Well particularly high grade... but lately, just in gneneral. I remember these things popping up just about everywhere no matter where you were or what you are doing but nowadays i cant seem to find any whatsoever? Sometimes i will get like one or two in a system or something like that but then...

Elite 3.x Beyond suggestions These are some of my thoughts regarding the state of Beyond and some simple improvements to make it flow better and deepen the immersion. I’ve been playing for a number of years now and I’m sure with the combined community suggestions we can achieve a truly great...

Just jumped into a Distress Call USS and found the ship out of fuel. I elected to assist and had Fuel Limpets, so I did the Fuel thing, launched it with her selected, and the limpet just sits there. Did I really need to expend a fuel limpet? Did I miss a step?

I'm using the FSS to DSS unexplored bodies I'd never previously bothered to travel to, it's a nice side-earner while travelling around the bubble. The USSs always seem to have a small dotted circle around them no matter what frequency I'm tuned into so I propose the blue 'gravity well' blob be...

Hi everybody, I've just read the new reveal to Chapter 4's exploration upgrade and I think that we will be impacted (besides the dedicated explorers) in several ways: - USSes will be generated when you enter a system and stay there until they expire (longer than now). You will find them using...

Greetings! Backstory: I'm an aging commander who was complaining about no audio notification for USS ('Discovered new signal source' in supercruise) BEFORE finding out that at ~30% SFX volume (options>audio on PC) I simply cannot hear them over ambient/engine noise. Turning up percentage to...

Couple new utility mount ideas: 1) Data Dish/Receiver - Something you could put on your ship to interact with a starport without having to dock with it. Once you get within range (ie maybe 7,500m) this would allow you to complete any task where there isn't something physically being exchanged...

A simple suggestion: using your discovery scanner should trigger 2 or 3 signal sources every couple of minutes when used. This would help reduce the material grind to something more manageable as currently; looking for High Grade Emissions is probably the most fun-destroying activity in the...

I've noticed a few times recently that bad guy NCPs have been attacking me for no reason. Times when I have no missions, no cargo, no powerplay alliances, not wanted, just minding my own business. And they swoop in and attack. You might expect that might happen in open play, but what other...

Step 1: Use your advanced scanner or scan the Nav Beacon to get the planet location. If using the advanced scanner didn't give you a planet then go scan the Nav Beacon. Step 2: Target the planet and then fly to the planet and then do a 'fly by'. By fly by I mean flying close enough to the...

I was flying in supercruise in my local system, USS appeared. I targetted it, reveals it's a Distress Beacon (Threat 2). I drop in, one lone Diamondback, just sittng there motionless. He's generating chat dialogue that let's me know he's out of fuel. "Awesome!" I say, "time to test out my new...

A few weeks ago I did some HGE farming. Everything was as always, going on a perpendicular plane from the orbit lines and over 1000-1500ls from the star, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. During this "bonus week-end", I was travelling from the main station to Farseer in Deciat with my ships to...

Señales Desconocidas: Guía Completa (Traducción y ampliado del inglés de la guía del CMDR REAPER) USS Guide: (Unknown Signal Source) 1) Áreas de los sistemas en Supercrucero: Las zonas donde aparecen las instancias en supercrucero son diferentes dependiendo de los sistemas y pueden ser...

There's nothing more annoying than always loosing your destination lock - any time you'd like to scan a ship or determine the type of a USS that popped up along the way. If we had two separate target locks: - one for items you can dock with or stars or planets, - one for all other types of...

When I was looking for info on how fast to fly, when hunting for USS, I found only older posts, like from 2016. Several of these posts had advice to cut super cruise speed way back to the minimum possible (30km/s) and that after a few moments, a USS should spawn every 30 seconds. I followed...

Now with the addition of 100/100 of each material, I see little need for the Filtering / Ignore list for materials. Instead I propose that we have a Favorites list. This can be as simple or as complex as you have time to program. The basic idea is that you add items to a favorite list...

Hi. I've been searching for Imperial Shielding all day. Haven't found a single one. I've searched more than 5 imperial systems with high populations. Haven't even found a single high grade signal source. Has something changed recently?

1 year ago today CMDR's began to see hyperdictions with thargoids. It was mentioned somewhere that in previous games they were much more terrifying, because they were found everywhere and extremely powerful, according to others who have played prior versions of Elite. You see a thargoid and...

PLEASE IGNORE THE POLL! IT'S BROKEN! **LATEST NEWS** Looks like an external camera is finally arriving in V1.2:- Michael has confirmed the feature will allow you to view your ship from various angles and distances. It will also allow you to in effect obtain a cockpit/HUDless screenshot. And...
