Module Malfunction

[Centisteed]

I'm about ready to pull my hair out!!

I'm in Maia, I'm using the external cam to search for a remaining biological on one of the planets. I already got the other two. So I'm in the camera suite hunting the ground for the last bio.

After a long search for the third one and it never showing up, I decide its time to go back up to space and pick another location.

Well, the second I get back into the cockpit, there is a warning and danger going on saying "Module Malfunction"

I have no idea what is causing this!!! I've never seen it give this error before and no way to understand what is going on. I'm trying to stop or land but the ship isn't responding.

I had less than a minute to act and the whole damn ship blew up.

I'm checking the logs and it looks like the Meta Alloys, the whole reason I went to Maia, had destroyed the ship! Why the hell would Farseer ask you to get this without giving any warning about it being corrosive to the ship?!?!?

Jumping in late, sorry if this is a repeat, 1st I have thousands of meta alloy if you need another for Felicia just let me know and I can get you one, or show you where to farm them.

2nd sucks with the silent running.

3rd, you can target specific bio signals from orbit in the surface scanner interface. I believe the default keys are q and e to switch signals. Has helped me with tough flora in the past.

My dude, why are seemingly all of your threads about you dying in very silly ways without knowing why it happened? :sohandsome:

Thanks for the laugh :)...

I can picture the hapless pilot, everything goes wrong. Nobody will ride with him, mechanics avoid his ship, everyone avoids him in the concourse.

He is the Wile E. Coyote of space, and his ship if full of replacement parts he ordered from the Acme corporation.

As he passes you in an yet another uncontrolled descent to certain destruction, you see him holding up a white placard sign with one simple word...HELP

Can't wait to run across him in space....


Fun Fact: There is a movie being developed titled "Coyote vs. ACME", starring John Cena and Will Forte, directed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy 2)

Movie premise-After all of the ACME Corporation's products backfired on Wile E. Coyote, in his pursuit of the Road Runner, he hires an equally-unlucky human attorney to sue the company. When Wile E.'s lawyer finds out that his former law firm's intimidating boss is ACME's CEO, he teams up with the coyote to win the court case against him.

I was surprised as everyone else. Just accident prone in this game. I used to smuggle illegal cargo, but now I just deep six it if it says "illegal cargo" in the ship for fear of getting shot down.

I'm just wondering what's gonna take me out next that I haven't experienced yet...

High gravity planet, forgetting to throttle down when you jump to another system and crashing into a star (what I like to call the "Icarus manoeuvre"), white dwarf or neutron star mishap... there's all kinds of ways to die in Elite, really. Probably tons that you haven't experienced yet.

I can help with that, stop near an orbital line while FSSing the system. When the star/planet traveling on that orbital line runs you over, it's fun city coming out of FSS.
