H-hey there...what are you anons up to this fine evening?

>Where are ya headed
>What are ya grinding for
>What ship are ya flying?

Is this thing on?

>>145824974

I am grinding for more credits, but wishing I was flying an Imperial Eagle again.

>>145824974

Doing missions and helping a minor faction just because.

Even playing like a dad, I can't wrap my head around how they are okay with this shit. Every once in a while I'll get a bugged mission or OOPS REDIRECT and it just ruins what fun I have. I can barely stand combat now either. Yeah it's harder but now every fight is just turnfights where the AI always can turn tighter than you no matter what ship you have, and basically all you do is FA OFF turnfight and hope the AI doesn't have railgun spam.

>>145824974
Sothis
Tradaconda
Asp

by the way can anyone confirm that Sothis is dead? There's no biowaste missions anymore

>>145824974
Grinding credits so that I can pimp out my conda and maybe a few other ships.

Then I guess I'll gaze into the vision that is engineers to try and upgrade my FSD to ludicrous jump ranges.

Nice view from your Diamondback there.

>>145826084
My tradeconda just arrived at Sothis. I'm starting to jump modes. I'll lament here if I can't find anything.

I did find a mission to move 2 tons of hydrogen fuel for 800k.

>>145824974

Material collecting in a specifically tooled-up iCurry.

Basically SRV + wake scanner + enough shields/firepower to survive encounters and be an opportunist. Boosts over 700 with enhanced drives and tuning.

Sothis is down, Fehu is nothing but donation missions. Trying Maia next.

>>145826084
>>145826380
I'm seeing a few biowaste missions. I've found the following so far since that post:

24 tons: 4.7 mil
6 tons: 2.4 mil
18 tons: 3.7 mil

Also of a few hydrogen fuel missions of varying interest.

So I guess Sothis isn't dead. But fuck rng.

>>145827064

I don't think it will die until their "holiday" is over.

Hopefully I can milk the place until they do shut it down.

>>145827458
even if they shut it down sothis mining in the same system has a SHITLOAD of mineral delivery missions

you can make 15M a run EZ with an ASP

and then I see dads on the forums going "holy crap I can make 2.7M/h if I do this" lel

>Want to do some space combat
>Start to boot up Elite
>Realize it would probably take me 15 minutes just get to some lame RES or Nav beacon and then spend an hour scanning targets to kill for a pittance with no real challenge or excitement
>Go pirate House of the Dying Sun, Starpoint Gemini 2, and Rebel Galaxy instead and actually have fun,

I really wish ED had missions that just created a hotspot for you to go to to kill a few ships, none of this faffing about with going to RES and Nav beacons to scan for mission targets or waiting around for assassination targets to spawn. All I want is a quick in and out mission where I get some combat and make a reasonable amount of money, you'd think that was a lot to ask for or something.

>>145828173

If it were just one ship I wish I could quit using it would be the ASP. I get that it has the hardware to be that flexible, but I have put far too much time into one of those.

>>145830195
ikr

it looks ugly as fuck too, like a space dorito. I wished the DBE was actually worth shit

>>145830286

I think the DBE needs a bit of love so that it's somewhat more competitive with the ASP. I will not lie the DBE was one of my favorite ships to pilot, whereas the ASP was more like begging to be done piloting the thing.

>>145830649

It desperately needs at least one more internal slot to accommodate an SRV without sacrificing a proper exploration suite.

no /spess/ general?

Why do people who don't know how to make threads make threads? This one isn't searchable, and will die a lonely death. In space.

Is this the new Hullo thread?

Well, after a mix of cycling modes and watching youtube videos while I accumlated biowaste missions, I've finished my sothis run with a profit of 51.6 Mil.

That's enough VISION for one evening.

Just got to Ceos. Only data and slave missions. Is it dead?

>>145837208
No, but RNG seems to be embracing the VISION tonight.

Anyone else lost connection?
>Cannot connect to Frontier servers

this isnt an i quit post, im sure fd maybe might one day if there is a blue moon fix the game , and i will be back, but right now its not fun, i loved mowing over npcs in my conda, i loved doing missions in my conda,, H3LL i even loved grinding in my conda. now i cant do crap. 1v1s are fine but if its more than 1 npc in any ship i have to run,

i dont want to get a fdl and be a member of the fdl loser club

I HATE FLYING IN FLIPPING CIRCLES IN EVERY dang FIGHT TOO, ITS BORING


SOME TIMES I WONDER DO THE DEVS EVEN PLAY THEIR GAME ?


i thought the whole point to ED is to blaze your own trail and i cant even do that right because of crap mechanics in the game are forcing me to grind like a nut job

i love FD i really do, but 2.0 was so much better and I hope to GOD they fix ED before NMS drops

>Alright, here is my attempt at fixing powerplay.
First things first, we're throwing everything out and starting from scratch. First, there will be three main powers, Empire, Federation and Alliance, and they are in a state of cold war with each other. Second, there are minor powers, the actual members of each group, Patreus, Aisling, etc. The minor powers of a faction are all allied to each other and provide support for the effort in differing ways. To use the Empire as an example, Paterus uses military support, Aisling handles Public relations, Torval provides logistical support and Aisling provides law and stability in a region. We will of course need more characters to balance out the three factions. To join, you sign up with a faction and a leader. You are now enemy to the other two factions and killing another player of an enemy faction pays a bounty, more if they're in your side's territory. Not too different so far from what we were given, just cleaning up the mess they gave us and getting rid of stupid shit like internal conflict in the face of a larger threat.

>>145841050
Now, you've picked a side and a leader to follow. That leader has a general goal to accomplish and you are given a mission to complete for that cycle, everyone could get a different mission and it's not always the same. It's like a smaller, dyamic community goal. For example, you're an edgy faggot so you joined Delaine. His overall goal is fucking up logistics for Empire and Federation via mass acts of piracy. Your goal for the week is to grab a trade ship IFF beacon, either buy one or murder a trader until you get one, and run around some heavily guarded stations pretending to be a trader while picking up all the current trade routes and convoy timetables and reporting them back to the pirate hoard. Once that's done, you join the pirate hoard and raid some trade lanes with npc wingmates and steal torval's latest slave convoy out from under her. Money and access to pirate modified gear, paintjobs or livery are your rewards, maybe you'll gain a rank. Ranks don't degrade, that's stupid.

If all of a side's minor factions complete their goal, the major faction goal is completed and they gain control of, not just one sector, but a region of maybe 10-20 systems. If two or more sides make a grab for the same region, now we're in the WAR stage of powerplay. During WAR, each side gets a base sector and grab regions one by one via straight up murdering other enemy players and npc's and larger scale goals like seiging all the stations in a system. Sometimes a positive special event will kick in and you'll have Patreus and the royal fleet jump in or Aisling shows up and flashes her titties or throws a concert, whatever is keeping her popular this week, that changes the mood of the system to her side. Sometines a negative special event will happen and Hudson goes into fuckyou mode and drops bioweapons on the planets, eradicating all life in the system, leaving it desolate and worthless. These conflicts change the actual face of the system and aren't some temporary instance only cutscene.

If your side wins the region, you get bonus money, special deals and special "Battle of Pleiades" or whereever ship decals. The minor goals are now more difficult for the winner's next cycle and vice versa. All of this would be covered with lore like galspan news articles and listing names of players that outdid themselves that cycle.

Nice, but too complex for the Dads to handle.

You have to pay rent for the storage each day and you can do it remotely forcing you to either stay there or travel to pay the fee every single day.
And if you don't pay it you get fined and all of you stuff disappears.
You also have to pay a transfer fee every time you move any of the cargo around.

>>145873862
Meh, good enough.

>>145872624
Well, space games were never a big crowd draw to begin with. Then there is the cost.

Up until relatively recently, our only hope was the X series, but they shit the bed with Rebirth, which was supposed to be a money sink for them to continue working on their new space engine for X4 but that fell through.

It costs too much money and doesn't have enough draw. Big publishers aren't going to fund a space sim; Infinity Ward is trying by disguising one as a Call of Duty game but that's not going to pan out too well.

So the devs have to do it themselves, and with no publisher to keep them leashed, we're at the mercy of "artistic vision" versus gameplay. Braben tried doing it the cheap way but he can't afford good programmers and had a staff used to working on rollercoaster games. Roberts has been doing it the expensive way and honestly I'm surprised he hasn't just taken the money and ran at this point. Either way, both of them have lost their minds in the process.

The people that made the games we fondly remember are gone. The team that made Freespace? Gone. The group that made Freelancer? Scattered to the winds. Independence War? Retired. We will never have what we had again.

That's not a space sim, that's an FPS that has lost sight of what its audience actually wants

>>145874506

It has space and spaceships you can actually fly around, you can get out and shoot shit.

Which is more than I can say for bad games like Elite and vaporware like Star Citizen.

seems like the spaceship flying will be a very minor part, just a quick dogfight before the main mission. Im worried that it'll sell notably less than other cod games and the spess parts will be blamed, which will stop other publishers from backing space games

Nobody knows yet. Next update of fixes in november.

>>145898519
Someone posted this on forums. Mods closed the thread for "excessive language"

https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5763cb959657badf6e40e70a
Reminder that if a ship covered in guns sails close to an aircraft carrier in international waters and after multiple warnings to move away the aircraft carrier uses force to remove you from its exclusion zone the aircraft carrier is being an unprovoked aggressor.
Also that sending a military ship to watch over an alien device spitting artefacts that cripple technology is an evil blockade.

When will fdev scrap community galnet.

They aren't explaining anything. That's just a news story some fag wrote up because two guys went around the galaxy in Cobras. Kinda neat but don't mistake this as the devs trying to explain anything, they already do a great enough job of releasing terrible patch notes and only giving out information in needlessly cryptic and nonsensical riddles.

Go look at Elder Scrolls Online's numbers. Isn't it like 1K?

At E3 it was proven that they have 7 Million players.

>>145932305

You're hitting late night US, early morning bondland times, so we're on sleepy times so less people are on. The game is treading steady at around 4k each day average, but I don't think we'll ever see the numbers that Horizon saw ever again. It's kind of funny to see the huge increase in players in December and then freefall to numbers that were lower than before Horizons released. Give it a little more time as people wrap up grinding for Engineers and realizing that this patch added fucking nothing and those numbers will drop further.

Also remember that quite a few people don't use the Steam client to launch the game, so they aren't accounted for.

Can I help fuck over the Dads? I have a tradeconda. Will travel.

I haven't paid attention to this power play wildcard shit at all.

So I bring conductive fabrics to Tartarus point? Is there a recommended place to stock up on the fabrics, or are we keeping the location of our suppliers secret?

Which faction are we turning the stuff in for? From the screenshot I assume EG Pilots?

>>145934075
Basically, the group EG Pilots is made up nigh entirely of russian hardcore players that don't give a flying fuck about forums and dads, they started out as an obscure group, then they mass voted themselves in, then they became wildcard material, and now they are utterly annihilating everyone else, wovles of jonai, adle's armada, all the english speaking dadder groups are being kicked on the porch and having their tender assholes widened so broadly by slavic intervention that you can drop a watermelon down there sideways.

>>145935104
Welp, I just squeezed enough money to buy myself a tradeconda, guess I'll do that

>>145935168

It's gonna repay itself fast. 400~ cargo will net you a healthy 2.1m~ profit. The event is on for 4 more days. Crush your soul, start trading.

I've been doing sothis runs for 4 days with my Asp

there's nothing left of my soul to crush

>>145936809

were you around before they nerfed mission spawning and earnings?

you could literally earn 60m in one single sothis run with something like 30 cargo. that's how I got my anaconda in the first place.

yeah, I used to do robigo runs

>>145938852
Where exactly do you even afk turret?

What's the best ship to take RES farming if I can't stand the FDL?

>>145938576
One of the /edg/lords told me that the bug was related to a dangling pointer error relating to the NPC randomized engineer weapon stats being generated by one player and then being transferred to a second player. That the bug arose when one player generated legal NPCs, a second player entered the instance, and the host player left the instance. Allegedly at that point, the NPC's would be transferred to the new host and they'd look towards the same memory address on player 2's machine as player 1's machine. Except player 2's machine has garbage data at that address instead of legally generated weapon data, so the NPC weapons adopt performance characteristics across the entire gamut of lolbad to HOLYSHITWHAT.

tl;dr

If what the anon /edg/lord said was correct, you should be safe as long as you stay in solo mode.

But that's secondhand info to me. I haven't been rapid fire railgunned in solo mode yet for what it's worth.

>>145939279
However I also haven't been looking for fights. Just doing some vision runs out of Sothis and getting interdicted every now and then. So feel free to ignore me.

>>145937719

I know. I really know. But it's still the overall best ship, which kinda breaks my heart. Maybe it's because I've flown it so much, but it seems so bland. We need more specialization.

>>145938139
They all fly and shoot like Elites. It's fucking ridiculous. I'm still learning how to git gud at fixed guns (fell in love with railguns after taking out the Cobra in the training mission) and the ships I'm having the most trouble with right now are, embarrassingly enough, Sidwinders and Eagles. They're so fucking tiny that I can't draw a bead on them, but they are definitely not having the same problem with my A-rated DBS. I can't stay on their asses and I'm getting tired of jousting.

Speaking of which, are there any decent videos on YouTube that can teach me more advanced combat maneuvers? I've learned how to FA-off turn and I'm getting better at sighting but I still have trouble shaking them when they get on me.

>>145941654
As your shields fail, terror grips your heart. You try to flee, but you can only push a machine so hard. The ship shudders and slows as shots destroy your engines. In a last desperate attempt to survive, you launch yourself through the canopy to put as much distance between you and your assailant as possible. But it was too late.

2.2 certainly isn't going to draw in the crowds. 2.3 with its CMDR creator and multicrew might bring in some numbers for a week or two.

The big unsaid season surprise will probably be the final straw. By then, the game will be in such a horrible state that no one will even consider buying season 3 and Frontier wouldn't be able to afford to produce it unless their rollercoaster game turns out to be some big tumblr hit (it won't).

Then they came for the Profit minmaxers, but the Dads said ''Fuck them, earn money the moral way'' and the profiteers were vision'd

Then they came for the bug weapon ganked, but the Dads said ''Fuck them, just put 4 pips in SYS, FD is flawless'' and the combat pilots were vision'd

Then they came for the Engineer users, but the Dads said ''get materials the fun way, do it slow'' and the engineer users were vision'd

Then they came for the powerplayers, but the Dads said ''No need for a fix, trust in FD'' and the powerplayers were vision'd

Then they came for the Dads, but there was nobody left to speak for them, and the Dads were vision'd to death.

>>145945313
In this case, having a publisher would have not really helped the game all that much, other than probably providing additional funding so that Ftroop could afford to use professional coding practices.

Amidst the countless vacations they were mismanaged, but that didn't matter because there was a throng of bottom feeders prepared to eat the dredge provided and enjoy it, drowning out dissenting voices that could have saved the game by sheer weight of their pocketbooks.

If anything it's a cautionary tale.

I really wish they'd get rid of the letter boxes on stations and just make it a big circle or at least make them bigger, then at least they can introduce some different spaceship designs, like, ships they are built and will only ever fly in space. Then at least they don't have to be symmetrical and samey, I want muh Millenium Falcon/Ebon Hawk rip offs.

>>145958942
No, and you never will because they'd have to put time and effort into making an Earth that's populated with cities and shit. It'd be too big a task for the mongs at Frontier and they'll fob you off with some bullshit about technical limitations.

>>145959173

Even if you could, that capital ship would gun you down in the process of getting close to Earth.

Earth is for the dads, attempt no landing there.

>>145944471

Someone said on the forum the game has around 160,000 active players, not counting Xboners. No idea how accurate this number is. I think Elite will be alright just floating on dad money but I think theyre going to have to rethink their "10 year plan" somewhere down the line.

>>145958942
>>145959173
There is not way in hell Frontier have the technical expertise to model a landable Earth.

They can barely do barren moons well.

>>145959295
unless CODE dunks it. again.

>>145959529
Hahaha, no fucking way does this game have that many players.

>>145960952
Checking steamspy, a total of 774,000 own the game on steam
However of those only 70k played in the last two weeks, with only 4.5k yesterday.
Average total playtime is less than an hour.

What really gets me is that the game doesn't have the courtesy to close itself when it crashes whilst you are in the funzone.

If my mother's husband plays more than an hour i tell daddy Tyrone to be extra loud that night.

Whats a good load out for weapons on an Anaconda?

>>145958439
Seriously?? I grind for.. an eternity and that's what I get. I've played for 120 hours and I'm at Master.

>>145961298
Doubt those 700k are active...

>>145964939
I went from mostly harmless to Elite in 4 days with turret farming

>>145932021
Would take me roughly 233 trips doing this to get my Elite. Dunno if I can be bothered to do it that many times. Each run is 5 minutes-ish each so 12ish and hour makes 19 hours to get to Elite. I don't even know why I want it so bad.

Slave/Narcotics smuggling between Sothis and Ceos

>>145965361
I suppose I could, I just hate having to switch open>solo>open to fill my cargo hold and make efficient runs. Plus I'm the unluckiest son of a bitch on the planet so it takes forever to fill it.

>>145966819
We're stretching it now, though..

If base value of neuron star is 37000cr.
That means with discovery scanner is 37000x1.3=48100cr
First discovery values is 50% so 37000x0.5= 18500cr
Lest say half of the scans are firs discovery 18500/2=9250cr
That makes neuron star value 48100+9850=57950cr

agreed, did I miss something?

>>145944471
>>145945073
If they make it more player-driven it will. I wish ED was just like 15% more systems-based, and those systems would be open to manipulation by players. Is there a guide somewhere detailing some of the more interesting mechanics in this regard, like UA bombing and such? Maybe we should try some shit.

>want a fast ship with alot of internals
what the fuck do I do. lads?

>>145968290

>player driven anything

Won't happen, ever. The reason FD adds player minor factions manually is to keep people from adding factions that "break lore." FD will keep a tight chain around the whole game and story until the day Ftroop shelves the game for good. All you can do is take part in whatever CGs their story brings up.

fucking kek lads
Next update will basically be exploration missions

>get 1000 credits to be space buss driver for few hours
dads will cream themselves.
Also Frontier is to fucking lazy to hand craft good looking systems like what the hell? That would be the only good part about this, if we could have gotten some sick looking systems. Instead we're going to get systems which dad think are good because they took a screenshot of it. Just look at some those screenshots, it's fucking nothing

It's been real CMDRs o7

>>145965465
Those smuggling missions are like 50-100 cargo per mission and pay out 6-10 mil. So mode switching is required for a very short time and your hold is full.

As I type this, CQC is Dead.

>>145968645
Parts of the background economy sim are player-driven, players can influence what factions control systems and make those expand, I don't do PP so I don't know much about that but that, plus UA-bombing.

So it's not nothing. And it's a fun game as is, it just has the potential to become a lot more, if only FD manage to expand on player-stuff with regards to both PvE/PvP, I'd happily spend a bit every year if it grows in the right direction.

>>145974945

I think he means the flight model is fun and combat can be fun and all that. You feel like you're flying a spaceship, the issue is that you're flying it in an empty void with nothing to do.

>>145968979
are you CMDRS hyped to fill your cargo hold with tourists and fly to hutton? I sure am! o7

Like hell it is!

It shouldn't take me 20 seconds to do a 180 degree turn and feel like I'm moving through butter.

Not really. I feel like I'm flying a terrestrial airplane in space.

It's not just age anon. It's a little something else. Have you ever looked into the eyes of someone and saw nothing there and their every emotion or reaction seemed fake? It's like that. The forumdads are those people. They're at age and their soul, their very being is just gone, maybe lost in some compromise with their wives or withered away the first time they were cucked. They don't feel anymore, so they use words to describe what they think they should feel. They are unaware that they died long ago. That is the forumdad.

>>145978008
Wrong thread there, mate. Think you want, LoL?

>>145975869
Well that and I had fun doing RES to get Asp but that got boring eventually. I had to force myself to grind mats and exploration data for a lvl 4 FSD but that paid off now I'm having fun doing long range runs to get Conda. I'll probably not like mining 500 tonnes for the hull engineer since I already fell for that meme with EVE but I'm planning a trip towards the Rift (and failing that scan a bunch of neutron stars so it won't have been for nothing) so I'd rather go somewhat prepared. But yeah I've had and am having fun most of the time, or I'd be playing something else.

Horizons may have been shit to a lot of people but adding planets at least feels like the game is going places. Engineers are grindy but they do add something other than that, for example just having longer jump range makes everything a little less grindy, not sure if I'll bother with most of the other engineers but they probably have their uses.

Not sure if I'll be playing this years from now since I tend to play in bursts before losing interest or playing something else before maybe picking it up again, but if there's one sort-of MMO I like it's this one, even if half of the fun is in finding ways to beat the grind to something bigger. /blog

I'm not going back to EVE, please don't make me go back to EVE.

You anons remember episode 7 of Bebop? This should have been incorporated into the game for local system trading (within x light years)

>Actual ships that are designed for hauling
>No weapons, but fast and heavily armored
>The ability to actually contract yourself out to factions and companies in game

It's weird that some people think ED is like truck simulator in space when there is zero actual trucking going on.

Yeah, I'll give you this, but full-on inertial movement could get real crazy real fast.

EVE is ten times the game Elite is.

I went back to EVE within months. I only ever check back here to see if they've unfucked their game.

Apparently not.

>>145978495
If they gave the Type 7 class 6 thrusters and more base integrity it'd be pretty much that. You could make it into a fucking battering ram if they did that. I mean, fuck, it looks like a space semi truck.

It might actually be enjoyable if they did this.

>>145978808
It's also had that much more development, still has that much more active players. For only occasional moments of fun, discovery, mastery, whatever that drop off rapidly after the first few months. But I very probably played it wrong, thinking you had to spend months working up to a battleship before joining in the fun. Still I prefer ED's space flight stuff and the few things it does have on EVE, and also I started playing EVE what feels like 10 years too late and didn't like spending more time browsing for info and looking at and making actual spreadsheets so to each their own.

It's all valid criticism on ED and its evident in player numbers compared to 770k sales but I like it, even if it could be so much more.
