The lack of multiplayer already kinda killed NMS for me. It might be kinda fun for like 10-20 hours, but it won't replace the VISION for me just yet.

save us from this hell, roberts

>>149493740
I'm gonna still play it. Won't buy it But I want something where I can easily lean back, grab a gamepad and do nothing intensive. I agree. They've failed hard on the lack of multiplayer. Even just offering a simple p2p ability to connect friends would have been enough.

I was saying it right from the start, the moment I watched first video of a guy talking about game's vision. This game will get old withing week or two and you literally have to be an autist to play it for longer. Just like Elite

Mouse + KB , Controller or Joystick for this game?

>>149487987
>no Anaconda

idiot

>>149497629
Anaconda is for weak minded, visionless scum who are not enlightened enough to grind fed/emp rank.

>>149497545
mouse+KB

controller robs you of either one axis or one thruster axis and joystick is dad tier. The only way to justify it is dual joysticks for permanent FAOFF PVP pwnage

>>149497545
MKB easily competes with joystick. Joystick is for immersion only.

Thanks guys. I can't get to steam right now, roughly how big is the Elite Dangerous (no DLC) download?

Just a ballpark figure if you could, please.

>>149498265
6 gigs or so. Are you just buying the game now? You should wait for a sale. That's when it's more "worth it".

>>149497545
m+kb is fine, hotas is for muh immershun, even though dad memers will argue that it's objectively better (it isn't)

haven't played with a controller, can't comment on that

>>149498265
my EDH folder is 16.6 gigs

seriously tho don't do it

>>149498506
You're saying EDH is a bad game?

>>149498573
dude just read the thread and the thread before that

it's grindy as fuck, there's absolutely no MMO features (no clans, crafting but no storage, no group content, etc), and the vocal minority is all Ftroop tries to appeal to, the GenXers and boomers who played the first game in the late 80's who still hold that game as the pinnacle of gaming

if you're going in expecting pretty sights that's OK but forget about any kind of depth. All there is to do is combat, haul shit, mine or stare at loading screens while honking empty systems

powerplay is completely separate from the rest of the game, is grindy as fuck and has no incentive to play beyond "yay I did the thing" AND it's completely broken on top of that

what the steam page of the game shows you is literally false advertising

>>149499375
Ok thanks I'm gonna go back to WoW then :^)

That bug was happening in fucking beta. It's absolutely unacceptable that it persists. fdev is a fucking joke.

>>149497545
m+kb will do you fine
joystick is just as good, but dont waste money on a fancy one just for Elite
i've heard that controller is good

but you'll have to make your own conclusions on each method desu

does this game play well on the Vive?

>>149497545

M+KB is more precise for aiming fixed weapons or evading interdiction because a mouse is the most precise input device the game supports.

On the other hand a good stick + throttle setup will give you full analog control and provides better overall control of your ship.

For example I have a full CH setup for flight sims (stick, throttle and rudder pedals) which I'm using for ED. It gives me full analog control of all axes, throttle and even lateral thrusters via an analog microstick on the throttle. I use them constantly to stay out of firing arcs, reduce relative motion for my own fixed fire and for FA-off shenanigans.

I still use the mouse occasionally though; fighting an interdiction is like balancing on the head of a pin and I don't need to worry about thruster control in supercruise so I'll grab the mouse during those. The precision comes in really handy there.

>>149509029

5/5 bretty gud

>>149508206
By the time you have a good enough ship to use them for anything, they'll already be useless. They're a crafting material used by Engineers, but in a patch coming in the next few weeks, they'll no longer be used for any recipes. They'll only be for unlocking Marco Qwent, but that's a long way off for you. You're safe to just sell them.

>>149497078
they're commodities for RNGneer crafting but you need a shitload of other stuff to roll shit. Just sell them.

they're gonna be retired in a few weeks anyway when they patch engineers

>>149509029
Really good as a PvE combat ship, not so amazing for PvP. You can maybe overpower some dads who don't know how to high wake, but there are much better options for PvP.

>>149509938
>there are much better options for PvP
which one ?

>>149510163
FDL, hell even the FAS or the Viper III

>I can't use FAOFF

full multi gunship with 6A shields two boosters and two SCBs can out tank a FDL

>>149514247
>assumed implications

It still maneuvers like a boat compared to a kitted FAS or Vulture and will get absolutely wrecked in PvP by them with equally skilled pilots.

>>149514247
FGS is good as fire support in a wing, but struggles 1v1 against an equally skilled pilot in a faster, more agile ship.

why do the fed ships look like sour piss?
the only decent one is the corvette

the cheap plastic look of the imperial vessels isnt much better

devs need to work on more aesthetically pleasing spacecraft before they even think about addressing other issues

>>149515516
I like the look of the FAS.

>>149500142

I believe that player interdictions are even worse, as in it's impossible to actually escape one.
People have resorted to unspoken rules on interdictions because the game sure as fuck doesnt have any.

>>149515516
Honestly this is the least important issue facing the game. Yeah, most of the ships are either really plain looking or look like toys, but there are severe issues with the core mechanics of the game.

I mean, we're over one and half years into the game, and there are still game-breaking bugs with core mechanics, and the primary gameplay loop is just repeating the same activities over and over again without any incentive aside from credits.

This game is just a complete fucking mess. Ship aesthetics come last.

>>149519678

No but the Cutter and Corvette are practically impossible to get now if you weren't around before to grind faction ranks.

>>149519678
No, but you will need to sell your soul

>>149521824
It's an opening for another Anon to bump the thread, my friend.

>>149516198

It's far easier to perform an interdiction against another player than it is to evade from one.

Unlike an escape vector, a tethered ship in front of you won't fly off screen faster than you can pitch, nor glitch behind you or rapidly blink in two different directions.

It's so much easier that even a Cutter can interdict anyone with pretty much zero chance of escape if they're competent.

Go to the station you were getting fed rank from, and cycle through open/private/solo, each time checking the board's Fed aligned mission givers until a mission titled Federal Navy something something pops up, that'll be your promotion mission.

is the bulletin board slow because brabo dont want us to cheese his vision?

I have no idea. It seems as if the missions have to be fetched from the server, but there's no fucking reason for that to happen. It's not a shared pool. They are generated individually for each player. I can generate new ones for myself by switching between Solo/Group/Open.

I don't have a fucking clue why it takes this long. Even more baffling, though, is why the FLYING FUCK they don't do that loading EARLIER. Like, when I ask for docking permission perhaps. That'd make sense.

To be fair it is more of an industry standard for the trailer to be either pre-rendered or contain a bunch of scripted events from the game to make the game seem more organic.

Yeah, got promoted to warrant officer and it gave me a blank message saying I was promoted to rear admiral.

Can't even fix simple shit like that, man.

You know, if they announced an optional subscription service with the express purpose of using those funds to fix bugs, and made themselves contractually obligated to that effect, I would consider subbing. Because as it stands nothing is getting fixed, their spaghetti code continues to tangle, and all they do is continue working on the next $60 expansion full of nothing.

Okay, I wouldn't, but leagues of forumdads totally would.

Can someone explain me how do i rank up on the federation? I was 100% recruit a few days ago and i got a message that i was now cadet but it still said i was recruit on my computer. Then i got another message saying i was midshipman and then a day later i saw my rank was cadet.

They're on the forums because they're attention whores but the amount of furries playing ED is much lower than SC, I try to keep distance from those people.

>>149598663
It's probably close to equal per capita, there's far less people in the E:D community period.

are pack-hound missiles worth for PVE? any better alternatives?

>>149599435
They're worth it for the audiovisual aesthetics.

>>149599435
You want longevity for PvE. Lasers, multicannons, PAs, and cannons are all popular PvE weapons because they have high ammo counts, or never run out of ammo in the case of lasers.

Weapons with high burst but low ammo are more popular for PvP, like rails, missiles, and torps. PAs are also pretty good for PvP, and if you want sustained DPS with maximum shield strength, all multicannons is also bredy gud

>>149601203
What about frag cannons?

>>149598663
>the amount [. . .] playing ED is much lower than SC
ftfy

>>149601319
I almost forgot those exist. Those are really strong for PvP on certain ships, just somewhat rare. You want high speed and good agility to use them well. FAS is a great ship for frags.

>>149601203
pack hounds have 120 rounds tho

now imagine that with rank 5 high cap mags, we're talking between 180 and 240 missiles per launcher. Perfectly viable for PVE IMO

Having to scan a ship that is clearly a pirate is an arbitrary limitation, which makes no sense to me. Does my ship's computer alert the authorities if I shoot before I clear the scan? Why the fuck does it do that?

Yup you go make a world cup strategy that renders the criticisms you lay at the feet of Hodgson null and void and then do a kickstarter to turn that strategy into a cup win, I am certain you will be a millionaire, surely you are onto something and must have the abilities to produce something so superior to what we have here in English national football team right...

This just in: If you are not yourself a distinguished expert on the subject on which you are criticising someone, your complaints are automatically invalid even if factually correct!

I hate this meme in all its iterations

I could get behind that. Beats the hell out of futilely trying to jump out while under fire from a half dozen mad cops so that I can run away and pay my fine.

>>149617060
And it will break EVERYTHING because they're rushing it. Can't wait for exploits.

Why do I play solo-mode?
That's easy...
I play ED with my son. He doesn't know how to dog-fight or even fly very well. It's very amusing to even watch him land at a starport. I go and grab some popcorn and a beer and enjoy the free comedy.

All kidding aside, I like playing ED with my son. Being a disabled vet, there are somethings I can not do right yet...working on it...but this I can do now...it works. So I like it.

Sure, we could play another game, but this has the aspects of game-play we like...so we play it. Better yet, we even have an option to play together.

That might not be someone elses answer, but that's why I play Solo.

>halfway to Jaques

I've made a mistake.

>>149622369
I hope you brought lotsa UAs.

Im going to buy a python with only 60 million credits, am I going to uninstall?

>>149622469

Is it even possible to haul UA's that far?

>>149622369
>tfw 21k light years from Jaques
Why?

>>149622687
I bought it anyway, I love it.

>>149622687
>Im going to buy a python with only 60 million credits
how do i make the big moneys like you?
I'm still just running around doing 30k missions

>ram ship into landable planet
>spin out from sc 70km from base
>turn of thrusters, just gonna terminal velocity down to the base
>go take a piss
>come back to rebuy screen

>get interdicted by some iEagle
>spend the next 15 minutes trying to ram him with my mines only Robigo Aspie

Got very close on a couple of swipe but just couldn't manage it.

So, if I'm understanding this right, if I get the engineer special "autoreload" on my multis, I can fire indefinitely?

fuckin

does horizons come with the base game or not
im so confused

>>149638327

How can I tell who is an NPC and who is a live player?

Nobody uses the local chat so I'm not sure if I've even seen another person or not.

>>149639259

Players will show up as hollow squares on your radar instead of filled in squares.

>>149639259

>it's gotten to the point that people dont know what the player icon looks like because they go days without seeing another human

>>149602696

For someone so isolated and in desperate need of supplies, Jacques doesn't pay all that well.

>>149613082

Not that guy, but CH equipment is god tier and will probably outlive you.

>>149634270

Autoloaders move ammo from your magazine into the weapon at a fixed rate, but it's slower than the fire rate so you still have to take firing breaks.

The upside is that you never start a fight with only a couple rounds in the weapon.

I'm a fan of CH as well, they are comfortable for the price, but my CH stick and throttle lasted equally as long as my Saitek setup: 2 years.

I really suggest if you know you want to use HOTAS to just save up to a Warthog or get a VKB stick and CH throttle.

GOD
I JUST GOT MY CONDA

WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO IN THIS GAME ANYMORE

I THOUGHT
I THOUGHT
THERE WAS MORE SHIT TO DO

it's like a big curtain
revealing the prize I've been waiting all along
suddenly, it turns out,
there was nothing there all along.

holy shit, I'm so bored now. Should I grind rep now and get a corvette?

>>149644157

Conda is a really nice mining ship. I don't get why people grind to an Anaconda, it's the worst thing you can do. Nothing changes when you get an Anaconda, you just can trade more volume. It's not even the best for combat anymore since the AI can glue itself to your fat ass.

It'd be a real shame if their quality has declined that much. My CH fighterstick (gameport) withstood around 6 years of heavy use followed by over a dozen more years stored in a box in a garage before being reused for a retro gaming PC (Xwing/Tie Fighter, Mechwarrior, Earthsiege, etc). The only maintenance it needed was reapplying grease so the stick doesn't cause the trims to move with it.

Surprised it didn't need the pots replaced, but they use crimp terminals inside the stick like on arcade gear to hook everything up so it'd be a trivial thing to do anyway.

>>149644673
It really could be that I've had bad luck with my sticks. I've owned two CHs and two Saiteks and they've all lasted the same time of around two years.

>>149644673
>CH fighterstick

CH F-16 Combat Stick, rather. Just double-checked. Model# FSP863D0

>>149645008

What was the mode of failure? Did they all break in the same way? I've heard of CH sticks developing quirks but they were typically easy to correct.
