That's what I did at first. I boosted out and launched a fighter while my shields recharged and I considered whether to risk failing the mission(s). I also feel like the K-warrant scanner attracts further cop attention so I passed by and zapped the Python with it as he was distracted. I definitely recommend fast scan engineering to anyone who tries the K-warrant. So much better.You should run like the wind, boost like mad until the NPC cops show up then turn and fight. My Krait will boost 470 m/s, good enough for NPC's.
That's something I've considered since I still have the 4:3 monitor from my first Dell. One thing they seem to have built to last. Though I'm not sure whether it would stop my GPU fan sounding like an F-14 Tomcat from time to time as I switch to browser.I do, 2 monitors, 1 fairly new and an older one for browser etc.
Welcome back, Odyssey was buggy in the beginning, but it has gotten a lot better through the years.Greetings all,
My entries in this thread are sporadic, but they go back to the beginning. When Odyssey was released it coincided with my latest Elite burn out. As Odyssey was coming in for landing, I departed, entering my longest break at two years. In that time I kicked around firing Elite up, but the thought of having to remap everything, re-synch everything and who knows what else made me hesitant.
The release of the new Python however was the catalyst to say screw it, let's give it a go. As it turns out my fears were unfounded, as no remapping was required. Cougar, Crosswinds and everything worked straight away. Better than it used to be!
I really like the new ship, engineered it and having fun in PvE combat. I had left the game just 10 percent short of Elite, so that's a goal (very close now)
I also find motivation in chasing Inara badges and ranks. So with the Python taking over as my preferred PvE ship, I swapped one of my Kraits over to an AX ship, and spent a few days checking out the thargoid wars. I've seen many new bug types, battled them, all the while chasing the xeno hunter badge. I tried all sorts of things in various thargoid controlled, invasion and alert systems, like combat aftermath, NHSS, AX weapon fire and the best way to kill scouts, high AX conflict zones. Killed a hunter in a 1 v 1, with no shields and half my hull left. Had fun with this, a lot of effort has gone in to it I think, and I like that the goids have been brought closer to home. I helped 'win' three invasion systems, kicked the bugs out. Hard to know what effect my efforts had, but it felt like I was making a difference, killing bugs and rescuing escape pods.
After exceeding the total to get the badge I saw Odyssey is marked down so bought it. I never wanted this in Elite, but now it's there, so why not have a bash? And it's not bad. Been having some fun with the ground conflict zones, running salvage missions, raid missions and sampling the various options. Next, I want to get out in the black and try out the exploration and exobiology side to the expansion.
So that's what I've been up to.
Bookmark this page, click on the species and it matches types with atmosphere's.
I currently use EDO Materials helper a lot, it's great for ship engineering, (finding materials and engineers) and even has a ship editor nowadays.I honestly don't know how I coped with eco without Elite Observatory.
It has made me think how much QoL.could be added to the game if some of the third party tools could be incorporated.
If I could nominate some, it would be Elite Observatory, EDDiscovery and EDHM UI.
But, maybe, they are just better as they are.
The screenshot @Tyres O'Flaherty included is the BioInsights plug-in which is a superb tool, it doesn’t use your browser so don’t know if it is manageable or not before you upgrade.Frutexa found and arrested. Fungoids still on the loose.
Would be helpful if I knew which of them I am hunting...
The ’Conda’s damage model is absolutely the best thing about it.I got my second rebuy earlier after that initial ganking in Deciat a month or so back. £10M for my beloved Krait. It can be so annoying and demoralising even if you have the cash.
The first battle was with a Fer de lance and Anaconda which left my hull at 38% so I headed to a station with more bounty mission spam to go.
I was interdicted by another tag team and killed the Fer de Lance, but my instinct is for a little destruction derby during battle and I shoulder barged a Phython's rear wing while my hull was at 10%. Insta-death.
I do like how the Anaconda explodes in stages though. It really helps add scale to the ship. Not that smaller ships don't explode in stages. It's just that there's no chance of recovery due to their size.
Well in addition to their drinking fuel and turning it into huge heat levels it looks like travelling that fast also increases Integrity damage which makes sense as you get that by super cruising, so you get a bigger bill to fix it after docking or your ship becomes more likely to pick up damage when hit.This is something I've only noticed casually but it seems like SCO drives have better jump distances. If that's true, then is the only downside that they're more expensive?
Which was the default state when you started, I believe some of the organised AX groups insist on it being turned off to avoid friendly fire upsetting something.The cops only show up if you enable the "Report Crimes" option in one of the tabs in the right panel...
You can mitigate the GPU fan sound by playing using headphones or ear buds.That's something I've considered since I still have the 4:3 monitor from my first Dell.

I'm running the game and all the tools I need on a Laptop that, according to the minimum requirements, shouldn't even be able to run the game, let alone any tools alongside.I do, 2 monitors, 1 fairly new and an older one for browser etc.
I find E.D.D.I. irreplaceable, especially when integrated with VoiceAttack. Being informed about ship events as they happen greatly enhances the flying experience.I honestly don't know how I coped with eco without Elite Observatory.

Reminds me of my old computer. Though that one sounded more like a Flying Fortress on level flight with its seven chassis fans in addition to the four internal fans (CPU,GPU and power supply)...Though I'm not sure whether it would stop my GPU fan sounding like an F-14 Tomcat from time to time as I switch to browser.
Works best if they have noise cancelling, as I've heard...You can mitigate the GPU fan sound by playing using headphones or ear buds.
That name rings a bell, albeit a faint one... I usually run EDCopilot while playing. It doesn't tell me which specific species to expect, though.The screenshot @Tyres O'Flaherty included is the BioInsights plug-in which is a superb tool, it doesn’t use your browser so don’t know if it is manageable or not before you upgrade.
0threeleven's inglorious death was worth it if it helps us feel immersed within the game. I salute him. o7 o>The ’Conda’s damage model is absolutely the best thing about it.
It would be fantastic if they introduced similar levels of damage modelling for the other ships.
I was really just thinking about the jump range though, even if you don't hit the boost button. Are they better than a normal drive for that purpose?Well in addition to their drinking fuel and turning it into huge heat levels it looks like travelling that fast also increases Integrity damage which makes sense as you get that by super cruising, so you get a bigger bill to fix it after docking or your ship becomes more likely to pick up damage when hit.

Technically, yes. I just don't like the idea of my computer tower blowing up besides me or having to wear a weird headphone/earphone setup so I can hear podacasts while I'm playing.You can mitigate the GPU fan sound by playing using headphones or ear buds.
I swear this is a new thing. I used to be able to Windows key out of a game and it'd be fine in the background with no noise.Reminds me of my old computer. Though that one sounded more like a Flying Fortress on level flight with its seven chassis fans in addition to the four internal fans (CPU,GPU and power supply)...
I see two possible reasons for this sound. Either some dust has settled on some parts of the fan blades, causing an imbalance. Or some debris got stuck in there, causing that sound.I swear this is a new thing. I used to be able to Windows key out of a game and it'd be fine in the background with no noise.
I'm kind've a newbie though and only got back into 'gaming' during furlough. I'm no expert.
Headphones can get quite uncomfortable in warm conditions (sweaty ears).Technically, yes. I just don't like the idea of my computer tower blowing up besides me or having to wear a weird headphone/earphone setup so I can hear podacasts while I'm playing.

Noise-cancelling earbuds could help there?
