Let's start by saying that the career of an exobiologist-explorer can be boring, for those who do not like exploration.

this career is also profitable for several reasons and requires some things to be able to start at its best

Explore the galaxy
land on some planets and explore them
Make Profit with esploration and Biological Scan

Here are some tips for starting this career in this game

First of all, the player who intends to undertake this career will have to obtain one of the following ships :

Diamondback Esplorer

and it's a great ship to start exploring but also a bit of exobiology, this ship besides having a nice design also allows you to jump 66 LY once it's engineered properly, if you want to use this ship you need to get the following modules

thanks to this configuration the player will be able to travel further and also do exobiology, obviously with the limitations of the ship

1C Lightweight Alloy with Heavy Duty as engineering and Deep Plating as experimental effect
3A Powerplant with Overcharged as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect
4D Thruster with Dirty as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect
5A FSD SCO with Jump Range as engineering and Mass Manager as experimental effect
3D Life Support
4D Power Distributor with Engine focused as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect
3D Sensor
5C Fuel Tank
4A Fuel Scoop
5H Guardian Frame Shift Drive
4D Shield Generrator
2E Cargo rack (4 Cap)
2E Cargo rack (4 Cap)
2G Planetary Vehicle Hangar with Scarab
Dettailed surface Scanner ( Pre-ingeneering) The basic one is also good to start with if you don't have the materials to unlock it
Supercruise Assist
Auto docking computer

The cost of the ship is around 20 million including all modules and about 900K of rebuys

ASP Explorer

It costs a little more than the Diamondback but allows a slightly wider jump of a few more Ly but a little less than the Kraith Phantom. The modules to install are identical, obviously aim for class A modules where necessary and with the right engineering.

the maximum jump of this engineered vessel is 71 Ly

1C Lightweight Alloy with Heavy Duty as engineering and Deep Plating as experimental effect
2A Powerplant with Overcharged as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect
4D Thruster with Dirty as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect
5A FSD SCO with Jump Range as engineering and Mass Manager as experimental effect
4D Life Support
3D Power Distributor with Engine focused as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect

Dettailed surface Scanner ( Pre-ingeneering) The basic one is also good to start with if you don't have the materials to unlock it
Supercruise Assist
Auto docking computer

the total cost is 58 million about of which 2.5 million are Rebuys including all modules

Kraith Phantom

excellent exploration ship also offers the possibility of having a bit of cargo, more slots than the asp and diamondback also jumps 75 LY once maxed out the modules to install are the same as the other 2 ships

Supercruise Assist

the cost will exceed 200 million this is due to some Class A modules that are expensive, but the ship also offers excellent maneuverability the only flaw of this ship is that to make it jump 75 LY you will unfortunately have a shield that is not very resistant, the rebuy has a cost of around 4 million

Anaconda

the anaconda is a large ship and for exploration let's say it's not bad, the problem with this ship is the cost, but once engineered you can jump as much as 80 LY it offers space for many more modules, the main modules to install are always the same but with the addition of the Auto-Field Mantainement Unit (AFM) excellent for repairing the ship in case of damaged modules, as said this ship is not really suitable for exploration but it can be used for this purpose without too many problems

This ship has a maneuverability that is not the best due to its size, but it does its job and it is possible to install 8 Harpoints and 8 Utility Mounts and make it a combat ship but the build is totally different compared to the exobiological exploration one.

The cost of Rebuy is slightly higher by about 5 Million

Mandalay

The Mandalay is the ship of choice for exploration as it allows you to jump 90 LY and can even reach 93 LY as a Jump Range. This ship is easy to maneuver and the necessary modules are

1C Lightweight Alloy with Heavy Duty as engineering and Deep Plating as experimental effect
4A Powerplant with Overcharged as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect
4D Thruster with Dirty as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect
5A FSD V1 SCO Pre-Engineering) with Jump Range as engineering and Mass Manager as experimental effect ( it is necessary to unlock it from the relevant Broker)
4D Life Support
1D Power Distributor with Engine focused as engineering and Striped Down as experimental effect
5D Sensor
5C Fuel Tank
6A Fuel Scoop
5H Guardian Frame Shift Drive
4A Shield Generrator
4A Auto Field Maintenance Unit

With this ship you can jump long distances, Pre-Engineered FSD is useful on this ship because it allows you to greatly increase the Jump Range

I could talk for hours about the Exobiology Explorer career but I'll stop here, for me this is the best career you can do in Elite Dangerous because it allows you to not only explore the systems but also land on planets to scan stuff which is a lot of fun.

this is my technological hero, I use it practically every day that I am in front of the pc, the G502 Hero is a truly excellent mouse even if at home, were amazed by how precise the mouse is, a little angry about the price, but in the end it was worth it, we are very satisfied. I had to change it because my previous mouse had abandoned us.

I Used : EDASTRO

I used edastro to generate ship names and what I got as names left me speechless, I discarded some names because they were too vulgar, I chose the ones that I think are best for me and the worst for me, obviously the system generated names that are better not to write, now I don't know how the algorithm for generation is based but a filter to avoid generating vulgar names would have been useful

Part 1 Find a Good Seed from the Game and build the house

I found a particular seed that generated an island in the middle of a sort of small lake and I took advantage of it to create my house and garden

Part 2 build the Garden

starting from the house I built a small path with fruit trees until reaching the garden where there is a fountain with fish

the roof is made of blocks of different types of leaves placed in the shape of steps and wood in the central part where there is also the candelabra

I put hedges around it to divide the various areas with plants and fruit trees

I also created a bench and an area with three vases where you can put more flowers.

from the second floor of the house you can see the garden with the writing JUST

I used different blocks like

stone

Cherry wood

cherry leaf blocks

oak fance

hedge

and many other blocks

the word JUST was created using the terracotta blocks of 4 different colors, yellow, green, blue and purple

I have attached YOUTUBE videos and photos , I hope it goes well and you like my work

the final boss of the Elden Ring DLC is the most difficult thing I've faced, I spent 6 days straight (I played the DLC 17 hours a day) trying to defeat it, not so much the first phase which is quite simple but the second phase is something monstrous, the boss starts to do area attacks inflicting huge damage despite being of a much higher level.

After several attempts I managed to defeat it but after 6 days though

My ship that I use now is called USS Galaxy Enterprise with ID SOL-01, and it is a ship dedicated exclusively to exploration and exobiology.

All the ships that I have have very similar names such as Solaris Enterprise or Solaris Exploration Ship, for the Mandaley instead I opted for a different name namely USS Galaxy Enterprise since it is a ship that I will use very very often.

the name also comes a bit from Star Trek. Instead of simply calling it USS Enterprise like the one in Star Trek, I wanted to add the word galaxy to make it more personal.

Ragnarok Odyssey Ace

I platinumed this game way back in 2019 on PS3 a couple of months before getting my PC. And it was a truly monstrous feat, because the game was platinumed at the time I had only gotten it from 1000 people worldwide, now in 2025 we have reached 1800 platinumers and it's also nice to see people still playing it.

the game is a Korean-style JRPG based on Ragnarok Online in which the player can choose different roles, which can change once chapter 3 is completed, as well as customizing your character, the entire adventure can be played both alone with a team composed of AI and in cooperative with PS3 or PS VITA users since the game is both Cross Save and Crossplay between the 2 platforms mentioned, furthermore the version available on the PS store is the ACE one which includes both the base game + the expansion called Ace which makes obtaining the platinum very very difficult.

the game gives the player to decide the role he wants to play , among the 6 available Warrior, Assassin -Hammer-Cleric -Archer and mage and it is possible to change roles at the fort farthest in your own room where it is possible to switch the role type, but the type of weapons that can be used will also change, for example if you choose the wizard you can only use sticks, the warrior the sword and so on, each class and its combos that are done by pressing specific keys and not only. before each mission the player can buy weapons and weapons in the center of the fort Farthest while in the mission room he can buy potions and skills. the difficulty of the game however is given by the fact that as the player advances in the game the missions will be more difficult also because all the missions of the game are timed and the difficulty is marked by the number of stars. in the game there are 2 types of stars, the normal yellow ones that go from 1 to 12 and the Golden ones (Ace Expansion) that go from 12 to 15+ which increase the difficulty (Enemies and bosses will have double health and double damage). To platinum the game, however, it is sufficient to complete the base game by doing all the chapters and secondary missions, complete the Yggdrasil tower and all its 200 Lower Floors and 200 High Floors (for a total of 400 Floors), complete the ACE story + all the secondary missions and collect all the cards that are dropped by the enemies randomly, in addition there is also a card with a very low rarity that can only be dropped by a specific enemy that spawns rarely in the upper floors 150-200 of the tower with an apple on its head the % that appears is 1% called Domovoi Ranger.

it is also possible to find legendary weapons dropped by some bosses with a low % or craft legendary weapons by completing the blacksmith's missions, which can take over 20 hours to get a weapon since it requires you to do very specific actions, for example to get the weapon Ishikirimaru<Reugoku> and it is necessary to complete all the missions of the branch b of the warrior that the blacksmith will offer you, but the time to do them all can even exceed 70 hours given the difficulty of some.

but the game doesn't end here, the Ace expansion not only introduces a new story but also the enemies and bosses will have doubled life, the Yggdrasil tower is also added, a mode in which you can choose the number of rooms to do, starting from a minimum of 5 rooms at a time up to a maximum of 25 rooms in which you will have to face enemies and bosses randomly with checkpoints to buy potions and various consumable items every 5 rooms.

and finally the prison of the Gods is added, a mode where you can find legendary equipment such as cards and not only but under a particular condition, in this mode players will have to decide how many bosses to face in a row from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 7 random bosses to do in a row and the difficulty, and to get the best possible equipment it is necessary to complete this mode several times at the ACE Rank or without the use of consumables such as healing potions, potion that give buff (in fact, to select this difficulty it is necessary to remove every potion and consumable from the inventory) , etc. with the bosses with double HP and Damage multiplied x3 and within a set time that you decide, in fact this mode is designed to be played online with friends and a well-coordinated team. only by doing the prison of the Gods at the Ace Rank will it be possible to reduce the farming of both legendary weapons and some cards to collect.

apart from the difficulty, the game has a truly amazing and very catchy soundtrack, especially some Boss Fights, you can search for it on YT as well as a myriad of contents including additional DLC, mostly aesthetic.

I have attached images of my platinum with the date I got it from both the PlayStation App and PSNPROFILES

Time spent for Platinum: 2 Years and 2 months actual ( It is possible to import saves for those who played the version without the ACE expansion, available only for PS VITA, into the Odyssey Ace version available for PS3 and PS VITA in order to unlock most of the trophies and reduce the time to obtain the platinum.)
