Greetings commanders. Thanks for clicking my post, hopefully Fdev may happen across this post and hear my cries and the cries of many others who were late to the party. Introduction: I started playing Elite last year around the start of 2017 and have heard of the CobraMkIV. I am an avid lover...

I initially thought this was a bug and i asked the frontier help account on twitter once i realized that the entirely new, more dangerous thargoid scouts... do not provide any bigger combat bonds at all... and this is intended behavior. Seriously?? The arguably easy thargoid scouts of before...

Please please please can we look into adding player faction decals to the livery? It should be fairly easy, there could be a page for submitting designs for review. I think this would be a small thing that goes a long way towards cementing the player involvement in the galactic story. If it's a...

So, I had an idea that I think would be awesome addition to the game as well as increase the immersion too. How would you feel about allowing players to have their own business in the game like space fedex. The concept would allow a player the option to either use in game service to transfer...

Greetings Commanders. I just watched the latest D2EA youtube video, and The Yamiks latest, as well as ObsidianAnts. (All are great for different reasons, I recommend checking them out! 18+ for language and chatter content) I am part of a group of three, we call ourselves Deltamob, and fly in the...

While I admit that I, as well as everyone else, has been giving FD a sandwich in terms of reception for a number of mechanics newly implemented in Beyond, I would like to take a moment to do the reverse. There is no other game that comes close to achieving the sense of scale that Elite...

To the game designers at FDev: After the disabling of the passenger distance multiplier and skimmer mission, the community has been kind of...how do you say... annoyed? I feel like a lot of the vitriol can be quelled (at least slightly) by a little bit more clarity in a few aspects of your...

They are killing every way in the game to earn fast CR, why is that? Are they giving up because they know this game cannot compete with Star Citizen, so they are making people leave the game and then they can finally shutdown servers for good?

I know there is already exists post like this, but still... ATM we have: Prospector limpet Collector limpet Hatchbreaker limpet Recon limpet Fuel transfer limpet Decontamination limpet Repair limpet Research limpet And for some of those limpets even have engineering blueprints. So i have a...

In my experience playing this game for 2.5 years this are the issues that i noticed the most in elite, i'll just mention the top 3 and possible solutions. 3 THE CAREERS/WHAT TO DO As of today 01/09/18 if a new player is aiming to get conda(lets not kid ourselfs, this is the first objective for...

So, I have only been playing long enough to get truly addicted and buy gear that is likely to be more dangerous to me than anyone else. Elite explorer, pampers level combat. I've largely been to occupied with some heinous grind to get in cg's or they relate to something I find questionable (for...

This is unacceptable. Why is it that FDev always prioritizes payouts and exploits, but broken stuff like this gets ignored!? In almost every station I go, its been nigh unto impossible to find a decent set of cargo missions (I've been running cargo as my job since 2.3 hit). I tried passenger...

I've just noticed that the right mouse button (and mouse y) fails to work in the Galaxy Map. Before I could hold the right mouse button and browse up and down while moving the mouse, but now its not playing ball. Is there a key binding for this? or some bizarre options override that I've...

Hello Commanders, have any of you wanted a faster and easier way to view the systems? With 2D Galaxy Map you no longer have to stop in place and find your location or route. Anyone can navigate the elite galaxy map through another screen or separate device such as a phone or tablet. I hope you...

Hypothetical speed of the Hyperspace drive. Tl;dr at the bottom: I was thinking about how the distance from Earth to the Milky Way's galactic center is about 8,330 Parsecs(About 27,000 Lightyears). With this in mind, I was also thinking about how the top speed of Supercruise is 2,000c, which...

Plenty of new pilots are jumping onboard during Beta, and many more no doubt will join in Beta 2; most, if not all, are hooked on ED's flexible gameplay within the first few days. So I propose a free-trial to pull in cautious-yet-interested-players, with the following restrictions: Only...

Humanity’s infinitesimally tiny influence on the universe, or why we haven’t met any aliens yet http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/169985-humanitys-infinitesimally-tiny-influence-on-the-universe-or-why-we-havent-met-any-aliens-yet ' the blue dot represents the bubble of humanity’s influence in...

"This 3D cube is so special. 80,000 stars of the Milky Way was etched using a laser. The data is exact and provided from Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory after some debates between the Japanese government and manufacturer company because of the usage of observatory data. The galaxy is...

What is the minimum distance that jumps work at, and what makes one system into 2 systems? the Alpha Centauri system is as good an example as any. Alpha and Beta are about as far apart as Sol and the orbit of Saturn, both may have planets, and a nice Legrange point in the middle. proxima...
