No to both.

But don't think, don't wait for a sale, just buy it!
>>
>>147825415
>Is this worth playing now?

Maybe. Depends on your preferences. Most people find the initial honeymoon phase to be extremely compelling, and then it kinda goes south as you encounter the grind. Some people don't hit that wall. Again, preference.

>Is it still extremely grindy?

Yes.

>Is the xpac worth buying?

It extends the honeymoon phase by a few hours, and also gives access to the rest of the season's/year's additions.

>Any interesting addition?

Planetary landings, rovers, engineers. Latter is very grindy.

Later on it will include multicrew, character customisation and ship launched fighters. ETA unknown, as is quality/usability.

>Is the multiplayer fixed

"Working as intended"

>worth playing it over sp?

If you enjoy seeing players once in a blue moon and sometimes having them slap your shit, sure.

It can. I was grinding Engineers until I heard they were going to shorten the grind by a lot, now I'm not even going to bother with it until they release this:

Yeah, I have read it before, but I still want to screw around with FSD and thrusters while we wait.

After all, this led me to try mining and feel all those mats drop. I hope they tweak drop rates for rares or reduce their requirement, because Lord Braben knows, I don't want any more carbon.

>>147836887
It's pretty much the same shit car manufacturers put in their cars. How to make that puny 4-cylinder engine sound good? Just play a neat roaring sound through audio system.
>>
>>147841014
It's like they think we're petulant children who are never satisfied with anything. I mean, we are, but that's not relevant here.

The main complaint with the game is and always has been "mile wide inch deep." There's nothing to do except increase your credit balance. There's no way to meaningfully interact with the game world. You can't play with the sand in the sand box.

They KNOW this is the primary criticism in the game, and yet they continue to add new shitty grinds to the game instead of making an attempt to implement some real content, and then act like we should be sucking their dicks like the dads do.
>>
>>147841038
>shit car manufacturers

They're not even the ones doing it. Companies like BMW are actually the biggest offenders of this, even in their high end cars. This from the company that mounts fake exhaust pipes on their cars, and has removed the fucking dipstick from all their new models.
>>
>>147841610
I hope memeing fucks here realise that ftroop are the real babyboomer dads, not those irrelevant fucks on the forums.

Maybe that will put the whole situation into perspective for those who still hope that some mythical "potential" may be realized in the distant future.

The recent band aid patch for engies was enough for Kornelius "Butthurt Belt" Briedis to jump back on ftroops lap and release an apology video where he thanks them for "listening to the community".

Same goes for Obsidian Dad when ftroop half assedly adresses at least 1/100 of his complaints. Also, that cheeky fucker literally conned his fans into buying him a new top shelf PC.

It's weird, with IW and BF1 we saw a massive paradigm shift where CoD players jumped ship because they felt betrayed by Infinity Ward or sumshit. After years of wanting something different they finally deliver and it gets met with unbridled scorn.

5a fuel scoop. What you lose in capacity you more than make up for in time.

If you want a game where goals are provided and you are told what to do next then elite isn't for you. The ability to blaze your own trail is what I love about this game. After a long day at work dealing with my employees I can just come home and do what I want to do in my cobra mk III. My wife's son used to play with me but lately he remarked about how the game doesn't respect his time. That's alright, he's just too young to understand elite, these millennials after all just don't have the same sensibilities or work ethic us older folks do. I can remember the other day, after losing my cobra from underestimating the gravity of the planet I was going to collect engineer materials from, I petitioned Frontier to restore my ship, because my bank account wasnt quite where it needed to be after buyinh some upgrades for my ship. And I got right back out there. Yes these entitled millennials don't know the true meaning of responsibility and work ethic.

Thanks for listening
Fly safe CMDRs

>>147861846
How's it best done? Is something like a python or asp as good as it will get, or can you benefit from a larger ship?
>>
>>147862259
Either asp or anaconda because of the jump range.

You can use a python but it will take longer. First grind rep between sothis and ceos, then pick up as much as you can and haul it back to the bubble. Being allied to every group out there I do about 60 mil an hour in my conda.
>>
>>147862567
Could I feasibly do it in a Cutter?
>>
>>147862259
Conda is probably best for the jump range, but I've been using a Cutter with a grade 5 FSD range upgrade, and I can usually get a full load of 20 missions each run. It's like 100 million each time.
>>
>>147862632
A trip will take longer but the extra space would make up for it
>>
>>147862726
>>147862757
Forgive the pestering, and I'm not meaning to be spoon-fed, but what would the fit for a set of missions like that look like? Expanded fuel tank and a scoop for the trip, cutting into the cargo belly or what?

chaff was mentioned earlier on.

The only thing I don't like about the cheap thrustmaster is that the cord between the two parts is too short to mount them to my chair arms, and no way I'm reaching up to my desk all the time. Have heard it's amazing for the price though, and it's cheap enough I'm tempted to get one and just mod the cable.
The x52 pro seems like the best bet to me though, all the newer and more expensive ones sound cheap and shitty. http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x52pro.html
Really wish thrustmaster had something between the $40 one and the $500 one, those two are the only ones my local store carries.

>HOTAS

This meme needs to die and stay dead. Using a HOTAS for space sims is counter-intuitive and counter-productive.

You need at least three axes on each hand, in addition to a throttle. The very best throttles on the market have MAYBE two convenient axes. You can kinda get by if you also have pedals, but most people don't bother.

I've only lost one ship to PvP, and it was due to a mistake on my part. Just about knocked out the powerplant of an engineered-up Python with my piracy fit asp, then fucked up/got greedy and let him pull shooting angle on a boost.

>>147887730

Like 10 of them? I've gotten scanned down with a full type-7. 190 of the fucking things. The bounty was high enough that it kept glitching out. It kept getting higher every time I jumped...
>>
>>147888074
Damn son, you stole that many in a Type 7? You're hardcore.
>>
>>147888179

It was risky business. On a followup run I got scanned and killed with another 60 units. I haven't really been able to get the hang of scan evasion with heatsink launchers. Went back to an Asp for safety/speed/jump efficiency.
>>
So silent running stops scans right?
>>
>>147889061

Yes. But not forever. You're not totally unscannable if they are close enough. Your ship also gets hotter which makes you easier to scan.
>>
>>147889216
So silent running plus heatsinks and chaff would make you basically undetectable by NPCs?
>>
>>147889449

No.
They can and will still detect you visually and close with your position.

Chaff just fucks with the automatic targeting of gimbals & turrets. Does nothing to sensors afaik.
>>
>>147889449
>chaff

Does nothing.

>undetectable by NPCs

Not possible. As I said, distance is a factor as well. If they're right next to you they can scan you.

Federal. Fun. Ship.

7 hardpoints. First you buy a large multicannon, a medium multicannon, a medium multicannon, a medium multicannon, a medium multicannon, a small multicannon, and a small multicannon. You equip 6A shields, 4 shield boosters and stuff the internals with SCBs.

Now you overcharge the fuck out of your multicannons to give your enemy even more multicannons to the face, preferably with a nice balance of incendiary and corrosive ammo side effects.

You fly with FAOFF all the time and enjoy doing drifting strafing runs while unloading a horrifying amount of firepower onto some poor puppy.

Enjoy being Arnold Schwarzenegger in space.

Alternatively, you can do so with an Anaconda for even more multicannons. You can also replace your multicannons with frag cannons and watch as your enemy's shields flare up every time you hit them.

So, how do you do those Sothis runs?
Get a bunch of missions to random systems then fuck about with delivering them all?

Anyone tried exploring the edge of the bubble worlds to see if there is something similar but, perhaps, with more factions, improving the chances of getting a load of missions in a single direction?
>>
Spaehs
>>
>>147913394
>So, how do you do those Sothis runs?
You grind in RES stealing kills from cops with your shitty sidewinder until you get 2-2.5m to get a cobra, fit it for trading and buy a A grade friendship drive.

Then you get to sothis/ceos and stack data delivery mission going back and forth in open/group/solo to grab as much missions as you can in order to increase your local rep.

Then when ~5m+ delivery/smuggling missions start to appear you stack as much missions as you can and get that spess buck.

>I now have to buy non ricer peripherals.

It's 2016 this shouldnt be a thing anymore.
>>
>>147914297
Err, I don't need the very basics. I have my aspie parked there already.

I was asking about the missions appearing part. Do you stack everything or rather stack only one or two destinations?
>>
>>147915380
Depends of the mission type and cargo space. For all the long range delivery missions I did, the destinations weren't far apart from each other, ranging from 20 to 60ly. So I just take as much missions as my cargo can hold.

For smuggling missions I believe the same rule applie and the destinations aren't far appart from each other. But I don't like the constant interdiction spam during the trip so I tend to stick with simple delivery missions and wouldn't stack too much of them if I had no choice.
>>
>>147915380
I only pick based on cargo and payout to squeeze the most I can out of every trip. Though I use my conda so I can take at least 5 at a time depending on how much cargo each has me carry.

>>147927413

Meanwhile outright murder and cop killing gets you a 6K bounty and only very slightly annoys the faction.

>>
>>147849821

>>147929505
I always thought this was super weird. Bounties for murder should be based on the size or insurance of the ship you've killed, imo.

Now imagine if having a large bounty on your head also spawned assassination missions on the mission boards of the factions you've pissed off, so other players can try to claim it.

This isn't supposed to be a fun game, CMDR. It's a space sim first and foremost. That's why you have so many realistic sim elements, like the way pirates infinitely spawn forever in every single asteroid belt in the game, or the way wars are fought at completely arbitrary points in the middle of space for no reason. In true sim fashion, all the markets just automatically reset every so often, and can never be crashed or permanently effected in any way.

A-grade thrusters, especially tuned ones on a cutter can pull you away from anything resembling a threat before they can say 'dad'. and you can get inside of a station wicked quick if you manage your inertia effectively and come in at a considerate angle.

it'll cost you a few extra jumps but the time at the ports could well make it up.

Docking is like... 90%+ of the actual flying that these people do. What do they do? Get the game to play itself for them.

is travelling to a station 300.000 ls from the star to deliver biowaste is engaging?
there is a reason why i dont play euro truck simulator o jobs simulator. IF i wanted to do that i'd get a truck driver's licence and start working as a IRL trucker

Trading is soul crushing to some no matter what game, but some people enjoy things like that. When Bounty Bay Online was a thing, I played a merchant trading around the Mediterranean. The problem is that there's literally nothing to it in Elite because the universe is static and unchanging. The best trade routes are always around in Empire space, usually A-B-A runs trading slaves and palladium. If the universe was actually dynamic and fluid like they claim it is, then trade routes should shift dramatically constantly, and deplete quickly as more traders find out about them and fulfill the supply/demand quota.
>>
>>147957314
the fact is that i like the game a lot.I like the lore, the science, the feel. i spent 130+ hours then i abandoned it for 4 months, picked it up again and now i'm at 214 hours. but i can't have fun killing shit, trading, or even smuggling without having decent ships, and these cost TONS OF CASH.

the most fun i've ever had in this game was Daramo's war. Shit was fun, met people killed tons of ship, got killed and made like 32 mils between bounties and rewards


>>147957559
you are very correct, this game is really amazing and could be even more entertaining if it was more alive and "thriving" as they claimed it was. the wedding barge are interesting the first 2-3 times you see em, then they get boring.

i've put up with 200+h of Watch_Dogs because i liked the theme, the feel and the city even with its countless bug and technical problems.

if the game is engaging enough, even bad bugs are not that bad to me. but seeing the state of the game, they are doing what to improve?, not even fix,but improve

Piracy missions.
>>
>>147974917

Find attractive/easy cgs, grind them. A few weeks back I spent 2.5 hours hauling rares. Netted me 21mil. Last week I spent 15 minutes to turn in 120k in bounties for the cg. Got me into top 75% and 5m bracket for a fraction of an hour's work.

Many CGs are carried by small groups of turbo autists. It's therefore not difficult to find ones you like and get to the top 25 or 10% with very little effort and time.

I also never turn in exploration data, so whenever an exploration cg turns up I usually end up at the top brackets simply by dumping what I've saved up.

For me, I think the pirates were meant to be part of the mission. It would have actually been fun if the target didnt just disappear and the game decide to spawn 4 more of the fuckers when I had to leave and return.

I don't think I saw these.

just be considerate about how pin-point those weapons are with regards to how much of a bitch you're slinging around, now. there may be room for more gimbals with the lasers, but your damage distribution is solid and i like gimballed m-cannons anyways.

if you're trading, the safer option in a station-near-to-star scenario is running and burning through any further interdictions to just make it to the port.

Different factions give you different bonuses, and you get further bonuses by attaining merits with your power. Some even give you access to buy special weapons and shields.

Alright fellas, it's been a while since I've played and I'm trying to relearn a lot of things on my own.

But my roommate and I decided to boot up the game again, become wingmen, and then jump into a nav beacon and just shoot stuff for a while. We decided to head to Eravate so that we might run into actual people as well. I shot down a couple wanted ships and then one of the local enforcements started shooting at me. I figured I must have accidentally hit someone with some cross fire so I jump into super cruise to go pay off my bounty. When I look at the bottom left of my screen it only says "Hostile" not "Wanted". So I figure it's some shitty powerplay element and decide to head for Lave instead. I get to Lave's nav beacon, and I don't have a "Hostile" marking. I start scanning for ships and find a "Wanted" npc and deploy my hardpoints. The moment I do I get the "Hostile" mark again and start getting shot at by law enforcement. I've committed no crime, so they're only trying to goddamn murder me because they don't like me.

Do I seriously have to restrict myself to the systems under my faction's powerplay control? Would it be better if I associated myself with none of the factions? Why is powerplay so unreservedly shit?

You can get cops in hazres if they follow you or another player in from SC.

So basically you attack and move away from the attack point as far as possible, and security ships dont follow you?

>>148058479
Yeah, they show up wherever a crime is committed, so if you're too far away for their scanners when they show up, they'll just leave.

Yes. Literally read the mission description in your transactions tab. It says which system and station to deliver the goods to. Go there. Sell stuff in "commodities". Silently weep as you rethink the value of the time you just spent. Rinse and repeat.

Though I've seen uncomfirmed rumors of the station getting UA-bombed and having its market disabled. Only one way to find out.

>>148103391
Guys with faction logos will sometimes have "blah blah NAVY blah" missions. However, if you travel around a lot, they might be locked until relationships are cordial or higher.

Also, you don't lose progress beyond 100%. If you're actively grinding the ranks, you might actually get another mission for keepsake. Pass one, grind up the rest, pass another. Though the ranks will be further and further in-between.
>>
>>148103546
The one good change was the addition of long range missions that give good dosh. It gives me hope that one day we'll see long range missions everywhere, and not just far outside the bubble.

Every time someone discovers a good rank grind place like cubeo, Ftroop kills it in their next update.

Engineers just made it worse because fuck doing combat missions with bullshit modded as fuck NPC's.

Please report iCourier being a slower space rift despite of a lighter hull to the Fdevs. It's a bug that should be fixed.

>>148120215
I think pretty much every ship is broken in some way.

The lower speed of courier doesnt bother me as much as the poor maneuverability, one size too small distributor, and rapidly shittifying jump range as you add cargo.

the worst thing is that doing faction aligned CGs don't rank you up with that faction. I mean getting the permit for the federal Multicannon Overload ship as a reward for killing empireshit for them would be cool.

Hi dad.
>>
>>147861846

What's this Sothis shit everyone's talking about? I'm on Vanilla ED can I make jewbucks too?
>>
>>148121312
Yes you can.
Go to Sothis with a lot of cargo space and jump range. You'll get it when you see it.
>>
>>148121440
Can I go there in conda or would I be forced to land on outposts?
>>
>>148122286
Conda is the comfiest option. Cutter is the jewiest.
>>
>>148122286
There are two stations and one outpost, so you'll do fine on a large spess raft.
But you won't be able to visit Robigo on your way there for old time's sake.

>>148122573
There aren't that many single jump missions unless you go full range ones.

It seems that factions on Sothis/Ceos are getting into a state of war vs fed-affiliated (fortunately controlling factions are indie), so it seems like data transfer are going to be much less common vs massacre ships. So, you can fuck shit up there if you want.

They should, but probably won't because of the dads and their, "BOO HOO IT WASNT IN THE ELITE I PLAYED AND WHERE ARE THARGOIDS". Also, you won't find "normies" here, only "normie-wannabes" at best. As for anons, they are just the regular "hackers named 4chan" with a different fetish.

But I wish Fdev didn't paint the Empire as decadent cocksuckers with their inbred aristocracy and ships more suited for orgies than combat. If only they would put a rank-counterpart for Fun Attack Ship, otherwise, it's 2 sexy ships vs 3 brutal and heavily armed ones.

Perhaps I am a butthurt Imperial after all...

FAS gets 383MJ with 5A generator and 4 boosters and 2125MJ of SCBs with one 5B one 4B and one 3B
FGS gets 514MJ with 6A generator and 4 boosters and 2850MJ of SCBs with one 6B and one 5B

numbers speak for themselves. It can be argued the the FAS doesn't need as much shields since it's more agile and faster and therefore can avoid damage more easily but the fact remains that the FGS has the advantage in shields.

>>
>>148168137
I stopped after calculating the time it takes to get a Conda with pure grind trade. About 80 hours of pure undiluted grind to get a ship for more grinding.
Multiplayer is nonexistent. Missions are all the same shit, boring and doesn't even give good money. Smuggling is less profitable than trade and too easy. Co-op is bugged as fuck, also splits profits in half for even more grind. BH has been nerfed to oblivion, war zones are the same 3 ships spawning endlessly, low profit per ship and you have to randomly jump out because the AI decides to focus you.
Every new stuff they add is an inefficient grind one gets bored of after doing it the 3rd time.
And let's not talk about CQC.

And to think I preordered this game makes me feel like a fucking idiot.

occasionally there's a CG for it.
Yeah it's shit, in the time it takes to half fill an anacondas cargohold with mined platinum I could make triple the profit just doing bulk trades.

>There are dads who think limpets are cheating and you should manually scoop every little rock.

>>148171036
Those CGs are even worse, you make even less money than regular mining if you want to be effecient.
>>
>>148171138
The only time I ever did one was for the Pleiades station.

But really it all comes back to the original problem.

EVERYTHING is inferior to bulk trading. And Ftroop seem incapable of buffing gain in other activities.

thinking of getting this game but I don't like grinding. should I just wait for no mans sky?

I dont do mining because its pointless, all the materials I get just disappear as soon as I sell them. Mining would be a lot fucking better if they either made limpets that dont self destruct for no reason, or add tractor beams that you can put on hardpoints to automatically drag ore in. Mining pays pretty decently for what you do. Find a metallic belt in a high tech system.

thanks
is there any similar game where I can just explore and stuff in space and not have to grind like a monkey?

>should I just wait for no mans sky
No, its going to have the exact same issues this game has.

Not really.
The difference with no man's sky is we know we're just getting a space subnautica. The problem with Elite is that so much more was promised and the game will never live up to its potential due to a variety of reasons.

Unless the dads complain, then it's an EA handholding simulator.

The big issue with ED is theres no purpose in doing anything, NMS has the exact same issues from what we've seen and from the questions the devs refuse to answer.

NMS will be fun for 10-30 hours at most until you realise its Spore and ED all over again.
>>
>>148173001
By that logic there's no purpose to doing anything in any game.

Expectation shapes the experience in a game.

All the mats falling, mmm, never had so many mats before...
And it's supercomfy.

>>148172620
Limpets only self-destruct after a time-out if used right. Otherwise, it might be because of targeting something aside from prospector limpet (or nothing), spinning asteroid smashing them or you moving out of range (though they seem to be capable of moving quite fast)

>>148172629
Elite: Dangerous if you want exploring. Greedy people who don't want to explore and only want the end-game toys do the grinding and make it look like grind is everything.
>>
>>148174146
>Elite: Dangerous if you want exploring
This has to be a joke
>>
>>148173306
Nah, NMS will be the same "where do I get this and this which I need for that thing?" threads, coordinates sharing because no one can be bothered to explore and grind-grind-grind.
>>
>>148174460
If people want to spoil it for themselves that's their problem. I'll just be playing a space subnautica like a space subnautica.

If a game is a grind why play it?

Single player games are distinctly personal experiences, treating them like a multiplayer game is autism of the highest degree.

One of the main problems with elite is that Ftroop doesn't know how to make it truly multiplayer without keeping the dads happy, so we get the retarded grindfest with a static universe.

Calling NMS a grind is in the same way like calling dragon's dogma a grind. It's a single player game with only tangential multiplayer elements.

The infuriating part of elite is that beneath the grind and terrible fucking retarded decisions there's a good game that just needs competent devs to bring it out.
>>
>>148178945

Good? Elite could literally be amazing in the hands of a more competent developer.

It feels really great to fly in any ship.
The graphics look awesome, the sound makes me shit myself.

Then I remember I am alone in a heavily limited universe of boring shit.

So when I'm grinding rank via donations I should only donate to factions aligned to the superpower I'm trying to gain rank with right? Unaligned factions won't give me rank?

They did? I thought people complained and FDev explained why and that was it.

>>148181195

I didn't see much complaining, but I won't be adamant about it.

Though I'm willing to bet that the players whining about this """issue""" in their fantasy world didn't mind it at the time.
