Hello, Pilots!
I am on vacation now until January 3rd, but I am still looking forward to the new EXODE update!
📰News:
- There have been a couple of market-view related bugfixes. Mainly an Alpha Booster that was failing to show up on market due to a "reservation issue" that caused the API to think that the lowest list price was $2.63 even though there were none available to purchase at that price. Correct prices now show.
- The next update should be released sometime before Christmas. @elindos got a bit sick and thought it would be better to put the extra time into making sure everything works correctly rather than rushing out the next update. I agree with that.
🎁Giveaway:
This week, you have a chance of winning:
1x BUDDY Pinger
I have seen quite a few people speculate that this card will be extremely useful. I personally feel that the Friendly Eyes XY-6 will be better, but we have yet to see the benefits of "sending a message" once per day. The thing I'm worried about is that the BUDDY Pinger runs out of power or something after 3 days, which makes it seem like it could be a waste of a cargo slot. However, if it is able to scan a bunch of places on your planet I could see this as a single-use exploration item to discover everything on your planet in the first few days. If it isn't able to scan most or all of your planet in it's lifespan, I'll probably stick with the Friendly Eyes XY-6.
This card is worth $0.48 at time of writing.

EXODE is a real-time strategy space colonization game here on the Hive Blockchain. If you still have not bought your starter pack and signed up, use this Referral Code(c956af8) and you'll also receive 2 free Alpha Booster Packs with 5 NFT cards each and a free Epic Alpha Character. For more information and links, check out the developer's page, @elindos.
I'm gonna go with Little Buddy for this one. Good stealth and resist plus speed and some combat. Throw in autonomous and I believe 0 energy cost and you've got a decent scout to roam your planet.

Why do you think Little Buddy over Friendly Eyes XY-6?

Honestly, it was a very close call. I actually started typing out Friendly Eyes to be honest. What it came down to for me however is higher stealth and an ability to defend when it came to Little Buddy. As much as flight can be a good defense, anything less stealthy can either hide from it (and you have a poorer picture of what you're looking at especially with the weaker radar) or you may encounter a flying threat that Friendly Eyes cannot hide from or defend itself against. I picture those creatures from Pitch Black swarming and attacking anything that moves. While Little Buddy is better equipped to avoid and hide from similar hazards. It'll really all come down to what hazards you have on your planet tbh.
I hadn't even thought of flying threats destroying Friendly Eyes, hope I don't have any!

Is it possible to trade your cards on one of Hive NFT markets on Hive-Engine or dlux sidechains?
In EXODE itself there is a tab at the top called the "Starbase Market" where you can buy and sell your cards. They are all priced in USD.

Yes. But making it to the NFT markets should add more liquidity and marketing to the game itself.
Ah. A WAX bridge is planned for the future. Unsure when it will happen, though.

I feat that is a kind of question too much advanced for me to give any useful input. So I think it is the Buddy Pinger. ;)
Fair enough.

I honestly don't understand enough about the game to know which card will be best for exploration. It would probably be safest just to have both of them!
Also, someone stated that the Buddy has combat abilities. How do you tell that?
