’ve visited dozens and dozens of systems.

Let me know if you find either of those.

Thank you for that information.

More bad news: I had a go at this earlier and flying straight into the freighters hangar and ignoring the battle is bugged. If you try to land in the freighter without killing all the pirates first the whole freighter fleet and all the ships involved in the battle simply vanish in to thin air. Hopefully that one will get fixed at some point.

So right now that means you have to finish the battle each time before you can even see what class the freighter is which will add significantly more time to your search.

Well I can tell you what I know but it is certainly possible that the latest update has changed everything. I haven’t tried getting a freighter since the update. The fact that there is now a chance to encounter a pirate freighter definitely mixes things up… I don’t know how that might affect things though.

It used to be that you’d play until you encountered a freighter battle then load up your previous restore point so you know that next time you warp you’re going to encounter a freighter battle. You could then go to the galaxy map and select a star system, warp in, take a look at the capital freighter and decide if it’s one you like. If not, reload your restore point and choose another star system (each star system has its own capital freighter that never changes).

It’s best to choose 3 star economy systems or pirate systems when looking for a freighter. As I remember, a 3 star system has a 2% chance of spawning an S class freighter, that’s a one in 50 chance so you may have to do a lot of reloading until you get S class. Pirate systems have a better chance of S class at 5% but the freighters will have less cargo slots so you’ll need to spend more time upgrading their storage. 2 star economies only have a 1% chance of S class and 1 star economies cannot spawn an S class.

Once you find a freighter you like just keep reloading your previous save until it spawns as S class. Now, I always do it by just reloading my save and then warping in to the system, but apparently you can warp in to the system, land at the space station, exit your ship to create a new restore point and then use that restore point to keep loading from. So you’d load up that restore point, fly out the space station and the freighter battle should still be there.

To check the freighter you can ignore the battle and just fly straight in to the freighters landing bay. Exit your ship (this doesn’t create a new restore point as a save isn’t made on npc freighters) bring up your scanner and look at the floor/wall/whatever of the landing bay and it will give you the freighter info including it’s class, no need to go up to the bridge. If it’s not S class, reload your restore point and try again.

That’s how it used to work anyway. I don’t know if you can just ignore the battle anymore and fly straight in to the hangar.

I cannot deny there is a sense of satisfaction that comes from using rockets.

Infra knife goes brrrr.

Seriously though, it’s the only weapon I have installed on all my ships. It rips through shields and ship hulls.

I always upgrade it with S class modules at first then hunt for decent X class ones.

Your 3 languages put my 1 to shame.

‘Recipe’ is the spelling you’re looking for.

They’ve been around for a while now, since the waypoint update I think… maybe even endurance.

As far as I’m aware they can happen anywhere in space. Most ppl don’t notice them because they don’t really appear unless you stop and stay in the same place for a minute or 2.

Diablo 4. I’m gonna wait quite a while for this one I think. Firstly I’m not willing to pay the price it is right now but mostly because the game needs to get better. It took a long time for Diablo 3 to turn in to a decent game.

Starfield. I’ll definitely be giving this one at least a year, probably more. I’m expecting it to be riddled with bugs at release, possibly even borderline unplayable.

Sexy trump isn’t real, sexy trump can’t hurt me.

Greed.

I tried a couple of others and they both worked fine, I just stuck with openvpn. Eddie was the only one I had trouble with.

Haven’t tried wireguard so can’t comment on that but I suspect it will work just fine.

I’ve been using airvpn for 5 years or so and can confirm the port forwarding works for me.

I had trouble with their vpn client app (eddy or Eddie I think it’s called) so I just switched to the OpenVPN client and have had zero problems since then.

I’m gonna preface this comment by saying none of the games I mention below are bad games, in fact I think they’re very good games… they just weren’t for me.

The Outer Wilds:

I’m probably gonna take some flack for this one! I was SO looking forward to this game, I’d heard such great things about it.

I played it for around 10-15 hours, all the while thinking to myself ‘any time now this game will open up and I’ll get to the main meat of the game.’ I slowly came to the realisation that this wasn’t going to happen and that the game wasn’t going to change gear or anything. Ultimately I found the game boring.

The game is about exploration and piecing together a story, unfortunately I found the story dull and consequently didn’t care about piecing it together. Im also one of those gamers that often quick clicks through dialogue, I just want the gist of what’s being said. I want to ‘play’ a game, I don’t want to ‘read’ a game. I have books for that.

I also didn’t enjoy the exploration, I found it tedious. Now that’s strange for me… I love exploration games. I’ve wondered about this and I think the reason I didn’t enjoy exploration in the out wilds is the art style. The ‘cutesy’ art style just left me cold. None of the locations filled me with awe or wonder. I never got that feeling of ‘I wonder what’s over there!’ like I do in other exploration games.

Red Dead Redemption:

I’ve tried to play this game 3 times now. Each time I get so far and just stop…. It just bores me!

On paper this should be exactly the type of game I love, but for some reason I just don’t. I’ve thought long and hard about this game, why does it fail to keep me engaged? I’ve come up with a couple of potential reasons.

Colours. This game can be very mono chromatic. It’s often all dull greys and browns and I genuinely think that does play a part in me finding my time in the game dull also.

Getting around. Travel is tedious in this game and there’s a lot of it. It’s walking or horses.

The map. The map is large, but a lot of it is empty and looks the same.

Missions. I often found them a chore and quite repetitive.

I’m kind of still on the fence about this game, I still wonder if there’s a hump to get over and then the game opens up…. But I fear there isn’t.

Control:

This one is my fault. I don’t like fps games and didn’t realise that’s what this game was. I thought it was more puzzle solving and exploration.

I like the story and I like the art style but ultimately it’s a ‘pew pew pew’ game, which isn’t fun for me.
