You V The Weekend: 2.3 Forward Planning
- Thread starter Bran Tse Mallory
- Start date
Well, another major update about to drop and I am away working. Making some coins to drop in the FD Store later on.
I am really curious to see if Holo-Me will have any improvement after playing around with it in Beta. Also looking forward to see what ship tweaks will come with the new update.
Unfortunately, once I get home, I will only have 2 or 3 days off that will get gobbled up by real life responsibilities, then off to the next job for another 8 days, so no E: D for a while.
My only source of information will be the forums, by the time I get back, I would have fallen behind times and once again, I will be an E: D noob until I get the hang of the new features.
I envy the retired CMDRs who have all the time in the world to enjoy a major update.

Using so called exploits so I don't have to spend the next 5 years making enough cash for a sidewinder so I can spend my time actually doing stuff that interests me, like ship fitting and exploration.

By absolutely spamming the living poo poo out of skimmer/scanner missions, just like everybody else.
Duh!

Typical I'm not back from holiday until Monday! I didn't think 2.3 would be out so soon? Is it definitely dropping this weekend?

My Plan : Engineer-Mod a various set of Turrets to equip any Combat Ship to be ready for MultiPew as required
Other than that, I already fired 2 of my 3 hand-trained ELITE NPC "Non-Crews", since their envisioned "future purpose" as an actual Crew didn't materialize.
No point in having 3 SLF-Jockeys earning hundreds of Millions of Credits and additionally cutting away 30% of my entire BGS inputs (Bug-Reported) without hardly ever working for me and effectively being of very little use.

This weekend I will be getting my alioth rep to unlock Bill Turner for some Plasma Accelerator love on my Anaconda, once that's complete I'll be shooting things
Plans for 2.3 are grabbing a Dolphin and engineering the FSD then I'll be taking up long range tourism for a bit for both Federal rep and Exploration rank

In a rut with this game, just cant get the motivation to do anything right now, but its all gonna be cool when ME4 arrives. Thats just the distraction I need, and it keeps me away from here. Ill check in to see 2.3 but Im not holding my breath fer anything inspirational. Anyway, my salt aint needed here so...have a nice weekend cmdrs ^
I can't see news updates saying it is coming this weekend - maybe someone else can confirm/refute that?
If it is coming this weekend, then I will switch to plan B - waiting for the update to download over my slow internet connection :-(
[Update] Thanks for confirming there's no date yet, Bran.

You to Mr Verminstar, hope you enjoy ME4, I was never able to get into them for some reason.

Huge series fan here...this was inevitable regardless what I felt about this game...timing is merely convenient is all. Hoping 2.4 can inspire me more than 2.3 has but...meh whatever ^
Nope. 2.3 drops, starting a new CMDR - feels weird for me starting "mid-game" and only creating your face then.

I hate you.
My 2.3 preparations are coming along nicely. I've bought fresh sets of shield boosters from LYR space, stored them with Didi Vatermann, and farmed enough mats to comfortably rebuild ships which will be affected by the shield nerfs. Just yesterday I reached four weeks pledged to the Emperor and stockpiled IHammers to take advantage of the reduced thermal load on rails.
I still need to check which mats the sensor and surface scanner mods require and stockpile some.
But this weekend's main activity for me is continuing to engineer an Orca, which I'm hoping to make into my main exploration ship once the hull mass reduction goes live. As it takes shape I'm rather surprised and impressed with how viable of an AspX alternative the 2.3 Orca is. It's not quite on the same level as the AspX of course, but I've wanted to love the Orca for ages, so it's close enough for me.
Now Frontier just needs to release the metallic paint for it (better be gold) and I'll be set.

In preparation, i need credits, lots of credits, to get my battle cow....erm... whale... Beluga ready for multicrew combat. I also need quite a lot of engineering materials, but most of that is fairly simple (i think), and of course gathering materials for the Dolphin i plan on buying as soon as 2.3 lands.
So, short version, this weekend, credit grind. Hate grinding, but the clock is ticking, and i need a couple of hundred million.

That's a lot to get done in just one weekend Aunty. I'f you'd like I could moderate the forums for the next few days to give you and the others a chance to get ready for when 2.3 goes live...
What could possibly go wrong?

2.3 happens when it happens. I'm not waiting on it with baited breath, though I do plan to pick up a Dolphin when it drops.
After that, I'll have to see how much of an effect all the nerfs will have on my fleet and adjust accordingly. Then I'll worry about making my Holo-Me.
By chance, is there a height slider, so I can make a Holo-Mini-Me?
If not, this needs implemented prior to release.
Beyond that, I'm a fair distance away from any and everything, doing my own thing, and I'll likely continue doing that over the weekend.
