The Yoohoo, I've seen you in Alpha thread (post your screenies here)

I keep bumping into Kroy. Managed to kill him...but he was fighting with someone else at the time and didn't see me.
How unsporting of you. So far I've only watched the duels, only engaging if fired at. Or attacked lone (not already engaged in a fight) ships, like a couple of NPCs in "Free for All" and then gotten myself killed or game crashed. :)
 
I've seem a fair few people (I'm Corvus Muninn), and have already gained a nemesis! They shall remain anonymous for now until I've got sweet revenge :p!

I've not screenied (maybe tomorrow), but I've seen Frogs' Friend, Andrew Sayers, Slawkenbergius (with a serious bounty in the mining scenario :p!), Chronos, Tux.

I successfully defended the capital with only insanephoton for company :D
I reckon you nemesis is the dreaded ASTEROID! :p

 
Some more from last night

Marx, A Snail, Azalea, Fozz Forrester, Redden Alt Mer and Aleph One

I remember killing Kerrash and withnail... quite a few other names I can't remember or didn't recognise. If anyone remembers killing Raven, that was me... I have not the slightest clue who got me! :p
 
I killed Mobius, PhoenixDfire and Fozza late last night. Also received a few hits myself ;) (Commander Grey, btw) Any tips for how to find people? Mining seems to be the most reliable scenario, but you can't just go attacking people there unless they're naughty (getting bounties from people is nice though!)

Darn you! I didn't even know who it was sometimes. :)

I'll be watching out for you .... ;)
 
Chances are that most of you got a kill in on me... CMDR Deadwoods. I've been mostly floating around with the basic loadouts -- the 100 credit model with gimbal'd laser is actually not too bad in the free-for-alls.
 
My multiplayer says:

Server: 79.125.11.123:19364[unconnected]

and the multiplayer option is in red. I'm using the new client and uninstalled the old one so wondering if the MP servers are down. Anyone on there at the moment?

Multiplayer/Networking issues

I’m encountering a consistent issue with multiplayer and want to write a
ticket for it. What should I include?

First and foremost, the more information you can include about the issue, the
better. The second and just as important part of this is that you attach the
Network Log to the ticket you’re writing. This can be found in your game
directory. For example –

C:\Program Files
(x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1000\_netwokLog.txt

Attach the _networkLog.txt to the ticket as this will greatly aid us in
finding the root of your multiplayer issue.

I can't connect to a multiplayer game. How can I fix this?

If the multiplayer option on the menu is red and you can’t select it, it
could be down to a number of issues. We will take note of everything that might
cause this and update the Knowledge Base regularly to ensure that everyone is
able to get into multiplayer as soon as possible.

Should I allow access through my firewall?

Yes. When first launching the game Windows may ask you wish to allow the
program to communicate through private and/or public networks. Be sure that you
allow for both.

If you do not permit both of these options then you must go into your
firewall settings and allow the program to communicate through Windows Firewall
both for private and public networks.

I have Avast Antivirus, what should I check?

Set your Avast Antivirus to gaming mode. This should give you access to
multiplayer.

What router settings do I need to connect to multiplayer?

In order to support Multiplayer, Elite Dangerous requires a UDP port
forwarded to, and from the internet.

For most modern routers, Elite Dangerous attempts to use Universal Plug and
Play (UPnP), so this should work by default for the majority of our players.
First check to see if the UPnP feature is enabled on your router, and turn it on
if it isn’t.

However, if your router, firewall or security software does not support UPnP,
or you prefer to configure the port manually, then you'll need to configure the
port forwarding, and then tell Elite Dangerous where it is on the internet and
which UDP port it should use. See “How do I set up port forwarding” below.

How do I set up port forwarding?

If your router doesn’t support UPnP or you need to configure the port
manually, this short guide should help. Please be aware that Frontier
Developments cannot offer assistance with configuring specific routers or
security software, please refer to the software's documentation or the
manufacturer's support website.

http://portforward.com/ is a useful third-party
website that includes a lot of community guides to configure port forwarding on
many models of routers.

1) Select an available UDP port, e.g. UDP/5100

2) Configure 'Port Forwarding' or 'Application access' on your router so that
your chosen UDP port on your internet IP address is forwarded to your computer's
IP address on the same UDP port

3) Locate your game installation, by default it installs to C:\Program Files
(x86)\Frontier\EDLaunch\Products\, but it might be different on your
computer

4) Edit AppConfig.xml in Notepad and make the following changes:

5) Change Port="0" to your chosen UDP port, e.g. Port="5100"

6) Change UpnpEnabled="1" to UpnpEnabled="0"

7) Add a new line before the "</Network>" entry that includes your own
internet IP address and chosen port number, e.g.

<Self name="my computer" ip="1.2.3.4" port="5100" />


If you're not sure what your public internet IP address is, Google's search
can help you. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=what+is+my+IP+address%3F

Many home ADSL internet connections will change their IP address from time to
time, so if the multiplayer stops working after a time, you might need to double
check that your IP address is still correct in AppConfig.xml
