The only thing you can do with A-rated conda is grind even harder, possibly powerplay.

The only saving grace for the Keelback is that the flavor text for it says that it can carry a fighter on it, so atleast if they ever release the update to allow big ships to carry small ships, you can use the Keelback as a budget taxi or hobo carrier.

Why the fuck does the Asp Scout even exist. As if the fucking Explorer wasn't a piece of shit enough as it is.

I don't understand how people deal with PowerPlay. I really, really don't understand how people can devote their entire game time to working powerplay and grinding merits for the piss poor rewards. Even from a fucking RP perspective, you get no feedback from what you're doing other than your blob will MAYBE expand or stay the same next week.

>>128632723
If you want to do powerplay even remotely serious you need to sign up for reddit, join dad groups, join their RP groups after enough harassment, do soul-crushing trade routes timed perfectly to the merit regen, stare at spreadsheets, spend 10 hours MINIMUM on the game, and generally just sell your soul to braben.
But at that point, maybe, just maybe you'll have contributed 10-20% to conquering a system and you can feel a little bit better about yourself, maybe.

>>128632723
>>all i can do is pick up shit from the HQ and take it to other systems

The thing that grinds my gears most about Dads is that a lot of them simply play the game "for the pretty sights." As you are looking at the stars themselves instead of procedurally generated background and heightmaps.

>>128632723
Because I made 10billion in assets joining a group for faction pvp like undermining and ambush crime sweeps. I seriously don't know why /edg/ has such a hard on for Robigo when it was needed to shit after sothis. You can make 40mil in an hour doing bounty hunting or 20mil with buddies and mixing in pvp while you bounty hunt.

Doesn't that overcapacitate your power?

Just got the Viper MkIV for my bounty hunting obsession. Now bounty hunting isn't satisfying my upgrade greed. What do? I'm not good enough to move up to high risk RES, so I've been going after high value targets in the lows. Killed two pythons in the same dogfight in a Sidewinder with burst laser and a cannon, both gimballed.

>>128644171
I thought you said you had all A grade, you should have plenty of power for the weapons.

Your plasma and large lasers will crush hopes and dreams, you don't really need much else tbqh, the turrets will mainly be used for the cheeky cunts trying to fly around you.

>>128654730

I have hope that they will drop some LSD or something and have a moment of enlightenment and realize that they need to drop the PilotsFed rank requirements and that each minor faction needs to have their own individual set of 4-10 missions so that you have quite a bit to choose from, depending on what is going on in the system. But of course this is Ftroop we're talking about so they'll probably keep everything the way it is, just add some pretty randomly generated faces to go with the bugged missions.

I jumped in and there was a DBE screaming for help while a 7 eagle wing warped in and started shooting at him. As soon as I blasted one they all focused my ass. Pretty hectic.

Shit part though as soon as I blasted the eagles, another squad of 7 vipers/cobras warped in, just barely killed them when I saw 7 condas warp in after I just fucking high waked the fuck out of that.

>>128656196

That's supposed to be torpedo pylons, not missiles. A salvo of 4x torps deals 600 hull damage instantly.

How many fighters can the big ships carry? I imagine if Braben actually implemented it properly, a wing of people on a corvette or Cutter could all chill on the bridge before launching from the main ship.

Been testing out random ships for the hell of it. With the limited amount of ships this game has, FD need to seriously flesh out the advantages and drawbacks of each one.

>Why do you think that exploration should be so profitable as smuggling?
It has to do with incentivization. In game design, you have to figure out how to properly motivate a player into participating in, or accomplishing a task you set in front of them, they way you usually do this is by offering either ingame rewards or fun. The problem with exploration is that the incentives don't make it worthwhile versus other tasks in the game on a reward/time spent basis. Exploration is a huge time investment, but the reward you get for that investment is paltry compared to other tasks available in game, especially considering that those tasks take considerably less time.That's not to say that Exploration should make as much as other professions, given it's relative safety, but it's rewards should be much higher than for the investment it takes.

TL;DR: Exploration isn't worth the time, and if you explore, you're basically shooting yourself in the foot.

tl;dr of game design rant

Exploration is low risk ergo low reward

Smuggling is high risk high reward

>>128669267
Except that's an oversimplification. We're not dealing with just risk and reward, there's also time investment, there's a reason why the viability of a task in ED is often measured in Cr/H. The problem with Exploration is that it's low risk/low reward/ high time investment, similar to mining, while you have things like trading, which is low risk/high reward/low time investment. ED's amount of risk is also entirely fucked up which exacerbates the problem, Smuggling is only high risk because the game arbitrarily send goon squad of magic authority vessels out to hunt you, which is easily countered by just killing you're game process or pointing your ass toward the sun, Smuggling is also only high reward if you're doing something like the Robigo Run, which obviously wasn't intended by the devs, so as intended, smuggling is intended high risk but actually low risk/ low reward/ low time investment, which sounds pretty fucked up to me.

I disagree with you a lot but I'm going to try to not write a novella as a response. Forgib if I do, fampai.

>Exploration is that it's low risk/low reward/ high time investment

Yes, because in a given second your chances of being fucked up are very low. So of course it takes a long time to get paid reasonably. You're not doing anything illegal, you're far from players and NPC spawns, etc.


> low risk/high reward/low time investment

Yes, it takes less time because in a given second your odds of being fucked up are a lot higher. You're fighting players or NPCs for loot, or illegally salvaging, and it only takes a couple seconds for a fed to scan you or a player to bump you outside the station and the whole run was for nothing.

I agree about the Robigo run but I disagree that smuggling is low risk/low reward, I think it's pretty high risk wherever you choose to do it and the reward is reasonable because it doesn't take much to git gud at hitting the mail slot quickly and coldly. Why do you think it's currently low/low?

>Yes, because in a given second your chances of being fucked up are very low. So of course it takes a long time to get paid reasonably. You're not doing anything illegal, you're far from players and NPC spawns, etc.
My point was is that the amount of reward you get for the amount time you invest isn't proportional. If you're going to have a low risk task in a game that takes a long time, you need to make sure that the rewards you give for that task are proportional to the amount of time it takes. Exploration is worth fuck all right now as pointing out by mister "I made 200 million in a week exploring" where he could have just done the similarly low risk task of trading and made the same amount in a quarter of the time.

> low risk/high reward/low time investment
This was referring to trading. Smuggling right now is obviously not how the devs intend it to work, though the way they want it to work is actually much worse, and honestly I think the rewards you get for regular smuggling are basically garbage considering the risk unless you're doing bulk illegal trading.

>>128674068
to get easy early game dosh get some cargo space and salvage shit illegaly

>>128674783
Here's how it's done. You go to Robigo (Or Fehu if you're Empire) and run one mission. Now you'll have enough to A fit a Cobra if you use the Oriental discount. Now go back and load up on missions. Complete then without spazzing out and you'll have enough to A fit your DBS.

Keep doing this. By the end of the day, you'll have an A grade long jump Asp to make the runs easier plus two of whatever your favorite mid tier ships are

No it's not. No ship in this game has a damage model. The ships do have damage visuals though, in that the ship will look different once it's damaged enough, but this has no gameplay bearing, only visual.

Space Engineers has a damage model; when a missile hits or a ship rams another ship a big, gaping hole gets torn. You can't target the pylon on an Imperial Clipper and blow the nacelle off in that manner.

>>128675498
you're mom is a slut

Hey newbie in the Eagle

Ignore the robigo stuff for now.

Find a system with ringed planets, go there and look for "Resource Extraction Sites" or RES, go into any one of them that doesn't say "Hazardous"

Follow the local space police around while they fly around shooting at wanted NPCs and get the last few hits off on the wanted NPC before it explodes and you'll collect the full bounty.

Once you work up enough money from that then you can buy something to haul slaves from Robigo once you're comfortable with quitting to system menu or force killing the game process to avoid the bullshit NPC spawns to stop you from smuggling slaves.

>>128675498

sadly, yes considering that every faction is the exact same. the only difference is that anime club class president girl has more members, so obviously she will be a bigger threat.

just use your imagination anon and imagine that those clippers flying around spouting reddit memes and MUH PRINCESS are actually hardened, iron-skinned pirates that are out to destroy the peaceful ecosystem of eravate.

No ships have damage models. The Anaconda has a damage MESH which means after the ship takes a certain amount of damage it will look different. This doesn't affect you as a player at all, and there is no way to damage one area aesthetically but not another, you get "hurt" the same no matter how or where you get hurt.

The Anaconda does have damage states for the model itself but they stopped at that ship. Also the parts that blow off are predetermined at various hull%s and not related to where they get hit.

I'm pretty sure your cargo doesn't fly out if the cargo hold is torn open by damage states either.

Is there a way to increase the size of the stars on galaxy map (0 population ones)?

It is quite horrible to select only few type of stars in filters and struggle to see them as their 'radius' dot seems to be low.

Also, I noticed a "field of view" sphere on galaxy map, that no matter how much you zoom off, you won't be able to display the stars after that sphere. Is there a way to change that?

Also, can't colours be changed on filter map? it seems like a nightmare color choice for some filter selection.

That's because the trailer lies. It lies blatantly. That is not how actual combat looks like in the game at all.

I'm a bit new to this game. When do you see other players? Most of the time while I'm out doing quests and such and landing in ports, I can' find another singe player. I seriously doubt they put players in different instances. Chances are that its just because the world is so big.

Either way, I'm just curious. Is there a way to see/interact with players more? I mean the first time a bandit tried to rob me, I didn't realize it was a NPC. I tried talking to it and talking my way out of being robbed...

>>128736661
>I seriously doubt they put players in different instances. Chances are that its just because the world is so big.

It's both.

Also the game is not really built to be multiplayer.

>>128736661
It's both poor instancing and space being too fucking big.

ELITE originally only had about fifty colonized systems, I have no idea why they decided to go the way they did with the already shitballs instancing. I see like 1-2 people per hour around primetime unless I head to Sol or Robigo.

>>128738532

Yep, definitely a planetary port. I'm not sure at what range they pop up, though. Contrast space-borne ports, which broadcast their location throughout the whole system.

Would be interesting if you had to physically locate it on the planet's surface and drop out of orbital cruise on it before it shows up in nav/contacts.

Most ports are big enough that you can make them out from orbital cruise like 50KM up.

Yeah I just need to find the planet now, the one unexplored that was up is a star so i gotta get a scanner and ping around the system I guess.

I'll probably not even find it before I go to bed but at the very least I can sell the 52 things I got for some profit and I outfitted my hauler slightly better.

okay I have found wood lab it was across the system along with several other NOW scanned planets, thank you anons.

I'm beginning to think I've made a mistake with my fantastic 15 Ly jump and 4 jump tank range. At least I'm running an A5 fuel scoop.

Where's the fun in the autism of exploration if you aren't doing it in style? Anaconda has better jump range and outfitting options for exploring anyway, but neither can match the class of this cockpit.

>>128745773

>>128745773
I just know an asp fitted for exploration is 20 times cheaper than an anaconda fitted for the same, and if you're flying an orca around doing stupid shit like this who knows how much money you have.

Play CQC and use the Imperial Fighter.

That's the closest you'll get to the trailer.

am I becoming autistic or did that bother anyone else?

Okay I'm a new player. Every time I play open, I get my ship with the vehicle, want to try a short delivery mission, but before I reach my destination I always get fucking shut down. Three times this has happened. Should it be this hard for new players to finish a fucking delivery quest? Should I just play solo till I get a decent ship?

You can, although not in-game. You need to contact the devs by e-mail to get it started. There's info on the gulag.

what you have is already considered meaningful by the dads

>>128762340

Isnt the vote almost equally split between people who do and dont want player guilds/clans/factions?

Not that it matters since any meaningful player guild interaction would be shot in the foot since you have open/solo/group shared universes. It'll never happen other than begging devs to add your faction in so you can do endless BB missions for them for MUH RP

If you really want to piss off dads, organize in a group server or solo to flip the BGS against faction faggots like Adle's Armada in Eravate. You can easily do this by just killing authority ships and doing pirate missions

It's laughable how shitty missiles are.they should do the second best hull damage per shot for their size class, behind torpedoes. I heard the were amazing in beta and actually warranted all the counter measure there are against them.

But they were too good and the dads cried so loud they are nerfed to darkest stygian pit and will never get out.
Much like we will never get large and huge railguns or anything cool that does actual damage.

I just encountered a true cancer Cobra a.k.a most annoying build ever.
>Bi-weave with rail and MC

Jesus fuck I brought his hull down to 1% and he just boosts away. Wish I had taken FDL there instead of bulky FAS.

>>128763514
>What this game needs

Is a good developer. Since you're not getting that, anything else is just a lot of pointless fanwank.

>>128763514
>MORE missiles
It needs less missiles but for them to be buffed, a ship to ship missile should do a lot of damage but have low capacity and cost a tonne as opposed to how it is now where 48 missiles does less damage than the equivalent amount of Multicannon bullets

I wish there was a Gorgon-Peterson space van at higher levels, the FDL is disappointingly un-spacevan-y for a GP ship.

Who told you that it was for anything else but PvP?

having just played the original, one missile will fuck anything up, including you, but it costs a bit and you have very limited ammo,

it works well

look for a system that is controlled by space trump (not exploited) and turn them in there on a station (I think it's in contacts->power contact)

look at the galactic powers overlay, click on space trump, there you see how many merits you need for a rank up

100 merits alone will bring you 20% more bounty
