Glowing Orb?
Anyone have any clues to what I should do? I'm in a system where the orb finally started glowing violet but the next system over it's off altogether again. I also flew into every direction from that system and at some points the orb either went back to blue or stopped glowing altogether again

I'm not sure if it's randomized, but for me it was just a bit to the south from the location I got the orb, in deep space. Imagine that the blue is the farthest from your goal - it's the color of the outer ring of a big circle. The more close you are to the center of that circle the more rings you will pass, each one is marked by different color. Your goal is in the center of the circle.

violet is worse than blue. I thought as well that violet was better, but it's the opposite.
The color progression from farthest to nearest is:
violet - blue - green - yellow - orange - red

The target is at -10.80 X 30.38

Lol, great :D Isn't violet a mix of blue and red? Kinda weird that it's below blue...

not really, thats just an artificial consequence of the visible light spectrum being wrapped into a circle to make the common color wheel.

Visible light spectrum is often summarized with the "name" ROY-G-BIV, the final letters being blue-indigo-violet as it shifts towards higher energy wavelenghts.. eventually going into ultraviolet.

people think of Red as "warmer" probably because that is the direction you find infrared and thermal radiation in, and that is what color things glow in when you heat them up.. but it is actually the less energetic end of the visible spectrum.

that's jist the order of the visible light spectrum, but the reverse order, from the shortest wavelength to the longest

Also if you work with "color temperature" longer wavelengths are considered "warmer" and shorter are "cooler". if you're buying lightbulbs, for example.

They're not really warmer or cooler, it is just the psycological effect you get from looking at that kind of light.
