High-tech systems have the best inventory, look there. The more population the better.
>What's this RES you guys talk about?
Resource Extraction site. spawns pirates and space cops that shoot each other. HAZRES in best left until you have a Vulture or better.

Reminder that the best way to grind rep is not an exploit but will still get nerfed because it is against the VISION

This game's website as well as numerous reviews online say that the game has a dynamic economy, but every now and then I see someone say that it doesn't really have a dynamic economy.
Does this game have a dynamic economy?
>>120538556
its dynamic,
dynamic as a concrete block
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQRxIhRuZ9dNib4ULX6xKLA
This shit is good. More effort went into this then this underdeveloped game deserves.
so i am trying to figure out how good my trade is compared to others since every time i mention it, people seem to loose their shit. anyway;
4.4~4.6K per ton in 5 jumps at 16 LY jump range
3 going to, 2 coming back
240 cargo clipper nets me 1,062000
>>120538556
It's fake dynamic. It's dynamic in that you can run out of items to buy but it's not dynamic in that they magically restock themselves after enough time. Prices for goods vary but not in a real supply/demand sort of way, more like completely random. It's a weird, nonsensical economy.

>>120540386
This is actually good.
>metal-rich rings bring tears to my eyes
how about no
Got my clipper last week. Don't want to grind but I find mining pretty cozy. Any exploits going on?
so what;s the deal with Gurragchaa? some sort of halloween shit?
>>120544203
If your luck is godlike mine up some plat, painite, and osmium then refresh the board for money money money.
>>120544374
Oh so I'm better off just looking for missions instead of selling the metals?
>>120544463
if you are lucky yes
stuff make 5x more profit
it could be soul crushing to restart 50 times though
>>120544605
Yeah I mean the clipper is the ship that I wanted so now I'm just gonna kinda do whatever I feel like and enjoy flying through space.
>>120521698
Fuck, I only made top 70% of the CG.
Only did like 2 runs the first day though.
How do I retrieve the cash? Do I have to go back to the system that gave it?
Just started playing a few days ago. Bought a type 6 and maxed cargo space. Is it large enough to make good profits or should I be doing something else at this point?
>>120547328
Go explore mate. Clipper isn't optimal for that, but it's comfy as fuck to be out there in that thing.
>>120551665
Here you go.
We should update this for the new ships (DBE and onwards) but I have a feeling they're either statistically outperformed or just sidegrades.
>>120552108
Much obliged. I'll get grinding.
>>120552108
Yes, it should be, considering that the DBE and the Courier are both viable steps between the Viper and the Vulture.
>>120552108
There is an updated version (minus the iEagle and new new stuff).
Will the new station literally be built inside the Pleiades Nebula? If so, that's pretty rad. Worth a visit.
>>120548904
Yes. Go to the starport, and claim it via the BB.

I got a 6A reactor from somewhere, bastard cost 15mil.
Either way, you're not going to notice much of a difference, what determines your capacitor power is your power distributor.
can any other ships explore as well as the asp without a fucking terrible scooping time? i like the stats on the asp but i hate its cockpit
Trying to get a good combat Vulture build but keep running out of power.

>>120572516
Looks like you'll need to downgrade thrusters or cell bank to make that work . Might as well get an A2 scoop as well. Just turn it off when you aren't scooping
>>120572516

FTFY
went from vulture to clipper for RES farming and it feels like a downgrade. i know the clipper is multirole, but what's it generally best at? could i make more dosh from switching to trading or something?

>>120568531
gimballed beams (C3) and autocannons (2F) thus far.
Beams on the large hardpoints, autos on the mediums. I know that my current weapons are lacking, but I'm saving up for better ones.
My logic is that I use the big beams to take out shields, the cannons to keep plinking and something bigger beneath for hull damage.
Suggestions are welcome though.

>>120576842
is the scooping time on the DBE as bad as ive heard? it looks so good but i want to explore fast
>>120577930
is bretty slow m8
>>120577645
was about to head out too
gonna screen your post for when i do get there though, might be a bit cause i work the next few days though
So what happens when you buy a Cobra?
>>120578721
You beat the game, according to forumdads
>>120578754
Well then I guess I won the game since I just bought one. Goodbye adder, I'll probably not miss you.

But I want to_____mine____
>>120579020Space rocks are boring
>>120579190But I suck at fighting, and space trucking is semi boring. Space rocks is new to me.
what system can i go to that has a lot of other people in it? i cant find anyone
>>120579290
How the hell can you suck at fighting? NPC's are pretty piss easy to kill, even with the recent AI update
>>120578967
>>120580167
Because,I've never actually tried to fight back, I usually just run away.So I've never actually shot at anyone.
>>120547328
Go explore man. I'm about 5k Ly from Sagittarius A* in my Clipper and loving every second. Takes longer to get there but comfy as fuck and more jumps = more chance to find shit.
>>120576842hutton
>>120577930
It's not terrible but it is a minute longer than what the asp can manage.
1:33 vs 36 seconds to fill. So you will sit at a star for a bit longer than in the asp where you can just fill it when you buzz by it.
poorfags btfo
are there powers specifically for exploring? are the rewards from exploring with powerplay worth it?
>>120581942
you know thats pointless
I mean pure trade profit always beats your initial grind plus merit maintain tasks
and you can grind whenever you want,
there is no "oh shit if I dont grind this week I am gonna fuck my merits" pressure is going on
you can bounty hunt, explore mine and not worry about your weekly working quota
>>120585126
but i earn 100% more from bounties/combat bonds at rank 5
omw to Bow-Tie
>>120521698
So the station CG gave me like 10 mil.
How often do we get easy CGs like this? One more and I will buy a Python.
holy fuck lads
>>120585506
good luck anon
>>120585740
>>120585740
Thanks mate, this will be my first real voyage, I hope all goes well, it's an unusual feeling knowing that your name is on stuff in this universe
>>120586324
Swing by the spirograph nebula if you can, it's rainy daywatching TV in bed comfy.
>>120586608
Bit of a detour, probably will after I get to bow tie
Yall think they'll ever add in system hyperjumps? for those 5kls+?
>>120587186
All they really need to do is change FSD scaling so it shifts up and down faster.
>>120587572
something like that, they really need to do something about it soon though, cause idk if im gonna wanna keep exploring with this slow ass travel speed
Is there a way to check your current profits from exploring? And what are level 3 detailed scans?
>>120536964
Yes, and you have a higher chance of getting interdicted when smuggling.
>>120552108
>>120553329
Updated.
>>120585424
and still cant get near pure bulk trade profit wise
>>120588802
Its in one of the menus on the right hand monitor.
so what's the biggest risk of breaking my canopy while exploring? i've heard of people losing their ship to a smashed window but i have no idea what causes it
>>120589082
Still no iEagle or new Feddy ships, but still useful.
>>120591062
Just don't fly into shit and force an emergency drop and you'll be fine.
what systems are most populated by players? I would like a bit of interaction, not that I have my hopes up.
>>120521698
So I am flying my clipper.
It has two large pulse lasers, and two medium multi-cannons.
The cannons are nice, but ammo is a pain.
Would going all pulse lasers do more damage? What about large pulse and medium beam?
>Why Am I Still Playing This: The Game
I know it's boring but on my day off I'll play for like 6 hours.
Why? WHY!?
>>120569275
Ya prolly
>>120594328
Tis the VISION that drives thee on
>>120592482

>>120594931
VISION sounds like some kind of drug you'd take in a sci-fi show, so I guess that's pretty apt.

It is passable with 7A shields and some boosters.
But it costs a fortune to get those.

I can easily take anything but Feddy Assualt/Gun ships in my Clipper. I normally run out of ammo before I do shield charges/chaff.
And those only give me trouble because they can manage to keep fire on me no matter what.
Python? No Problem. Anaconda? Easiest kill in the game. Assault/Gunship? GTFO.

>>120585696
i remember back the first or so community event was a lugh and you had to get combat bonds.
all i did was sit on top of the capital ship with pulse laser turrets and collect them while AFK.
then at the end of the week i cashed in like 25 or something mil from the even and like another 10 mil from just bonds. this is a lot of fucking money for someone who didn't have a clipper at the time.

>>120617663
Hey that's fine Money to be honest. Where do you even find smuggling missions? All the stations I've seen have fuck all for smuggling
>>120618364
An anon in the last thread reported that Sothis can still spawn long-range (~450ly) smuggling missions but the fact that they're rare and faction rep dependent is a turn-off to most. Fringe stations offer them, Sothis being the most well-known.
>>120618749
So just say fuckoff to smuggling missions and do slave trading? I might do the community goal or something
>>120619069
If your goal is money then yes, smuggling can fuck right off. Can't speak for the CG but I lost faith in them after the Munshin event.

do shield boosters make your shields come back from being un powered slower? or just make them slower entirely?

not that guy but imagine how less shit this game would be if it was either only solo or only online, so they didn't have balance it around being a shitty version of both

No it's not. We have to balance between forumdads and everyone else. That's why every way to make money or progress becomes an exploit and gets patched out.

>>120644974
>if you still want it just find it on some torrent or sharing site like ffshrine
That's why not retarded publishers don't bother to take their soundtracks down. In some cases they upload them themselves. It's free publicity, free marketing from people linking to some youtube video. Frontier are not only failing at game design, they're failing at marketing on a fundamental level.

>>120645638
I feel like owning the game should give us access to the soundtrack regardless since it's included within it.
Also do yo guys notice large ncp ships turning and shit really fast, the clipper is one I've noticed doing it pretty regularely almost like they're boosting laterally or something. How are they doing these manuvers?
>>120650514
There will always be avenues for people to download shit they don't want to pay for. The war on piracy is practically the same as the war on drugs, an abject failure that only hurts those caught in the crossfire. Smart businesses co-opt piracy by using what amounts to free distribution platforms like youtube to generate publicity and recoup losses by securing other sources of income. The failures of business crack down on piracy, and develop animosity from alienating the consumer. See EA, Ubisoft.
>>120651910
clipper is the biggest offender

does the game force you to pay off fines?

I've also noticed that when pirates or cops scan you they try to stay exactly 1km away from you. I can fly straight at them at 300 m/s and they manage to stay 1km away from me while flying backwards
>>120652493
yep, this also happens all the time
>>120652448
It doesn't force you to. You can to get rid of them sooner, but after about a week they go away anyway.

ubisoft gets flak for accidentally catching legit users
nobody in their right mind defends piracy
if we make murder legal the amount of murder crimes will drop by 100% too
>>120652493
They did this because you used to be able to flip around and fly past them and by the time they turned around, you were out of scanning range.
>>120652493
Almost like they're using AI from GTA5 so you can never catch cars or cop cars are always fast enough to catch you no matter what you drive. Nothing infuriates me more.
>>120653112
No one's defending piracy. There's just no way to effectively defeat it without instituting draconian restrictions on absolutely everything that would end up doing far more harm than good.
The strength of capitalism is not that it can fight and defeat opponents, but that the things that prove too troublesome to defeat can be co-opted to benefit it.
So they showed us that neat "how we make planets" video. They made effort to point out that surface generation is heavily rooted in hard science. Braben himself told us many times how he wants to see varied surface feaures and geological activity like cryovolcanoes etc etc. And what we see in the streams are the samey looking rocks spawning in front of you and that's it.
Are those features locked behind atmospheric worlds dlc?

Everyone gets the new planets, but only horizons owners will be able to fly down to them and land on them.
>>120653847
those features are locked behind a less primitive theory of planet formation

Ahem, t-that's not what I was asking about.

"if we make murder legal the amount of murder crimes will drop by 100% too" ?? Is this meant to be a retarded statement?

Check your fire m8. Make sure you go weapons tight when a friendly might compromise your firing solution on the tango to avoid blue on blue.

Does the Cobra need a large labding pad like the clipper?
I wanna do some kaushpoos bounty hunting (there is a station near gas giant rings, but it is an outpist. small ships only) but I am so tired of the Vulture.
>>120656820
Fuck, I mean Python, not Cobra.
All these snake names are annoying.
>>120655550
>do this
>in 2-3 frames a ship flies across your view

>still get shitlisted
>>120657029
Python fits on a medium.
It's one of the fuckiest decisions Ftroop made because it actually holds more cargo than the type 7 which requires a large because of its height.
>>120657589
Fuck the clipper than. Going to go buy a Python.
Will only be C fitted, but still probably performs better bounty hunting.
Just gotta find a discounted version.
>>120653379
Is this really the reason? This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
>you used to be able to avoid scans by doing what makes sense and getting out of scan range

Maybe this wouldn't be a problem if vipers were still the fastest ship in the game and could easily catch back up to anything but another viper like an actual police interceptor.
But no, forumdads cried their cobras weren't the fastest ship.
>>120658381
Speaking of, does anyone have a cheap Python fitting?
>>120659375
I would share mine but I'm way too fucking lazy, with about 30mil you can put top shields 7d power 7c energy putterinplacer and the rest on cell bank 6 decent weapons chaff, shield booster
was in an asteroid field yesterday and the sun rose on me. was pretty neat
>>120660172
Even with 6C shields it has more shield power than the Clipper.
I went a little cheaper that I should have on the build, but I should be able to survive while bounty hunting as long as I don:t engage anything too dangerous.

I have just enough cash leftover for one insurance charge.
Balls deep!
Guy with the Type 6 here again,
I've been destroyed 3 fucking times and lost everything. How do these NPC's know I've got this shit? Less than 5m after picking up cargo these omniscient space niggers are waiting to fuck me up.
How do I avoid this unbalanced bullshit?
Bounty hunt until I can afford a ship that can last more than 15 seconds in a fight?
I had a lot more success bounty hunting in a vulture than I am in a clipper. Am I retarded

But no, really. You can fight interdiction. If you can see yourself losing the interdiction tug-of-war, zero your throttle. It'll submit you to the interdiction, which lets you jump out far, far faster. If you do get interdicted and submit, select a different star system to jump to. High-wake jumps are not affected by mass locking (as much). Thirdly, quickly jettisoning a small amount of cargo will actually distract most NPCs as they get to scooping said cargo. Less than optimal, but still.
>>120664018
Vulture can turn on a dime and its hardpoint placement is perfect
pretty much the best bounty hunting ship
>>120664314
I know all this. They kill me too fucking fast, even if I submit. Even with all pips in systems and nothing but shield boosters.
>>120664869
play solo
shield-less barge
avoid all interdictions
if I'm watching netflix and not paying attention and do get interdicted:
zero throttle fast, and submit so it doesn't bug out and give you a 45s timer
pop into instance, orient away from contact
4 pips engines, boost and twirl
pop chaff back to back on 2 launchers (you have chaff right?)
jump to next system route
what part is troubling you?
As a Hauler pilot is there a better way to make money than doing multi hop routes on eddb?

Is the free ship that previous owners get when Horizons drops going to be worth purchasing it early? I most likely won't have too much time to play it prior to Horizons release anyway, but if Steam does another sale like the $27 one in September it would be nice to know if it would be worth the extra $ for a free ship.
Can you simply buy Palladium and bring it to the CG or do you actually have to mine it?
I'm going to try and play X3. Someone stop me.

Absence of government technically.
Either way it makes sense

What the fuck? Are people this bad? Or is it just way too early in the CG?
Can I drop lower if I stop now?
And how do we find the "global rewards" amount?
