HELLO, my name is Timothy Rawlings, or if you'd rather my
ingame name, CMDR MadRaptor and it is a pleasure to
bring to you this first edition of GALACTIC GEOLOGIST.
Galactic Geologist will bring to you up to date news on the
latest discoveries in regards to Organics and Geology
throughout the galaxy, as well as highlights of some of the
galaxies greatest geysers, most fantastic fumaroles, and
otherwordly organics.
I hope you join me in thanking all those CMDRS out their,
like yourselves, who put in long, sometimes fruitless hours
searching for these wonderful creations. Fly Safe CMDRS!

does matter
Probably the first tip to make your hunt more
fruitful is to keep things small. The bigger the
body the more places there are for these sites
SIZE
to hide and the more space may be between
each individual site.
RADIUS: 400 or below
Glide -
METHODS OF
SEARCH
After exiting SuperCruise and upon entering Glide
maintain a -8° - -12° angled descent towards the
targeted search zone. At a height of around 20km a tiny
pinpoint blue POI should appear. If one appears quickly
pull up to exit Glide and begin searching the area where
you noticed the POI appear, sometimes slightly ahead
of or behind you.
Normal -
Choose a suitable location from Super or Orbital
Cruise(Canyons, Splash Craters) and try to exit SC far
enough ahead of you search location that you can glide
from one edge of your search zone to the center, this
should allow you to speed up the start of you search,
once out of glide follow the path of your search zone,
looking for signs of volcanism: Liquid Jets or Plumes of
Smoke.
Not all planets
are equal. Make
TYPE
it easier for
yourself:
1. Rocky
2. HMC
3. Rocky/Ice
4. Ice
(In order of least
dfficulty)
...is money
TIME
It takes time to find these
guys but it shouldn't take a
lifetime. When you find a
suitable location spend 5 -
10 minutes tops exploring
that area, then move on to
the next possible location,
staying no more than
maybe an hour or 2 on any
given planet. There are
enough places out there
it's not use getting stuck
on just one.

*While findable anywhere,

canyons can be your best
friend when first starting
out. ***Organics like

* Types of POI: Tiny blue
pinpoint POI and
Shrinking Blue POI
**Fumaroles: Plumes of
smoke should be visible a
few KMs out
***Geysers: Same as
Fumaroles, a few KMs out
visible jet streams
should appear.

The Galaxy is full of amazingly beautiful places that inspire us and
fill us with wonder and amazement. They ignite our imaginations and
fuel our dreams of adventure, mystery, and, yes, even danger.
Among these wonders of the galaxy are little Oases of geological
activity known as Fumaroles and Geysers. In this series we will take
an in depth look at the many great discoveries made by CMDRS
such as yourselves and try to bring those wonders of the deep
closer to you. So join me in thanking all those who explore the
galaxy, seeking out its treasures….and remember to always fly safe.

SMOKEY BASIN

Mokey basin is one of
those places that just calls out to
the soul. Compelling you towards it
and then overtaking you with it's
beauty and serenity. I was coming
back from a trip to one of the local
nebulae and saw this little ball of a
planet, upon scanning it and seeing
it had vulcanism I had to check
things out.

I remember it was a couple of hours
searching and I was just about to
quit when I noticed these small
white puffs of cotton forming on the
horizon. My heart began to race
and as I flew closer and closer the
site unfolded beneath me, in stack
upon stack of rock and smoke.
I think I spent a good day or so at
that spot, just taking in thie views,
watching as the ringed beauty it
called it's parent transited across
the sky. I never wanted to leave that
place in fear I'd find nothing to
equal it's beauty.
