>>144568932
>yfw loop of shame
>>144568932
>>144569024
Whoever made supercruise the way it is needs to be drown in a lake. What the fuck is this bullshit? I start accelerating with my throttle at zero? acceleration from a dead stop seems completely random and deceleration seems to depend on what you're targeting. If I didn't know better, I'd say the whole thing was a buggy concept.
>>144569294
I really like the concept myself, max acceleration is based on where you are in relation to each planetary body's gravity well, and current acceleration is 'optimized' depending on what you are flying and what you are targeting.
I've never had the issues you mention, but it's certainly not a fun or easy system to work with.
It's a really nice idea, but they could do to implement it a whole load better.
Is it worth it to run Sothis missions to get a python and outfit/engimeme it for exploration duty or just run sothis until suicide and get an exploration anaconda at like 200m credits? I have around 45mil in credits, 60-70million in total assets

All deepens on what your goal is.
Get more money? Buy ship with biggest cargo hold and best FSD and keep doing missions high profit missions until you can afford Python. Don't bother with trading it's not worth it.
Exploring? Grind until you can outfit explorational ASP
Combat? That's complicated. Basically you can get any ship, that isn't obvious space truck, and start fighting.

>>144576762
Actually community goals is a pretty good way to make money. With last update they've made it easier to find them. You can see them on mission board. Community goals pay out depending on how much you contributed to the goal. The current ones, where you have to mine gold, are shit. But there is one, you have to turn in combat bounties. If you get 2-4 bounties you're already guaranteed to be top 75% and that would lend you 3-5mil by the end of the week. You could invest more time by getting more bounties and get to top 50-25%. You would make 4 times the money you have now with less effort.
>>144576762
literally just hit a high RES with any ship
stick around the system security, swoop in when their target is at like 5% health. if you get an instance that spawns condas, FDLs, clippers, pythons and federal X ships you'll pull a couple million in an hour or so without much effort or risk
>>144549767
The funny thing is that this game is fucking awful for dads. At least if you have a young kid. No pause, 15 second logout timer, more if you're in combat. Takes a fucking retarded amount of time to get anywhere.

>>144574839
>>144575075
Git gud scrubs.Stations, wakes and signal sources are "virtual" masses and their influence goes away the instant you detarget them. If you throttle to zero and detarget before overshooting you can decelerate as though they weren't there.Do this in conjunction with gravity braking to perform high speed station approaches in seconds.
>>144583290
that sounds fun, which is outside of the scope of the Vision
>>144583290
If that ever comes to pass then the payout needs to be at least doubled for them to be worthwhile. In any case, there is already the possibility that the debris field will spawn inside the turbulence of the stellar body's upper exosphere. Your ship wobbles wildly, as does the can and if you fail to scoop it in a few passes then the can actually enters the atmosphere and you lose it.In which case another can spawns somewhere in the vicinity of the stellar body and you have to find it again.

>>144586321
Thrusters are magic anyway. The thrust they provide has a bottom limit dependent on the local gravity. A-thrusters or not you are probably at the limit for heavier planets. Of course this is mostly speculation since FD doesn't actually tell us these things.

bump + question
how much does a combat fit conda cost?
>>144592714
500 mill +
>>144592714
Minimum: probably like 250million if you use discounts and cut some corners
Ideally: ~450-500million for all A class parts and the like.
I hate this game. Please suggest me a decent space sim online
>>144586321
Then you don't get 41LY+ range. The oldschool exploration Annie gets its massive jump range from severely downranking everything, which literally slims it down by hundreds of tons:

>need 5k merits to maintain rating 5
>50 power allocations every HALF HOUR
Every day you would need to make 15 runs, and each run has to be 30min from each other so from the point you start you would be done in 7 1/2 hours. And that's daily. Who does this shit?
>>144596058
And the grade 5 FSD upgrade from Felicity can net up to 50% more range if you get exceptionally lucky (45% max RNG + possibility of +5% from secondary effects).
= Possible 60 LY jump range on exploration Anaconda.
>>144597138
By paying credits to get more power commodity without waiting.
When the AI isn't bugged to fuck and machine gun firing particle accelerators, or popping infinite chaff every 10 seconds (read: every elite enemy), or popping infinite SCBs while ignoring heat (read: every elite enemy), I'm starting to find them tolerable to deal with. Did they patch something, because I've been catching myself willingly fighting everything but elites who are in bigger ships than me and usually winning, and I'm a total fucking scrub at combat who does not even use FA-off.

holy shit you're right I have to do it while it's hot and I have 50 per 30 min. How much does it cost to get it early?
>>144599443
10K per merit.
It literally costs the whole 50mil salary you get at Rank 5 to maintain your rank entirely by fast-tracking merit commodities.
Mind you Hudsonfags can double-dip for bounties and merits so they don't have to do only commodities.
>>144599409
They took them out. It was just some server-side RNG tables.
>>144602874
I don't know about that. I got hit a few times by AIs with force shell cannons not even two hours ago.
>>144603790
Maybe they haven't pulled them down yet? Apparently it's only supposed to happen in open play. I mostly fuck around in solo so haven't seen it yet.
>>144604046
It happened in private group too. Basically any time you might instance with another player.
It's a dangling pointer issue. Under the engineers update the AI has dynamically-generated templates applied to its hardpoints whereas before they just chose from a static list.
Say player 1's client controls an AI, which has an overcharged pulse laser in hardpoint 1. Since all weapons are dynamic now, that laser's stats are stored separately in memory, say at a location we will call 0xFUCK, and the AI refers to it for weapon behavior whenever it fires.
Player 1 leaves the instance and the AI comes under the control of Player 2. The AI brings with it the knowledge that it should refer to memory location 0xFUCK to fire its laser. Only player 2 doesn't have any weapon data at 0xFUCK. It's not actually part of the AI data so it didn't carry over. What's actually at 0xFUCK could literally be any garbage data you can imagine, which gets interpreted as fuck-knows-what kind of weapon.

>finally took planetary landings seriously enough to grind for mats to rank up and unlock some of Martuuk & Farseer's mods, went to virtually every USS I could find and collected 500+ mats and 150 data before realising 600/200 was the limit (wtf, for what purpose?)
>even just lvl 1 upgraded thrusters are awesome on a smuggling Cobra, but I've only found and completed 1 LRS mission before they all disappeared, did get 3 nice stacked regular long range haul missions for 4M at a different fringe system tho

https://coriolis.io/outfit/cobra_mk_iii/0p5taFalddasdf4----0003034803012o2f.Iw1-kA==.MwBjCYQRjWpyJJA= since the percentage shown (in my case 4% don't have mats for reroll) is taken from the total so if you got lucky and rolled 11% it'd maybe take 24% HS down to 22% which isn't really worth the loss of power, but of course in other cases it'll have its uses

I probably should've curbed my curiosity about Engineers and continued BH or just tried smuggling/hauling with a Type-6 instead of grinding mats and I'd be in an Asp Explorer already, but je regrette rien, it's a fun game. A few more long range haul/smuggle missions and I'll get a comfy Asp and hopefully grind to Anaconda and/or Type-9.
Still <30M assets you're probably best off saving Engineers stuff for later, but journey, not the destination etc. /blogpost
>>144619207
Google for specific locations (longitude/latitude) on specific planets or you'll probably be looking for a looong time since every planet (even high metal content ones) only have a certain number of mats.
Or if you do find certain stuff otherwise, make a note of the long/lat where you find stuff.

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.

You can land on planets obviously if that's your cup of tea.
The recent engineers expansion is a total flop in my opinion. All it did was add an upgrade shop that you literally have to play wheel of fortune after grinding for hours if you want to get upgrades.
On the bright side, the recent update added a lot of quality of life changes. There's a clock on your HUD, stations have voiced traffic control which is really cool, you can set bookmarks, there are more minerals to mine, you can see what is in a USS by scanning it for a second instead of having no idea what you are about to drop in to, and a few other things I'm forgetting.
The AI also got a major overhaul. They are much smarter and challenging to fight, although they also received some agility cheats to compensate for them not being true humans. They also scale with their combat ranks, Elite having the best weapons and skill. The problem is that the game has no regard for anything when throwing a leveled AI at you. All I do is mine in a high sec system and every fucking time I'm heading back to my home station, I get interdicted over and over by Elite-level faggots in FASs and FDLs that spam missiles and PAs at me. They are able to knock my shields out within seconds. It makes the game horribly unfun if you don't have a combat-fitted ship. This could be easily fixed by implementing a system where harder level NPCs are found in anarchy/lowsec/war systems, and easier NPCs being found in hisec along with the faster sys authority response, but this will probably never happen because Ftroop has no fucking clue how to design a game like this.
Tl;dr all the worthwhile updates that have dropped since Horizon came out have been given for free as regular game updates. There is no reason to get Horizons unless you really want to take pretty pictures of barren planet surfaces or grind for hours for overpowered weapon upgrades.

What type of star is that?
>>144633848
It's a small red star in front of a bigger whiter star, I took it ages ago and am not smart enough to identify both specifically. I just thought it was a pretty placement for them both.
>>144633987
You could have started an entire mystery about unknown star type but you fucking blew it. I'm stealing this pic and posting on forums, later when this general dies, calming this is a new star type
>>144635221
I ain't that type of man, I'm too damn honest, but I look forward to your attempts.

Isn't mobius some kind of pve community or something?
>>144633337
I've already explained that like half a year ago in one of those ded treds.
Elite galaxy has no gradual rise in star density and instead uses chunks.
One chunk it's normal and the next one is high density. That's what you are seeing.
Compared to Space Engine this is truly pathetic. Also, no globular clusters anywhere.
Also, the notion of ED being a 1:1 scale representation of our galaxy is laughable and only used by the most retarded of drones.

How the fuck does this game currently have 4K players online? What the hell are they all finding to do that's so enjoyable? They can't all be forum dads.

I hope she doesn't, honestly
The game is its funnest ever and so is the forums :)
>>144643040
The gulag is always golden, no matter what.
However the more challenging combat has brought a certain edge to the game. I haven't really experienced what the weaker enemies are like since there is no reason for me to downgrade from my topkek tier corvette, but I hope noobs aren't totally fucked over for bounty hunting.
>>144644287
They are. If you are in anything less than an A ranked vulture you basically cannot bounty hunt. At least not while breaking 1m an hour.
>>144645810
At all? Or just that it is slower and harder?
I suspect ftroop can't make low intensity actually easier but only spawn less shit?
>>144580456
It's because ftroop can't into min-maxing, so they balanced the conda's base mass (and consequently jump range) around the assumption that we'd be weighing ourselves down with a gorillan tons of weapons, shields, and fuck huge power plants .
Then we stripped everything down to a FSD strapped to cockpit and tried to leap beyond the gaze of the VISION.
[spoiler ]there is no escaping the vision. O7 [/spoiler ]
When I set a destination and the path is obscured, is there some way to get into frameshift and fly around the object that is blocking my path without having to unselect my destination?
>>144646035
Low intensity spawns less hostile ships and more system security ones. I suspect that it restricts doesn't spawn anything above expert either, for the hostile ships ONLY.
What this means is that what few bounties do spawn, will be swarmed by a massive amount of police ships and killed in seconds, and rarely will a noob be able to tag it unless they are RIGHT next to it when it spawns.
Noobs get absolutely slaughtered in medium or high.
>>144646578
You can bind a key to enter supercruise, I use shift+j.
Also, dangerous python interdicts ME, opens fire on me FIRST, I blow his faggot ass up and that's somehow assault and murder.
Fuck this bullshit ass game.

>However the more challenging combat has brought a certain edge to the game
It has. I just jumped back in for the first time since December and a fucking NPC Eagle was giving me trouble in my DB Scout. I used to shoot those fuckers down inside of a minute.
I'm not saying I'm really good at this, I'm not. It just used to be that Eagles went down instantly and now apparently not so much.
Merit turreting fixed yet?
>>144648487PIP MANAGEMENT
Also NPC eagles have shields that are 2 or 3 classes higher than they are supposed to be able to fit.
>>144649929
I manage the shit out of my pips. I guess I need to start practicing some FA off shit.

When 2.1 dropped I ditched human space to let the community and frontier sort everything out so I have some screenshots to contribute. I think I'm gonna stay out here for a few months while people experiment with everything they changed.
>>144651918
That's... actually a cool idea.
>>144651918
>>144652052
>>144652192
It's a nice change of pace for me since I never really did any exploring before now.
>need to jump 1kly to the california nebula for Arsenic
CAN'T WAKE UP
>>144652471
So, did 2.1 do anything for the game?
>>144652740
>>144652996
>>144652985
It made missions better, it completely broke powerplay and made the AI not retarded.
Engineers are also a thing
>>144653183
>>144653406
>exploring in a clipper
for what purpose
Did this place get infiltrated by forumdads or something?
I want to buy the Trader Cutter but I have six ranks to go in empire.
Is faction leveling not retarded now or should I just give up and buy type 9?
>>144651918
If you're going to post leddit tier exploration albums at least post the high res non aliased ones.
>>144653406
>>144653569
Buy a trade Conda, trade type 9 is shit
>>144653234
Engineers are still a grindwall, though.
Did they fix the AI bugs with the broken weapons?
>>144653707
but muh max cargoHow much for an A fitted tradeconda?
>>144653713
They removed most of the Engineer upgrades from the AI and I haven't seen a broken AI weapon since then but apparantly they're still out there but you should have the task manager open for this game open
>>144653809
I use http://coriolis.io/outfit/anaconda/08D7D6A5D8D8D5C1e1e1e1e272724240404040404040400060505054a040403f432f2.Iw18ZlA=.MwBhrSunfEg=?bn=Trade%20Conda this
Its also effectively immune to pirates and gankers
>Want to do engineers, need to do that mission for Sirius access but its bugged and so we simply can't do the mission.
>Want to do missions for rankup so one day I can buy the cutter or corvette. But I can't because the missions I get bug out and can't be completed.
>Want to just fucking mine a bit and at least do something in this game. Can't, I'm at 600/600 materials and I'm already down to less than 10 of the very common ones, the collectors will not pick up anything from this point on.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
>>144654032
I'm amazed they have a material/data limit, they should just have made it effectively unlimited at integer cap considering materials and data persists through death
>>144653534
It's a Cutter. Just kinda felt like it. It's like exploring the galaxy in a giant luxury yacht.
>>144653581
I didn't realize there was a hires screenshot tool at the time. Sorry. Cut me some slack, I've never been out exploring before so I don't really have a grasp for what is special and what isn't.

This look like a nice way to throw my credits away.
Thanks Anon
>>144654402
Just skimp on boosters and guns and buy in LYR space as its built for blockade running, a type 9 will get you killed.
>>144654502
>buy in LYR space
>>144654145
If they're to have a limit at least make it so that each material has a limit by itself and not a total one. If i get my 26th iron it should just be instant discarded on pickup and not interfere with my mining. I was tired of deleting materials every second rock but now I'm at a point where I just cant delete any of these things.

Ships bought from space controlled by the Li Yong Rui (siriusgov) powerplay faction have a 20% discount or something even if you're not pledged

I tried exploring once. What do you even do? Just check out cool places? Why land? Just because it might be cool?
>>144654986
Oh wow I completly forgot about this chink.
Thanks once again.
>>144654914
You can realistically destroy everything that can be easily mined as a fair few upgrades seem to require mining commodities anyway

Why not just jettison it, anon?
>>144655729
I need it for the engineer upgrade I'm gathering materials for
Finally got this piece of shit arsenic. Now I have to scan wakes and search for something in uss.
Fucking kill me now. Engineers is the worst addition. I get material but why the fuck do I have to scan wakes? By this point there should be enough scientific research on everything, why do top of the line, genius engineers require for me to go in field trips?
>>144656231
because this whole update was very poorly thought out
>>144656231
The data you need for that upgrade appears in almost every wake scan, just sit outside a high traffic starport
Lorewise FSD drives are only 5 years old
>>144655012
Just fly around to different systems and scan objects. There really isn't much of a reward to it other than it can be a neat pastime. I only land on planets I think will have a nice view or interesting surface structures like huge craters or mountains/valleys.
I think the reason I enjoy it is that it doesn't feel like a chore to me. When I have some downtime I can just hop on elite and look for cool stuff in space for a while. I usually get carried away when trading or doing combat.
Engineers update is literally Powerplay repackaged.

>>144661393
congrats on your complete waste of time i guess
>>144661647
holy shit a single tonne of iron, sure was worth coming all this way with a fucking pirate every other jump
>>144661393Nobody cares, you did all that for nothing. Even the graphics aren't too amazing[/spoiled]
>>144661719
what do you mean by complete waste of time, I sure got all of the arsenic I needed and not a fucking worthless common element like sulpher, have more screenshots to see how not a waste of time this was
>>144661901
well tough fucking shit you're going to look at my screenshots and enjoy them so at least someone can get some entertainment and purpose out of this trip
heres a barnacle about to explode and give me fuck all because I was lied to about the materials they drop
>>144662281
heres a mining fragment flying through the sky because fdev think this is how physics work

It's literal slot machines
You can't make this shit up

So you got your arsenic or what?
FINISH THE FUCKING STORY
>>144662054
So how did you find it?
I went to one people posted on forums and it was already all looted
>>144663009
heres the remains of the mining site after I destroyed every organic structure AND DIDN'T GET A SINGLE BIT OF FUCKING ARSENIC but I least I got to see lots of iron sulpher and I got one bit of tungsten!
