but the good news is it went active again without a cooldown

True but moot where your proposal is concerned - I think. While your initial thought might not have been fleshed out, the seed of the idea has been around for a while. In essence, you already can kind of do what you are asking for in a...

I was in the Diaguandri system recently, and found I needed some arsenic. The local chart showed that metal-rich B1 had some so I set off to have a look. While roaming the surface, I noticed some scan results appearing on the upper edge of the...

I tried that but was never offered a navy mission, although I didn't try it very long.

Elite will never "die". It is never going to be DOOMED. Why? Because there's hundreds, likely thousands of people who will keep playing no matter how poorly, slowly, and half-bakedly developed it is. Because "I play in VR and i just like to...

One thing to consider when using efficient beams, is that they suffer from some pretty killer damage fall off. By 1 kilometer, their damage is roughly equal to a standard, unmodified beam laser. With Overcharged, your range extends to about...

This was one of the combinations I tried. Fun, but I didn't think it was effective enough against shields, especially Clipper and above. I also don't like the fact that they get so out of sync since the corrosive mod lowers mag capacity and...

^^^^^^ Exactly this ! Equip Economy Class Cabins to the roof and you'll be able to evac 162 PAX w/ an Anaconda even with max Shields. Even more if the Shield Gen is dropped a class. Then visit a burning Station in a System with alot of Empire...

Now if somebody releases a show called "Reynolds" (or Malcolm or Mal) with the retired captain of my favorite Firefly-class ship, along with his companion Inara and 100 fat children running around on his ranch, well... You can bet on my pretty...

The numbers for efficient and oversized seem pretty great to me too, given the overall build and usage scenario I posted above.

Two efficient PAs. One dispersion field, on target lock breaker. If you're pve only, two OC gimballed mcs , one corrosive, one incendiary.

Efficient beams with thermal vent are amazing. FWIW, I also tried various engineering of pulse and burst, but the beams won hands-down. ps - these are surprisingly effective against Thargoid Scouts as well!

The basic game is an excellent achievement and its development has had its moments since; but there's also been much for which use of the term half-baked would be generous. Still, you're right: it's the VR experience that keeps me and I guess a...

Its a nice touch to have exclusive alphas within alphas to produce the pandering effect.

Rescue missions from an attacked station are actually useful life-saving activities, and also skyrocket your rank.

I think that it's from coriolis.io

Statistics matter when I make an argument. They do not matter when you make an argument. That's how statistics work. It's not rocket science.

The Interdimensional is based on the standard Mack spinning coaster, meaning it cannot invert. But I believe you want a Mack Xtreme Spinning Coaster (Silver Dollar City's Time Traveler), which is the version that can launch and invert.

I am playing through Steam, it's been working great so far. So, what I did so far: Try to find all files containing the word "journal" using the "locate" command (and yes I did an updatedb before using it); Try to see if some "Saved Games"...

Was that screen shot of Ted Striker taken over Macho Grande?

It looks like there is a little problem with opening a support ticket. I cannot install dxdiag in Wine. In any case, it would be completely irrelevant because Wine doesn't use DirectX to run Elite. Maybe that diagnostic tool can be useful in its...

Good morning all, I'm off to find Gan Romero. I know it's a fool's errand, but I have a hunch. It's clear that Gan is not simply deluded. Who is calling him and what he is delivering are the real question. New Krait MkII, 37.15Ly range...
