>Where do i buy x module/weapon for my ship?
High-tech systems have the best inventory, look there. The higher 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 alone until you have a Vulture or better.

For me right now it's the Vulture, I've been using it to bounty hunt and it flies like a dream, the only issue is power limits, but you can get around that with clever power groupings.

because elite is not an mmo, you don't have thousands of players, you have 30 players in an instance max

it's a singleplayer game where you can meet other people, and that is what the social features should and do support, intimate and direct contact with only those you run into, because as far as you're concerned, nobody else exists

also generally known as mingleplayer

I don't see what clans or larger social features would do for the game other than add forum drama, you can add your friends, see where they are, and go play with them, drop in, drop out, simple, fun

The idea is that social features like clans would add depth without any additional input on part of the developers. The game is already online only, every one is already playing in and affecting the same universe, why not leverage that to give players something to do other than grind credits?

Besides the games existing social features are shit, yes you can add friends and play with them but good luck finding those friends in game with the size of the world and instancing. Even if you do have friends, whats the purpose of playing with them? So you can split your bounties and bonds? Or for the tiny bonus to trade. The game really needs a lot more social features considering it's a multiplayer game.

>>125680059
The two are not mutually exclusive.
The problem is FD is trying to balance the game at the wrong extremes of both.
On one hand you're lacking community options that were common in Multiplayer games in the 90's. But on the other hand they're balancing progression in every aspect like this is some Korean MMO.

In other words, FD is killing the game due to incompetence faster than fully catering to either camp would.

There's nothing inherently wrong with clan drama, when Fdev says they want emergent gameplay, guess what, that's what emergent gameplay is, players getting into conflict or cooperating with other players and creating gameplay out of that. At least it would be more interesting than killing the ten thousands faceless NPC or trading between two stations till you lose all will to live, or exploring till you see witchspace in your sleep.

Even with D rank parts and the best FSD you'll still only get a max jump range of like 20 ly, which with the Vipers fuel tank will get you all of 2 jumps, if you actually want to go anywhere you're going to need to replace an internal with a spare fuel tank.

I know. I was reaching the limits of what the DBS's spaceframe could handle and I figured I could use the Asp Scout as a stepping stone to a Vulture, get a little more headroom out of it.

Power plant on a Vulture's what, 1.5 mil or something? A4 PP on the DBS was about that much, so I imagine a midrange one on a Vulture's prolly that much. Or am I gonna be in for a surprise?

Oh boy, those surface missions just keep getting better and better. If I complete around 3000 of these missions I will earn as much as I do when I spend 15 minutes on normal trading.

I'm so glad these missions exists, otherwise you would be forced into some grindy activity (RES / Trade) if you wanted any sort of progression.

It's possible that it has something to do with that Horizons requires 64-bit OS. But that's just my guess.

>>125694992
There is multiplayer, but it is not an mmo. I don't know how else to tell it to you.

The point is the game should be fun alone first, and with friends second. Adding mmo features would do nothing for either experience and just pull in the level grinder end raid crowd and dramawhores from other mmos, which is anti-fun.

the things that need to happen is progression is good, i.e. less grinding for the next ship, they're adding more ships and items all the time so that's a positive

mission variety needs to be better, also something that's improving, less "go there" "shoot this guy" "get money" type stuff and more kinds of missions that need to be scripted rather than just paying more for something you could do on your own

the universe also needs to be more locally contextual, which is also something that is improving, powerplay has battles happening that affect the future, that is good

missions that are more clearly related to what is going on and have a more visible effect on the world, stations will give missions to attack their enemies and get resources they need, but it's still fairly basic

and npcs need to be more persistent and more visible from supercruise, so if a battle is happening in real space it will show up on your scanner instead of just being a "signal source", they're improving this too

Some good points, but I'd also add that progression needs to be noticeable in ways other than just your ship. I really hope they allow players to have their own outposts and such, as well as being able to add on to them. Imagine owning your own little house and having your own mining operation.

Except it's not in any of your examples.

Yeah, like the most of the 1.5 ship wich serve only as another rung on a ladder towards an actually good ship. Theya re lazy downgradd clones of existing ships. What items are you talking about? The arsenal is pretty much unchanged since the release.

>mission variety needs to be better, also something that's improving
Improving in what way? All missions in Horizons ae shit and copies of existing spaceborn missions.

>the universe also needs to be more locally contextual, which is also something that is improving, powerplay has battles happening that affect the future, that is good
But Powerplay is an MMO gimmick which you're so against it seems. If you don't participate in it, you won't notice any differences.

Affect the future of what? The only thing they affect are the color blobs on the Powerplay map.

>and npcs need to be more persistent and more visible from supercruise, so if a battle is happening in real space it will show up on your scanner instead of just being a "signal source", they're improving this too
Again, they are improving that where? In your imagination?

MOTHERFUCKER I AM BEING SHOT AT and the FIRST THING you do is SCAN ME?

Game want you to fail SO BAD it is horrible

Don't trust me? go to robigo, take a shitload of smug missions and watch the shitfest as you get interdiction and scan from everywhere to fuck your shit up in not even populated space, that is just a joke
>>
>>125696282
to elaborate, in order of what I assume is easiest to do, I don't know how the engine is set up but it seems reasonable to me

alter "signal source" generation to some clearly identifiable events, they have this to some degree with the wrecks, distress calls, strong source and weak sources but it could be even better

so you could have a number of "mining activity" sources scattered around active rings instead of the resource sites we have now, interdiction battles along pirated trade routes, that sort of thing, get rid of the ambiguous sources entirely, they should show you what is going on in realspace

for missions, look at what they showed early on in the capital battle trailer, you're flying along and get a distress call from a battle that is happening, something scripted like that that you can't just do without a mission for it, something related to what is going on in the universe and the outcome has an effect on it, you could be hired to fight for a faction in a battle, defend against specific attacks, basically the kind of things braben was babbling about in the early kickstarter videos that then turned out to just be onetime community events

use the opportunity to tell smaller scale stories through the missions, the big galnet story is completely irrelevant to the game and offers little context for your actions unless you happen to be near where a community event is happening, this is a great example of mmo mechanics hurting the game rather than helping it

>>125696919
I have no idea what that would accomplish. It's one of those autistic features everyone wants but which really, is exactly the kind of lackluster meaningless thing you lambast them for adding. Unless you want a full economy management sim like X I don't see the point, and that wouldn't be fun anyway.
>>
>>125699557
I believe you anon
I took a mission to find trade data and I'd be interdicted within 5 seconds of entering supercruise. The signal sources never even had a chance to spawn and the faggots were interdicting me.

And also there needs to be more noticeable variety in the world.

The way it is now there are basically 4 locations in space, empty space, asteroids, station, and near a star. Only counting the star because it affects heat management because it's still basically empty space.

Stations are completely useless as a location because they are invincible and have super powered defenses. Making stations viable as a place where things can happen would be great. Horizons is leading the way by letting you fight in and around ground bases.

And they're a great place to add variety. Every station is either an outpost or a cylinder. Why not have dedicated shipyards? Pure population centers, agridomes? SImple trade stations possibly connected by a space elevator. Military bases and outposts, refineries. Hollowed out asteroid hideouts, and where the fuck is a rama type megastation?

And give them appropriate capabilities to their type, so you can't just do everything everywhere, but need to find shipyards or trade stations to buy ships, give them a variety of docking ports so every station interior isn't just a clone. This is a lot of artwork.

Ye.

A CGA color scheme mimics the CGA color palette from early computing which most commonly consisted of cyan, magenta (pink), white, and black in PC games. So having Pink as the secondary color in your HUD's color scheme would be one of the component colors of a CGA color scheme.

>>125711420
You can't grind anymore. I'm just flying around fed space picking up any combat missions I can.

I curse myself every minute for not having the strength to grind before 1.5

I'm up 27M right now, a lot better than the 12 I had when I started playing earlier, and that's after trading up my type 6 and spending about another 10 beefing it up.

You don't need to silent running to sneak into a full station. Place yourself 9km in front of the station's airlock, line yourself up. Now boost, drop a heatsink, drop chaff, at 4km drop an other heatsink and chaff, activate landing gear 3 or 4 seconds before you reach the airlock so you stop. Oh and hope there's nobody entering or leaving while you do this. If you're through the airlock you're all clear.

This does not protect you if you're being chased by a police ship though, they'll still be following you once you reach the station and will tend to appear right where you did. If you win the interdiction minigame, that ship disappears for 10 minutes giving you a window to land.

Has anyone found anything fun to do? SIRA was alright for a while, pic related, but there was only one other guy on my friends list that did it and he doesn't play anymore.

>elite
>fun
Right yeah I know, but still. I think it would be fun to go farm that FSD boost mats but I haven't found any and don't know where to look. Anyone know where to get them?

Or you get the $30 package and get the full game.

>I think it would be fun to go farm that FSD boost mats
Think again. Right now it's not clear what logic is used when spawning materials needed, so you wouldn't know where to search for them.
And it's a one time boost, not worth the hassle in the first place.

Anyone want to meet on a planet and just SRV around? Name the planet turret bros

>>125715541
I'm talking about the full game, not an alpha, also, you already can rent ships with ingame credits.
If you're going to shitpost, at least get your memes right, ok?
>>
question

when you dismiss your ship from planets surface does it just hang in orbit of the planet? does that mean other players can fuck with you vacant ship?
