High-tech systems have the best inventory, look there. The higher population the better.

Resource Extraction site. spawns pirates and space cops that shoot each other. HAZRES in best left alone until you have a Vulture or better.

Why is this shit gameplay required?
>>127362071
Its not
>>127362319
It kind of is because you have to do it to access two ships.
>>127362071
Because it's not a game, it's a digital version of a faux fireplace for old dads. It's was not created with an intent to play it, but with an intent to look at it and relax.
Why are we still playing this game again?
>>127364247

>>127364247

>>127364247
Because there are no modern competitors in the genre right now. Literally have no choice.
>Sitting in bumfuck system waiting for WSS's to show up to hope for a chance to find military plans
I fucking hate this. Can a WSS even show up in an unexplored system?
>>127364247
I seriously do not know how it's possible to play this for more than a couple of days or a week max.
I played for about that much in beta, then again several months later, and once more this week, after which the process will probably repeat.
I can understand how dads play it because they literally only play for 2 hours or so a week so they don't have time to realise it has no content, but playing any more than that is a complete mystery to me. And this is coming from someone who grinded out the same procedurally generated warframe missions for almost a year straight.
>>127364247
I don't know man... I just don't know.
>>127365002

Weak source signal. It's the signal in which you'll find specific items. And my question has been answered, yes you can find them out in the middle of nowhere space.

I just ran into another player for the first time
he was losing a fight as a bounty hunter and I tagged in to help him out
we talked a little bit and then moved on to the next bounty target
and then for the first time
my game fucking froze
is this the VISION?
If someone kills me does that remove the bounties on my head?
I wanna team up with someone to grind merit (not in ALD sectors) but the 600k bounty on me would be too tempting for dads
>>127366272

Get that someone to KWS you then kill you in your freshly bought sidewinder.
Tun or Draconis for fed charity grind? And how exactly do I go about this?
>>127366825
Actually, during that 2 hr stream, Brabo hinted that Beluga liner will not be able to fit through the funny hole and that it will use some other (TBD) methods of docking.
>>127366275
Are you opposed to paying it off? If not, get into a shitwinder and go where you're wanted.
Dock in a station you're wanted at. Don't get killed yet.
Take off and let the sec outside shoot you down. You'll be able to rebuy the shitwinder including paying the 600k to wipe your record clean.
If you don't want to pay, get someone with a KWS to kill you but make sure the last place you docked is somewhere you're clean. Your bounty will go dormant and will be hidden from players as long as you don't commit any crimes (not even minor fines!) in systems where you were wanted.
After 7 days the dormant bounty becomes a legacy fine and can't be reactivated as a bounty. Just don't dock anywhere you have a legacy fine and then die because it gets added to your rebuy cost when you respawn there.
So how does undermining work?
I just look for a system with a red target on it and go bounty hunting there?
I tried to read the powerplay manual but I'm left a bit confused

It's odd how small Elite freighters are. Even the clipper can only carry 700 odd tonnes of cargo. A big, modern cargo ship can carry 20,000 containers. The containers alone weight a 2 or 3 tonnes each.
They should introduce the big Lynx bulk carriers. Get some more use out of that capital ship hyperspace animation.
>>127379748
Even AI ones that just float around would be nice.

Unless Braben puts some serious shit in this game there is no reason to keep playing.
Actually fuck both games.
Does anyone here still play freelancer? There seems to be several player servers up.
>>127371376
DBS is one of the ships that has more than enough agility to keep it's guns on target pretty much all the time. It takes a bit of time but it's good practice for when you use weapons that have no gimballed variant (Rails/Plasma).
However if you mix weapon types (projectiles/hitscan) then some gimbals are good to keep everything on target.
>>127380114

>>127379835
Even little things like turning up at a station and finding one of those things parked there unloading would be a nice bit of variety in the scenery.
Having them in distress call beacons would be nice as well. Not sure exactly how their hyperspace works though, that would change how you fit them into the game.
>>127379748
Yeah, capital class freighters are sorely missing from the game. I heard FD want to expand on capital ships a some point, and they probably aren't adding them to the game yet because of that, but who when they'll get around to it. E:D generally need way more variety in stations and other structures in general, really. didn't one of the Dev Diaries mention something about shipyards and stuff?

Well yeah they need to give us more to do with them. All we can do at the moment is is shoot them (a common theme of ED interactions). Give them a docking pad and give us missions to deliver shit to them, escort them, etc.

Even the "small" ships in Elite are fucking enormous. What's odd is that they have so little internal space. A Type-9 should be able to carry several thousand tons of cargo.

One of the AI ships actually gets forced to take off the first time your docking request gets denied. It takes a little while before the pad is ready to accept a docking request from you though.

Frontier really fucked the scaling.
It's like they upscaled everything 2-3x before adding in the cockpit chairs leaving you with weird anomalies like two meters of headroom for no fucking reason.
>>127399740
You should see the T9's cockpit in VR. It's around 30 feet tall with two separate floors behind the pilot seat, not counting the three raised platforms with the stairways and operator seating, and about as much square footage as two-storey house.
>>127398336
Yeah the ships themselves are quite big. I guess I meant small in terms of cargo capacity. Comparing a fictional spaceship to something like a Maersk Triple-E container ship is probably not fair but the disparity in loads is immense.
>>127399740
The only thing I can think is that this is due to the focus on VR for the walking season so we can move around our ships with a minimum of vomit inducing canned animations.

Early game it carries plenty of cargo for trading, has great jump range for rare trading or smuggling and fights well enough compared to a Viper, which it is both faster and more maneuverable than.
It's only slightly less effective at combat than a Viper and dramatically better at absolutely everything else.
And as you'd like to pretend is a bad trait, it can outrun anything it can't deal with.
Basically there is no reason whatsoever to not get one as a progression ship at the very least.
>>127412834
Diamondback.
Then you realize that all those low end ships you speak of are totally fucking useless now that it is so easy to make 10 million in a RES site.
So no, you shouldn't be using a Cobra for any significant amount of time. And you will have a Clipper up your ass regardless.
>>127412834
>Early game
Exactly the problem, it has no worth past that. Once you pass 1mil this ship is obsolete. Can't say the same about Asp or Clipper.
>>127413576

Viper's maneuverability is shit and it can't stack armor/scbs and chaff/hs like a Cobra can. It's objectively worse at combat in spite of that being its focus.
It's not debatable. They even held a cobra dads vs viper griffers event and the griffers got completely fucking ruined despite being PVP tryhards.
DBS is great though.

Nice anecdotal evidence tho.

Pitch and roll on the Viper are worse, though yaw is better for what it's worth. Also vertical thrusters seem to be stronger on the Viper since it slides a lot less when pitching.

Have you? The Viper MkIII's pitch/roll/yaw are almost as bad as a Python. The MkIV is actually worse than a Python. Lateral thruster authority is bad on both Viper models too.
>>127419491
Collect rocks, shoot robots, steal data. There's one kind of rover with one kind of weapon and no real upgrades, and the bases you can attack are all pretty much the same but different sizes.

Blue range pitch rates look worse for the Viper IIRC. It's significantly faster in the blue zone but the Cobra's pitch speed improves by a larger margin in the blue.
Engine pips also have an effect:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZuUfap4u-Q
>>127416086
Viper with 4A shield has 126 hull + 179 shields = 305 total damage capacity
Cobra with 4A shield has 216 hull + 124 shields = 340 total damage capacity
Cobra is less impacted by additional mass due to base mass already being high and having a bigger engine
Cobra gains more armor from bulkhead upgrades
Cobra can carry better shield cell banks and hull reinforcements
Cobra turns better and is faster than a Viper even while weighed down
Armored Viper with one class 3 shield cell and stacked hull reinforcements has 545 armor and 754 total shield capacity
Armored Cobra with one class 4 shield cell and stacked hull reinforcements has 1320 armor and 824 total shield capacity while still being faster and more maneuverable than a completely unarmored Viper
And the icing on the cake? The Cobra has power left over for shield boosters if it wants. The Viper doesn't.

I've run two PAs before. I had to shut down life support when HPs are deployed in order to make it work though, so max 25 minutes in combat.
Not really practical for PVE but in PVP it'll surprise most opponents. I've taken out player ferdies with relative ease using that setup. By the time the realize they need to run the module splash from the PAs has killed their drives and half their other systems.
Hi edg.
I just got ED (not Horizons) on PC and I am really enjoying the look of what I can do. I managed to get in to the game but then did my usual panic and wanted to quickly dock again because I could see people waiting for me to kill me.
So imagine I am a chimp trying to play.

That's straight up bullshit. You'll need to keep 4 pips in engine all the time, otherwise viper is faster and has better accel/decell and lat thrusters.

Then you run into a surprisebra with 2med rails and a pair of torpedo pylons thinking "who uses missiles?"
>While standing still.
Also in motion. Cobra has better turn rate at 0 pips and 4 pips, in or out of the blue zone
>Wich also increase it's mass and drift.
Negligible impact to its flight model given its base mass and C4 engine. Even completely loaded down with HRPs and military armor its mass is far below the optimal mark for the engines
>It will get alpha strike'd anyway, so you won't have anything to recharge
>2sml/2med

lol right... If you're that worried about alpha from 2/2HPs then use another HRP or biweave, but that just makes the Cobra pull even further ahead

Fuck off, wanker.
>>127425209
The /v/ group I had completely forgotten I was part of, and /pdg/ was to try and find people to do stealth stuff with but never actually played it with anyone...I don't get what my groups has to do with it though...
>>127425593
No one playing together here
Just watch some tutorials and see what do you want to do(trade, fight, smuggle) and ask stupid shit on general

also, I noticed that big, fast ships like FDL or clipper can get really dangerous if I don't watch my turns. what is best for deactiviting their reactor? pulse or multi or doesn't matter?
and what I got from lurking, pulse > beam when against hull, yes?

For the groups I am a part of or just because I'm new or what? I'm confused...
>>127428291
I don't know, PS3 & PS4 Gamer.
>>127428489
Oh god, is that still there? Well until recently that is all I had to play on, only just built a PC worthy of gaming, I should get around to changing that profile as it is like 2 years old now.
>>127428575
Sell that garbage.
I'm fairly new as well, do you want to coop this afternoon?
>>127425593
>I don't get what my groups has to do with it though...
That anon has noticed that you are affiliated with groups he disapproves of, and has accordingly become hostile towards you.
You know, exactly like it doesn't work with the Empire and Federation.
>>127428291
You know the guy with the furry avatar that acted like he's going to help you?
He's going to do something slightly different from helping you.
FINALLY count.
fucking empire rank up is slow as SHIT.
Any tips?
how much time does it take to get 1500 merits?
>>127425593
You're better off playing with Reddit. Here in /edg/y, people just complain about dads and don't actually play the game. They don't even shitpost in a comfy manner, they're just shitflinging at each other.
See: Viper vs Cobra discussion
Who the fuck cares? People that matter fly FDL or Python anyway. People that can fly can outturn Vultures with a Conda. Who the fuck cares about ships that cost 300k? You use them for a few hours until you get a good ship, like Vulture.
>>127429273
It's so funny, you started claiming only retards shit on other ships and ended up doing it.
>>127427951
Good catch, anon.
>>127429410
No, I said retards shit on "each other", not ships. Quite literally nobody gives a shit about Cobra vs Viper. Because people who play only a few hours can have enough money to buy a Python or FDL, which is worth the discussion.
>>127429553
I cant make 50+ mils in a few hours
>>127429273

>>127428127
Yes
If you want to damage module faster, use PA
>>127414271
not that guy, but:
1.Playing as pure trader in type 6 will crush your soul and mind.
2.Viper and DBS are only for combat, so you are basicly locked to pew-pew all the time.
Cobra is a low tier jack of all trades. the Dadmobile maymay wont change it.
Of course, You you lurk the forums and generals and You are "in the know" of how to make money fast, it gets obsolete pretty quick. But for me, a dude that dived into that game with no hand-holding and with a wishfull thinking that he can actually be fuckin Han Solo and tried to make a living soley on pre-sothis smuggling and piracy (yes I was stubborn) it was a fun ship.

You put effort in that post, and I appreciate it. Thanks.
>>127429808
How is Sothis better than Robigo?
Please tell, I've never been there
>>127429807
Viper was the one that cost sub 1m right?
I remember using that as my next step up from Eagle, just felt kinda like a fat eagle.
Honestly I don't think I could live without the Vulture nowadays. Large hardpoints have fucking spoiled me.
>tfw coming back to Elite despite hating it because X3 controls like shit
I just want to go around space and do different things

>>127430116
Its already nerfed
>>127430184
>different things
>ED
>>127430116
I don't know if it's actually better or not, but it was the meme before Robigo. They're all the same. I personally use 17 Draconis because I can also grind rank.
>>127430171
I'm thinking of selling my FDL for a Python just because muh larges. It's a great ship and perfect tank but mediums are painful.I once took 3 Pythons at once though.
>>127430184
How shit would you say it is in comparison? I'm forgetting how it is to fly in X3 already.
>>127430297
>>127430361
Well I just left Robigo with 25mil credit worth missions, took me few hours to stack them up. How is it on Sothis and Draconia

is it just me or log in is DEAD?
>>127430489
You aim your mouse somewhere, accelerate and you fly at it. Then you just have thrusters to pretty much instantly move up/down/left/right.
You can use sticks/whatever but it works off the same principle
Elite may be closer to a fighter jet game than an actual space sim but that flight model is much more fun
>>127431003
Goddamnit I just docked with 4 million missions with 1 1/2 hour left. Now I can't log in
>>127431165
same shit, I stacked a lot of shit and now I got THIS SHIT GOING ON I CAN'T EVEN PEW PEW MY WAY TO TRAINING MISSIONS FUCKING COCKSUCKER BRABEN GET THIS SHIT STRAIGHT RIGHT NOW I WANT MY AUTISM DOSE ASAP
>>127431003
Server has problems, I just lost the connection.
>>127430667
Draconis has shittons of fed missions. Best way to grind rank, and also offers missions too.
>>127431258
fed rank up is EASY AS SHIT, everybody knows 17 draconis
Get the fuck back when you'll know the same for EMPIRE you scum
>>127428640
I would if I knew how to get pretty much anywhere, I can't even figure out how to dock again.
Plus I won't be available until near 6pm GMT.
Literally the only feature from horizons I want is the commander creator
And that's more of a bonus little gimmick than a selling point
Given that it adds sod all beyond the worst feature of Mass Effect 1 who the fuck is the expansion aimed at?
>>127431343
R-rude :(
>>127431514
Training missions are useful.
>>127431514
Do the tutorials, I'm near the starting systems as well, I added you on steam, but I won't be on my rig until that time, more or less.
>>127407495
how to increase rep quickly?
I fucked up a few times
>get caught with stolen shit
>forget to request docking before entering space station
>crash full transport ships of goods inside stations
shit like that and my rep is minus 30 or something
i've been doing fed missions and stuff for days now and my rep has only gone down by a few points
is there something specific I should be doing to increase my rep?
>>127431831
still, nobody gives a fuck about fed. Empire is the thing now
>>127431993
>empire
>wanting to serve feminists-the faction
>>127431586
What is Horizons supposed to have again?
Planetary Landings, CMDR creator, crafting, and multicrew?
>>127431993
>>127432108
Plus I bet you Admiral ship is going to be way better than King'sin 2018
>>127431993
I can grind from Ensign to Lt Commander while waiting for smuggling missions, fuck Empireuntil I can do the same with them
>>127432108
>not being independent
>>127432208
Fighters and supposedly better missions as well
>>127432304
what fighters? just more ships or something special?
>>127432208
Those fucking kikes put it as early access so they could make refunds harder and change what the "expansion" will feature.
>>127432375
ship launched ones
You shit out at little fighter and ai/your mate controls it
>>127432375
Those Condor and Imperial TIE fighter things. I look forward to them doing absolutely fuck all.
>>127432375
Fighter bays in existing ships. The keelback has a non-functional one right now.
>>127432108
By the time new ships come out, you'll be a fucking billionaire, rank grind to king will be even MORE HORRIBLE and you'll damn yourself for not being able to buy new ships
>>127432514
that sounds bad
>>127432262
you'll never be able to do the same you shit, rank up while you can
They increase the gap to ELITE each update, what do you think they do with rep ranks too?
>>127432632
They should just let us hire NPC wingmen. Even a cheap shit AI in an Eagle would be better.
>>127432853
I just hope it wont be like drones in EVE online, gallente is maximum faggotry
>>127432752
If they nerf Draconis, tun will still be there. It will be 2 missions instead of 5 though.
>>127432853
We can, just not crew.
>>127433210
>We can, just not crew.
Source? I thought that was ruled out.
>>127433250
Was it? I haven't heard about it.
>>127433250
They probably mean like, outside the game and paying with palladium or something.
>>127433210
>If they nerf Draconis
WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT FEDERATION EVERYBODY IS ALREADY ADMIRAL
lel, when game first came out it was all about the empire
now these days it's all about the federation ;^)
>>127433569
that's because everyone's already farmed empire
how long does it take to grind 17 draconis to admiral?
and how much is it expected to cost in donations?
how much does it cost to get an anaconda for trading?
is it even worth it?

>doing the Robigo grind
It doesn't state that getting scanned will fail the mission, but if I do get scanned what WILL happen?
Will I get a bounty for transporting slaves?
Can I just go to the station not worrying about getting scanned, hand in the mission and then pay off the bounty?
>>127436365
Jesus H Christ, dad, keep that goofy XIX century shit to yourself.
>>127436438
>300 ly
>80 cargo
>>>effect on reputation: medium
>>127436438
If it's illegal where you're taking them, if you're scanned, yes you'll get a bounty, and probably a fairly hefty one too, since it's 87 of the fuckers. But yes, you can get scanned then turn in the mission and pay off the bounty, so long as the mission doesn't specify that getting scanned will fail the mission.
Alternatively you could skirt around the edge of wherever you're going till you line up with the entrance then scoot along in silent running mode. Grab yourself a heatsink, too. Careful not to fuck up and crash cause you could asplode without shields.
>>127436438
mission fails.
dude, stop asking questions, just do the missions,
talking too much of it will get it nerfed again so better keep it quiet.
>>127436814
why do they nerf so much shit?
I've never even encountered another player in E:D, who cares if they're making more money than me?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I8mWG6HlmU
time for music thread.
Post the shit you are listening while playing
>>127436921
>why do they nerf so much shit?
because you talk too much about it dickhead.
frontier don't want players to get big money because they would leave, the game is empty without the grind

After reading wiki it got the impression that Imperial Cutter and Anaconda are better than Federal Corvette. Is that correct?
