    Combat Pilots Unite! FDEV Listen Please!

    I'd like to comment about the recent updates speaking on behalf of the old school combat/pvp crowd. As a combat focused pilot I have placed this game on the shelf for the better part of 2 years now. More specifically, as an Open Play PVP pilot...I feel in the current minority...although this...

    Combat mining "lazers"

    Went out to go core mining, with two seismic launchers, two abrasion blasters, and a mining laser. Got scanned by a rat. Then I noticed some ships firing at it. For grins, I practiced fixed-weapons targeting on it with my mining laser. And, scored a 430,000 cr bounty reward :D

    What's up with Spec Ops sometimes exclusively aggroing the player for an entire CZ?

    I spend most of my time in ED playing Conflict Zones and since the last update I've noticed that sometimes the entire Spec Ops wing will aggro me immediately I get within 3-4km. If I attempt to reset aggro by running away, they'll aggro me again en masse as soon as I'm back in range. This is...

    [Twax]. Let's gain at least a single controlled system.

    I created a new squadron named "Thargoid War Combat Squadron" shorted as "Twax". The idea is, learn and find the way to recover at least one single controlled system, without ports where to repair/refuel/refill, only with the support of other players. Maybe we would need several wings playing...

    (UI/HUD/Module) Combat Support Systems

    PREMISE While I do enjoy ED for the trading/rescue aspect, every time I get into combat, the UI/HUD is a pain, at best, to keep a half-decent situational awareness of what's going on. There is no easy/center way to see my speed, range to the enemy, effective weapon ranges, gimbal limits...

    Combat QOL: Keybind for Firing Mode Switch

    Chaffing is egregious in its ability to neuter non-fixed weaponry. There's often long periods of combat where one is forced to change to forward-fire and has to frequently change fire modes. Currently, it's not at all feasible to do so on the fly in the midst of combat flight and management of...

    System authority telling me to stow my weapons while bounty hunting

    Recently I was bounty hunting near LHS 20 Ohm City High Res and I was firing my weapons at a baddie when a message pops up going along the lines of: “(System Authority) We are your friends, not your enemies. Stow your weapons immediately.” The thing is, I am allied with the factions there and I...

    Allow station combat in space and planet stations

    one way to really affect the faction of a station would be to attack and kill people at the stations and planet stations. some of the station on planets are vast, i can imagine loads of good game play there including bringing in the metropol police units if you manage to stay alive long enough...

    Sandbox Suggestions

    When the Dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles are turned to infinite lifespan, can the constant dominance decrease as well as the “aging” and decoloring be turned off please? I’m tired of having to constantly remake my Spinosaurus or Indoraptor because they have lost their color. Or when I decide...

    Ships Top 10 Combat Ships!

    Another day, another article. Today I’ve covered the top 10 combat ships in my opinion! I’ve tried to cover combat ships available across all budgets, and written a small paragraph on why a commander may prefer flying with that option. I was lucky enough to have an Anaconda as my first combat...

    Better Mines

    This is a suggestion for an overhaul of mines. Currently, these weapons are interesting and can be fun to use, but have no real value in combat and only truly serve as toys. Some players are skilled enough to lob mines into ships, and traders occasionally use mines, but these are rare...

    Overhauled fuel store

    Currently there is an elaborate fuel store that serves no purpose when the normal fuel button exists. I suggest the addition of new fuel types to the game. I am not sure how this would be justified scientifically, but I would imagine it would be something along the lines of adding other elements...

    Intraspecific Combat Damages

    So, in Real life, animals fight in Intraspecific (between the same species) combat. For Mates, or for Territory. But, most of the time, they don't induce major wounds. Some animals might accidentally kill another, or more commonly surface damage, but other species don't even touch eachother, and...

    Enemies hitting so hard...

    IDK if that only me but sometimes I try doing some on-foot mission and mostly I'm dead in few seconds... Number of respawn enemies is insane - they dropping like 5-6 from small ship and hitting so hard that even if I manage to take down at least few, someone put me down anyway... I try doing...

    Attacks by NPCs and proposed solutions

    I play mainly as a transporter and explorer and find it very frustrating to be attacked continuously by NPCs, even three or four times during a single journey and multiple times in the same game session. I point out that I am not a shooter lover (I also believe that on Elite Dangerous the...

    Suggested feature: NPC using SRVs for combat, defense or running away

    I just wanted to add my two cents for... well, gameplay fun. I know there are already many, but I haven't heard much about this type: NPCs SRV combat. After lots of combat missions, being anihilate missions or murdering missions for example, I'm missing something obvious: that NPCs can drive...

    Suggestion... Fallen enemy's materials

    Two quick suggestions for combat in foot. 1. I think it would be logical to get materials for suits and weapons from the dead enemy and give a reason to take the risk. 2. Please can we have the times 3 on material finds to match ship materials

    Favoured Assault Rifle?

    Trying to decide which of the 3 rifles I should focus on. I loved the AR-50 during alpha, but haven't tried it much yet in live. The Aphelion is really nice for shields, but its woes against armor are something of a killer for me. And the Oppressor... I want to love it, but it feels so weak in...

    Question. Re: AX conflict zones and conflict zones.

    When in ax conflict zones and there is another player (*not in a wing) do they get paid for also blasting the interceptors? or is it last shot gets the credits? Vs Scouts, is it last shot gets paid? Regular conflict zones is it last shot vs ships. Tl/dr conflict zones how credits are...

    Have Some Friendlier Settlements

    Newcomer / Intro Interact With Hub Missions
