combat

Picture "Galactic Gladiator Tournaments" that were hosted by different systems across the galaxy where the fiercest combat pilots engage in battle, and any other commander could view the battles from the side lines. The battles would be in actual arenas at actual locations within the main game...

So I've been playing ED for about a week now, picked it up for 20 quid and been loving it, made a bit of money got a few ships explored a bit. Since the update the money has dried up and decided to become a bounty hunter or do some massacre missions for some money. Looked online to see what the...

Hey, guys I have an alliance chieftain equipped with 3 small pulse lasers, a medium pulse laser and 2 engineer large multicannons. I have pulse lasers because my power plant sucks (6C) and it doesn't overheat with them. Do you have any suggestions for the hardpoints i should use? Let me know 🙂

A regular complaint justifiably levelled at ED is that there is no 'meaningful' PvP, it has no effect on the BGS, combat ranks etc. It cannot, because the idea of effecting change via PvP is incompatable with the instancing filters (blocklist and solo/group modes). The aim of this proposal is to...

I got some friends that are burned out from trade and want to do some combat. I don't mind but I want to earn some $ while doing it. We did some wing assassin missions, they're fun but I have a goal I want to reach so I was just wondering what the community suggest for money making while killing...

The current payouts for the CZs and fir hunting Thargoid Scouts are far too low for the amount of risk and investment that these activities require. Simply put, for an activity to make sense in the context of the universe, the payouts for it should be easily in excess of the amount of...

Hi, as the title states I'm looking for advice on what the current best federal corvette combat build would be for bounty hunting npcs. I haven't been on for probably about 8 months or longer so I'm just curious what the new beat builds May be. Also I'm playing on Xbox so I'm not sure how much...

Didn't find a related post on the Forums so I started a new one. I am aware that a lot of people are unhappy with the nerving and the inbalance in weaponry and on top of that overall with the combat system. And the point that Combat was the top priority developement task in the past years for...

Combat zones suck. We all know it. From a design standpoint, they are a pointless Horde Mode killing floor with zero consequence and zero persistence. Ostensibly, combat zones manifest, grow and disappear organically as battles for space supremacy over a planet grow and evolve. This is, in...

Alright, so I just bought my Chieftain and want to mess around with the options for hardpoint loadouts. I would like to hear what are you guys trying out? I am currently running with 1 Large Beam Laser 1 Large Multicannon 1 Medium Beam Laser 3 small multicannons I tried to go for a 1/2...

I already have an anaconda and a python and such but I never actually owned a vulture and everyone seems to love it. reason I skipped it was the lack of power but now with the engineers that can be avoided. https://eddp.co/u/YccoGbul

I currently have an A-Rated FAS. I really enjoy it as a full on fighter. It was the first real expensive ship I ever bought and I used it extensively for bounty hunting and undermining in power play. I was thinking about selling it and upgrading to a Fer-de-Lance, but I worry it wont feel like...

Once I saved up about 250 million, I bought and equipped a python for appox., 150 million. While it is a nice ship, I have to admit I am a little disappointed. I expected it to fare better in combat, for the money I spent. I saw all the warnings on YouTube that the python doesn't pitch fast...

As it stands the latest station to be attacked sits less then 150 LY from the edge of human colonized space (129.66 LY from my measurement site) and each attack site appears to be exponentially further from the pleadies then the previous. Furthermore it is likely that this Incursions is set...

I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring for suggestions to make Elite a better experience for players in both Open and Solo play environments by adding an element of player agency to the death mechanic that can at times be, in my experience, extremely unforgiving and cavalier with a players time...
