Hey @CMDR Corleone, The challenge here I think will be to narrow down the culprit causing the drop out of the USB ports. Is is the HOTAS, is it the mouse or another device or possibly the mainboard or other hardware. A couple further things to...

I'll echo that clarity on the s is amazing, kept same settings and the text looks great, a significant step up from the rift (which had some of the better text legibility in elite already) Screen door is still there, but it's smaller, god rays...

The cargo generated is random, but typically in the mid-value range - a few thousand credits, sometimes the tens-of-thousands stuff like platinum, narcotics, or the planet-source-only minerals. Many veterans from 2.0 will remember the days when...

Getting a bit off-topic, but geez I wish some of the scan/destroy PP missions used Goliaths more... If you're target is a High Security +++ facility, it's pretty tough to take them out in an SRV considering all the other turret/skimmer fire...

Atmosphere and plants in Elite: Dangerous. It exists. Greenery

The Anti Xeno Initiative is more interested in the Advanced Missiles, and will support Segnen Exchange. We believe this will be a far more useful weapon than the Multicannon against the Xeno-threat. If you wish to know why, take a look at this...

After fighting sentinels, skimmers are EzPz

The idea of having visible ship components and subcomponents that take damage and can be replaced is pretty cool. But they really need to stop adding features and get the game out there because once people start playing that's when you get a...

Are you hostile to the faction who owns it? If you're Hostile (Rep), things will open fire without scan, instantly. Also, how are your ships fit? My tank-ship (Krait MK2) usually has no trouble tanking the damage Megaships/Installations throw at...

Just noticed myself how far the other outpost is from the Conflict Zones... like Rainbro said, this way Zende is set up to win. FD could’ve just put another set of CZs near Indigo Dock (or put the station near the other one), but they either...

Thats true, Still hybrids are not really a thing for me the only hybrid I really like is the spinoraptor

Space Legs = Unnecessary addition to the core game concept = scope creep Don't make the same mistake as Star Citizen, and keep piling on side quest features that are not central to the concept of the game. That is when you get lost in an endless...

Hello Frontier! Here is my idea regarding how to easily implement pack hunting. Step 1: Have one carnivore engage in the normal fight/stand-off with the selected prey. Step 2: Meanwhile, another pack member (or members if possible) sneaks up...

Elite is a bad game because OP died. That shouldn't happen.

You can spam SCBs on a lot of ships that aren't shield tanks. And you can have a shield tank without any SCB. My point is the base shield factor of the T10 stinks.

Whatever weapon manufacturer wins, it will be interesting to try them out on their first days out, but then ppl will revert back to their old builds. AX Large turrets will still be king against scouts and Gauss will still be the best option for...

6 Phosphorous, 2 Arsenic, 2 Mercury, 1 Guardian Power Cell, 1 Guardian Power Conduit, 1 Guardian Tech Component just to use AX ammo. Who in their right mind would ever use these instead of saving the mats for engineering? If people are set on...

New gameplay? New mechanics? Why when you can just bolt togethor X year old (tired) mechanics and introduce yet more weapons to "improve" the paper-scissors-stone-lizard combat to paper-scissors-stone-lizard-spock combat...

I could have sworn I heard something in the initial announcements about these Initiatives utilising new mechanics and scenarios. The Aeon Span installation in the CG system would have been perfect for the already existing Pirate Attack scenarios...

Personally, I refuse to go for a walk because there are people out there using buses. I'm boycotting my feet.

I wonder if the Ecto-1 will be a car choice in the go carts like the Munsters?!

A little more info... After engaging a skimmer at small planetary POI's it will follow you but their weapons are pretty weak. Basic SRV rounds fired from the turret will easily take them out. I don't even bother moving the SRV with two pips to...

Depends on the pilot (always) and engineering... The Kraits and the Alliance ships are very capable boats. The Krait Mk2 seems to be the people’s champion at the moment... The Mamba seems to be struggling to capture people’s interest. On a...

Hehee o7

Always love to be the one to bump an ancient thread :) I don't remember what put me onto this thread (Alec's best of ED Forums?) - but I read the entire thing in one go - every single post - and the (now two+ year old) triumphant rescue video...

my worry is what ever FD do it will be gimped due to trying not to annoy the "but it was so much faster than before" folk. example. i would say it would be cool if when our ship is shot to hell we have to shut down, go into eva and do repairs...

Good luck with that!

I'll do ya one better. PvP fit FDL with an armored C4 plant. 1100 mj shields, 2100 armor, boosts 583. I flew this in wing fights and it was very effective.
