Elite Dangerous | Type-8 Update (18.08) | Wednesday 7th August
- Thread starter Paul_Crowther
- Start date
What FD have not told anyone is that the T-8 forms the torso and arms of a giant robo Lakon mecha.
I mean, my very first thought after seeing the Type 8 was “that looks like it transforms into a robot”.
My second thought was “that looks like a space moose”, so not all the thoughts can be winners.
All we need now is a cigar puffing Barry Hercules as an engineer.
Certainly gets the prize for originality.
In which case, I wonder what particular detail of robot anatomy the guys in Arf's gif for the next ship are reacting to?

Nice. I see we're one small step closer towards the good old "hurray for everything!"

Awwww farming power regulators was my favourite thing, and a nice little earner
This will be better for not breaking settlements though, fair.
Thanks for the Patch Notes.
No. Just more playing.
Yes I wonder if this will help the anarchy factions..Awwww farming power regulators was my favourite thing, and a nice little earner
Wish list -
Gecko, Constrictor and Boa ships.
Ship engineer option (only one mod per ship hull)
Materials required can be gained through mining, purchased on market or farmed etc..

- Stripped down (lighter base tonnage at loss of hull points?)
- Cooled (interior piped more efficiently for lower temp running)
- Monstered engine / FSD ( increase slot size of thruster or FSD by 1 at cost to optional internal; Cobrs III would drop a 4 slot to a 3 slot to give a +1 to the respective internal. Always off of one of the larger blocks.)

If you already have the materials , you don't need them do you ?
Try to think of it as a "here, have this if you need it"
after all ...... If you do a Mission and your Materials are full you can't get the material reward then either
It's just another way of helping the player have materials when they need them.

Yes, I did a fair bit of looting megaships and installations on stream and didn't notice increased drops for those locations.
Well I expect that you would trade all your grade 4 and 5 mats down as much as possible to grade 1, 2 and 3 so they were completely full before taking part, and it's just mats, it's not a reward per-se from the event, it's just mats, so once you are completely full it doesn't matter, or you could spend them on upgrading stuff, up to you, but however you look at it, it's just mats and not that important. They just removed a huge part of what people were calling "grind" from the game and here you are complaining they did it? Seems bizarre to me.
Great to see bugs and issues fixed... but still no word on shadow flicker fix !
Am I understanding correctly, the regulator will now be removed from mission rewards ?
P.S. I will have to remove the poster from the entrance to the ship. "Did you remember to take the regulator out of the power plant?"
I wonder if the insurance payment for Type-8 will also be in Arx?
It doesn't say if it will be removed from mission rewards, but "recipe" in this case, stands for the suit upgrades from level 1 to 5, which is the only thing that uses the power regulator aside from sticking it into a reactor housing.
I have 4 suits fully made and I'm aware of this. I think the dominator 3 to 4 had 15 regulators and 4 to 5 had 25. Unless I'm forgetting. So I stole these regulators from any settlement where I could.
The best way to steal regulators was from broken Sidewinders, there could be 2 of them.
