I still think we need to be lobbying for modularity on the polaris. It seems like the ship where role flexibility would be the most valuable, given its intermediate size and status.
>>
>>167510339
Another way to think of that is the Polaris may be the convoy master. I'm hoping that there will be a reason to leave a jump drive off and book passage for your ship on a carrier. My hope is that player pirates and blockades will force convoys between certain planets. I imagine you could make a mint just moving Prospectors and Auroras so they can get past Pyro or wherever the pirates are, safely.

3.0 in Desember
SQ42 in March 2018

Havent CIG told us all the time that the 3.0 team is seperated from the 2.6.X team?

The 2.6.X team gives a lot more info than what the 3.0 team is showing.

I understand they want to focus on the upcoming patch, but that patch aint got much going for it. They need to slip us something about the development of 3.0 to keep the hype.
>>
>>167512537
I reckon we'll get a progress report on 3.0 after 2.6.1 drops. Then we'll sit pretty for a month, then get an update on 2.6.2 which will give multiplayer megamap + some balance tweaks, ship updates, SM tweaks/updates (revive / some items (turrets holoduke stun grenades)- then we'll get 3.0 2-3 months later.
>>
>>167512537
I'm a little salty about the delays too, but I think you are a little long.

The last AtV did show more planetary progress, which actually looked fucking dope and is the first cratered moon surface we have seen, not to mention the plants. They obviously know about No Man's Lie, so I'm eager to see what they make of that. It should make this 1070 worth having.

I would like to see some ships drop with each of the 2.6.x patches. If they really have the pipeline moving like they say, we should be seeing more ships sooner than later. All the ships have to be Item 2.0 ready before 3.0 and a lot of them aren't.

/edg/ has been the dominate side since the Thargoids. Nothing will change that for at least a couple more weeks. You should enjoy your time, because the pendulum will start to move back the other way soon, and we will be carrying /edg/ again.

We can either live together or die separately. I gave /edg/ top billing like it deserves now. I propose we all get along and take a little pride in our dual general that has lasted a lot longer than it deserved.

Reminder to get your fat, easy rank passenger missions done before Frontier ruins them and you'll have to go back to scanning 3000 neutron stars.
>>
>>167523549
If you want active combat gameplay pick Elite. I didn't play SC so I dont know about that one. Eve combats are heavily dependant on stats like an actual rpg but they are pretty boring. You don't actually drive ships, it's like turn based where you manage the power supply between the different modules. Economy wise Eve is the best. Also if you want proper online interaction and base building Eve is also the best.

>I'd like to join a pvp player group in Elite but it seems really tedious to do it

That's because it is. The only way to PvP in Elite is pick a gimmick and then cheese the fuck out of it with Engineers because anyone else who PvPs also has all of their shit notched up, so the only way to compete is grade 5 all your components. Either that or interdict randoms in SC because you want to show /edg/ how cool you are. PvP in Elite is essentially redundant because of CQC.

>What is the scale of player involvement in wars/economy/lore?

If Frontier likes your group, then you have quite a bit of involvement. If they don't, get fucked. You have some agency in Powerplay but Powerplay is such a broken, meaningless mess that most people only do PP for the unique modules. There's next to no reason to do it otherwise, other than roleplay.

>Are there player groups at war for the control of a system?

No point because solo.

>Seems like ED severely lacks online interaction.

Understatement.

>>
>>167525195

>FAS/FGS/FDS
>shieldtank

Stop while you're ahead. Shields on either three of those ships are just a buffer before they get to your hull; the shields should never be your last line of defense. Those ships are meant for beefy hulltanks. Slap some hull reinforcements and a couple of module reinforcements. I personally go for a bi-weave shield gen on my dropship but if you go for a regular shield, put on a shield cell bank as well. Once you hull tank it, you can literally eat railguns in a CZ and your repair costs usually only go to 50k for 50% hull damage.
>>
>>167525207
I have a feeling that there will be more things added to the game that require Pilot's Federation ranks to unlock, so this out to take care of Exploration.

Like some kickass combat ship available for Elite rank pilots or something. Or a special FSD range upgrade for Elite explorers. Who knows, really.
>>
>>167525491
How long ago did you try it? It's a little easier than it used to be. It's probably not worth it until 3.0 unless you want to lock in a starter pack now before the price hikes again.

Not so long. Maybe 2 months.
>>
>>167525523
>hull reinforcements, a couple of module reinforcements, bi-weave
I already have those. But seeing how my 2k hull melts under direct fire, flying without shields makes me nervous.

>>
>>167525994

Try shield boosters? And melts how? My armor only really starts getting it's shit kicked when I'm getting fucked by 3 separate railguns because Braben hates me. On a 1v1 or even 2v1, I can out-tank any ship while I spray my hot steamy load of bullets all over their faces, atleast in PvE.
>>
>>167526068
Amphisatsu. Not specially-selected or anything though. Just a high population system with an allied faction seems to do it.
>>
>>167525979
If you're not going to wait until full release to buy it, there is no difference in waiting except you might pay more later. $45 gets you a starter pack. I think the Mustang Alpha glitch still works in the store, so do that and get an Aurora LN, if you can. $60 if you want SQuantuket 42 with it. Use the code randomizer for extra money in game.

Eventually there will be more to do than fly ships and you may never spawn a ship, just work on other ships or farm on planets.

I got my elite explorer rank by joining LYR pp faction, then wandered around for 3 weeks, hauled enough mats to reach rank 5 for the +300% exploration payout, then I went to the nearest neutron star field and scanned a bunch and sold the data to a LYR station for the payout.
>>
>>167525491

You can get some interaction in ED, for example you can join Smiling Dog Crew and fuck with dads but again, their actions really don't matter. All they do is fuck with other player groups or gank people for the sake of ganking but there's never any motive for PvP other than the sake of PvP. You can also go with them or whoever else to try to influence CGs by killing people trying to come in or whatever but this never works because of solo.

There was a group a while ago, some group with India or Company or whatever in the name. They tried to blockade a system that had a CG going at the time. They were somewhat successful at first but what eventually happened is that the system was devoid of people in open... because they all switched to solo since they kept getting interdicted and killed outside of the station. Rather than make a call for bounty hunters or protectors, people went on the forums to bitch to Frontier about them and some even went as far as to request every player involved with the group to be outright banned from the game for having the gall to try to influence the CG negatively. After that, the CG still succeeded because of solo, and the group disbanded as a protest to Frontier because what the fuck is even the point of trying to influence the universe if it's impossible to do so without having the stamp of approval from FD's story writers?

The only other interaction you can get is from some roleplay groups but those are just cancerous unless you REALLY enjoy roleplay. There isn't much to these except grinding missions to try to flip the system to whatever faction the group is "aligned" to. You MIGHT get in battles with other groups but it is all roleplayed out and is incredibly cringeworthy. If you step out of roleplay, everyone will combat log and bitch at you.

The day you get good player interaction in Elite is the day FD shuts down the servers and releases the game source code to players. That is if they stick to their promise.

It's been around for over half a year. It's not going anywhere. And if it does, you can bet your ass we'd just go to something else. There's other things to do to get loads of cash but 17D happens to be the most popular.

Seriously just fucking stop before you go insane. I made 400 mil and stopped because there's really nothing to spend that money on. Just come back to it when they announce something worthwhile to buy.

I used an Asp and stored a First class 6, First class 5 and a business class 5 and used the smallest one possible for the passenger I got. I only took on CEOs on sight seeing tours that didn't take me more than 100ly from where I was.

Elite's a pretty game. Though I think it needs more variety in ships and in locations the player can visit. Would love minor variants of ships that have random "kit" parts with very minor stat differences from default ships. Or radically different station types, like asteroid station or a station that's a bulk freighter or a capital ship.

I've always been quite impressed with how well ED renders. A lot of games that come these days are jagged messes at native without vaseline-tier TAA. TAA and interlaced rendering were mistakes. You end up with games that perform and look like fucking ass because why bother when you can render half the pixels and blur what's left, and your only decent anti-aliasing option is to force shit on via your GPU drivers.

For a while I ran ED at 2160p native on my television and that shit was pixel-perfect, sadly gamepads are terrible for ED.
>>
>>167541549
I use SMAA in Elite with supersampling at 1.0. I tried 2.0 earlier and it was pretty but didn't take screenshots. Yeah most antialiasing options in new games are awful. I dislike FXAA.

Why not use a joystick or keyboard with your tv?

I really hate the way agricultural stations waste interior dockingbay space for growing plants. I get the goal of making the interior look like a farming station but the player is in the docking bay, in the real world the warehouse loading dock of a food distributor looks exactly like the warehouse loading dock of a plumbing fixture distributor.

Better would have been to put the green plant parts in domes outside the station. Or maybe at the end of the docking bay.

There's no such thing.

There's a boot time mod but that doesn't change charge time.

Going faster, lighter ship, further away from the nearest mass causes the FSD to charge faster.

>>
>>167546256

There's something that feels really nice with the X56 to be able to control everything so easily, and so precisely:

There's a thumb stick on the thruster for lateral/vertical movement, making docking easy. A thruster to go with the "oomph" of the engine's kicking up, and in general using a stick for shooting and navigation feels precise. I actually only started playing the game with one - I can't imagine playing without.
>>
>>167547360

Addendum: I've only owned it for 2 weeks, and lots of people have reported wiring/hardware options

Couple with the fact that Logitech bought Saitek from Madcatz recently, and is apparently fighting the warranty stuff a bit, might be worth it to see what Logitech's Saitek comes up with, because Madcatz's Saitek was pitiful

It feels really good, but the wiring is apparently shit. So if you're an electrifican or someone who can fix wiring if it breaks, good news!

Stripped down Type-6 also has good range for the cheap explorer.

So does the Diamondback Scout and Diamondback Explorer which are slightly more expensive options but allow you to actually fight back if attacked.

Asp and Anaconda are the undisputed kings of long range due to their very low hull mass for their size.

1) Distract backers from the total lack of meaningful content being released on anything resembling a regular basis.
2) Stroke the really autistic people who engage themselves in the community of a game that doesn't actually exist to be played yet so they keep giving more money.
3) Fulfill the letter of the "regular updates" promise without putting forth the effort of fulfilling the spirit.

I'm not even memeing. It's by far the most pointless "show" they've done. RSI forums tier jabber about topics anyone can get conclusive answers too by reading alongside old news content anyone with the game has access too and has already beaten to death in replayability terms.

Color me surprised.

On top of that, game dev people in general tend to be a bit chunky simply because gaming is a sedentary hobby which produces fat squishy people and the number of people getting into the games production industry without being some sort of gamers themselves is probably pretty low.

FAS is faster and more maneuverable then FD and FGS, more L hardpoints than FD and FGS.

It's like a beefier Vulture, middle of the road solution.

Gunship is slower but has more hardpoints(smalls) and a SLF, can't say anything good about the Dropship tho.

The vulture is an excellent space superiority fighter, with a pair of fixed pulses (rapid fire5 if engineered) is absolutely wonderful. The only problem I had with it was how some enemy players could easily outrun me otherwise I'd still be flying it.

The FDL is my new fun ship but it's depressing how there's so little variety in the "heavy fighter" category. Wish FD would put out some variants like a FDL with 2 huges and no secondaries. Or one with no huge weapon mount but an extra 4 medium missile only mounts. Or one with no huge weapon mount, bigger FSD and a saud kruger passenger liner trimming for a luxury MEDIUM PAD yacht.
>>
So which engineer do I go to to fix up the shit power supply on my vulture? And what do I choose?
>>
>>167617901
That'd depend on if your ship is overheating or not. How much power you need. Will you be engineering any other parts (heavy duty/thermal shield generator?)

There's nothing wrong with gathering 30 some odd iron and going to see felicity in deciat for 30 attempts at a level 1 clean reactor or shielded if you don't need that much power. After a few (dozen) tries you'll get a +5% to +9% power generation with no downsides. She's limited to level 1 pp upgrades though.

Elvira Martuuk (does FSD level 5 upgrades) in Khun will tell you about Marco Qwent after you raise her to about 3.5. Marco Qwent is a Sirius Corp guy so he's annoying to unlock but he's centrally located and does level 4 upgrades on power plants.

Liz Ryder (missile and torpedo 5) tells you about Hera Tani at 3.5+ relationship. Problem is Liz Ryder requires you to rank up with some minor faction before you can access her. Hera Tani is the level 5 power plant expert so she's.a good idea to eventually unlock.

Just wanting to be able to deploy hardpoint without having to shut half my ship down. Also thinking those rapid fire pulses might be worth grinding for.

So decait for a clean reactor is the way to go engine wise?
>>
>>167619032
That'll only give you a few % more power after many, many rolls. The idea is to get lucky with a +power output roll.

If you're shutting down half your ship you're going to need a more extensive overcharged powerplant mod, which will heat up your ship but not like you have much choice.

Fair enough. I'll leave it until atmospheric landings drops and disappoint myself with that then.
I always thought the game felt "tiny".Like a really convoluted small slot machine but not one that you get a dopamine hit from. Just one that lets you down.Constantly.

See here's where you're wrong. I can log into SC right now, enter my stock aurora LN that I got for $40 along with the full game (less than the price of a full price game) and go do vanduul/pirate swarm. Or log on the mini universe and go plink at shitty laggy AIs there. They are entry-level combat scenarios that someone who just joined can jump right in and experience.

Compare that with E:D. You log in, do the tutorials, maybe get an eagle. Buy a couple of upgrades and an extra gun and you want to do some combat. You see a LOW INTENSITY combat zone which to everyone with half a brain means entry level gameplay. The player goes there and chooses a faction, then every ship in the vicinity auto-targets them and simultaneously blows them away in less than a second. The player goes "wtf" then uninstalls.

I'm about to hit elite exploration so it's time for pewpew, but I'm not going straight right in.
I thought about outfitting some cheap ships to gather materials for engineering before I go all in, first a Keelback loaded with turrets and a fighter and planetary vehicle bay, not like I'll be fighting tough shit for now but I still wonder if it will be enough or worth the time.
I also thought on a mining Type-6 for mining, 5-6 runs should be enough for those 500t I need to unlock.
Also, is that alien ruin mission worth it at all? I heard it's like 100m and it can't be much difficult, or is it?
>>
>>167638985
It's kind of bad when the only practical way of unlocking the Cutter and Corvette is an (borderline) exploit. I mean, did the developers really intend for people to mass-complete 20 missions at the time? Because that's the only practical way.

Then there's always the "just play the game normally" faggot that complains about anyone that complains about the grind. Yeah, play the game normally and you maybe have the cutter/vette when the game is finished.

I can't tell if you're all taking me for a ride or being serious. He's not even asking for everyone to be able to do CZs or to revert CZs to before where all NPCs were braindead and CZs were nothing but a turkey shoot. How fucking hard is it to apply some balance to CZs so newbies don't get BTFO and subjected to grinding for credits so they can actually play the game? Just fucking make low-intensity zones have ships with weaker armor/weapons but make them also put out way fewer credits per kill and make massacre missions not count for low intensity zones. Hell, they could even add more levels of CZs, like how RES has different levels (standard, high, hazardous)
>>
>>167640286
The ability to gain credits fast is an exploit, anon.
>>
>>167639659
It's kind of sad when the only practical way of unlocking the Cutter and Corvette is for self-entitled kids to use exploits and bad sportsmanship to rush themselves to the "top". I mean, did the developers really expect for that children, with how their generations act today, to actually want to enjoy the vision that is Elite Dangerous? Where you can cruise around subspace, casually turning in one mission at a time as you roleplay your commander?

Then there's always the "I want to be the best!" faggot that complains about anyone that doesn't complains about the so called " grind ". Yeah, we play the game normally here. If you put in enough dedication, time and hard-work you may just have a Corvette in a year or two.

I'm done with my Vulture, gonna ditch it and upgrade to a Python or a FDL.
What you niggas think? Got a preference?
>>
>>167641526

>ditch it

Don't. You'll want to come back to it eventually, trust me. You'll get at most only ~20 million for the Vulture anyways, which means you've got around atleast 30 million. Pull your pants up and get the other 20, lad.

If you're going to go combat, FDL is definitely the one you want. Python isn't really much good for combat anymore IMO, it's just a big lumbering piece of shit, but still an excellent multirole. FDL packs more punch and is way more maneuverable.
>>
>>167641526
Python = Slower, More DPS. Good Hull Tank

FDL = Faster (34ms+ than A Fitted Python), Less DPS (-37.5 DPS p/s than A-fitted Python), Good Shield Tank.
>>
>>167641695
>Don't
Ehhh fine I'll keep it, but honestly why? The FDL sounds like an all around better Vulture.

>>167641695
>>167641778
Thanks yo. My Vulture is my combat ship, so I'll get the FDL, cause that's what it is meant to be replacing.

The Python just sounds like a better FAS, which is my current multi-purpose.
So my plan here is to soonish sell my FAS, for a Clipper (which just seems like a cooler looking and all around better FAS), and then upgrade that to a Python.

It's about preferences between FDL and Python.

I've flown both, personally. I can handle that the Python is less maneuverable than the FDL. It's sluggish on the turns/corrections, but I can melt folks faster than in my FDL.

With my FDL, yeah. I'm a little faster. I'm lighter. but I'm also not melting enemies as quickly as I am in a python.

To me, Speed isn't as importance as how fast I can kill an NPC on a 17D massacre mission.

We're going for IMMERSION here. Since when can you become a King just for doing trade runs? Realistically you would need to be part of a royal blood line, or chosen by God. Elite is meant to be this immersive space simulator but how can I myself enjoy in such a game when everyone is flying in Cutters? Unless Fdev changes this I'm going back to playing the 1984 original.
>>
>>167646110

It has nothing to do with credit gains. CZs used to be pretty fun, regardless of being far too easy. Just a good old fashioned furball. Now CZs can practically only be done with mid/late game setups and with extreme frustration as you get fucked in the face by rail Eagles.

Then again, my whole point rests on the assumption that there is more to do in Elite than just earn credits, therefore CZs should be more than just a way to grind massacre missions. I think we all know that this is false, so sure, keep CZs the way they are.
>>
>>167646759
Oh I definitely agree that 100% accuracy rail spamming NPCs need to be fixed.

Fighting in CZs is not for ships like the Eagle. They are warzones, not safe spaces where an npc viper will occasionally take a shot at you.

Yep,

Right now ED is just a ship-progress single player game with ocasional multiplayer that has no effect on the world itselff with a slow ass boring combat with arcady movement tacked on top.


Hopefully SC will end up being something different.

But in the other end, if SC released with 2.0 with some basic multiplayer like ED, it would be just as bad.

Maybe SC will be released as a good game at the same time ED get's a patch that actually makes it a game instead of a second job with no end game.

>mad about telepresence

in-universe, the advent of combo FSDs that can run in both supercruise and hyperspace is extremely recent. wings were not even present in the beginning and their implementation explicitly implies FTL communication on top of in-system travel, now. there are many minor faction corporations that are involved with netcomms and it's not unreasonable to think that in the year 3303 the intricacy of data transmitted across potentially lightyears can be facilitated with sufficiency to allow outright instantaneous hologram-based interaction to occur on modern ship bridges given that they are wired the fuck up with military hologram projectors and FTL comm arrays and sensors

there's handwaving involved but the basis exists for all of it.

>>167685972
No. Everything you do in alpha will be wiped, several times at least.

As long as aUEC exists in SC, expect it to be wiped with each version. We can already expect to use aUEC to work out the bugs on ship purchases in 3.0+. It will likely be well past 4.0 before aUEC goes away and UEC takes over. Once UEC is actually in use, in game, there will be no more wipes.

>>167689419
How will that work? I wasn't aware people could join a ship already in flight.
>>
>>167691127
When UEC starts getting used then your ship insurance will time will start ticking?
Also the big backers will get lifetime insurance on some ships and could let people steal their ships for money.
How will they counter that?
>>
>>167687723
what? ed isn't getting wiped and is out of beta (if in name only)
>>
>>167691127
when SC has NPCs you can hire the plan is that your friends can basically commandeer them in the short term and use the NPC as an avatar to co-op on your ship. distant stuff but that is the plan.
>>
>>167691539
maybe with limited insurance. like if you already use it you have to wait weeks/month to get your new ship again and/or covering only part of the ship cost and decreasing each time you use it unless you keep the ship intact for a while. won't solve the problem but definitely could help.
>>
>>167691539
There will be no doubt in anyone's mind once insurance starts, you can be sure of that.

>can they counter whales flooding the market with LTI ships?

I haven't thought of that, but here is what I know. Respawn timers are going to go up by a lot. It may be days for a larger ship like a Starfarer to be "built" to satisfy your insurance claim. If done properly, there will be a limit on how many ships per week a person could claim.

The same scam could work without LTI, it's just your profit margin would be insignificantly smaller.
>>
>>167692202
If they are going to use telepresence for SC, will you disappear once you leave your seat, or leave the bounds of the ship?

I could see something like the Doctor from Voyager working, where you can do anything in the floor space of the ship, but cease to exist if you try to leave.
>>
>>167692773
it's not really telepresence or anything, it's just an extra-canon quality of life thing so you don't have to take several hours to get to the same location as your mates, canonically you'd just be doing your thing with your hired crew, when in fact your pals have Agent Smith'd them in order to be present on your ship. can't think of a reason you wouldn't be able to move freely about with them, though the captain will probably be choked if you get his paid staff killed or lost in the void.

have to disagree Fampai, Elite's community is the only game i know of that has a community that is ACTIVELY detrimental to it's development.

LoL and Overwatch may have a toxic community, but at least they don't have a fan base that purposely tries to sabotage new updates before they even come out.
>>
>>167693572
You guys sure enjoy getting triggered by others not sharing your stance regarding how the game should be developed.
>>
>>167693117
I'm not opposed to that. It seems like that would open the door to stacking NPC crew just to have the teleport point. A pre-staged, hidden cap ship can supply 30-40 effective spawns which could bypass a blockade.

Reddit rewards low risk posting.

that just sounds like good gameplay. would require heavy coordination, plenty of in-game resources, and is a strictly situational advantage that isn't breaking the rules of the game. in other words, some well played emergent gameplay. and it would be a rare enough occurrence that it would be newsworthy in-game and out, making for good lore and reputation building, as well as inspiring copycats that would often be hilarious failures.
>>
>>167695380
you still need those NPCs on board to commandeer, you can't just whip up a free spawn point. the cheapest way I can see that being exploited is if you kept a bunch of NPCs in freezer pods like the Avenger has, and just popped them out for players to use. still requires that you have players on hand to jump in, probably requires you to be paying wages to the NPCs, and when you're at the point where you've got NPCs on board anyway, they're better put to use at least doing the basic level play AI is capable of rather than chilling in stasis.
>>
>>167695539
>>167695798
I think a couple of important questions are: Once you die as an "Agent Smithed" NPC, does the NPC die if you die, or does he just appear back at his post? Do you have to have NPCs or does the station on the ship suffice for player teleport? NPCs may be a red herring if only the station on the ship is needed for a player to teleport to it.

It sounds like a messy mechanic to be honest, like you're trying to adapt the "quick play" feature from modern instanced shooters into an MMO persistent setting, all that mixed in with pre-generated NPC characters.
It also sounds it can be open to have plenty of holes and be continuously exploitable as hell.

I'd rather have a regular "you're in control of your character at all times" if the crew system AND the game itself are both designed well enough to not be bothersome.
>>
>>167696220
undetermined, and hasn't been discussed in some time. as it was described though, there was no teleportation of any kind, you just take over that NPC. so they'd probably just die, and you get booted back to your own character, while the ship is now down one warm body. if there's some shipboard respawn mechanic that's a new thing that's unrelated, though I imagine they could work in tandem. would be a good question for CR, if they ever did the fucking 10 again. do they still take questions on not-RTV?
>>167696689
the issue is that they intend for systems to be huge, and for multi-system transit to take some time, not unlike ED, though less so. I wish they'd cut a lot of the poorly thought out Ben ideas that would make it exploitable and be exploitable on their own, at which point it would just be like carrying temporary EvE flash clones around except that they're actually potentially a little useful outside of when a player wants to use one.

There is an inverse relationship between social ability and hangar value. The type of person to drop that kind of money on jpegs is going to either be exploited like a filipino preteen by some org or a fucking Skreli level dickhead. Either way, I don't think you will see organization on that level right off the bat. Have you ever played co-op on Arma 3? At least a fucking hour to get in zone if you are on a RP server, otherwise it's loosely organized lone wolfs which rarely get the job done through teamwork.

The scarcity of capital ships will make the social engineering of the captains easier. If the cap ships truly have week long time for replacement, it will only be a matter of time before you can corner one and give him the choice of outright loss of his ship and another week long wait for replacement, or he can work on his own ship and if he plays along, will be rewarded with it back whenever you lose interest in him.

It's like the forums dont know that E:D is a video game.
Because of this game's shit community, as well as FD's incompetence; E:D has become:
-an MMO with no quests
-a multiplayer game with no structure
-a combat game where fighting costs you money
-an exploration game where most things look the same
-a trading game with no economy
-a simulation game that is only a simulation when it's annoying
-a mystery game where the puzzles are literally bugged and unsolvable
-an RPG with no roleplay

Also true. Over 90% of that is SQuidward 42. Once we finally see what Mark, Gilly, and Gary are up to, there won't be anything left to spoil, and all the asset pipelines will be in full swing for the PU.

>>
>>167710751
the planet 'pipeline,' if they have such a thing, will vary hugely I'm sure. places like the homestead demo planet will be almost 100% procedural, with a couple (also procedural) settlements dropped here and there, whereas places like Terra and Earth will be very carefully hand crafted with procedural terrain only filling the gaps between, and even then with a fine toothed comb no doubt going over then afterwards to ensure the details are mostly accurate. Planets like ArcCorp that will be using procedural cities will also likely get more attention even when almost entirely procedurally built, since a procedural city has a lot more opportunity to fuck up and make glaring mistakes than for example a generated desert.

That is the site bud, don't stress the piece of shit calling you a nigger. This game and community is trash. Best of luck to you and getting your money back, but read a few posts, and don't accept CiGs lies or tactics about not giving you your money back. No product = REFUND. Good luck my friend.

Ok, what the fuck does silent running do? I thought it was so you can sneak.
I had it on through a mailslot and got scanned and blown the fuck up. What gives.
>>
>>167573309

The Starfarer Captains room is comfy as fuck
>>
>>167724537

It reduces your radar signature, but doesn't eliminate it. You can still get scanned if you're too close to the scanner.
>>
>>167724537
As >>167725476 said, it's not a surefire way to stop a scan. Scans stop at the mailslot, so you really have to move it if a scan begins.
>>
>>167725476
>>167725896
So, I'm better off with the ol' bust in and out as fast as I can possibly go?
>>
>>167726215

You're best off going quick AND having silent running on. Were you so confident in SR that you flew in really slowly? The "scan detected" warning should have warned you teebeeaitch.
>>
>>167726215
Scans take 5(?) seconds to complete. If you know you can get in safely there's no need to leg it. If you drop out while approaching the station planetside you can get a straighter angle and fly right in. Silent run if it makes you feel better.

If you're not quite going fast enough/not aligned yet and a scan starts then you need to scream into the station and 100% reverse throttle, deploy landing gear/flip 'n' boost, whatever. Or abort and run and try again.
>>
>>167726691
>>167726747
I wasn't going THAT slowly, but I wasn't really going fast.
So if the Scan Detected comes up, what should I do?
>>
>>167727228

If you make it through the glowy veil-thingy in the slot before the scan finishes, the scan stops. If you think you can make it before the scan completes, you go for it. If you don't, boost and turn to break LoS with the scanner and come back to try again.

Really, it's only in the glowy? I could have sworn I was out of it. I know I've definitely been scanned outside the station heading in not in the glowy.

That's why there's no real singleplayer. Frontier didn't want spoilers.

>>167729143
That's why we are planning to spark shit off with the Thargoids.

We didn't win the first way in ED Lore. They raped the shit out of it, but hell. Let's make it interesting.

Join the cause. Fire on any and all Thargoid ships you see in the future. FD said our interactions with them will decide how they react.
>>
>>167727968

Yes. The glowy breaks scans no matter what. You can get scanned before it, but as long as the scan has NOT completed and your ship has passed the glowy bit, the scan will stop. I've never been scanned once INSIDE the actual station, but I can't rule it out as a possibility.
>>
>>167729197
How come no one datamined the alien ship model before it first interdicted someone? they could "stream" content kinda like WoW lets you play the game before it's fully installed

I just started a trip of my own with a passenger, between their destination and 2 planned stops at Sag A and Colonia I'm going about 70k LY round trip for a little over 72 million. Thank god for double monitor and internet radio. Browsing 4chan helps keep it comfy instead of grindy. I set up my numpad so I can maneuver with one hand without using my joystick everytime. Good luck on finishing your Colonia trip soon, are you planning to head all the way back or suicide to LHS?

I made it a few hours ago. Was greeted by hails from a bunch of Dads when I docked.

Plan to fly back. Kinda regret not stripping a cheaper ship down to get here and just blowing it to get back. Oh well.

>>167736273
Didn't time too accurately. I used an Asp with about a 32ly jump distance. Left on the 2nd, didn't fly every day though.

Broke it down into seven legs, stopping at each of the six outposts along the route. Each leg took about 2 hours, usually. One was long (6kly) and took 4, the shortest only took 1.5 hours.

Did the first leg out of the bubble using neutron stars, dumb idea. They're not dense enough, faster to plot route normally. Did that for the second leg. After that you can basically jump neutron star to neutron star with occasional 3-6 jump gaps every 10 or so neutrons. Good chance to refuel and repair the FSD.

Listened to podcasts pretty much the entire way to prevent san loss.

There's outposts on the way? Like, stations?

Also, is there a resource of some sort where people have plotted neutron highways? Finna bout going there myself in an Anaconda.
