assist

The APEX addition to the game has been teasing players with the obvious feasibility and the near achievement of adding two features they have been waiting for. Here are links to recent threads that can be found on this forum. 1) There can/should be a more complex autopilot system...

Greetings commanders. First, I wanted to say that I am not a physicist. I might be wrong in some cases but lets not forget this is a game. Here is my proposition to shorten the time spent on supercruise with a mini game or maybe a game mechanic. Excuse my drawing skills, this is all I can do...

I've done it a few times to be sure. If I turn on the supercruise assist and max-speed my ship then when I am nearly there I activate the assist by putting speed onto 75%. My speed can be 5c or something and the assist will drop out safely at my destination. Is this a bug? I'm now able to drop...

It's funny to watch it try and cope with certain things. Like approaching a moving RES site. It seems to get a little confused that it's moving, but doesn't steer fast enough to follow it, and then just face plants you in to the ring. :ROFLMAO: And it obviously doesn't bother going around...

For countless generations, once a year, clan tradition dictates we gather together for the annual Wilderness Duck Hunt. The custom is alive and well in the year 3304... This one's for Grandpa. o7 https://youtu.be/wQTZstDBMW4

u/an_angry_gippo (on reddit) posted a great concept of radio chatter in a conflict zone that really adds to the sense of immersion. This inspired me to share an inside look into the highly professional comms chatter between members of the Screaming Eagles during a recent wing fight... Link to...

A few weeks ago, Commander Yamato2012 posted his combat footage from the PvP Hub finals. It was an incredible piece of flying that reminded me that I still have a long way to go in order to get the most out of my ship. Hence, I did what every good pilot does: I try to blatantly rip off his...

Several months ago, in my first contact with Thargoids, they attacked my Diamondback Explorer after a misunderstanding of their (in hindsight) rather obvious threat display-- we assumed it was their way of showing off their newly-purchased red lighting effects. In any case, in the weeks...

It seems that in spite of the Devs' best efforts to the contrary, PvE in the game often descents into a very "turrets in space" style of gameplay, where 2 ships just slug fire at each other while trying to shield tank the damage taken. I believe that this has a deterimental impact on the overall...

So I bought Elite under the recommendation of one of my friends, about mid February. Initially, I thought I'd only play it for a bit so I gave it a try but after a month of owning the game, I'm proud to say that this is one of my favourite games of all time. I've racked up 110hrs and own a fully...

On February 17, 3304, the Momoirent System came under attack by a squadron of the Screaming Eagles piracy group. Over the course of several hours, Traders from all over the bubble found themselves at the mercy of these intrepid pirates. All seemed lost until the Saviour of Momoirent appeared...

To add some fun and another reason to get close to planetary bodies (other then and on top of appreciating the beauty) I propose adding another "layer" around moons and planets, similar to the glide vector when landing. This new outer layer would, with some skill, allow us to use gravity...

I have hear a lot about people toggling flight assist on and off during combat. Some even purport to fly FAOFF all the time ( which I'm not sure I believe ) I have tried FAOFF mid combat and while it does indeed let me turn and face an agressor while travelling in the same direction I don't...

Not long ago, the Screaming Eagles were offered a "Letter of Marque" from an Imperial group to get involved in a bit of Powerplay activity. Tonight, we took our first engagement as I joined two of their members for a fun skirmish in the Miroman system. Great fight to pilots on all sides. o7...

Hi, Please, we really need an option to enable "Relative Mouse Control" in "Flight Assist Off". Yes, it has already been requested and still not added to the game 3 years later, but it's an absolute necessity. Simple : Flight Assist On : Normal (Actual) Mouse Control Flight Assist Off ...
