Seem to remember the T7 having a relatively large fuel tank, resulting in longer range without refueling than other ships. A niche benefit but was useful for a CG or two where the nearer supply sources dried up quickly.

The superweapon will now undergo a prolonged period of performance optimizations. It is feared that console Thargoids may be impervious to these improvements.

Beware - unless you’re careful with your FSS bindings, you could get headlook hacked. The FSS also works better on optical computers.

I’d buy it.

Imagine you’re married to a beautiful woman, but she’s always sleeping around. Your marriage certificate is the NFT.

Low grade materials could be made more useful by tweaking the material traders. Instead of 6:1 at all levels. G1 > G2 - 2:1 G2 > G3 - 3:1 G3 > G4 - 4:1 G4 > G5 - 5:1

We’re talking super difficult changes here. Think of the bugs a ‘1-click left of 0 = max’ UI change could introduce. ;)

Given that mass and distance of the system bodies are known, I’d suspect that FD are calculating ‘gravitational force’ in the usual way G=M/r2 for the applicable bodies based on your location, and then using the max value as a factor to determine the max speed possible against the max possible...

Earning by other means such as exploration data is a great idea. The simplest other idea would be to randomize the mission rewards. It seems like specific material rewards are tied to specific mission types. Just randomize it - if a mission can reward a specific G4 or G5 at the moment, just...

Hmm, is an Anaconda fitted out for combat really the same ship as when it’s fitted out for passengers or trading. A multi-role ship is only really a multi-role if it’s compromised on its outfitting. E.g. A general purpose Python fitted with a Pax Cabin, Cargo Hold, Collector Limpets, KWS, Wake...

The wreckage bits look similar to the stuff found in the old USS wreckage sites: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/23810-prototype-wrecks-wip.264118/

The skybox is already selective about which stars get rendered. This just modifies the selection of which stars to render.

The existence of the cubes is baked in but the way the skybox renders stars is not. A relatively simple algorithm to compare neighbouring cubes and smooth how many stars get rendered towards the boundaries would go some way to covering up the bones of the system. I.e render more towards the side...

If this is the FD official pizzeria, there’s only Focaccia bread on the menu.

This is from 5 years ago featuring integrated flight sim and VR/AR Source: https://youtu.be/9Gue-r1Vy0g

It’s not been simple and it’s not finished by any means but definitely doable. Source: https://youtu.be/syfCeXrRggs We’re aiming at realistic simulation of the Earth as it is today, but the toolset could be applied to a future Earth setting by replacing the procedural buildings, and alternate...

What we wanted: Mos Eisley What we got: Hives of scan and pillaging

Oolite: Dangerous for sure. ED2, I’ll pass.

The OP could of been a contender but looses out in the #1 grammar offense stakes ;)

Adders are red Mambas are blue Odyssey sucks Not a haiku

FD don’t do systemic design. Nearly everything they add is self-contained with little linkage to the rest of the game. Powerplay as a parallel but unlinked control layer to the BGS Wing missions as a new separate category instead of making all missions wing available. CQC Materials as an...

I got a long-sleeve custom one through the store a few years back. Poor quality to be honest.

If FD embraced their publisher role and did EDII as a platform, sure. FD can focus on the sim aspects of the galaxy and flight model etc., and let 3rd party developers create gameplay within it.

The universe doesn’t end with a bang, it just fades away…

Still the FSS

Serious question: Can you make a proper pizza in 0g?

You want realism? The Evergreen will likely be impounded for 10 years plus while the lawyers haggle about who should pay. Sure, let’s do that. Elite Dangerous: Small Claims Court

Did you expect any better? Wing missions told us everything we need to know about FD’s approach years ago.

Seems like the OP wants a risk free experience. Combat pilots risk losing their bounties and combat bonds until they disengage and trade them in. Explorers risk losing all their data (sometime months worth) until they reach port and trade it in. Mission runners risk failure penalties, loss of...

You can tell that DB isn’t exactly hands-on with his products ;)

Yup, 2.0 was the high point.

OP says it’s been 6 years as if that’s a good thing. If FD had a real vision for their game, there would’ve been fully featured paid DLCs every year that not only deepened and broadened the game but actually built on what was already there. Instead we get barebones MVP addons that barely...

Those milestones are a bit middle of the road

Obligatory post You know what I want ;)

A minor faction is any form of organization that could potentially rule. Historical and current examples include: Political parties Religions Trade Unions Criminal Organizations Royal Families Armed Forces / Militias Corporations many many more

That’s why I mentioned PvP crimes. There are many PvP activities that aren’t crimes and wouldn’t incur PvP bounties: Bounty Hunting CZs Powerplay etc. Then throw in anarchies where nothing is a crime and you effectively create those ‘hives of scum and villainy ‘ where you better be careful or...

Wouldn’t it be better to go beyond the roll call idea and actually implement it as a genuine Ship Graveyard. Take the ship most flown by each CMDR with the name, paint job, decals, etc. that they used and add it to the debris field that is the graveyard. Make them indestructible, but scannable...

Never had these issues with the ADS - just saying ;)
