There are several factions in blight with no assets and therefore no market - just look at the two systems in full blight reported above, LFT 37 and Ensoreus - therefore the state can not be tied to fertilizer sales. No market, no sale.

Engineering the Frame Shift Drive is always a good thing even for ships usually considered combat specialists such as the Vulture, after that the Power Distributor and then shields followed by almost everything else. The thing is that there are...

agreed,personally id like 1 hour-1 month. And id love this customization tool,so everyone could do it their way

I use a docking cpu and SC assist on my trading vessels, as the convenience is worth more to me then the extra 20t or so of cargo. I wouldn't call it training wheels per se, as flying in supercruise and docking is about as difficult as brushing...

The ADS populated the system map so that explorer could choose which planets to visit and scan. They could choose to only visit ELWs, Green Gas Giants etc. But with the demise of the ADS, the only way to get a visual on a planet is to scan it...

Thanks guys <3 I'm done early today! It's the Golden Poison Frog who we spotted in Frontier's latest video! Source: https://twitter.com/tigglesaurus/status/1186241151533305856

Because it is fun

Fair enough, I hadn't realised that change had happened. I do still think this would be like gaining exploration elite by scanning nothing but undiscovered systems in the bubble, or trade elite by hauling nothing but biowaste though. I'm sure...

IIRC the idea and even betatest of diminishing returns on HD shield boosters as well as resistance boosters was quite well receieved by the community actually, save for very few single voices. Still FD didn't go through and never talked about it...

Well, you can gain exploration rank by only scanning previously discovered bodies (road to riches) and trade by hauling biowaste (I presume... :) ) But sure, for combat it will be very slow. The chart posted above shows that you always got some...

there's a video of someone using this to launch themselves into orbit in an SRV ages ago. it's not new. Also if you kill a ship near a planet (or just drop some cargo) it will "fall" towards the planet.

I tried that, at one stage. I started off fitting my Cutter with minimal weapons "just for defence" but then I found myself getting into fights I couldn't finish. After that I figured I'd remove all the weapons from it, to remove any incentive...

Nope, not new. See also: Speedbowling Some of those Speedbowlers are doing 4100m/s, threading the needle between two towers of a circular surface port

If you're looking for an icy body with pink streaks you had to approach it to determine that, even back in the ADS days. The System Map doesn't provide that level of detail, so the FSS has actually improved the search for those, since you don't...

This has been around for awhile, I remember this happening months ago

Nope. Have had my Vette WAY faster than a buckyball courier.

Thank you! I think that when someone manages to achieve something so extraordinary and also decides to translate it into languages certainly not as widespread as English (like Italian) to allow more people to play... thanks are the least that...

Ну планета - не корабль, вставить некуда как бы :D Но, однако, от FD можно ожидать любой стелс-технологии :)

К слову про не видели. В Элите1 был модуль Cloaking Device. И мне вроде помнится что как то в Elite Gal News писали про какой то корабль невидимку. Почему не заюзать этот модуль на всю планету ?

Hello Commanders, and welcome to the twenty-sixth Featured Commanders thread of 2019! This week we're talking to a collection of writers, editors, videographers, photographers, designers, voice actors, and artists from all over the Elite...

? Hans isn't imitating Hans, or is he now, in opposite to about a gazillion of wannabe composers painting by numbers, and no, I am quite fond of both, Williams and Zimmer.

Ahoy there, when you test out different SLFs or loadouts, you always have to set the livery up anew. Why not just ask the user, if the livery, excluding the paintjob, should be kept. That's save some hassle.

Thanks

just my opinion, but there’s literally NO reason to leave the guns at home in this game
