ship

Since the panther clipper special optional internal slots were introduced, I wondered which special optional internals could be usefull for future ships. And I got an idea. name: Overseer (or Overlord) Large combat support ship. "small fleet carrier" similar design with raised bridge for better...

Instead of having arbitrary numbers, make it an actual system based on mass. +1 to masslock for every 100t sound about right, and I mean the actual mass. That means it changes depending on loadout and cargo. The range of masslock factors would stay more or less the same. My own Cutter would have...

Possible new imperial ship?? Maybe a cargo hauler? What do we think.... Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kL842g2deI&t=39s Flimley

Greetings CMDRs! I guess we all have seen those beautiful printable 3d models on the internet. I extremely wanted to print the Mandalay, but I have found nothing at all. Is it possible to extract Mandalay’s 3d model with ninja ripper for example? I’ve heard it’s impossible to extract 3d models...

Please add a ship stat to the right panel showing how long the ship has been in service. The counter should reset on destruction, or add a second timer for all-time uptime. EDIT: ...and maybe also purchase date and last date of destruction.

This is a proposal to revamp the current salvage system in use within Elite. New Currency - Scrap Salvage: Scrap salvage can only be obtained through direct salvage or salvage missions. Processing salvaged modules/ships yields Scrap Salvage as a byproduct, while still returning other items...

Despite 100+ jumps, neutron star boosts, landing on planets, getting close to the star to fuel and supercruising my ship doesn't show any weathering at all. The paimntjob is brand new :( I wish there was weathering

Now that FDEV is planning to sell preset ship builds, I’d like to share an idea that’s been brewing in my head for some time. When FDEV launched Odyssey, it introduced an interesting feature that I’m not sure everyone appreciates (probably not), but I found it intriguing and somewhat fun. I’m...

I started playing Elite Dangerous on the PlayStation 4 in September 2022. I switched over to the PC version of the game because they are no longer doing game DLC updates for the PlayStation version. I can see big potential in this game. Having players walk around on the planet's surface and...

At the moment, certain missions will pay out engineering materials which is great. The trouble is, it's a dice roll whether you'll find a mission that pays out the material you need in a useful quantity. A much easier way to have people earn mats without just directly buying them would be the...

We were thinking of ideas like implementation of new alien races as AI controlled races or similar (with clues or similar things to find it). We also think that it would be a very good idea to implement new ships (at least of the fleet character) that the players of a fleet could buy by all...

I have received a drop on Twitch. It's a Type-9 that I can use on my account. I already linked the account but I don't know where or how to use the ship I received. I can't find any option that allows me to use the ship.

So, as many of you know, fighting Thargoids is quite a bit easier if you cold-orbit. That is, you keep your ship's heat below 20% and force them to fire at you manually with no projectile tracking. I also think I've seen some discussions and some videos about how your thermal signature affects...

Hello dear Frontier, could you please bring the ship kit for the great Alliance Crusader? Found the sneak peeks. Hope it's not forgotten. https://dlc.elitedangerous.com/images/wide/media/catalog/product/f/o/forc_fdev_v_crusader_kit_1000-1.jpg...

Hi, I would love to see a medium sized ship from the Empire to explore the galaxy. Right now we have the courier (small) which is beautiful, but mostly oriented toward speed and combat. After that it jump right to the larger ship like the clipper and cutter. They are good for exploring, but...

I can't believe I spent 30 minutes circling my anaconda to land next to the scout for the CG, 30 ing minutes, round and back and never managed to land, ironically I kept going off the ground and the game told me, right place, low, sorry but i don't want to land, switch to horizon, 30...

Here are all the ships developed by Frontier for Elite .... from 1980 to 2022. In yellow those that have been implemented from the beginning of the game, until today. The other colors indicate the new ships, and their implementation in subsequent game developments. In red, those never...

Hello, I'm pretty fairly new to this game and I got the basics of the game know. I did the road to riches for some time now and I got 26 million credits now, I'm currently flying with my hauler and my question is: Which ship should I buy now to get some real money ? I'm kinda getting sick of...

Good afternoon. Decided to make some suggesions for current (mostly) and new ships that both developers and players might like, but that doesn't consist of a simple "add interior". So what do I mean? Despite the fact that players are asking to add an interior in spite of everything, I see that...

I need a name for this Python. I went with Red Robin, but I'm not really feeling it. Something quirky, not too serious, but descriptive. I'm using it as an armed transport.

I have just started Elite Odyssey. I have done the training started the online mode. I am in a station where you have to complete missions buy getting taxis!? Do you not have your own ship? I thought everyone started with a sidewinder?

I actually need help to build my anaconda, it is currently multipurpose with storage and a planetary landing pad in case but I like to use it on bounty hunt and sometimes on CZ. I play it on full shield but if you have any idea of how I can upgrade my defense it would be cool. I also think I...

With Odyssey I have seen a need for an new ship launched vessel class, the shuttle with landing and docking capabilities. The shuttle could have maybe one weapon, and more analyzing capabilities. Using that with the artemis suit to go down to surface to search for and analyze biological...

Good day CMDR`s! I immediately apologize for my English and, I hope, this will not prevent you from understanding what I will write below. My problems in the game started two weeks ago (it's been three patches on Thursdays). Since the Odyssey alpha test, there have never been such global...

These ships would have a long jump capacity. It could be returned from our ship or our SRV, as our ship may already be since the SRV. This ship would be there for the RP is could be a small base for the player. It would differ from the Freighters because we could only board one (or two maximum...

Actually, we must enter in a blue circle to enter in our ship. May i suggest to let us climb the ship staircase to the door : The entrance to the ship would simply be made by clicking on the door. If possible an animation of the door would be done. To go a little further, an animation could be...

The purpose of this ship would be to harvest fuel from stars in large amounts. The ship would have a ‘hidden’ fuel tank which it could not directly draw on for flight. This tank would compress the scooped hydrogen so that this ship could actually carry enough in one load to be worth it (At the...

These would be full ships as opposed to ship launched fighters. These ships would be for the serious Guardian Grinder/Thargoid Fighter commanders out there. Like all guardian stuff, they would work against humans and thargoids. My idea is for two options. The Guardian Strike Fighter and the...

Anaconda, Asp Explorer, Diamondback Explorer, Python. Wich one is better for exploring? ( I have seen this types of tread, but they were form 2018-2017, too old)

Am very positive about the Starport Tour video. Overall its good. Hope the ship transition is not final. On the ED subreddit, Preem explained: preem_choom: "Good transition: the elevator from the main hub to the hanger bad transition: walking into a blue circle to get into your ship Hope...

o7 Cmdrs! A little while ago, I built a neat little addition to my AX fleet, a Mamba, and notably for myself it was an exciting first as it is my first and only ship build without shields. I love it. I took it out for a few spins against the Thargoids and I decided to give her the to my mind...

I have played Elite for a bit over 400 hours total and I really love the game. However, one of the things that annoys me is how the large ships do almost everything better than the smaller ships. There are 14 small ships and only 9 large ships, yet I'm finding myself spending the vast majority...

I’m out at Farseer inc in my SRV. My ship just disappears, out of sight and radar. Lookup and found out I can dock at the station. Probably is, station keeps denying me access. I’m not wanted, just joined Federation for some extra credits for awhile. Some help is needed.

CMDRS should be able to transfer a ship to a station without having to be in the said station, maybe it could come at a small added cost idk just add it

I know we're pretty much at the "end of the list", minus a couple of ships that never made it into ED, but I had a few ideas come to mind and I'm wondering if anyone else would care to see some neat things like these come into existence. Specifically for this thread, Player Owned "Cruisers"...

So, we all know, and appreciate, how busy the developers have been in the past year working on making carriers a reality for us, and now working on the next big thing, but how about you show some love to those who like the original content of the game? here are a few suggestions: Passenger...

Hello I have a question on Ship Integrity that I can't really find a definitive answer to. I went on a trip to finish off "Elite" in Exploration, and when I got back from what must have been a journey of 20k LYs, I found my DBX at 58% Integrity. I took two auto field maintenance units with me...

Hello I am currently working on Engineering a Krait MKII and was looking for advice on making the best build for PVP Combat. Right now, my ship is unstoppable against any NPCs I have run into, not even a fight a really, but I would like to get my ship in the best condition for PVP. Here's a...
