I am playing Elite since 2014 (Beta 2) and i still like it, even when i did everything in-game i still like to play and fly in my space ship around the moon or give a shot between a Jupiter and his ring with warp 2. Now i am sure - even in next ten or twenty years i would like to back to Elite...

There was a wild inf swing in eranin recently that resulted in a faction i used to support losing the largest starport in the system as well as control of the system. One of the faction supporters i was just chatting with said that if upnp is not enabled then you cant get into the bots instance...

I know some folks want to do them, so do them in private and open. Solo there should be none, fix the mission board before stopping flipping it is not our fault you have a bad mission board system.

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...

I dare to ask I wonder if there will be a new exploration ship for the final update of beyond. Actually i feel like the Anaconda and the Asp explorer are the only two real exploration ship in the game. Rumors said about the panther clipper incoming, but that shouldn't be an exploration ship...

I’m outfitting Conda for sightseeing adventure missions for some quick money and quick Explorer exps. I can easily find the sweet spot of mass/performance of most components (power plant, thruster, distributor, shield, etc) and engineering accordingly. But I can’t understand why I’m not...

Hello Commanders! I found a new Guardian Beacon in the Synuefe OF-E B45-4 system. Images:

Over the years, many have posted comments like "Atmospheric Landings is the one feature I want the most," and "Atmospheric Landings will likely be a paid expansion all by itself." But sitting here on my lunch break, I'm struggling to see how clouds, turbulence, and rain/snow effects are a...

Besides an SLF what's the point of all these cloned ships? Maybe I'm generalizing too much but I don't see enough of a difference to justify these new ships. SLF aren't even worth carrying from my point of view as they just get blown up instantly or sit unused taking up an optional slot while...

I went to go visit Mount Nerverest on Nervi 3A in the Nervi system. I can't find it. I remember seeing something about planetary rendering changes that removed large mountains. Has this happened to Mount Neverest?

Received an email today regarding reserving your squadron name. ...Just wondering, is the general consensus to name these squadrons the same as ones player group? Or something else entirely? Update Kindly received an email from Will F clarifying a question from a couple of Cmdr’s... Not...

Welcome one and all, today we join together for our mutual hate of this tedious and life wasting grind. Tell us your harrowing tales of how much of your precious life you wasted flying around looking for that mysterious high grade only to be spammed with degraded and distress signals. I wonder...

I've been doing a lot of battle lately with NPCs that seem to have a limitless supply of SCB and chaff. Not only are the SCBs apparently limitless, but the NPCs pop them off like candy, with no apparent overheating issues. Now I confess, I've not actually counted the number of SCBs and chaff...

Nope, nothing unusual here at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xngCJEgXoKs EDIT: Now with full-fat video guide on how it's done! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx1faamkU7Y

No joke. I just decided to give the two new ships a go. Krait was a bit meh for me... But the challenger? It does everything I wanted from the Cobra Mk III and more. I said that the problem I had with the Chieftain was it had one too few optional slot for me. The Challenger has the six I...

Hello Commanders and Frontier Developments. We are currently getting more and more updates to the game, as we were promised at Frontier Expo last year. I'm thinking now if anyone know (It's a question to FD) if we get Frontier Expo 2018 and when it will come? Also to help FD making plans for...

I definitely agree that Powerplay actions should be restricted to Open only, but I think these restrictions should be taken further. For starters, UA bombing should only be allowed in Open, in that if at any point while carrying UAs the player enters Solo/PG, the UA can no longer affect...

Hey FDev, I was just wondering if there is any word about the fix for the Massacre Pirate mission target issues? ie: Targets not spawning in RES sites in high enough numbers now to actually complete a mission, and for not being flagged as mission target most of the time when they do spawn. It...

I see so many people posting stuff about this game. I read rant after rant of unhappy commanders. I really don’t know what it is that those guys are doing in game. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when I read all the unhappy posts. It’s almost as if they are talking about some other game I’ve...

Can someone explain what this is about? Went to swap a module (shield generator ) and was removed to storage just fine, but cannot install it back into ship?!
