>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 is best left alone until you have a Vulture or better.

I just completed Rear Admiral status at 17 Draconis. Sometimes you'll get 1, other times you'll get 4. It depends on how much the RNG decides to fuck you.

In other news /edg/, should I go back to smuggling at Robigo or is there some trading that's less annoying that makes the same amount

A human is smarter than an Ai, and if you engage from the right angle you should be able to keep out of its firing cone long enough to kill it.

I don't remember how long it took to get to Lt Commander, maybe two days. Getting from Lt Commander to Rear Admiral took two days. Too many hours and about 6 million credits.

On a related note, is there like any sort of presets you can make for certain systems being powered on/off? Like would this Anon have to open up his modules, scroll through and click off the right ones every time he wants to enter is extra stealthy mode or w/e? The closest to this I've found was just setting the priority of modules how you want, and having your power plant small enough that it doesn't cover 100% of your power costs (with hardpoints deployed). Seems like being able to hit a hotkey to manage your power distribution to presets you've made would be really useful for if you want to models quickly turned on/off a certain way without playing "Menus: Dangerous".

Although I'm a salefag so I still don't know much.

I always panic because I'm deathly afraid of white dwarfs, even though there's no reason for it. Actually, something about a giant ball of fiery fuck just popping up in front of me is always an experience. I love space holy fuck.

Why won't the clouds fuck off, I want to look at space through my telescope ;-;
>>
>>127923223
If the properties of a white dwarf both IRL and in ED terrify you, try a neutron star, it's arguably the deadliest astronomical object in the game
>>
>>127923223
White Dwarf stars are absolute bastards, nothing worse than being pulled out of super cruise into 90% heat when it barely fills 1/5th of your screeen
>>
>>127923185
You don't need it. They just rehash the same short info blurbs about what's coming during horizons season without any new details. Exacly like they did a week earlier.

Fucking lazy.
>>
>>127923465
no pls ;-;

Space is scary as shit. Pure neutrons pulled together to make a minuscule ball of fuck off, spinning super dense radiation spitting pulsars, giant blobs of gases, light bending rape-holes.

I want to go into space so bad.

>>127923590
I checked every star on a plotted route just to be ready for one. I thought the star that you jump to was the first one listed, and I nearly shat myself when a red giant I thought I jumped to was a fucking white dwarf.
>>
>>127923846
Imagine if neutron stars had realistic properties in-game, you'd basically see nothing but blinding light as you're slowly torn to pieces by gravitational tidal forces while radiation and heat boils off your face. Since it's not a black hole, your human body will probably impact with enough kinetic energy to sterilize the entire earth, after which it will be reduced to atomic soup.

Is it me or is the Feddy Gunship a lot more agile than its 2/10 rating would suggest?
>>
>>127921756

I have 300 hours in this game and I've never seen a single capital ship.

Also did the Anaconda get nerfed? I got back into the game and refitted it for combat and something about it seems off. It's shields pop way faster than I remember, even with a ton of shield boosters.
>>
>>127925459
The statistics mean jack shit. The Anaconda and Corvette are 2/10 and they are way more agile than Python with its 6/10. Frontier outright refuses to hand out actual, accurate ship stats (and weapon stats, for that matter) so we wouldn't make meta builds or min/max or whatever the fuck their weak excuse is when everyone just knows what weapons are worth using and what is objectively shit.
>>
>>127925625
If you want to see capital ships head to super major systems (e.g. earth) or go to high intensity conflict zones in full blown war systems. You can also get them from distress beacons but its pretty rare
>>
>>127925625
I wouldn't put it past them. I had a break before the Horizons patch and instantly bought the Corvette and the shields seem weaker than my Condas despite them supposedly being better?

Frontier wants to punish everyone who flies anything past the >ASP.
>>
>>127924342
This is pretty cool sounding, and I wish this was the threat that black holes and high density objects had.
>>
>>127926121
Imagine if they made a special death sequence for black holes (and neutron stars too) where you fly in, your ship starts burning and getting ripped to pieces. You get drawn and having the FOV widen because of the speed and then being atomised when flying into the event horizon. Would be a cool death.

Was kind of boring to watch though, it didn't have massive fucking guns, just a lot of tiny little lasers for a laser light show.

FDev needs to make huge class lasers/plasma beams or some shit. With a ship that big you need sky-tearing hyperweapons.
>>
>>127926342
They need to make these things that much more dangerous. Like, jumping into a system with an undiscovered black hole takes you to that black hole, where you have to immediately find the vector to escape and get to a safe distance. The hole needs extensive scanning to figure out where the event horizon is, etc. And the horizon varies extensively from hole to hole.
>>
>>127925743
That's true I guess, I'm just wondering whether it is actually more agile, or whether it's just cause I've been flying a brick recently (the type 9)
>>
>>127927184
They could start by making them look remotely like actual black holes.

How would they best show that? Would it be Interstellar looking? I'm not really sure what is the accepted best guess for them.

let me just add that to the list of lies then, I haven't seen capitals ingame myself so I just assumed they had them.
>>
>>127927316
>>127928009
Don't really care what they would 'realistically' look like, I'd like them to look nicer than what they look now. They are pretty bland looking.

>>127928140
Don't, they'll just nerf the bigger ships more.
>>
>>127928009
I imagine a pitch black object that warps light around it. We do have a vague idea of what they look like considering telescopes exist and we have enough scientific understanding to speculate on what it would look like
>>
>>127928009
Iirc Interstellar is pretty close to how black holes should look, I think they prettied them up just a little bit.
>>
>>127928220
CGI Trailers don't really count as lies. Every game does it and they're prefaced with not actual game footage. Everyone knows cgi trailers are total bullshit that just give you the idea of the game.

its fairly tame for a cgi trailer tbqh, just look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0dAP8B_sLM and then compare it to actual PS2 gameplay.

interstellar is a black hole with an accretion disk, for a disk-less hole just imagine that but with stars instead of a white hot ring, space engine has a pretty good representation

>>127928309
black holes don't exist silly
>>
>>127928220
I'll try hopping into a CZ later to get video. They basically use a bunch of regular lasers that end up looking like a spirograph drawing.

>>127928473
The lie is that the capital ships would have their own special weapons, but they don't. It'd be like EA putting a Galaxy class in the SW:BF trailer.
>>
>>127927128
>>127927375
>>127928220
They do have the same weapons that station have (the binary cannons) and the imperial capital ship has 3 big beam lasers on top
>>
>>127928309
>>127928303
Well, they shit out a jet of light when they're cannibalizing another star. That would be a nice thing to see first. Maybe make the jet fuck it up a bit more. An inactive black hole would only distort the light around it, and as you get closer, you'd see a bunch of photons in the photonsphere.

>>127928309
The best telescope in this solar system can't see them, though. The best you can get is seeing the direct jet of radiation from an active black hole.

>>127928640
I forgot that black holes with spin make accretion disks. Space is so cool.
>>
How fast do you think a black hole can spin? Considering neutron stars already attain these speeds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_J1748-2446ad

Danger In exploration would be great. I've seen videos of pilots crashing their ships on high gravity worlds It'd be nice if surface temps of planets, or getting too close to hotter types of stars had some risk. And that's not even getting into radiation and big gravity wells.

Because it offends them on a very fundamental level. They envy youth.

They understand that they are old, less energetic, attractive and productive, that they are closer to grave with every passing day.

Look at that Asp Explorer dad. He thinks the OP is retarded, yet he just can't shut the fuck up. Every fourth post is his, every post he makes is some affirmative pat on the back for himself and other gramps.
