combat

Here's how I think the combat system should have been and still have the gene mod system. Like JPOG dinosaurs can have hit and run combat along with the duels we currently have. Each species still has the base defense, attack, and resilience stats, but they also have a base hit points value like...

I posted this on Reddit but didn’t get a reply, so thought I would post it here as well: There have been a few highly-requested changes, such as increasing the herbivores’ combat stats so they are closer to the carnivores, or changing allosaurus so it’s not the strongest non-hybrid carnivore...

This may not be the best thing but this could be so extremely simple and would not require much coding or having to redo whole sections. The biggest issue for newbies and one of the main roadblocks and a major catalyst for quitting the game is combat. The training difficulty goes from 0 to 100...

Elite 3.x Beyond suggestions These are some of my thoughts regarding the state of Beyond and some simple improvements to make it flow better and deepen the immersion. I’ve been playing for a number of years now and I’m sure with the combined community suggestions we can achieve a truly great...

In the half year I've owned this game, I've received two 200cr bounties, for my NPC fighter firing at a station because its target vessel was moving and because my anaconda got a bounty for one of its lasers slipping and firing at an innocent guy, respectively. This is very annoying since it...

The drag munitions change did do some work to reduce permaboosting, but it went about it the wrong way; by creating a highly specific and limited solution to a systemic issue within the game, i.e. the current boost system and its attendant issues. However, systemic issues require systemic...

I recently started last week (so you'll see me on here alot sorry in advance) and because of void opals I have more money than I know what to do. I purchased a FDL all A grade core. But money does not buy experience or skill. So if you guys could help me with a proper PVE build (I dont want...

Heres what im working with https://s.orbis.zone/2h0z im thinkin shield biweave high resistance so it comes back quik and long range beams too lure them in burst overcharged to shred them when they get close and lots of limpets to pick up those mats any tips? What would you do to impove this...

When completing trade or other types of wing missions I think it would be good if I could make use of the hired crew or hire npcs to take along as part of the wing. They could use my spare engineered ships or have access to their own grades of ships for differing costs. They could be cast as...

Hi guys , its Vampire .. I would like to tell you guys about a major fundamental flaw in the game regarding combat rank. When it comes to combat , you have three different types. Most people think there is two but how I see it in this game there are three. The first one is when a commander...

Hello CMDRS, How is everyone. I am looking for comrades and enemies alike. I play these hours often but either dont instance with players or am in a bad spot. Will Travel. Will Fight. Will learn. Am part of a group who is chaotic good, so i dont gank or grief, but if you need an ally to fight...

My goal here is to start a thread that is just a persistent outlet for all positive reflections on your experiences playing elite dangerous. We have plenty of forumss focused on improving, or complaining about, existing game play elements. Well how about a forum dedicated to strictly to...

Here is an idea.....I think it would be cool if you could have pre-set wing formations, here is how the mechanism could work There could be a Wing Formation Module which would work on synchronising position of ships in the wing based on some predetermined layout ie: 1. Wing formation shapes...

With the introduction of Squadrons, we now have a clan/guild system where many Squadrons have some form of ethos that their community follows. Some Squadrons are Exploration based, some Xeno Hunters, some Traders, some Miners, some are Pirates, and some are Lawful combat pilots (protectors), and...

Ok, so I understand that Engineering and Guardian based/influenced builds are part of the game. But why is it SO hard to find combinations with decent jump ranges, weapons, mining, and repair/limpet loadouts which are NOT engineered or guardian influenced? Some of us either do not want or, for...

I'm in a fully kitted out and combat engineered Corvette, and these Spec Ops wings are absolutely wrecking me. Endless SCBs, sniper-like Rail Guns with shield breach, seemingly bottomless shields and hull... I'm spending most of my MultiCannon ammo on just these 4 ships that spawn, and by that...

Hey guys I'm here today with the final of the Alliance ships. Whats weird is this was the first yet it was the last one I went over. Hopefully you all found this video enjoyable and useful. Please tell me down below in the youtube comments what you think of my build and what you do with yours...

I just got swarmed by the full spec ops wing in a CZ. I didn’t stick around for long. They burned through my ~1.5K MJ shields in about 10 seconds. It also looked like they were using some kind of modified beam laser or experimental effect. Has anyone else noticed this? What weapons and/or...

I have a wish that would make life a lot easier;) How about the possibility to activate the fire group depending on the mode? Example: Fire group A & B only in explorer mode, fire group B & C only in combat mode. With the fire groups one would only have to choose whether the group A should...

If you look at it in comparison to pretty much every activity in Elite, from doing exploration, general mission running, hauling cargo, mining, combat.... if you then look at in terms of how much materials/data you can get, and how much credits you can get, all of them have at least something...

So, now that the bubble has been attacked for the first time since the release of the new conflict zones, i thought i would go and check out the new conflict zones in a well modified Krait 2 with guardian weapons and... i was disappointed again, met with a very unbalanced and pretty much...

Hello all, I am in need of recommendations for a medium sized combat ship. Money isn't an issue, please share away. Yes I already know about the vulture, I'm just hoping to get a lot of variety in this thread for ideas of my own. Thanks and 07 commanders.

At the moment the ship always reverts to Combat mode when signing in. As an Explorer with no weapons fitted, I don't need Combat mode and would prefer my ship to load always in Analysis mode if possible. Could the programmers change this behaviour to remember the mode which was active when the...

Limpets as currently implemented are a vital mechanic for effective completion of game missions. As currently implemented, only a few limpet types are necessary on a regular basis. Other limpet types are not as critical and are widely ignored because of the disproportionate load they put on ship...

The "Quality of Life" Adjustment That's Not Even on the Roadmap, even as Thargoids Loom Larger TL;DR: Having now seen some of the coming AX Conflict Zones, the implementation of these sites annoys me even more than the already exasperating Thargoid implementation. And what the evolution of this...

T10 needs to have something special as it was designed as an anti thargoid ship. Either allow it to have 4 guardian and 2 ax weapons, or give it cost resistance and a hull value boost. In fact give it all three Allow it to be the ship which can carry ax for anti scout, and 4 guardian weapons...

The fix for menu combat logging (abusing the 15 second timer.)... is simple. Reset the timer to 15 seconds upon taking damage. If you are continuously ANY taking damage, your timer will remain at 15 seconds. This includes, but not limited to: -Any incoming player damage. -Any incoming NPC...

Currently most weapons have a yellow point when you can (possibly) fire them and a red cross when you can't. There are a couple of problems with this. 1. Slow firing weapons like plasma accelerators don't tell you when they are still between shots, only when they are reloading the...

Now imagine this. Thargoid hive ships have been discovered within human occupied space. The hive ship is absolutely massive, 4-5 stations big and attacking the exterior does nothing. To destroy it you have to fly inside the hive ship through passages and only a small ship can fit. Once inside...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZfpHdQabgc&t=1s This one was a close scrap, we nearly died! The story goes that I was looking to help someone kill a Thargoid Cyclops and I eventually found him! His name was CMDR Scotia47X. We were eventually joined by another commander, and his name was...

Hey guys, I'm back with another ship building guide! Today we have the Challenger. This a fun ship I use for PVE and PVP. This a common build you find for this ship as well. I personally go with the daka build on it, but you can do as you please. Hopefully you guys enjoy the video and tell me in...

Just thought I would show off some of my bounty hunting kills in a Cobra MkIII now that I've gotten the PC version of Elite (was previously PS4)! I love the PC version, btw! Everything runs so smoothly! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=470s9kRHAPI

Ok, so I just bought a chieftain. I only had 22 mil, not counting my aspX cuz I don’t want to sell it. So I’m looking for some good builds for my new chieftain. I’m not great at outfiting for combat at all. I just threw a bunch of burst lasers on it and a Hull reinforcement package. So if anyone...

I'm sure by now everyone has seen or heard the 2.8% figure on board flipping. As The Yamiks said in his video and in streams we kinda have to take FDEV's word for it because we don't have access to the data. To good naturedly have a lil fun I thought it would be fun to give them a little ribbing...

No cheats, exploits, nor macros involved. Just feed your favorite NPC (non-player cyborg) concubine/janitor 10% of your gross income and you'll never have to deal with PvE combat again. Apologies for the sloppy camera work, I was eating a plate of French toast while Alynna (affectionately known...

Is's obvious ED is going to do this change regardless of we like it or not, so, I am not going to address that as it's pointless. But, I have an idea, like it or hate it-I don't care, but I figured I'll put this out here to discuss. Change the Intermediate Discovery scanner to do what the...

WHERE WE STARTED: I am CMDR Jayce Reveur, founder of the CESS and GalCom. For those of you who are not aware, CESS (Cone Expedition Support Service) was a community project aimed at gathering as many of the players interested in taking part in the Cone expedition in the one place. This allowed...

Hello Frontier Development could you do us a solid and remove the "target will be available from [x time- y time]" please this is really unnecessary, i rather making the target difficult to kill than be wasting time; specially for players that don't have 5 hours to play everyday most of us play...

Greetings Commanders, and welcome to the Cone Expedition Support Services. A Cavaliers Le Chardon and Prismatic Impirium community initiative. Although the expedition out to the permit locked zone is an exciting prospect, it is not one that everyone is ready for or willing to commit to for an...
