⚡ Lightning reward! Report back from the assault on Sol! ⚡

Having never made an attack on a Titan, I was definitely nervous entering the caustic cloud surrounding Cocijo. But my caustic sinks did their job, and I successfully avoided the pulse wave attack of the massive Thargoid. Then, as I was approaching for my fist bombing run, a bright light hit my eyes. It wasn't a Thargoid attack, nor was it weapons fire from a fellow Commander. It was Sol, the sun itself. That humble G-type main sequence star has warmed & protected humanity for thousands of years. I was reminded of why I was here; to protect our precious cradle Earth and to save as many lives as possible. The sooner Cocijo feel, the sooner we could start recovering & rebuiliding.

Share your best Mandalay build!

Here is a Mandalay long-range exploration build I've been using since day one of owning the ship. This is focused on solo exobiology & exploration far away from the Bubble. Note: I recommend stocking up on every possible material you might need for repairs, making limpets, and of course FSD Boosting. It's a wee bit fragile so don't lithobreak into high-G planets!

Highlights:

-Stripped Down modules whenever possible to minimize weight & maximize jump range.

-Two AMFUs. The backup is to repair the main AMFU if it breaks.

-Repair limpet controller, but no limpets to start. Bring materials to make limpets as-needed.

-It can carry two SRVs, but if you are a cautious driver maybe you can just bring one.

-Feel free to swap out the second AFMU for a tiny refinery and add on a mining laser. This will make you a bit more self-sufficent in the long term.

I acquired a Mandalay as soon as I could and engineered it for long-range exploration.

My destination: Lyed YJ-I d9-0m AKA Amundsen's Star. When viewing the galaxy map from top-down, this system is the furthest "south" one can go. It's not the most far-flung you can get from Sol, but since it's at the extreme edge of the galaxy you get some amazing views!

After travelling for weeks, it's almost terrifying to see the whole galaxy -where all other life resides- light up the night sky. And not a stray star up there; just the inky dark of intergalactic void.

Verified

That being said, there is life here; strange trees in space, and the helpful crew of the DSSA TTV Somdy!

After collecting critical supplies and leaving a massive tip at the bar, I explored more of the system. Lyed YJ-I d9-0 has three(!) water worlds orbiting its main star, and one of them is a possible candidate for terraforming (seen below). I wonder if we'll ever send a colony ship out this far...

Verified

Finally, it was time to say goodbye to Amundsen's Star. I fuel scooped the main star, just to carry some atoms of the extreme frontier with me back to the Bubble...

I'd be the Detailed Surface Scanner because I like exploration, and I like scanning for lil lifeforms!

I usually don't do ExoBio in the Bubble, but when I come across something I've never seen before I GOTTA scan it.

One of my better celebratory "first footfall" screenshots, IMO.
