/edg/ - Elite Dangerous General

Anacondas are shit
This is a fact

>>150166168
yeah but they're fucking huge
which means once we get space legs they'll be comfy as fuck to walk around in

Is horizons worth it?
Because i keep getting salvage missions that put the canisters falling toward the planet they orbit, and I have to keep abandoning the mission because by the time i get the other canisters, at least 1 has already fallen too far.

Will atmospheric flight ever be introduced?

How much better does the fdls jump range get if you engineer really hard?

>>150179751
Engineers can only boost Jumps by around 44% or so, so it wont make the mistake into a miracle

Why are pirates so shitty?
I mean a single dude in a cobra with only decent weapons can kill or at the very least hold off any pirate until the system authority arrives

>>150180161
Non-consensual PvP and combat should be apprehended!!

If i get Horizons, will pirates have engineering upgrades and such?

>>150181475
They have them regardless. if you get Horizons you can get them as well.

>>150179751
You can bump a combat fit FDL's jump range from 13ish to 18ish, so, acceptable, but still not great.

Bumping this thread

Guys what... I got 18% of blaster master rank from 4 to 5 by turning in 5 million in Alliance bounty.
How much do I need for that rank 5....

NMS is going to be so much better than the VISION

>>150185324
I'll believe that when NMS comes out.

Everything but the off center screen and shit jump range is great about the fdl.

Hell if i could get the fas to run run a bit cooler and faster it would be perfect

you cant target skimmers in ship now
what next frontier?

>>150185676

Moderately hyped. Everyone is shitting on it but I'm not expecting much from it. It looks like a great game to play while playing eve, atleast i can replace elite since all i do is jump honk repeat anyways.

>>150190069
>since all i do is jump honk repeat anyways.
>tfw cant discover an earthlike planet deep in the depths of space thousands of lightyears from the bubble, or even any outposts, then build a comfy little house on it, and live all alone

>>150191627

Im pretty pleased from what I saw in the leaked video, its pretty much what I expected. My only concern is that we haven't seen PC performance, and the PS4 gameplay had graphics that were a bit underwhelming, so Im hoping the PC release is better optimized to have better performance and not be a simple PC port.

What is there to do on planets?
I haven't bought horizons yet and am on the fence about it.

>>150193532
fuck all
you can only land on barren rocks with no interesting features, and shoot rocks with your laser turret
that's it besides a couple bases on planets which are the same as stations

>>150191627
>then build a comfy little house on it

That last part you can't do in NMS from what I understand.

is it worth outfitting a type-9 to run ceos/sothis?

>>150194423
What's worth it is to stop playing this shit game and go have actual fun

none of the space games coming out will lets us build ourselves a little base, like the entire game is based around exploration instead of having multiple aspects.
That's why Minecraft got so popular, because you could explore, or settle down, or explore while building structures for fun.

>>150194741
You're using the word wrong dipshit.

There's nothing edgy with pointing out that Elite is a shit game.

>>150194936

It is edgy to write that in an Elite thread.

You are like those fat beckbeards with fedoras in front of a churche but instead you are just in your underwear with some doritos dorito crumbs as tshirt.

ASP or Diamondback for exploring?
I've got a budget of 25 millions

>>150196353
AspEx.

>>150196353
You can kit out an >ASP with that money.

Is the Cutter better than the Anaconda at doing Sothis/Ceos? Should I be eager for getting it? I'm thinking of replacing my Conda with it.

What's the point? It's all the same shit anyway.
The only good thing that MIGHT come of it is you'd be on the other side of the galaxy when the Thargoids come and fuck up the bubble, but that assuming ftroop would actually make something fun, instead of just having the Thargies just interdict people mid hyperspace jump and actual stations and planets carrying on as always

Does this game have any gameplay yet?

>>150197914
NMS is turning out to be exactly what I thought it would be. It's a typical indie game with typical indie game features and typical overblown indie game promises.

You could say the same for Elite except Frontier isn't an indie dev and have no fucking excuse.

Help us, Roberts. You're our only hope.

No Man's Sky looks to be a disappointment judging from the guy who already got to the center.

I can see it now, all AI just float aimlessly and bang against stations/each other/drift into space, no one understands why until they check the AI's modules and find the Cheese commodity in every slot. Fdev then takes five months to fix the issue.

I mean they kind of are. They're self published.

>>150199357
Why can't you just be positive?

>>150199357
I'm already enjoying what we have. It's a fuckton runner than what's available in E:D, and they actually communicate with people interested. The four part ATV ep. 100 was great. Good to see all the workspaces and people doing their shit. I had my doubts back when all that bullshit with he ex employee and Derek Smart happened, but they've been fully assuaged by all the communication lately.

Sure would be nice if fdev had the same attitude towards their community

>>150199862
Only on some games, they've been published under other companies before. They've also been around for something like 20 years and published for just about every console. They're no indie dev. They just like to pretend they are.

Just got my cutter the other day
made two 63M sothis runs with it
23LY for ~688t is amazing
usually you get 23 - 25 jumps to get back from sothis
if you do make sure to get a 7A pp and a 5A scoop with it, 64 tons of fuel takes some time to fill
but because the sothis at war state it takes forever to generate haulage missions

You guys are a little too good at dadposting.

Coolio. I'm looking forward to what they've apparently done with Star Marine.

Other than that, I'm hyped for what you are hyped for + an increase the amount of players in an instance. Also AI and subsumption

Subsumption is apparently the coding technique they're using to create AI that aren't dumb as rocks. They make decisions to an end that starts a new chain of actions in response to shit that players and other AI do. I don't think it will be released this year, but seeing the AI finally come into the game, even in an dev stage, is monumental to the PU development since it's AI driven.

>>150231865
GrimHex looks really cool. I plan to be a pirate in the game, so having a place to go for now will be nice. Having Nyx, the next star system (which is done but waiting on ProcGen) is a pirate system.

>want to play but have no reason why

>>150233024

Exploring somewhat solve this for me when I got to that point. There's no real purpose other than jumping and honking and looking at cool stuff. The problem is that you'll get like 20k LY out and want to do something else and realize you'll have to spend 4+ hours backtracking so you end up just self destructing anyways. I have no idea why they are so against having multiple saves for this game, this really wouldn't be a problem then. This is the only game I have ever seen that forces you to play on a single save, like it's pretending to be a roguelike.

I just want to be able to visit a system....and save some notes.

They should have a "jump to bubble" optional module for explorers. You never know when you're going to get bored and want to go back. Shit sucks.

>>150234095

>"jump to bubble" optional module for explorers

No, they should just have more than one fucking character slot. I have argued for this again, and again, and again, and again but every time I get a front row seat to see the mental gymnastic olympics 2016 as dads try to justify why I can't play an explorer commanded and then switch to a regular bubble commander without having to fucking buy the game twice. It's completely absurd and I cannot wrap my head around that there exist people in this day and age that think that a feature included in nearly every single game in existence should be tossed aside and players should be forced to buy a game multiple times to enjoy that simple feature. I think this is my biggest issue with Elite and if they implemented multiple saves, I would enjoy the game a lot more.

>>150234095
Auto pilot would be preferable. Or >>150234512 multiple character slots instead of having to purchase the fucking game multiple times the goddamn jews.

By god, I seriously, truly believed that SC and E:D would have been the best competitors for such an empty market of modernized space games. I'm still salty over E:D essentially fucking itself for no reason.

>>150231080
fucking this. I want them to double the playercount again so that teams can actually form and do shit. Also AI.

>>150236528
The two things that keep most people from playing the current alpha are: shitty framerate, and the non-working patcher. I've heard multiple times that the reason we have shit framerate (and why they cannot make the playercount 40+ yet) is because the engine sends all of the data of every character and ship in the instance to every player, so instead of receiving the data you need for just the 6 or 7 people around Port Olisar at the time, you recieve the information from all other 24 ships and characters. It's supposed to stream the data of the instance you go to when you Quantum Drive to the place (or come within render distance if you took the week to fly there manually) to save on resources but some bug or engine hard-code prevents that. I don't know if they will address this at gamescom.

And the patcher is inexcusable - we should not have to redownload 25+ gigabytes of SC every time a patch is released that only adds 1 or 2 gigabytes.

>>150238407
>The patcher is inexcusable

Yeah. They dropped the ball with this so far. Of the issues that plague alpha testing, this one I will never excuse. Not only does it hurt them and their network/infrastructure, it's also hell on the users.

Can I get some help, I did the beginning mission, I got to the russel ring base docked and everything. Tried leaving after I docked and it isn't saying I finished it.

Additionally is there anyway to tell if I can do a mission or if it's too hard for me.

It seems that people want fans of space games to become braindead with all these pointless game.

I haven't played in like 9 months.
Do you guys seriously mean to tell me there isn't really any new content of note in that time?

And I mean actual content not just new twists on the same grind or stuff that is technically cool (planet landings) but doesn't really add any new systems to play with.

>>150239423
Engineers. Literally it.

>>150239487
My understanding is engineers is basically just missions to grind materials from sites for specific NPCs that then let you get fancier modules.
Is that right? Is this some kind of joke?

>>150240215
Engineers is essentially:

>Need to do a mission to gain favor with an engineer, usually means getting something for them
>After you gain favor with them you need to collect materials or something to give to them
>You then RNG your upgrade that you want to your weapons or your frame shift drive

>>150239224
Missions are in the transactions tab on the left screen.

No real way, difficulties listed for missions are wildly inaccurate, and even when they're accurate to the ships spawning, your ability and ship are never figured in, only your rank in the related trade (mostly harmless, etc), which is useless.

The other guy's right, by the way. The only thing waiting for you in E:D is disappointment.

>>150239224
He's not wrong, anon. Just uninstall the game now. It's not worth the time

>>150240215

NMS looks pretty good for exploration, which is all the game was about. The only problem is the bugs that have surfaced. Hopefully they can get ironed out at some point, preferably soon.

Another game that will fail for quite literally the same reason that E:D did. This time more colorful. I was actually in the threads watching NMS shitters get BTFO when the box released saying "Single Player". Fucking kek - all this time the devs said it was an "MMO (or something like that)" experience but finding people will be hard. It's Braben 2.0

>>150241374
Wait, is it? I only know 2 things: Nyx is """"finished""" but is waiting on Procedural Tech, and 2.7 is supposed to have something to do with Procedural tech. If the correlation is right, I'd say that we may very well have Nyx for 2.7 or 2.8. I don't want to assume that, but now that I think about it it seems likely.

>>150241918

>>150242190

>Fucking kek - all this time the devs said it was an "MMO (or something like that)

The game was never claimed to be an MMO. Stop listening to shitposters on /v/.

>>150242568

If exploring isn't your cup of tea, then sure, it'd get boring. For me the neat thing about exploration is seeing new things. You can't do that in Elite other than a few well placed planets. It just seems that NMS will pull that off a lot better. I enjoy exploring in Elite and I think I'll like it even more in NMS but if you don't like exploring in Elite then it's no surprise that you probably won't like NMS.

>>150242429
>don't worry you guys will have fun playing a game someday.

There's no point in arguing with you. "When you can't hear or see, you feel." - something my mom used to say. Continue playing E:D. You'll feel the VISION in no time and begin to realize why relying on PG with no backbone behind them ruins games.

>>150242723
My information didn't come from /v/. I remember them confirming that you can run into players anywhere for a multiplayer experience. I will admit I am wrong on it being MMO, but I do know they said multiplayer is a thing but highly unlikely. Only to find out, that "highly unlikely" is actually zero, since there's no multiplayer at all, otherwise the game wouldn't have said "Single Player".

>>150243169

I don't know if the "single player" on the box thing is a technicality they had to put on the box or some shit like that. I've seen enough issues with the game to hold off until a few days after it comes out to see how it is until I get it. Having that said though, I don't know why everyone keeps harping on about the multiplayer. Whether it was multiplayer or not wouldn't really change the core concept of the game, and it's probably better that it's relegated to a mostly singleplayer experience. I sometimes wish FD would have done that with Elite and made it a solid singleplayer space game with maybe a co-op mode instead of a multiplayer shitfest that doesn't know what it's trying to be.

>>150243657
>I don't know why everyone keeps harping oon about the multiplayer

Because people enjoy playing these types of games with friends. What's more fun. Exploring a huge massive game world by yourself or having a buddy tag along? Usually having a buddy tag alone is more fun. The issue regarding that "feature" is that there hasn't been a single straight answer in the last two years. Instead, it's been hinted at in interviews such as with Colbert or questions were answered vaguely or deflected with anything that had no relevance to the question at hand, or even with other games!

>>150243929

I explore by myself but yeah I can see people getting upset over that. I know that the whole thing behind the game is the mystery and what not but I do wish they would communicate things like this more clearly with everyone, there's really no reason to keep things like this hidden.

>>150243929
Hell yeah friends make it better.
Now if only korean grindfest had a game for me to play and i had friends....id never sit here and shitpost again!

>>150243657
Because playing with friends or randoms can create emergent gameplay that single player games can't? They said that it is possible but difficult. Now we know it doesn't exist and was just a lie for marketing. I would have been ok if they said it was single player from the start but this is bullshit.

Cobra is a terrible fighter but good smuggling ship.

If you want a decent fighter plan on the vulture.

>>150251284
Every excuse in the book was found to shame people into thinking they're impatient gamerboys that want everything instantly and should be happy about the new "content" that we've gotten. Also that the weapons aren't upgrades and people should stop grinding because they were never advertised as such.

Paraphrased.

>>150250368

The Cobra is the only ship you need CMDR o7

>>150250368

The Cobra MkIII is a great early game multi-role ship. It can carry lots of cargo/equipment and is extremely fast so you get to dictate most engagements if you have 4A thrusters. Maneuverability is good for a pancake but the small hardpoints are in bad locations on the underside and the ship is a big target if you present your flat surface to an attacker. The hull is fairly tough but the shields are pretty weak.

The Viper MkIII is the dedicated combat ship of the same tier as the Cobra but honestly if you can't afford a Vulture for a fighter you probably want a Diamondback Scout instead.

Anyone else haul trash?
I make some decent cash hauling trash in a type-6 to agricultural systems from industrial systems.
I hate my existence.

If i get increased magazine size on missiles, does that also increase max ammo? Also, will that wor with the packhound missile launcher? If the magazine size increase doesnt work, what should i get instead?

>Looks impressive until I remembered around half of those ships are just slight mods from the base designs

There are already more flyable base designs in the SC Alpha than there are in the released Elite.

>>150265307
>hauling shit for money
Why
There are a lot of other ways to make money
Especially with a type 6

Wait that isn't Elite's roadmap. That's what some redditard thinks SHOULD BE the roadmap for Elite.

I'm not that hopeful. I fully expect Elite to pack in it in say about 2 and a half years.

Here's something to discuss.

>>150273892
Not really.
That always happens when a hyped game is coming out and the slightly less retarded retards who preorder shit realise that the game cannot meet up their unrealistic expectations abandon ship.

>>150273892

>NMS shill isn't here to shitpost

wew

>>150274317

sad thing is the whole thread is faggots posting screenshots from Reddit and going LOOK AT THIS NMS BTFO or DAMAGE CONTROL LOL

Fucking Reddit needs to stop posting here.

>>150275342
There is no such category on that website.

The entire thread is a shitpost and lie.

I'm looking forward to it desu family. It will be an entertaining show to say the least.

If you would have told me a year ago that Starbound will release and have more compelling exploration and combat than E:D by the present day I wouldn't have believed it.

>>150279292
>desu family

>>150279292
>>NMS will literally be space subnautica

Same. I'm going to have fun with it because I have very grounded expectations. Minecraft in space is all I wanted anyway.

>>150254364
A rating a DBS will cost you something like 10M

I would advise against getting A rank shields and instead getting biweaves

>>150279292

Corvette, Clipper and Eagle in Unreal4. Dat scale.

of all the things that should be fundamentally in the game, paintjobs arent

>>150282234
If they were smart, color customization would be in the game by default. What you would buy is additional decals and templates to use those colors on.

Best place to grind fed rank?

I want a Corvette already. Bonus points if missions give mats and commodities

How exactly combat in scambound is more compelling tho?

Why I shouldn't be dissapointed by another shit game?

>>150277757
Yeah, it is, because someone else linked to it.

I don't go to beta-fuccboi echo chambers.

>>150282852
I don't remember devs stating their game is a repetitive and shallow grindfest.

>>150283113
>beta-fuccboi

That would be illegal seeing as how most posters there 13 year olds.

>>150283204
NMS has had the worst marketing campaign in recent memory and that surprising considering Sony is backing them.

>>150283204
The picture I've had of it since beginning is 'artsy Minecraft in space'
It seems to be pretty much just that.

>>150283296
>>150283296

Seems like it had the worst development campaign as well.

Hah.

>>150283454
I mean kind of. It's a minecraft clone made by a tiny indie developer.

Then they blew the whole thing into hype overdrive and were incredibly vague about what you can actually do in the game.

>the goal is a mystery
>I can't talk about the game's features
>wait to be surprised

And so on.

>>150283584
I thought you could craft shit with the material you have. Like you could build a house? You can't? You can only make equipment and upgrades?

Well then. That's a bit disappointing.

>>150283665
You can upgrade your suit, your weapon and your ship.

That's about it.

>>150283771
Eh, I'd play it for like $15, but not $60. I'll just illegally download it a few days after release.

>>150282706
What I did (and I made Rear-Admiral yesterday) is grind Sothis for creds and then grind 17 Draconis for donations, only taking 25k-575k missions and resetting the mission board. It's tedious as fuck, and lots of creds go down the drain. But it's the only viable thing.

You could also go to Sothis and switch modes 48 times to fill up on Data missions, but that's even grindier.

>>150283645
It's not a minecrat clone tho. More like modern Noctis for Facebook hipsters with shallow survival nechanics thrown in.

>>150284249
how much did you spend to get to that rank?

>>150284472
Not him, but I spent around 250 mil from recruit to Rear Admiral.
I didn't fuck around and just took every donation that was there.
I did this 8 months ago.

>>150284594
thats disheartening
but thanks anon

>>150284594
what you forgot is that donations got nerfed to hell

I just tried to jump a wanted vulture in a cobra mk 3, with 2 medium 2D beam weapons and 2 small 2E beam weapons.
I got rekt and only made it out of the RES because I boosted my ass out of there. The question is, what can i do to fuck up a vulture?
Do i have to get a combat oriented ship? Get better weapons? I'm in a high tech system, but i already have the best weapons they got.

>>150284786
You need to learn how to git gud. PvE is piss easy. Also maybe not use all beams to keep the dps up.

>>150284950
I thought i was fucking him up, his shields were constantly down and it looked like I was going to win because my shields had barely taken a hit, then he got behind me, beamed off my shields, and then got me down to 30% health

>>150284786
First of all, all beams is not a good setup. You'll burn through your WEP capacitor way too quickly with that. Go all pulses if you don't want to worry about ammo, or small beams and medium kinetics if you really want beams.

Second, you want to take into consideration the strengths of your ship VS the strengths of the ship you're fighting. A Cobra is super fast, a Vulture is super maneuverable. Get in, land some hits, and get out. It will be really tough to win a close-ranged turning fight against a Vulture, especially if you don't know what you're doing.

Third, learn to use your power distributor effectively. A big part of getting good at this game is constantly juggling your power.

>4 pips to SYS when taking damage, this reduces damage to shields by about 60%
>4 pips to ENG when you need to maneuver or get out of combat quickly
>4 pips to WEP when you need to unload on someone quickly

Some common power distributions:
>When fighting someone head-on - 4 SYS/2 WEP
>When you're trying to stay on someone's tail while shooting them - either 4 ENG/2 WEP or 2 ENG/4 WEP, depending on how agile you are
>Escaping - 4 SYS/2 ENG
