I on the other hand would prefer it if FD didn’t do this and provide some of us with ideas of how to do something similar subtly enough to not get caught.
Oh is true ? Good news if it is. Might be a bit late however bgs chaos already happened
The Colonia travel crowd will kill you... a trip to Colonia is ~50 carrier jumps
Thank you for the update, but specifically this!
I'd also like to note that someone has been really bad about switching the server status to "Good" in the launcher, when they're still offline. Please test internally before changing the server status.
I find this endearing
the launcher status seems never to be accurate. I wonder what it is looking at, or if someone really needs to set the value by hand.
Hi thx for this update fixing bug. Please don't forget fixing issue FC can't jump. o7
Sometimes, I like to think of it as the launcher being a bit too excited to get people back into the game lolI find this endearing
The problem is, it's not a queue. So politely attempting, failing, waiting 10mins, trying again. It just doesn't work.
You need to spam the requests until you catch a free slot. Having wasted a weekend of not being able to move my FC someone pointed this out to me so I tried it and boom, got a slot with 2mins after repeating the request half a dozen times. Had to wait 75mins for the flight, but atleast it had a slot.
If FDev can't handle the load, they should introduce a queue so everyone gets a fair chance. The spam solution is horrid and not good for the system or the users, but it's all we have right now.
Ever played Foxhole? You'll learn to abhorr the concept of a queue system if you do...
Wouldn't want to see a FC queue of 4hours + or something of the sort, even less the thought of for some reason if you lose connection or your game crashes you lose your queue position, only to come back and have an even longer wait time. It essentially need to consider your FC jump time to be set to avoid connection loss/crashes for that inconvenience, which considering how it works as of now it would already be similar except with even longer wait times
I think FDev need to spend some money on increasing the capacity of the fleet jump server. The new normal will be above the old normal, and it's most notably not fair on ppl using fleet carriers for exploration, it essentially renders their activity unplayable.
Make it slow, difficult to fly or even without SCA or automated docking: Everywthing that supports active gameplay and few repetitions is better than having to do 30x (semi active) runs to load/unload a full FC.
Does anyone know if it is true that it is said that passive income through colonization is possible?
No problem, take your time and thank you for the info Paul o7
Look just 4 posts above yours.
In Fdevs own words yes
System Colonisation Guide - Elite Dangerous
Elite Dangerous’ new Trailblazers update offers Commanders a whole new way to leave their footprints across one of the 400 billion stars in the galax...
not quite true - if You want to jump your carrier, eben at high travel frequency-times it take you between 3 and 15 requests, but ultimatly you get a slot (my experience of the last 10 days)
Yes, but not a large enough amount to care about.
For much lower effort than colonising a system and building it up to get a higher weekly income, you could complete a couple of easy Powerplay weekly tasks each week, get into "top 50%" in your power, and get 5 million credits that way.
The process of colonising and building a system - unless you somehow convince some other players to do all the hauling for you - will also earn you active income far faster than the passive income.
