H-hey there...what are you anons up to this fine evening?

>>145824974
I am grinding for more credits, but wishing I was flying an Imperial Eagle again.
>>145824974
Doing missions and helping a minor faction just because.
Even playing like a dad, I can't wrap my head around how they are okay with this shit. Every once in a while I'll get a bugged mission or OOPS REDIRECT and it just ruins what fun I have. I can barely stand combat now either. Yeah it's harder but now every fight is just turnfights where the AI always can turn tighter than you no matter what ship you have, and basically all you do is FA OFF turnfight and hope the AI doesn't have railgun spam.
>>145824974
Sothis
Tradaconda
Asp
by the way can anyone confirm that Sothis is dead? There's no biowaste missions anymore
>>145824974
Grinding credits so that I can pimp out my conda and maybe a few other ships.
Then I guess I'll gaze into the vision that is engineers to try and upgrade my FSD to ludicrous jump ranges.
Nice view from your Diamondback there.
>>145826084
My tradeconda just arrived at Sothis. I'm starting to jump modes. I'll lament here if I can't find anything.
I did find a mission to move 2 tons of hydrogen fuel for 800k.
>>145824974

I'm seeing a few biowaste missions. I've found the following so far since that post:
24 tons: 4.7 mil
6 tons: 2.4 mil
18 tons: 3.7 mil
Also of a few hydrogen fuel missions of varying interest.
So I guess Sothis isn't dead. But fuck rng.
>>145827064
I don't think it will die until their "holiday" is over.
Hopefully I can milk the place until they do shut it down.
>>145827458
even if they shut it down sothis mining in the same system has a SHITLOAD of mineral delivery missions
you can make 15M a run EZ with an ASP

>Want to do some space combat
>Start to boot up Elite
>Realize it would probably take me 15 minutes just get to some lame RES or Nav beacon and then spend an hour scanning targets to kill for a pittance with no real challenge or excitement

I really wish ED had missions that just created a hotspot for you to go to to kill a few ships, none of this faffing about with going to RES and Nav beacons to scan for mission targets or waiting around for assassination targets to spawn. All I want is a quick in and out mission where I get some combat and make a reasonable amount of money, you'd think that was a lot to ask for or something.
>>145828173
If it were just one ship I wish I could quit using it would be the ASP. I get that it has the hardware to be that flexible, but I have put far too much time into one of those.
>>145830195
ikr
it looks ugly as fuck too, like a space dorito. I wished the DBE was actually worth shit
>>145830286
I think the DBE needs a bit of love so that it's somewhat more competitive with the ASP. I will not lie the DBE was one of my favorite ships to pilot, whereas the ASP was more like begging to be done piloting the thing.
>>145830649
It desperately needs at least one more internal slot to accommodate an SRV without sacrificing a proper exploration suite.

>>145840390
FDEV finally closed the servers for good
>Alright, here is my attempt at fixing powerplay.
First things first, we're throwing everything out and starting from scratch. First, there will be three main powers, Empire, Federation and Alliance, and they are in a state of cold war with each other. Second, there are minor powers, the actual members of each group, Patreus, Aisling, etc. The minor powers of a faction are all allied to each other and provide support for the effort in differing ways. To use the Empire as an example, Paterus uses military support, Aisling handles Public relations, Torval provides logistical support and Aisling provides law and stability in a region. We will of course need more characters to balance out the three factions. To join, you sign up with a faction and a leader. You are now enemy to the other two factions and killing another player of an enemy faction pays a bounty, more if they're in your side's territory. Not too different so far from what we were given, just cleaning up the mess they gave us and getting rid of stupid shit like internal conflict in the face of a larger threat.
cont..
>>145841050
Now, you've picked a side and a leader to follow. That leader has a general goal to accomplish and you are given a mission to complete for that cycle, everyone could get a different mission and it's not always the same. It's like a smaller, dyamic community goal. For example, you're an edgy faggot so you joined Delaine. His overall goal is fucking up logistics for Empire and Federation via mass acts of piracy. Your goal for the week is to grab a trade ship IFF beacon, either buy one or murder a trader until you get one, and run around some heavily guarded stations pretending to be a trader while picking up all the current trade routes and convoy timetables and reporting them back to the pirate hoard. Once that's done, you join the pirate hoard and raid some trade lanes with npc wingmates and steal torval's latest slave convoy out from under her. Money and access to pirate modified gear, paintjobs or livery are your rewards, maybe you'll gain a rank. Ranks don't degrade, that's stupid.
cont..
Let me introduce: The Dadbotherer.
http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=70h,CFBCFB9qS9qS0Wg0Wg0Wg0Wg,316Q6Q6Q3m4s3m6k,13q13q13q12G
>>145841159
If all of a side's minor factions complete their goal, the major faction goal is completed and they gain control of, not just one sector, but a region of maybe 10-20 systems. If two or more sides make a grab for the same region, now we're in the WAR stage of powerplay. During WAR, each side gets a base sector and grab regions one by one via straight up murdering other enemy players and npc's and larger scale goals like seiging all the stations in a system. Sometimes a positive special event will kick in and you'll have Patreus and the royal fleet jump in or Aisling shows up and flashes her titties or throws a concert, whatever is keeping her popular this week, that changes the mood of the system to her side. Sometines a negative special event will happen and Hudson goes into fuckyou mode and drops bioweapons on the planets, eradicating all life in the system, leaving it desolate and worthless. These conflicts change the actual face of the system and aren't some temporary instance only cutscene.
cont..
>>145841282
If your side wins the region, you get bonus money, special deals and special "Battle of Pleiades" or whereever ship decals. The minor goals are now more difficult for the winner's next cycle and vice versa. All of this would be covered with lore like galspan news articles and listing names of players that outdid themselves that cycle.

You have to pay rent for the storage each day and you can do it remotely forcing you to either stay there or travel to pay the fee every single day.

You also have to pay a transfer fee every time you move any of the cargo around.

>>145873862
Meh, good enough.
>>145872624
Well, space games were never a big crowd draw to begin with. Then there is the cost.
Up until relatively recently, our only hope was the X series, but they shit the bed with Rebirth, which was supposed to be a money sink for them to continue working on their new space engine for X4 but that fell through.
It costs too much money and doesn't have enough draw. Big publishers aren't going to fund a space sim; Infinity Ward is trying by disguising one as a Call of Duty game but that's not going to pan out too well.
So the devs have to do it themselves, and with no publisher to keep them leashed, we're at the mercy of "artistic vision" versus gameplay. Braben tried doing it the cheap way but he can't afford good programmers and had a staff used to working on rollercoaster games. Roberts has been doing it the expensive way and honestly I'm surprised he hasn't just taken the money and ran at this point. Either way, both of them have lost their minds in the process.
The people that made the games we fondly remember are gone. The team that made Freespace? Gone. The group that made Freelancer? Scattered to the winds. Independence War? Retired. We will never have what we had again.

So far, nothing has been said of X4, they're still doing shit for rebirth.
>>145891253
You're thinking of Civ 6
Decide his fate /edg/
>>145891735
Scrolling past trying to find a new game to play. To be fair, they've managed to fix 75% or more of what was wrong with Rebirth so far, so it's been worth the effort.

Oh no! the collective vision has breached reality and thrown you back in time!
You sit staring at the kickstarter pages for elite dangerous and star citizen, knowing all you currently do about them in 2016.You have to back one of them, but due to space magic you have been gifted exactly enough money for whichever one you pick.
The time has come for you to decideor do you take the mystery box?

fortunately I've got a friend who'll bend over backwards to hold onto it so I can change ships but holy shit this game is trying my patience

Can someone link me to the turrent credit farming post please.

How long till it gets fixed? I lurked pp forums people don't mention this at all. Shouldn't legit pp players be mad at this or are dads doing it too?

You open the box, inside you find a pair of socks with a wing design. Your wife walks over and tells you to pick up her son from school. Before you leave you check your bank account and confirm the payment has been taken for both SC and ED kickstarters, then head to the Frontier forums and put some entitled CoD kiddies in their place. Congratulations CMDR, you are a true visionary. o7

>>145898453
Nobody knows yet. Next update of fixes in november.
>>145898519
Someone posted this on forums. Mods closed the thread for "excessive language"
https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5763cb959657badf6e40e70a
Reminder that if a ship covered in guns sails close to an aircraft carrier in international waters and after multiple warnings to move away the aircraft carrier uses force to remove you from its exclusion zone the aircraft carrier is being an unprovoked aggressor.
Also that sending a military ship to watch over an alien device spitting artefacts that cripple technology is an evil blockade.When will fdev scrap community galnet.
>>145899413
>place aircraft carrier wherever you want, right above some place you lay claim to
>don't go into my exclusion zone ree
this is what americans actually believe
>>145899413
Is there any reason why Fed cap ships are firing on private research vessels?
>>145899413
>dads actually read this stuff daily, while driving wife's son to school, and pretending that they are somehow envolved and understand what's going on
>>145899807
I wonder why a massive war machine parked so that its exclusion zone doesn't actually stop you getting anywhere is firing on ships covered in guns flying right at it.
>>145899748
>sail gunboat into aircraft carrier
>unprovoked attack reeeeee
this is what forumdads actually believe.
>>145899938
They write it while babysitting Jamal.
Is there an inbetween ship (asp -> tradeconda) for the sothis runs? This tiny amount of cargo space is driving me crazy
>>145902347
A python is a good in-between point. Worked for me
>>145893490
Haven't played lately have you?
Nowadays powerplant at 0% just makes it output 50% of its power. If you keep hammering it for longer it will make things go boom, but otherwise its just a handy way to disable NPCs
>>145902484
Just looked at a build for it. Looks good, but the jump range is so shit, probably still worth. What size scoop you think for a trade python? 3 seems like it would take too long
>elite is such a pain in the ass to play now that I just read this thread whenever I'm in the mood for it
>>145903629
So you're just like that dads but instead of posting/reading forum you go here? How do we call this phenomana?

>>145908113
Did they increase mission payouts?
I'm never going to RES hunt again now that I can just keep going from station to station getting missions that pay me 1,000,000+.
We really can't die huh

I had more fun with the mission that had me go and destroy a little settlement's generator that I ever have with farming a RES.
>>145911767
I may not be fun, but it's better than docking simulator with a loading screen.Why do I still play this game?
Are there any missions to attack pirates on planets? I just want to do some CAS runs in my fed ship.
Who has/had the worst forumdads? TOR or Elite?

>>145915905
>>145916647
Holy shit I remember when this started happening. Things were already going downhill and the community started turning on each other since the devs gave up trying to improve the game. Probably what will happen with Elite soon.
>>145915905
I remember griping about not adding a LFD tool in that game on their forums.
The dads got mad at me.
Does turret spinning also work for Zachary Hudson or did Ftroop do something to the AI for him? PLS HALP i need to know before i defect from space milf.
I don't understand this. I've logged in and out, but this is still bugged. Why?
>>145924670
Pretty sure any AI in PP combat expansion is bugged(milstrike and crime sweep)

Eh, doing two jumps for 2.1m in profit isn't too bad I guess. Tradeaconda finally pulling its weight.
>>145927470
I'm not. It's mostly meant as a way to get really good trader cash.
I've seen guys making 2+ million per trip.
The russians are going to fucking wreck all these dad groups, fucking based Russia
>>145927994
I just made 2.42m on a single run. I'mma do one more and screen shot it.
>>145928261
Not when the dads can just retreat to their own private groups, or just go solo
>>145928869
You don't even need to touch them, you just need to haul more than their dadbras do.
>>145928869
Yeah, so what? The Russians are winning the dangerous games and cucking every single dad group
https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57626b3d9657bad91b2afaf6
Do the credits you haven't sent in get reset at the end of the pp cycle?
I've heard the railbeam/vision accelerator bug is still a thing, rare, but a thing. I have a fuckton of exploration data aboard and now i don't know if i want to undermine my way to 10,000 LYR merits, should i just suck it up and spend 100mil to cart papers for chinaman?
>>145929404
>software updates thousands of lightyears from civilization
I know they're trying to explain the patches in lore-friendly terms, but shit they could have picked something a little more realistic
>>145927994
feels good man
>2664 in game
>>145931138
They aren't explaining anything. That's just a news story some fag wrote up because two guys went around the galaxy in Cobras. Kinda neat but don't mistake this as the devs trying to explain anything, they already do a great enough job of releasing terrible patch notes and only giving out information in needlessly cryptic and nonsensical riddles.
>>145932305
>Steam
Go look at Elder Scrolls Online's numbers. Isn't it like 1K?
At E3 it was proven that they have 7 Million players.
>>145932305
You're hitting late night US, early morning bondland times, so we're on sleepy times so less people are on. The game is treading steady at around 4k each day average, but I don't think we'll ever see the numbers that Horizon saw ever again. It's kind of funny to see the huge increase in players in December and then freefall to numbers that were lower than before Horizons released. Give it a little more time as people wrap up grinding for Engineers and realizing that this patch added fucking nothing and those numbers will drop further.
Also remember that quite a few people don't use the Steam client to launch the game, so they aren't accounted for.

What is this about Russians fucking over Dads?
Can I help fuck over the Dads? I have a tradeconda. Will travel.
I haven't paid attention to this power play wildcard shit at all.
So I bring conductive fabrics to Tartarus point? Is there a recommended place to stock up on the fabrics, or are we keeping the location of our suppliers secret?
Which faction are we turning the stuff in for? From the screenshot I assume EG Pilots?
>>145934075
Basically, the group EG Pilots is made up nigh entirely of russian hardcore players that don't give a flying fuck about forums and dads, they started out as an obscure group, then they mass voted themselves in, then they became wildcard material, and now they are utterly annihilating everyone else, wovles of jonai, adle's armada, all the english speaking dadder groups are being kicked on the porch and having their tender assholes widened so broadly by slavic intervention that you can drop a watermelon down there sideways.
>>145934435
how do I fuck the dads over?
>>145934682
Help EG Pilots and let Putin annex the bubble
>>145934796
by bringing conductive fabrics to tartarus point?
>>145934869
Yeah, just make sure its their CG you deliver to
>>145934435
Excellent. My tradeconda is completing a Sothis run right now. That was going to be the conclusion of my VISION for the evening and I was going to play something else, but now I'm thinking about helping kick the dads while they're down.
>>145935104
Welp, I just squeezed enough money to buy myself a tradeconda, guess I'll do that
>>145935168
It's gonna repay itself fast. 400~ cargo will net you a healthy 2.1m~ profit. The event is on for 4 more days. Crush your soul, start trading.
>>145936719
I've been doing sothis runs for 4 days with my Asp
there's nothing left of my soul to crush
>>145936809
were you around before they nerfed mission spawning and earnings?
you could literally earn 60m in one single sothis run with something like 30 cargo. that's how I got my anaconda in the first place.
>>145937108
yeah, I used to do robigo runs
that's how I got my python and A ranked it but I sold it for a FAS when 2.1 dropped
>>145937181
>A ranked python but I sold it for a FAS
why
>>145937572
got bored of it
now that I can afford a tradeconda I'll sell the asp and rebuy a python for muh multirole
Is it just me, or did the AI get not only an upgrade to their flying, but also an upgrade to their weapons?
I'm in a fucking Python and got taken down to 68% by an FAS.
>>145931003
pls respond
>>145938576
The devs have said it's gone, but I am apt not to believe them.
>>145938690
It has happened again, dads have mentioned it, it's definitely much rarer, maybe only 1% of what it was before, but holy fuck the rage if it happens.
>>145938576
Just afk turreting then defect later once you get 20k and stop playing until cycle reset
>>145938852
>afk turreting with 150mil explo data
i was a madman enough to go to saggy but i'm not madman enough for that
>>145938852
Where exactly do you even afk turret?
What's the best ship to take RES farming if I can't stand the FDL?
>>145938576
One of the /edg/lords told me that the bug was related to a dangling pointer error relating to the NPC randomized engineer weapon stats being generated by one player and then being transferred to a second player. That the bug arose when one player generated legal NPCs, a second player entered the instance, and the host player left the instance. Allegedly at that point, the NPC's would be transferred to the new host and they'd look towards the same memory address on player 2's machine as player 1's machine. Except player 2's machine has garbage data at that address instead of legally generated weapon data, so the NPC weapons adopt performance characteristics across the entire gamut of lolbad to HOLYSHITWHAT.
tl;dr
If what the anon /edg/lord said was correct, you should be safe as long as you stay in solo mode.
But that's secondhand info to me. I haven't been rapid fire railgunned in solo mode yet for what it's worth.
>>145939279
However I also haven't been looking for fights. Just doing some vision runs out of Sothis and getting interdicted every now and then. So feel free to ignore me.
>>145939279
Fucking hell, solo mode? I guess i'll have to bite the bullet.
>>145937719
>sell the asp
why
i know it's a dad meme, but the way the game is designed it's literally the most versatile and afforable ship in the game.

I'd rather that we'd all be forced into open mode, but it's not my fault that FDEV fucked up the mode and turned it into a minefield of insta-gib railgun machineguns.
