NOTE: I created this thread giving my opinion on CQC since I didn't see the "CQC 5.5 years old. Update 1 due yet?" one (see link), so I'm sorry for not checking more throroughly in this subforum. Since I already shared my ideas in the other thread, I don't mind if this one is deleted. It also...
The Rottie Pack Mercs (TRPM)
07 All. I run a small squadron on PC and Xbox (mainly PC) and was wondering if anyone from here would like to join? We play all aspects of the game and with us being mercenaries we're not really fussed if you like to play nefarious. We also like to help people a...

Compilation of random on-foot PVP encounters in Open Play.
I had an old sniper clip that I wanted to re-edit and some leftover footages from the last CG. So I decided to make a little music video.

When the rate of illegal CMDR murder in a non-anarchy star system is high, allow CMDRs to sign up to be deputised by system security there. Basically, Pilots' Federation CMDRs are causing problems in the system, interfering with the conduction of normal business, and the system authority agrees...
As the title says: Remove private Lobby and single Player. Why? Because right now people are having influences on the galaxy and you can't stop them from having it. Best examples are Community events and Powerplay. My power was expanding into a system and I sat there for over an hour and...
I think CQC still has great potential to bring more players (especially streamers) to Elite due to it's pick-up and play design and zero-risk-to progress format. But sadly it has been a feature that was implemented many years ago in 2015 and then essentially left to rot with hardly any...
Just looking for a little input on my PVP "Run and Gun" Sidewinder build. What changes and engineering you would recommend for a better chance of survival.
Black Betty Sidewinder
I've already said this countless times, to countless people but perhaps considering FDEV are doing a CQC stream tonight it might be worth barking again...
There's 1 glorious, easy way to make CQC matter.
Give winners high grade engineering material rewards.
And just like that people would...
during a reconnaissance I caught a serial Ganker at work in the act. it stood in mid-air 6km from the port of Fraseer, with the nose of the Cutter pointed down and the railguns leveled to blow up the ships landing or taking off.
Using big eng ships against small & medium (or transport/exp ships)...
If you are looking for a squadron to join that is still relatively small but growing, that helps its members and provides coordinated support than ARAX CORP. May be where you fit in.

Not sure what’s really going on under the hood on these Enzyme Missile Racks, but it seems like it buffed the damage of a single Advance Missile rocket.
Opponent was at 87% hull when when one of my enzyme missile racks was damaged. So I’m only shooting it with 1 dumb rocket and 1 enzyme...
Ship combat is currently showing years of neglect. There's a large list of weapons that no one ever uses because they're pointless as is. In Conflict Zone PVE, ship hulls are often bullet sponged up to a comical number making it feel more like a Korean MMO than fast and strategic space combat...
Could anyone please share their mouse and keyboard bindings file they use for PVP? I'm struggling to bind the UI windows and divert power without taking my hand off the mouse.

Hello forums,
Disclaimer of wall of text.
A day or so ago I posted thread that discussed time to kill (TTK) and ship heath without actually thinking through what I was trying to touch on or get at. I had a feeling that my Corvette was too indestructible (despite not being fully engineered) and...
Hello everybody! I apologize in advance if my questions seem stupid or have already been discussed many times, but I have a little difficulty with English, so I could not find the necessary information. I'm interested in the Vulture build. I was inspired by the video from the Youtube channel...

Hello
I am having a hard time deciding on this build and wondering what would be better, even Resistances for my shields or basically ignoring the Resistances and tanking it for as many Mj in the shields as I can get?
If you look at the pictures below... in one pic, I have pretty even...
Buenas a todos, abro este hilo, porque me gustaría aprender maniobras de combate.
Los vídeos que encuentro en Youtube son de combate básico y ya se fijar una nave y darle al gatillo.
Puede que algunos de vosotros tengáis vídeos explicando maniobras como por ejemplo quitar el asistente de vuelo...
So, straight to the point.
Fer-de-Lance is the only viable PvP combat ship at the moment. I suppose we all can agree that it is bad for PvP community and for the game as a whole.
The problem is: Fer-de-Lance has too much shield strength (up to 4000 MJ) for its medium size and superior agility...
When I get tired of exterminating the Targoids, I go back to Shinrarta Dezhra and on various missions there I meet the gangsters.
But I am surprised lately. Rarely, rarely see 1-2 people, and then usually at the station.
Where are all the people now ?
P.S. I was told that most of them live in...
Like it or not ganking is a legitimate playstyle. Think reavers from Firefly. Or, in-universe, they are known as raiders. Those who kill with no defined purpose other than to cause death.
My suggestion is fairly straightforward. Give gankers a reward system that encourages them to kill, but to...
I've been playing Elite for a few days and gotten a few hundred mil, own a Python and Anaconda nothing too fancy.
I'm looking for some mentors to learn the ropes of PvP and guidance on what ship I should purchase and start working on to main as a PvP boat.
I'm not really looking into Piracy or...
1. Enabling the player's blocking does not prevent him from seeing another player in the open game only blocks his messages.
2. If a player with enabled message about a crime wasn't killed legally (everybody understands, not in Anarchy, not in the Conflict Zone, not in a hostile force(PP) if you...
Frontier created PVP gankers. Discuss.
For.
All in game combat delivers no balanced/relevant in game reward.
Once done with the forced/effective methods of "play" that got you the money to being combat ship build ready, you have no in game challenges left.
You think back on your time mining and...
The Elite community is small enough as it is (compared to other big titles out there), and I think it's a shame that rather than adjust game mechanics to adjust risk/reward of being in open, Fdev instead provides ways to divide the community (solo, private groups, etc) who likely would rather a...
Please introduce two community goals contradicting each other.
Example:
Some faction wants to collect a resource to build "something".
Other faction wants to prevent this construction.
So,
Commanders enlisted for the 1st faction will try to protect the transport NPC vehicles delivering the...
Having played a lot of ED over the past few year's I've barely touched it this year.
Why? I'm one of those people who play ED for the PvP aspect and the current state of the game makes PvP unenjoyable.
Instancing, de-sync between players and the years of fighter lag are issues that weren't...
Hey!
So I've been following everything that transpired in the Nebula.. How factions went all the way to the Carcosa system to burn shipyards, and urinate on treaties. I felt compelled to write a little encouragement-letter to the Reapers out there, fighting a war against hordes of intruders...
So yeah, somewhat dead-horse topic incoming... what do Fdev have against main-game PvP?
PvP is huge in online gaming these days, and I don't think it's going to get less big going forward. I have always struggled to understand why Fdev choose to make it so inaccessible and inconsequential...
The purpose of this thread is to be an open discussion on the topics of the block feature and combat-logging.
Something needs to be done about blocking as a feature and combat-loggers.
The fact that blocking a player effectively removes the possibility that you will ever encounter them in open...
