Spaceship

[Rasputyn]

Loving the game...

The hilarity of the docking computer!!!
On my first use I thought i was going to wet myself laughing as it rolls over on its top and shudders in backwards at a crawl before nearly smashing a hole through the pad on touchdown (the musical backdrop is brilliant)

Some questions though, where can I get my hands on an exploration vessel?(A spaceship porno mag is needed with all the sick stuff you can get and where)
What prompts missions to change in the stations?
Why does Super cruise decide to overshoot and not slow down sometimes?
Where are good combat zones that give you bounty vouchers, except Eranin 2?

Thanks very much for any help!

most places near the nav becon (except anarchy) will have bounty i think

They change every 5 minutes

Why does Super cruise decide to overshoot and not slow down sometimes?

Seems random tbf. I've learned to tweak my throttle every 5 seconds which appears to prevent it happening

Eranin 3 & 4 (and IIRC 6 as well) also have combat areas around them

It seems that if you approach too fast or don't slow down soon enough, you wont be able to slow down until you over shoot and come back again. It just takes a bit of getting used to

 

[Helo]

Supercruise overshoots like that because the planetary mass is pulling you in I think it's pretty freaking cool.

Why does Super cruise decide to overshoot and not slow down sometimes...

It's not random.

Keep your speed at approx ten per cent of distance. Keep it 'in the light blue', and it will never overshoot.

Go into your control options and set a key bind so that you can toggle your thrust to +75%.
When approaching your destination in SC, use maximum thrust until your speed equals 10% of your target distance, then set your thrust to +75% using the key bind.

Example: If your speed is 20.0c, slow to 75% thrust when you are 200.0Ls from your destination. If your speed is 12.0c, slow down when you are 120.0Ls from target.

This will slow your ship down perfectly during final approach. Also, I recommend never aiming directly at your destination. Always keep it a little above or below the center of your screen. I have done it this way hundreds of times, and have only over-accelerated maybe once or twice at most.
Try it.

Cheers very helpful!

How come I never get vouchers when destroying federation ships at any others than eranin 2 federal distress beacon?

 

[Zarkon]

The vouchers should be visible in your ship's left control panel under the Mission's tab. If they are not showing up there, you may need to send in a trouble ticket.

I believe that, according to newsletter 41, the first true exploratory vessel will be the Asp - possibly released with beta 2. Until then, find the ship with the biggest jump range and grab that (I think it's the Anaconda but I'm probably mistaken!)
