Hello all, I wasn’t sure where to post this as there doesn’t appear to be a dedicated section in the forums for this kind of thing (at least not one I can find anyway 😅). I am experiencing consistent crashing when loading into a certain save file. I have tried multiple approaches from both...

Silly question but I am curious how other people play video games. I do not only mean by the platform of choice but what videogames mean to players. Is it a quick entertainment for brief periods of time, or is it a dedicated part of your lifestyle in which you can not see yourself not playing...

o7 Cmdr's the current comunity goals in Drevlyada are disgraceful not possible participate because even today around 30 players in supercruise interdicting players going to repair&reload and going out of stations never seen such an incredible desmotivation to play the game whatsoever... How this...

The last tweaks to mother lode material sell prices on specific commodity markets is creating genuine wild west style gold rushes at a couple of ports & stations (~1.5M per ton). This is excellent and brings mining almost inline with the passenger lounge & mission board but requires skill & user...

As part of my process for trying to understand why CMDR's play Power Play. I have made a merits calculator on Google Docs. It is available for any body who uses this link: Elite Dangerous Power Play Economics for the merits via transportation This 1st chart shows that merits...

Hello PP players. Even though I have had this game since release. I have only just joined my 1st PP power. I had heard a lot of bad things about PP so I put it off. However, I decided I really wanted those prismatic shields :) I have been reading the helpful guides on this forum and watching...

I know this has been said a thousand times before and I know I'm going to attract controversy for saying it but if I don't say it, how will Frontier know it's something I and likely many other people invested in the background sim would like. Gathering feedback in my gaming community for why...

although i don't mind being interdicted legitimately, i DO mind, Frontier doing nothing / little, about making sure that when only one person is on high ping in a inderdiction, that the preferential/depenent co-processing, needs to depend on THEIR end processing FIRST, to make sure that the...

Hey CMDRS, For anyone interested in Elite content that's more on the humorous/RP side of things, I've been putting out videos recently in a mini-series called "Deep Space Dangus", chronicling the adventures of Captain Spatula as he travels from Colonia, to Sagittarius A on a secret mission for...

So the BGS.. The bane of many Cmdr's existence. {DISCAIMER}: This is an open only advocating post, for the reasons contained within. (I feel the need to point out these home truths as noone on the other postings will even reply to my comments.) BGS is both a PvE and PVP activity, in such that...

I've been power play only for the modules. I'm a few modules in so far and I'm looking for advice about how many spare modules I should have in storage so I don't have to wait another 3+ weeks later on. I made sure to have one prismatic of every size plus a couple on ships and an extra spare...

Hello fellow Commanders! I've started my new YouTube Channel where I will talk about various parts of Elite Dangerous with a bit of role-playing on the Imperial side of the coin. First I want to address all new Commanders and make tutorial videos for them, so they can enjoy this game more. I...

Hi! I have three questions relating this topic: 1. In Solo Play, do other ships represent real players or they are AIs? 2. Am I destroyable in Solo Play Mode if I slow down in space somewhere in a star system and quit from the game application? How does other players see and interact with my...

I had a big day today, I flipped a system to my favoured (NPC) faction. ED Bucket List Box ticked, it was months of work and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Or I was, until I met a Pledged player. No, no PvP was involved, they just came to investigate the change & happened to meet me, we had a...

First of all, I know that Frontier will most likely add more animations to the game (hopefully soon) So far, I really enjoy this game, despite of all the criticism. But what I have noticed is, that the Dinosaurs really don't do that much. They gather themselves in small groups every now and...

I am curious to find out if there are any differences between PC and Xbox for this game. I would like the best experience. Also if it is for both Xbox and PC making it a play anywhere game on Xbox would be really awesome. If that were to happen I would be able to buy if for my Xbox and play it...

For 'Space Legs' should it ever happen...This is how I'd like it to be... Scenario: Ship discovers alien base or accepts mission... You and Co-Op wing mates land on outskirts of underground/overground base. Get out of your ship seat. Walk to Internal cockpit door into Medium sized or Large...

https://youtu.be/Y48U_JXYMLk After reading them threads where people complain about BGS & that doing things for it in solo is cheating : it sparked an idea for this! Now to note once more : doing BGS or power play in solo or private IS NOT CHEATING and if you think it is : well you are wrong...

Hi all! I am quiet sure that these suggestions happened before in some way, I want to write down my own ideas. My first suggestion would be to have only open game mode. Atm the game is basicly a single player game with multiplayer possibilities. I understand the players who play alone or...

Basically what I trying to say is. As a community what can we do to help push cross play to this game, is there any information from developers that can tell the community to help ease the process? People/Company (Sony, Microsoft) to contact to give our enthusiastic insight, experience that...

We are a small wing looking to start a group focusing on open, faction play to expand alliance interests in a specific location with the aim to found our own faction. The group currently consists of a few relatively new players, so all who are interested can join, regardless of previous...

Firstly I would like to congratulate FDev on the Crime & Punishment system being introduced in Beyond; in my view it is excellent so hats off. One potential issue in regard to Powerplay though is that the current method of detecting whether a system is being opposed or undermined involves using...

What a stupid name, commander Twistedcat. I had to make that bet. Anyway, today was goind to be an epic day. Or so I thought. A few weeks ago, my vulture was finally equipped with these sweet 5A thrusters and I was just back from The jet's hole where Hera Tani pimped up that ridiculously small...

I'm a well rounded pilot enjoying all aspects of the game. I'm looking for active people who enjoy the game as much as I do. right now I'm focused on gaining empire rank (currently baron) and unlocking engineers... don't leave me in orbit! Fly Dangerously [alien]

The hard coded Powerplay allegiances no longer reflect how the game is being played (eg Yuri Grom is an ally of the Imperial Powers but the game does not recognise this). As such imho there needs to be someway for those pledged to a Power to change its diplomatic status. It would therefore be...

Hello, all I am looking for a new faction to join. I'm currently in one but wishing to leave since they aren't very kind. I'm a good PVP and PVE pilot and good at exploring. I do not wish to join a empire faction. So Fed or Independent will have to do. I'm also not sure if this the right place...

Commanders should be able to found their own Minor Faction in game imho. This could be either as a group via the forthcoming Squadron mechanics or individually as a reward for those with triple Elite or Double Elite with Admiral/King. Limiting each Squadron/Commander to one, making it an...

With Beyond Powerplay is getting its own Bounty system. As such, it may allow another way to encourage player participation in PvP, namely by recording the number of enemy kills Commanders clock up and for their Power to award them with medals or rank stripes at certain numbers of confirmed...

I am a PvP player. I do not and never will apologize about it. Yes I would love to enjoy all other aspects of ED but the way I see the game, the only one thing that is fully developed are ship vs ship battles. That is the meat and bone of this game. Every other activity is only a filler for me...
