You literally said "from the ganked person's perspective, which i have been a couple of times, it really makes no difference if you can boost or not". Omitting that "if you don't build your ship to withstand an attack" completely changes the...

Every day is a school day :)

As someone who uses drag a lot, this seems very poorly thought out.

I just wanted to thank you for sharing this information. I had to make a 5000 Ly trip (to unlock Palin) and chose a destination that takes me through these systems. I used a material trader before heading out on the trip to take all 6 of the...

We've watched all their streams, how could the dev team realistically be expected to have the remotest clue as to the nuances and complexities of FA Off combat? Or for that matter how this will dramatically improve ganking conditions against...

TIL it is called "attacking the ignorance" of another poster if you clearly and explicitly explain the ramifications of a game mechanic change and then note that nearly all other pilots experienced with the content in question agree with you...

I am 100% behind the idea of making materials available for purchase only at Explorer's Anchorage for no other reason than to witness the complete meltdowns over it.

If your ship can be destroyed in a matter of seconds then it's not built and piloted to escape from ganking anyway. The update is largely irrelevant in such cases because easy pickings are easy pickings with or without drag munitions. This will...

It really is incredible to see, though, that every single person I've fought with or against in this game comes down on one side of the issue and people I've never heard of or met PvPing in game are on the other side. Really makes you wonder who...

Indeed, as Bob says, you do not need to ever relog at biological sites, there are so many nodes ou could fill your materials 3 times over from a single site. The trouble of course, is that they are a long way away... I produced this biological...

i like this idea. besides we should have plenty of them because we don't use all submodels and yes there are a few empty lots. but it would be possible, maybe buffet could trick such better? I'm not sure if the changing in the vector model will...

You don't need to relog when you can fill your entire hold in one go. Just saying... I'm at 150 ea polonium and technetium right now. Easy breezy!

Not sure that'd be the smart move in this case. I mean, if FDev come out and disavow that "roadmap" they are, effectively, confirming that space-legs isn't happening any time soon - which probably isn't going to help retain the interest of all...

I've been doing a LOT of this. It is indeed much better. The trick to getting G4s, is to go to a Pristine system with a metal rich body that has volcanism (use eddb.io) and ideally, ONLY the G4 raw you want. This is because needle crystals...

I was low on some mats such as selenium (as always), so last night I decided to go to my bookmarked planet for selenium and see how this works with the new tools. I read something on these forums about geological features as a source of raw...

Most of us are acutely aware of the limitations of frags and many of us still remember combat before Engineering. The arguments about potential counters and tactics to use in a post-drag-buff game are neither here nor there. Every player who...

If he weren't trying to argue with people that actually know what they're talking about and tell them they're wrong, I'm not sure I'd have an issue at all.

Any of you folks like Everspace? I know it isn't Elite Dangerous, but is it fun?

Clearly Duck is having a lot of fun here while forum PvPers are having big heartburn caused by dragging. :)

Check out No Man’s Sky, my dude. It’s a crafting/survival game set in space. Elite is more focused on the ships and piloting, and has a better flight model to accommodate that.

I liked No Man's Sky ;-;

Ah yes. PD and ECM. The two modules no one uses because one has a ridiculously high cooldown and needs at least a pair to be useful and the other can barely knock down a single seeker flying in a straight line. Fascinating.

I know this sounds incredibly dorky to ask for a space ship game, but I want to be able to customize the interior/living space of my ship, or at least the flight deck. Invite friends over and hang out just floating in space.

Yeah but it's a space-ship game init

Just scanned this thread after a long, hard day at work, and I have to say it is really amazing. Ziljan, buddy, the size and density of your spaceballs is simply out of this world. How you keep from throwing your back out while packing them...

Procompsognathus would be nice as that is in the book canon, but it is too small unfortunately, unless perhaps they make a small dinosaur update.

Doubt it. I'm not the one whose ships are being wrecked in seconds.

Elephant Butt Leather is a Drag Munition.. A real drag, man. It also gives me a huge advantage in PvP, so we need to fix it ASAP!

Well we've got a dude insisting the drag munition won't make any difference for ganking, and also claiming experience with one of the least common most useless experimentals in the game, so probs we both need to go back to PvP skool cuz clearly...
