cargo

Elite Dangerous' update cycle and game balance is one of the most neurotic in gaming. They either fail to notice a glitch that causes extremely unbalanced payouts/exploitable payouts, or otherwise take a new fun, rewarding and enjoyable game mechanic and nerf it until it's no longer fun or...

Please an alternative to a Python. Something that carries 200+ (preferably 250) but is lightweight, and quick. Maybe its internals are 1-2-3-7 and so you can choose what to put in the 7 Cargo... or maybe Fuel Scoop... whatever it is you are a one trick pony. But you are a quick and...

Currently, Pirates will try to loot valuable cargo from your ship if it has a high enough value. That value floor is pretty low, with responses from holding certain low value items along the lines of, "You're not worth my time", and responses from holding only Limpets being the same as responses...

I'll start by saying I'm a huge Elite and FDev fan. That said, I believe some thought needs to be put into cargo mission payouts for those of us with large ships. For example, why is it so hard to find missions that pay 100 times more than the beginner missions, when I have worked my way up to...

I am sure some of you have noticed that empty cargo racks now have mass and will affect handling and jump range. This is only since the latest patch (3.0) but there wasn't anything in the patch notes. Could FDev please confirm if this was intended and why?

Problem #1: I found an ancient artifact and rebel transmissions. Since they're illegal, the first thing that comes to mind is to sell them at the black market, but that significantly cuts the profits. Are there specific buyers for these objects? Problem #2 I keep finding "materials" near space...

The idea is to use cargo modules or special ship armory modules to store extra ammunition for your weapon on your ship. Because if I can reload my weapon on station, then why I cannot buy some extra to carry it with me to the battle. Synthesis menu allows us to create and reload our guns...

Or is there a purpose? [EDIT: I see now, it was engineering commodities - before I started playing again this January...] Every mission running ship now has to waste a slot for an otherwise useless 4 ton cargo rack. On ships with few slots, that puts a serious crimp in your fitting...

Slightly larger than the fighter with a 8-ton cargo capacity, it's functions as a Cargo Carrier, fuel transfer, mining collection aswell as acting shuttle for pilots from large vessels to outposts. Should be launched similarly to the fighter And can be piloted by both Npc and pc vessels. I think...

My first introduction to smuggling in Elite Dangerous was the Robigo Mines slave runs. At the time I was using my cobra mkiii to ship 24T of slaves back to the bubble as fast as possible while avoiding NPCs at almost every star and speeding away as fast as an unmodified cobra mkiii could when I...

There's a problem with relative ship design and performance in Elite: Dangerous. Namely, the best cargo ships are not the ships -designed- to be the best cargo ships. Likewise, the best passenger ships are definitely not the ships -designed- to be the best passenger ships. That a Python is...

Would this be a 2018 fix with regards the passenger missions: Issue:... Able to choose passenger missions "WITHOUT" cargo, so we don't have to have a cargo bay at all, we can opt out of the cargo if we want to, this would make the delivery system of dropping off passengers quicker instead...

Cargo rewards are a real pain in the derriere, especially if you have little or no cargo capacity. No-one really appreciates cargo rewards in my PERSONAL view (no "flame" please, it's my personal opinion) and more credits would be much more appreciated instead. It is tedious in the extreme when...

Last night, I did the Robigo Run for the first time in almost a year and a half! I love smuggling. I have tons of money and all the ships in the game, yet all I wanna do is smuggle. I took about a year and a half off from Elite (I love the game and was having fun, but just got too busy in...

It kind of makes sense for there to be scrap as a reward for helping a wrecked station, but I came to haul passengers, not cargo. Thus, I have no cargo holds equipped. It doesn't help that outfitting is extremely limited onboard the rescue ship. Either give us cargo space in the stations or...

Hello forum, just watched the video about Thargons and hope that the idea can be extended to allow cargo to last longer without causing the performance issues that it used to, or currently does. I.e. an undisturbed blob of discarded cargo can just be one network 'thing' which then splits off...

Yes there are loads of threads asking for it but my reason is simple: I want it removed because if I fly a Sidey with a SRV instead of any Cargo racks some missions with cargo cannot be turned in (They don't appear on the mission board until I fit a cargo rack). Also commodities are equally as...

G'day, Ive read (and posted) other posts about research limpet issues but I have just encountered a new one. This time the limpet was collected in the cargo bay successfully, a big blue message popped up telling me that the cargo had been acquired. Success! 2.3.03 has fixed the problem... BUT...

Hi there, what you thinking about a new Community Goal about bigger Corrosive Resisten Cargo Racks. I think Palin needs the money for new Sience with all that Thargoid Stuff, he could get it eazy money by selling bigger Racks. Lore friendly and not that Big of a Work for Fdev cause i thing...
