Guide / Tutorial UPDATED : List of Materials at DAV'S Hope(Pictorial)

I've just had my Krait blown out of the sky over Dav's Hope - trespassing alert when approaching and ship gone before I could get far enough away... I wasn't expecting that!

Didn't mind the ship so much, but the 10 million+ exploration data hurt...

Is this a new feature or did I miss a warning somewhere?

(yes, I checked the coordinates)

There should be no trespassing alert there.
It's an abandoned base.
I would suggest not carrying around that much data in the future.
 
It was bad planning, I'd intended to sell the data at the next stop - such is life :) (buy some Imperial friendship... )

i will go back in a 'cheaper' ship and see if the situation repeats, if it does I'll post a warning here.

Haha, that's how it goes in Elite.


Is it your first time there?
It's an abandoned base so a trespassing warning would be really odd.
 
I'd been there before, but that was when I had not been playing very long and have since reset my savegame (I went broke - happens to us all, all ok when I stopped playing in open - lower level NPC's) and the first visit was trouble free.

When I get back from my little exploration mission I'll go back again and see what happens... The loss of exploration data was my own fault as I should have gone to trade it in first, but Dav's Hope was safe.

Ok, I went back there today in a DBX (first time out in one - surprising little ship, I like it!) and landed, grabbed some resources then picked up the story / materials and left without any problems. Ticket sent to support to report what appears to be a bug :)

Thanks to all who replied.
 
Sometimes, this place has a few Naughty Little Cmdrs who hang around for the unsuspecting Cmdr, then just blow your ship or SRV away for reasons of Game play only know to them. (Davs Hope Police maybe, or protection against Davs Hope looting?).

Could it by any chance been this that blew you up, with a message to you of trespassing in the Txt msg box?

Just trying to think why else this may have happened, as others have said there is no 'No Trespassing 'at Dav's Supermarket

When I was there yesterday there was a 'patrol' of 2 ships continually circling the base (an Orca and Cobra) but they paid no attention to either ship or SRV, both from one of the local factions.

It seems that maybe I was just unlucky with the first visit and ED threw a wobbly at the time, hopefully support will be able to find out and let me know just what happened then...

Those are the NPC's they never bother you, just fly around. Where you in Open or a Private Group? if in Solo, that discounts the 'Cmdr' kill on you, possible in PG, but unlikely. In Open, you are likely (Unlucky) to be griefed at one of these 'Known' sites, if the Naughty Boys are there
 
Playing solo, as most of my time is spent exploring I usually go around with minimal or no weaponry (or cargo) and just enjoy the trip. The latest CG has me wondering if joining in might be fun, no problem in rebuys if I get shot from the sky :)

SOLO?, then we can discount another Cmdr killing you....Strange your incident is.

I am currently do the 'Supratech CG' in a weaponless T9 with 752 cargo. 3.5 mill per run. Not sure where i am in the 'League' now, but last night i was in top 10 cmdrs, bu it only had 90 participators at that stage.

Good Luck.
 
Frontier Support responded to my request and have replaced the lost data as well as the cost of rebuy of my Krait so I'm very happy with that!

Interesting that all of the High Tech stations I've visited since reading about the new CG are out of stock of the items needed to assist Herculean.... I'll just have to look further away :)

Wasp0 - sounds good with the T9, hope you stay near the top of the shop :)

Glad you got your Exploration Data back and Krait. FD Support are really good at doing that.

Try the other CG, although Microcontrollers have run out close to Fedmich, plenty of Robotics near by 1/2 jumps dependant on ship FSD. Don't forget to look at Planetary bases in your search, as these componants (Some of them) are mostly found on PB.

Good luck and may see you out in the black. If in Open, the 13th (Bad Boys) where around this morning (UK Time), only one or two and in Chieftain/Challengers/Crusader, (Who knows!), so easy to get away from.
 
Hi all,
Started a New Commander in a separate account so I can have a way for friends to play with me when they visit. My way of recruiting new players to maybe some day get a decent PG going for those of us that are not interested in the kill everything every time you see it mode called OPEN.
Anyway. D.D. Harriman has already been to Dav's Hope and got the data that should have locked the location into memory. That was before the last upgrade. James "Mac" McIntyer has collected almost a full load of the planetary materials and I have been double playing in Wing doing system Exploration and planetary salvage and a bit of bounty hunting to get him some CR.
Decided to do a slow trip to Dav's and have Mac pick up some of the rarer materials. Going to be 29 jumps with about 26 of the stops unexplored so we will arrive with a bunch of exploration data. Going to modify the end of the trip to get a stop to make a big sale.
Took a look at the system/planet using the DDH account and Dav's is no longer locked into the Navigation Data. No biggie, I can fly to coordinates again. BUT, now wonder what happened?? Did the update reset the data?? Is there a living bug that can spawn a killer even in SOLO??
 
1. There is the Mobius set of groups - elitepve.com (split into different groups as there were more than 20,000 in the original).

.

Ah Yes. Mobius. The PG that has been invaded and is now pretty much like playing in open. You meet another actual human player and you need to immediately set battle stations.
