Dav's Hope AVOID AT ALL COSTS

There is a bug as too many CMDRS at Dav's hope - PC owners can clear it by logging in to non-Horizons but on the xbox you cant. So avoid or end up with unplayable save like I have (no its not xbox issue as tried another one/hard resets etc and second new CMDR account works fine).
 
This is a known bug, specific to Dav's Hope, which occurs when a player repeatedly re-logs. So, for now, don't. [up]

If anyone does get stuck, put in a support ticket and CS can move your ship for you.

This game needs much many Dav's Hopes... :rolleyes:

I've counted 7 of them so far, all in the last 2 days...Dav's hope is just for those too stuck in the easy path to engineering rut to visit the others [yesnod]

Do I really need to list them all for you to save you clicking on a browser button?

Most of them are lesser or similar distances to Dav's and already known about and documented. C'mon people, Dav's isn't the only material shop for the lazy.

Here's a pictorial clue....

You didn't even mention any of the megaships that have engineers mats floating around them. Equip a collector limpet controller instead of an SRV hangar and voila, you can have the materials come to you instead of driving around in circles to pick them up.

Totally agree with what is implied here though. Tunnel vision is a real problem in 3304.

+1 Wolf....If folks can't be bothered to look further than the currently fashionable places...I'm not going to list all the options available to save their tired mouse button fingers [squeeeee]
 
For a while when I responded to threads asking for help I had tried adopting the age old philosophy of teaching a man to fish as opposed to giving them the fish. But one of two things usually happened. 1. With in one or two posts someone else would just give them a fish. or 2. Person(s) would still resort to asking questions as a first course of action in spite of having tools and information presented to them many times over.

On the second point, there is one particular person who posts here frequently whose threads I won't even open let alone respond to.

It's not like this was a 'help' post... it was stating the game was broken because hundreds if not thousands of players, not just on Xbox but on PC and PS4 too... have been trolling around at one particular planetary base...all mode switching to hoover up mats readily found in abundance elsewhere in the game then crying foul because the game went a bit weird.

I can't wait for the salt-fest when FDev are forced to nerf Dav's to alleviate the strain on their servers...

Bitcoin anyone?

edit- Here's a link to the Cannon Research list of megaships. Scroll down until you find one that says engineers mats can be found around it, then click on the ship's name and you will be taken to a page listing the ships current location (some of them move around). https://canonn.science/codex/megaships/

Are they working again ?.....last time I wen to Naphtha Class Tanker FKS-981 there were no mats around at all.
 
Holy crap I was there yesterday in Solo. The other day I went in Open and my game continued crashing, there were like 7 commanders there at one point and my game slowed to a crawl and the game just crashed.

I will avoid that site for now and do USS signal sources or maybe try some of the other places mentioned here.

Thanks, I needed you to list them

Agreed and no, the cloud of random mats is not there when you relog any more. Seems the wait for the local NPC's to start killing each other is a workaround but then you have to wait for the bodies to pile up. Not as quick and easy as it used to be. Shame FDev's new megaship interactions don't include a stash of accessible engineering materials.

I and many other players surely think they should have, but no. FDev, thinking caps please ;)

Note: I was having problems loading at Dav's until I dismissed my ship, then it reloaded ok.

Hobbes hope is Davs hope...
 
Hobbes hope is Davs hope...

Aye, just realised that one was an old screenie taken just after beta 2.3 as I was wandering about [where is it]

The point I was making is that there's loads of Dav's hopes out there and they're all listed, most if not all of them on the EDBearing web page..which is a fairly commonly used tool in ED. It's not like anyone has to dig through Cannon mega-threads to find the details of them either.

Anyway, changed it for the Anaconda outpost (also listed)...mats and data there too :)

Huh, well I guess that's a new way of nerfing sites; have them bug out...

Only visited Dav's for the first time last night. Did a few rounds, and I left wholly unscathed. I'll give it a miss from now on, though.

It was only an issue just after 3.0 dropped due to the large numbers of players logging in in open. Now that the initial mat gathering surge has passed it seems ok now
