Newcomer / Intro My Return to ED ......

Earth Like World's are not landabe unfortunately.
What are planets you can land on in "ED-Horizon" ?
What about ED-Odyssey ? maybe there are ELW's there that you can land on ? Or least Planets with water ?

A world has to have water to be classified as Earth like.
It is so good to know they exist. (y) My new aim ? To find one you can land on. ;) It's alright; if there was one the whole bloody world would know. ED would see to that. :p
 
Sometimes when booting up ED, when I click CONTINUE, it jumps me straight into my cockpit,
and doesn't give me a chance to select the MODE (ie. OPEN, SOLO, TRAINING, etc) I wish to play in.
Is there any way I can check which default MODE it has jumped me into ? Thanks.
This is a nuisance I found too. I use the keyboard to select player mode now to avoid the mouse click registering twice and throwing me into open.

Frontier developments have not done the work required to create Earth Like World's with atmospheres and complex environments - so you cannot land on any in Horizons or Odysee. All the planets and moons you can land on are relatively simple, but still impressive considering they are generated/designed by software algorithm. I think creating Earth like World's in this way would be hugely challenging to to do.
Maybe in some future version of ED it will become possible to land on an Earth like world.
One thing that is frustrating is the game won't let you land on the Earth's moon in the Sol system. You can land on Mercury, though.
 
That is interesting.I found this ELW months ago and it is 'west' of the bubble. Colonia is 22Kly north of the bubble. I left Colonia yesterday travelling to somewhere a little 'east' of Sagittarius A*, which is 'north east' of the bubble by 25Kly+
Yes, thanks. I need to check (again) a System in Colonia. Get its coordinates. I had then once ! :mad:
I also still have to compare LHS 2265 System coordinates with SOL and your Qiedea System.
Just been too busy exploring "MySphere" ...... :LOL:
 
That is a screen shot from Coriolis.
You don't seem to have auto update turned on for inara.cz so I can't look in and see how your credit balance is going for your next ship 😉
Oh!!!!! I get confused about the ED's-this, and ED's-that. I just don't spend sufficient time with them. Too busy and now exploring, but I'm happy with that . Unfortunately, other things suffer, including sleep, exercise, s** (I wish.....) :LOL:
 
So you reckon it's OPEN it put you into ? I jump back to the main menu immediately if it happens to me.
Yes, the mouse click goes through and acts as if you clicked what is underneath, which is usually the Open button. Either click way at the top or just hit spacebar instead of clicking with the mouse.

Exactly my point. (y)

Yes ....... agree. then you could at least look up at the Moon ..... sorry, the Earth. ;)

Yes, I also thought it pick OPEN for that reason, Thanks. I'll use your approach in future.
I've got you down as 3.15 am now ? 😲
 
Sorry, but you are nowhere near COLONIA (-9500 : -911 :19810).
That's 24,860LY's in the Y direction alone, away !
Even I'm closers in my current location (MyShere) in the bubble, to COLONIA than you, at 19,850LY's again only looking at the Y direction ! 😲 I'm confused .... 🤔
Yes the system in the picture where my first ELW was discovered is further from Colonia than the bubble, but Quain is currently in his Phantom about a couple of thousand light years 'east' of Colonia. That picture of my Anaconda in front of the ELW was taken months ago.

Did you realize you are ........ 4830LY east ......... 24.860LY south ....... and at a higher altitude of 789LY than COLONIA ?

Quain Said:
I just update my inara profile and the system name Quain is currently sleeping in is called Kyloarph RD-A d1-6009
Not sure what coordinates that is.



Sorry. Had trouble up-loading it .....
ED - Kyloarph.jpg

The coodinates are ....-7120 : -490 : 20790. Which makes you fairly close to COLONIA. In fact very close.

That's 22,028.48LY "as the crow flies" from me at LHS 2265.

You don't seem to have auto update turned on for inara.cz so I can't look in and see how your credit balance is going for your next ship 😉
Credit balance ? About 45 000 credit, but I'm donating that to my home station. We're struggling here, and I've offered to help. I'll run a few passenger missions for them, and donate my taking. There're really pleased, and it's helping me become accepted. And It's really nice to help. (y)

From a less alturistic perspective, your improved reputation with them for donating will mean you get access to better paying missions later 👍
