My Science Op

XB7 · Post by **XB7** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 3:59 pm

I finally got a decent science op on board, but we've been having some communication issues. Once in a while they give me a coordinate for an astroid to investigate. I'm given three numbers which I assume are x, y, z coordinates. However, the space is always empty when I investigate it.

Are the coordinate numbers given in a random order or do they stand for x - y - z respectively?

Science Op give two kind of messages, I think. One being coordinates [x,y,z], one being 'heading'/'pitch'. If coordinates, the item should be there!

i'm planning on getting a leaky space suite for when i hire a science op. that way when i arrive at his location i can put him in the suit and get him to go out there and point to the thing he found.

should keep him nice and accurate

co ords for asteroids are usually a little off, we don't want you jumping into an asteroid do we?

the point you get to will be close ( usually within visual distance), sometimes its a little further, but you are in the 'middle' of them - go and nearly any direction and you should see them pretty soon......

Anyway throw your science officer off the ship? WTF

I must be entering the coordinates in wrong then. I'll double check everything. Thanks!

BTW, with Accountant's hud mod, I've been able to run off the pitch/heading pretty accurately with one reading. That's a nice mod.

The small hud mod of his is very functional. I haven't tried the new one with the cup holder, lol.

If my science op looked like this....I'd have her running a lot of short range probes...
