Problems Scanning

[Cometborne]

However, I was still looking for the germanium

Well, I have 29 units in my inventory and would be willing to share, but I am not aware of any method to transfer materials from player to player once you have collected them. Cargo yes, materials no.

I'll probably ticket for FD awareness, though.

Please do, the same thing can happen with ships, which is another level of frustrating. Especially if it happens 95% of the way to Beagle Point or so.

Only problem I have is that I can't scan with my SRVs data link scanner.

The tips to change my keybinds and activate some stuff from one/two years ago somehow didn't help sadly.

Check the Firegroups. The update wacked the firegoups for the SRV and it remove the Scanner from it. I had to reset the scanner to my firegroup then log out and back in to get mine to work.

Yeah I also tried that but its not working.

Strange.....That's all I did...Went into firegroups and put everything in one group with primary = fire and secondary = scan.......

Originally it had shoved my scanner in a secondary firegroup and that's why it was not working....

Found out last night bindings for fire turret and scanner are being swapped around since 2.1 (i.e fire bind = scanner and scanner bind = fire).
Not funny when 3 skimmers are shooting at you and your parked ship.

If you both go to same planet one can pick up the materials the other discards i would think. My Dumped mats show for me and are re-scoopable.
Hmm might even work in space.

So mystery solved.
My firegroups were mucked up, like Loriath mentioned.
The guns had been assigned to secondary fire and Scanner was unselected, which explains why i thought the bindings were being swapped.

Scrap that idea, i'm pretty sure before 2.1 when i dumped materials like carbon they got dropped on the ground and i could re-collect them.
this is no longer the case. discarded mats vanish into the ether(net).

[Cmdr Kharma]

Nope......

Dumping materials has never worked......They just vanish......

Back in planetary landings we tried that.....

Seeing as one of us wanted something that another one had......

So then we just worked together to get what a person wanted.......

That is fan out and shoot every rock until one of us found it and called it in........

[HazCat]

Oooh - I like that idea. Maybe we can get the whole of Mobius to swarm some unsuspecting planet and shoot every rock, everywhere! Probably won't find enough materials but the shoot-em-up festival would be a hoot.

(BTW: I was finally able to find the materials but I'm laying off the game for a couple days until they resolve a couple of the nastier bugs. Hopefully by this weekend... wife is returning from a lengthy trip and will be catching up on her sleep. What AM I going to do with myself?)
