piracy

I’m a bit confused by the “Liberate n units of a thing” type of mission. For example, I have a mission right now called “Agricultural Liberation of 6 Commercial Samples”. I get to the NPC target (and I’m starting off with soft targets), but I’m not sure what to do next to get him/her to hand...

Hello I've started playing again ED after a quite long stop (i got VR), and I am trying some piracy against NPC. Got a Python with 3xclass 3 pulse laser for shield dropping and 2xclass 2 cannons (i even tried class 2 missile racks) for module disabling. I've been reading a lot and watching...

This game's most foundational systems are absolutely astounding. The flight models feel more real than anything else I've ever flown with a joystick, and the immersive factor is incredible. The scale is amazing, and flying to and fro really puts space travel into perspective. Watching the video...

Cargo and passenger missions are dreadfully dull, with absolutely nothing to do than jump, supercruise, fuel scoop, and occasionally fight off an incredibly easy interdiction. This is certainly not reflective of how dangerous it can be to drive logistics and transport in reality, especially...

I know crime and punishment is being tweaked further, but I was thinking back to when i used to play a text-based MUD in the 90s that allowed unlimited PVP and stuck to roleplay as much as possible, and the ways we could self-police other players causing trouble. In that game (also a huge open...

In systems you are wanted people can access an intelligence network in stations that constantly reveals your exact location for 10 minutes. - After use the game informs the player that he is being hunted and shows a timer until he has evaded the intelligence network. - Intelligence network...

With your current system you are punishing pirates as greifers killing an npc should not result in a punishment like that please separate this punishment. I suggest that PVP Greifers who kill you or make you fail a mission by stealing mission cargo should be locked out of outfitting and...

Reports of The Code's inactivity over the last year or so is fake news: https://youtu.be/uM6Li7RGDCI

Currently, Pirates will try to loot valuable cargo from your ship if it has a high enough value. That value floor is pretty low, with responses from holding certain low value items along the lines of, "You're not worth my time", and responses from holding only Limpets being the same as responses...

So with the new update out and things beginning to settle down, a few things become apparent: earning credits and materials for better and badder ships is the big focus (besides fun of course), the new crime and punishment system makes a bit more sense (for those who can sift through the...

On February 17, 3304, the Momoirent System came under attack by a squadron of the Screaming Eagles piracy group. Over the course of several hours, Traders from all over the bubble found themselves at the mercy of these intrepid pirates. All seemed lost until the Saviour of Momoirent appeared...

just hit the jackpot.. piracy does compensate xD

Exploration is fairly monotonous. Jump In > Honk/Scoop > Scan > Jump Out. Jump In > Honk/Scoop > Scan > Jump Out. So on and so forth. It lacks any real variety in tasks despite the huge variations available in ships, and with engineering, module set ups available to Commanders to perform tasks...

Please FDev, can we have a legitimate gameplay mechanic to free Slaves? Something like the Search and Rescue feature would do for now, at the very least, or faction-specific missions to free ‘X’ amount of Slaves. Something tied into faction rep and the BGS would be ideal, IMO. I remember, very...

So lets start off by saying I love this game. All what I am about to say is my opinion and mine alone I don't represent anyone or anything but MYSELF Formality's out of the way lets talk Elite First off lets start off by saying. Nerfing honey holes is a sign there is a issue with acquiring...

3 Bullet points that I think will strongly improve both overall gameplay and the BGS with Anarchy style systems. 1 (and 2): Influence and One New Faction Type Anarchy Faction: All ill-gotten and illegal goods are able to be sold to their markets Increasing their influence within the system...

Hello, everyone. I got this idea recently from both playing Fractured Space, and watching the Discovery Scanner episode about the Thargon Swarm. In some combat scenarios, it might be useful to limit the mobility of an enemy, slowing their speed in all 6 degrees of motion, and in others, to...

Well I know I'm new on Elite but I already saw the infinite evolution possibilities offered to the game, and with the coming of the fleet carrier I got an idea. Why not making them useful for piracy or bounty hunting by capturing ships like in many scifi movies, I know it will be hard to...

Reposting this from the official thread to here, because the other thread is not intended for user/user interaction. I'm curious as to peoples thoughts on this. Understand the post is a general concept, but I think it conveys the gist. Apologize about the length. I have to echo some of the...

Highly illegal goods (hig) The different states of the background sim would determine if a black market has a demand for a hig. For example during a lockdown state Battleweapons become a hig, which could sell for 50 - 60k a pop. Hig's would have a maximum demand shared by all players, first...
