>whats new?
Frontier added 2.1 update
>good
new huge, large weapons are added
a lot of utility updates like bookmarks
docking radio chatter
>bad
AI is broken, overpowered, BUT frontier removed the enginner stuff on AI
half of the missions are bugged
Bulk trade taxes
>ugly

Should I make "another" steam group?
Post waifus
>>144098132
im still the owner of the other steam group. do we really need to?
>>144098203
dunno there was a talk about it in the last thread
might want to hail the anons to tell them /edg/ is back again, put an announcement maybe
>>144098274
I can't imagine /edg/ being around for much longer tbqh. Eventually the outrage of 2.1 will lose steam and /edg/ will just fade back into obscurity. This will probably be the last thread.
>>144098052

>>144098617
That's alright, no harm no foul right? :)
That last forum thread was fun of grieffers and naysayers anyways so hopefully we'll get some better vibes on this one!
What's everyone looking for in the next big update? Maybe we get to have voiced dialogue of the faction leaders so I can hear my princess's voice ;)

>>144098879
these parodies are getting out of hand
Fighting small upgraded ships is such a fucking chore now.
>>144099045
Pecisk is a dad, but he's a totally different breed of dad. If I remember correctly, he has a lot of money invested in Frontier, so his shilling is far more aggressive and usually has less to do with roleplaying and general gameplay and more of "WHY ARENT YOU PLAYING THE GAME, GET YOUR FRIENDS TO PLAY TOO. ALL YOUR COMPLAINTS ARE IRRELEVANT THE GAME IS PERFECT PLS BUY."
It hurts how much potential this game had and still has. The entire game is just waiting to be filled with stuff because it's fucking empty, feels like 'm still playing beta or something.
All this time and devs delivered shit worth of content
>>144099321
he is one of the worst offenders for sure
should /edg/ make a database of known dads?

>>144097131
Its the pain gate to get to the content, for me at least. You'd think level 1 mods would be a bit more accessible than level 5 but a good chunk of level 1 require like 3 or 4 different materials, sometimes multiples of those materials. And god help you if it requires something that takes cargo space. If you happen to get that item first and still need materials your pretty well locked in to either grinding out finding those materials (fucking specialized legacy firmware I'm looking at you you slippery cunt), potentially losing the cargo to some rando npc with plasmamulticannons, or just saying fuck it and dumping the cargo to do something more fun than dropping into endless degraded signal sources to find nothing but fucking toxic waste, more like toxic waste of my fucking time.
Storage. Why the fuck can't they just add storage?
>but anon, UI design takes time!
Fuck it, function now, form later. I don't care if it's a stick figure with dicks for hands. Modding non core components is pretty fucking dumb at this point too, unless you plan on never, EVER, switching up your load out. What a clusterfuck, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Probably a private group faglord that came to open to see what the real world is like, shat himself at the sight of a player with weapons.
What the hell are all those cum stains on Adder's cockpit ceiling ?
Holy moly /edg/ is back
did they fix the game yet?

>>144103642
Not sure why, I loved viper mk 4 but its so fucking slow and fat that it can't turn for shit and gets outmaneuvered by literally everything except maybe a type 9 and who the fuck fights in a type 9.
>>144106617
theres no gravity anon, and it gets lonely hauling cargo in space
has anyone else noticed the FAS has a coffee dispenser either side of the pilots chair? do the other fed ships have them as well?

Don't worry man, it takes a while. You'll get it within a couple of hours.

Corvettes kind of overrated tbqh my dude
>>144118331
Yeah? What setup do you recommend? I tried liking the cutter but it turns slow. MAYBE if I ever get level 5 engines I'll try again.
Vette right now eats up everything on RES. Have it with 2 huge cannons and all burst lasers on rest.
JUST
>>144116453
told you man, happy gathering
>>144118697
I don't see a problem with giving casuals a chance in solo.
>>144118608
Don't listen to Imperials
>>144118608
Conda is still generally considered the best
The thing with the Corvette is that you sacrifice A LOT just to have that extra huge.
Conda can do whatever a Corvette can, and can do a lot more better. It's arguable that the Conda can even spit out more damage the corvette can, because it has those three large in addition to that huge.
>>144118901
Already done. Picked up 15. Next, to find Polonium, after playing roulette with the engineer for a bit.
>>144119089
no idea where to find polonium, heard some people searching for days and not finding a single one.
>>144118982
Turn rate has never been more important, in addition, shields are important as well.
Conda is excellent, granted, it also blows the Corvette out of the water when trading and exploring, but Corvette in a nick better.
Can we have a materials location chart to go with ship grind chart?
>>144118982
Well, what you give up is basically jump range, at least from what I've been able to gather.
But I have gone to Beagle Point with my explorer anaconda. Jumping 20 times to do 200LY doesn't bother me.
Having said that, it's just not worth grinding the billions of credit I did to get the Cutter and Vette in addition to the Anaconda. Anaconda can do everthing the other 2 can at least 90% as good. And jumping is at least 30% better, DESU.
>>144119185
The turn rate is only a smidge better, it's very trivial.
It has better shields, but the Conda has good shields AND good armor.
Unless 2.1 has changed any of that, i have no clue.
Ultimately it comes down to preference.
>>144118980
Hey, when I got back to trading, the Cutter will be there for me.
Unless they finally release the Panther Clipper.
Also, am I nuts or does 4chan DESU my sentences a lot?
>>144119346
This is only because they for some reason decided to make the Conda light as fuck
>>144119492
It's more important than you think, damage uptime is much better in the corvette, and in the end, with that and good shield durabiltiy you just get a better fighting ship. Also, armour is bypassed because everyone just plants their target.
>>144119573
That will forever be unexplainable to me. The >ASP was supposed to be the ultimate exploration vessel. Why make the Conda so good at jumps and not, say, T9s? It's not even keeping with older games lore.
IDK, maybe Braben has an Anaconda shaped dildo he really likes or something.
>>144119779
Also dual huge autocannons for wrecking the shit out of everything once shields are down. Only reason I ever flee RES is when I retardedly hit security forces when untargetting for chaff avoidance.
>>144119932
In addition, the corvette out masslocks and outruns the conda. If the corvette ever needs to run from a fight with a conda, it just leaves, but if the conda tries to leave, it's going to be hell or death.
>>144119782
It's weird with Frontier, they put in things that don't make any sense until 6 content patches down the road. To me, the ships put in, back in 1.5 are only now even starting to have a use. Jumprange may just be not the primary thing to look out for when it comes to exploring one day. It just means you cover larger distances in shorter times, but you are not exploring any more or less stars than someone with three times your range.
>>144121162
This, jumprange doesn't increase the number of objects you arrive at, it just lets you go to Saggy taggy/begul boint/neutron land faster
now the AI is too easy
I dont know what to say
>>144121738
It's always like that with Frontier. They overdo something, then overreact, then nerf it to the ground.
>>144122575
hate to say it but I think I preferred the stonk AI
I never been in the crowd that hated it except those ridiculous bugs
AI making me flee from combat in a conda was something
and after I started considering AI as more dangerous combat became a bit too tense little room for errors
I know the fact the new AI wrecked the shit out of smaller ships but I hope they retrain the strong AI with good payouts in a separate zone
like COMPROMISED HAZ REZ
No one wanted the AI nerf.
It was the glitch weapons that were a problem.
>>144121162
Thats because it takes 6 content patches of grinding time to unlock/afford the ship
and the dads complain that people use exploits
>>144123446
They should keep the advanced AI and engineer mods for those deadly and elite npcs.
Still, there's a lot of cheesy AI tricks that imo not worth the increased difficulty, like crazy pich rates on large ships, chaff spam, insane speed.
Recently had a fight with a Python that kept SCBing his shields for what it seemed like two minutes straight.
>it says 100% paintjob integrity
how?
>>144124997
maybe stop running elite on a fucking potato
>>144124997
This set is pre-weathered.
I regret being such a lazy cunt when ezpz smuggling was a thing. I want a conda so bad, but the grind is so fucking boring to me now. Getting interdicted and having to pay attention after every fucking jump is such a pain in the arse.
Are there any easyish ways to make some moolah nowadays?
>>144125452
Check the previous thread, altough it's too late for you.
>>144125578
If it's too late why bother telling me senpai?
>>144125837
To bamboozle you of course.
>>144125391
I am running on a laptop
plz no bully
also ftroop quality ship design
Ok fuck it.
I am going to start playing the game again since there are lists on where to get materials easily.
All I really want is a long jump range python that turns slightly better.
I am afraid I will get sucked into vision and end up wasting another 100 hour of my life on this shit.
>also
Why the fuck where heat sinks nerfed?
NO ONE WANTED A HEAT SINK NERF?!
Do they decide updates based upon rolling dice?
>>144125452
I find doing more runs with lower cargo space but much higher jump range and no refuelling is better.
I can go to Sothis/Robigo in 15~ jumps without having to stop for fuel. It means picking up fewer missions but then again not that many spawn any more to begin with.
>>144111101
Maybe its because like any game with open pvp the community is fucking horrid and incredibly aggressive for no reason.
This is one of the many reasons I despise open pvp and refuse to play in open.

yep

Does Sothis still work or has it been UA'd? What about Fehu?
>>144131279
I'm guessing I can get it from any engineer that has multicannons then? Because im federation and I dont think todd mcquinn will like me much, being the alliance cuck he is.

I used to aggressively fly up behind other players in supercruise like I was about to start interdicting them. Typically they'd either leave the game or start yelling at me. One guy threatened to report me.
>>144133264

The community is 3/4 the problem with this game.
The rest of the issue is the devs pushing that "hurr hardcore kill everyone you see" faggotry to make up for wasted youth.
Literally everyone thinks that every other player is a griefing fuck. This game pretty much has no community at all. I talk to people ITT 10x more than people in the actual game.
Protip: 9/10 of the other players that see you do not give a shit about you.
I know Mobius exists, but that only makes the problem worse because now there's even fewer players in Open then ever before and still just as many actual griefers.
And Solo mode is cancer. It shouldnt exist at all.

I think a large portion of the playerbase has PTSD from getting murdered, so now whenever they see a hollow square they shit themselves and run.
I'm really confused. They post shit like this unironically right
>>144136008
Honestly pham, I would run too. Because the only player interaction coded into this game is combat.
When some dude approaches you it's certainly not because he has a proposition to execute a lucrative mission together or assist him in minig or asking if you would like to join his corp.
>>144136403
Is that why the dads defend the shit AI code so much? Because a woman wrote it? (or she at least acts like she wrote it while the men fix it)
I'm at the point where I think this community deserves whatever happens to it.
FD would run this game into the ground as long as it means they get to keep a small-ish circlejerk going while the game wastes newbies 2 hour refund time with shitty tutorials.
That's actually the one thing in this game I cant get over. There's a link to a YouTube video in the menu of a $65 dollar game.

There, we just made a better space game than Elite
So let's pretend it's 2018 and we can finally walk around space stations and interact with NPC's. What do you expect we'll be able to do on space station while in fps
>grinding for FDL
it truly never ends ;_;
But what makes Elite so compelling isn’t so much about the game as the experience. It’s the tinkering with and the taking out of a performance car for a Sunday drive, not to rack up more miles, nor to break any speed limits, but to just feel the growl of the engine and the wind comb through what’s left of your hair. To remember those carefree days arched over a BBC Micro or blinking angrily into a Lenslok and to forget for a short while that you have to make 357 people redundant in the morning. Elite is a hermetically-sealed escape capsule and it’s the best there is. Hell, you could fire the game up and just sit there on a launch pad and the sounds are enough to carry you away, so strong is your ship’s presence and so absorbing are the station surroundings.
Taking off, tearing through the station entrance a little too fast and just missing a Python, angling for the next jump, scooping fuel from a blazing sun, spinning the camera around your ship to catch its best profile, starting a fight just for the hell of it, seeing smok rise from the command console, hearing the screen crack and precious oxygen escaping into space and landing back at base with seconds to spare – these are the moments that make Elite essential. Trading, missions, mining – not so much. But it’s ok, we’re not going anywhere.

Home world and necrons.
I have more fum in this thread than the actual game.
I'll try again.
Is Sothis still functional, or has it been UA'd to death? Should I just go for Fehu?

As far as I know, Robigo is the only one that was UA'd

Does that Hudson turret thing still work?

They said the patch is coming weekend/next week so you have about 3 days give or take

Is there a specific system we are looking for or any military strike will do?

Just do something else until the patch hits
>>144162227
If its legit just cry about it to devs and they'll reimburse you. Probably even works if you're lying.

Homeworld and freespace are amazing games.
>off to work for the day
Try not to die, please.
This thread is back.
I'm tempted to give the game a try again to see how little has changed.
Let me guess. All the events/mission/etc payouts are still balanced around the idea that you're in a Cobra. Anything that generates the sort of profits that large ships like Anacondas would take notice of is still labeled as an exploit. Dads that haven't re-rolled new characters yet are finally approaching their first million credits.
Can the engineers at least upgrade my FTL drive? Because that's the one system that I care most about.
>>144164291
You can find the rare smuggle mission inside the bubble itself now, rather than in quantity 400 Ly out.
You should perhaps wait until after the weekend, there are insane weapon bugs in circulation right now, leading to NPC railguns firing so fast they are basically beams, or multi-cannon PA that kills a corvette in 2 seconds.
Also, yes, you can achieve a 30% permanent innate FSD boost with all ships. Grindy though.
Did they rebalance power consumption on modules?
I'm suddenly lacking over 2mw on my python, while I was at a comfortable margin when I last played around January...
Goodnight, /edg/. Please don't die yet.
>>144166273
Nevermind, I am retarded. I forgot I had loaded up on SCBs, and they are counted as installed and powered in the outfitting overview.
Hey, /edg/, I have an idea.
Now that CMDR DuoCox is a thing, we should step forward. What about we make a unironically shitposting player faction?

Thanks for the info. It'll probably be weeks before I bother giving the game a try, but I might dust off my flight stick to try finally outfitting my conda for combat and boosting my FSD.

Adapt or move on you whiner. Frontier has already stated that it's working as intended. Maybe play the game instead of mindlessly farming credits.

OH SHIT IT'S HAPPENING
I hope you guys made enough merits, /edg/.
what is the cubeo/robigo equivalent of prospecting materials
is there a godlike planet that yields all mats
did the merit cycle not happen? i still have my original amount of merits and am rank 1
>>144176074
Servers haven't gone down yet to update the cycle, we're now overdue for it.
>>144175547
Doubtful, even with rng procedural gen they probably limited the amount/type of mats per planet to a set number, but who knows, there's probably a star system with an enormous amount of high metal planets yielding most mats.
If you're looking for a certain mat best to google for it specifically rather than go prospecting the nearest high metal planet.
>>144178374
>have 300 mats
>but cant even build a single grade 1 engi blueprint
gg frontier mats are balanced
did some research
>you have to kill transport specially to get chemical stuff, its like kicking puppies

want to find vanadium
>forums says rock rings
>some site says ice mining
>others say metallic planet
>some forum dad points out a 10k LY away system and claims he can go there in 30 minutes
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>144178932
I found shit-tons of Vanadium on random metal-rich planets.
Each planet has a drop table for elements, so once you've seen 3 common, 2 uncommon and 1 rare you've seen everything that planet has to offer.
>>144179227
so I have to go full froumdad and keep a spreadsheet to keep track of planets and materials huh?that doesnt sound that bad
also is this the same case with the mining rings? Are they viable for mat grinding
rip servers
>>144179394
Not even that, people are already making google docs with all the resources. Wait a week and let the Forumdads do it for you
>>144179507
I found this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LgMaX9n6Yp8DQKq-u-eF1HH2xQ-_aUgSfSJna6mTuLs/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0
but how do I make it show reasonably close planets
>>144179659
I'm not too sure, there are various programs ( EDDiscovery ) and websites ( Inara cz ) that you can find the location from you, but im not sure where you can find bulk locations ( i.e. comparing all of the sites to your current location )
>>144179945
if I can autosort based on distance to sol that would be enough for me
>>144179227
Some planets have both 2 rares and a very rare though.

I dont know how they coded it but shutting down a service to update something feels like intern level coding
No systems to expand for all powers. Is the fun over?
>>144180045
Yeah, Inara has a bookmark feature which i think would work in your situation, you'd have to add the m manually which sucks but at least its something
servers are back up

Welp, rip military strikes, rip merits, rip vouchers, rip everything.

>>144181891
Is it that bad?
>>144182170
yes
literally no contested systems anywhere, not anymore
>>144182193
Did they freeze powerplay, or did /edg/ break the shit out of it with the funzone?
Anon, I've currently got a battleconda outfitted for maximum rape. I love the shit to death, but I am thinking of selling it and going for the Corvette, especially since the new C4 guns have arrived.
tl;dr
Should I keep my conda or go corvette?
wat do?
>>144182193
Say I want to maintain my rank 5, I have 5020 merits carried over. What would be the best way to get 5000 more for next week. I'm not in to power play that much
>>144182780
Interdict enemy vessels in enemy space. Shoot to kill and cash in 30 merits per ship.
Why can't we nominate Robigo? There is only one system for nomination.. Hudson is kill?
>>144182537
Conda, unless you want to take 30 jumps to travel 10 ly in your fed corvette
>>144182880
You're supposed to prepare the system to a threshold before it can be nominated for expansion if memory serves.
