There are people for scale in the bottom right of the image. It's not that giant.

>>152208529
I see them. it's like 3.5 auroras of pure hull

>>152208654
Your sense of scale is fucked up then.

It's smaller than the Reliant.

>>152208654
You mean height wise?

So I recently bought elite dangerous and I loved the dog fighting from this one mission i did early on to kill some pirate lord, unfortunately after that the only combat missions I could find were massacre missions that had me fighting in high intensity conflict zones against NPCs who were master or higher.

Any way to be able to just find a system where i can jump in early on and fight some NPC ships?

Or is there a certain equipment level I should have beforehand?

question! why do you combine both sc and ed generals in 1 thread?
Also, when is the next sc sale? I want to buy a qt ship

>>152208724
>autism the post

you're literally retarded, it's freelancer scale you autist

>>152208915
probably because both games have a very similar niche audience and if they weren't combined then we'd have 2 dead threads.

>>152209000
Try going into 3rd person mode by a ship, they are way bigger than you think. No idea why you are chimping out over this disagreement, is something wrong?

>>152208741

you don't have to accept missions, try flying to nav beacons, or resource excavation sites, or even low intensity conflict zones. target npc's and check to see if they're wanted, then you can kill them and get a digital voucher for their bounty. you can claim them in the contact section in a starport.

a kill warrant scanner will reveal more bounties in other systems, and net you more credits.

in a low conflict zone you can literally just go into the functions tab and select a faction to side with, and shoot npcs all of the day. they give combat bonds, not unlike bounties.

in resource excavation sites you can see pirates making their rounds and attacking miners, they'll even often approach you and scan you to see if your a pinata or not. the highest level excavation zone contains no system authority vessels, hazardous, i think.

>>152209582
Is Hillary Clinton a liar?

>>152209776
No, if you go into highres you're going to be against dangerous/deadly/elite/master. Not a big deal, though, just follow them around (they won't aggro on you) and wait for the space cops to show up and start the fight for you.
Then you can either help the cops or wait until he's low on hp and finish him.

>>152209953

Nope.

>>152207046

You would think they would do Crusader first since it's literally half of a gas giant with a solid core.

>>152210190
They probably want to get a land based area out first for people to try out.

I'm the chromatic aberration

>>152210059
t. Killary

>>152210054

aren't there lowRES now though?

>>152208349

Take "starter" with a grain of salt. The Reliant filled that slot. The Terrapin probably be priced similarly to the Prospector. Maybe a little less.

>>152210190
I think the idea at first was to make several very different landing zones (ArcCorp, Terra and Nyx), to show off the different sorts of places you'd visit, and then when they hired the germans who came up with the procedural planet stuff, they found themselves able to actually model Delamar in game and have you fly down to the surface, so they accelerated Nyx's development to shove it in early. There is a half finished Terra landing zone somewhere on their databanks too, but it'll be a while before we see it. They are going to go for Hurston and then Microtech next I think to fill out Stanton.

>>152210432
Yeah, but the money isn't as good. Highres really isn't that dangerous unless you get too greedy and start picking fights you can't win.

>>152210702
Dunno. They've both been UA bombed on console

>>152210773
>console
hahahaha, I forgot this exists. ED on console. Hilarious

>>152210702
UA bombed. Go to robigo

>>152210702
Ceos is UA bombed, Sothis is still fine, currently in war state and giving wartime illegal transportation missions for 7-9mil for only around 20 cargo at the moment.

>>152210432
If you're worried just do a few trips in a LowRES and you should find yourself comfortable enough to try HighRES pretty quickly. HazRES is rougher since there are no cops to help you out.

>>152210843
Memes aside, it's really not that bad.

>>152210054
So then there really isn't much of a way to go around shooting npc ships as a fresh player until you build a bank and get better equipment?

>>152210773
Galaxy is shared, so it should be the same for everyone.

>>152210954
ideally yeah you'd wait off on doing any kind of dog fighting until you have at least a decently fitted vipermk3 or something then it becomes more feasable but that can be ~20hrs in for a new player just getting used to the game.

Low intensity resource extraction sites are pretty safe, I think you can even get mostly harmless spawns there.

>>152210954
Depends on what you mean by "shooting NPCs". If you want to go around pirating or 1v1ing NPCs, then you're going to need good gear. All you have to do in RES zones is shoot the baddie once every 10 seconds or so and you'll get the bounty regardless of whether you killed him or not. Really easy money.

>>152210885
>UA bombed

Non ED player here, what does that mean?

>>152211420
There are alien objects you can deliver to certain stations. Eventually once enough are delivered they "Interfere" with the station and shut down the electronics so you can't do anything there except land.

>>152211420
There's an item in the game called Unidentified Artifact. Selling these to a space station's black market shuts down basically all of the station's services and ruins fun for pretty much everyone

>>152211420
Bombed by an Unmanned Aerial [Vehicle]

>>152211264
i just wanna dog fight a lot, but I guess that's what arena is for, yet i figure arena is a deserted mode.

>>152211420
Unknown Artifacts are an alien cargo thing you can find. If players sell too many at a station the stations systems will start shutting down. Players mostly use it to troll each other.

>>152209556
If you just want to quickly jump in and kill some shit for decent money, RES is better.

However, if you're willing to sit there and refresh the mission board to stack combat missions, you can make a LOT more money with CZs, like 20-25mil/hr easy.

It's also worth noting that the Powerplay rating bonuses provided by Hudson, Lavigny-Duval, and Antal all count towards both bounty vouchers and combat bonds, so look at getting involved with one of those powers if you really want to maximize your combat income.

Probably, but at least in the video it's little autocannons were fucking up a Cobra's hull.

>Normally I would expect to see some more content to go along with something like a giant space dock.
True, we will never see military missions where you have to attack an under construction capital ship to prevent it's completion.

>>152214168
ED could really use some shit missions where you have to go out and shoot down a bunch of enemy scanners or something and they can go full sentry turret and shoot at you.

>>152214114
Is it really worth the time it would take you to build it?

>>152214546
If you sold it to other forum shitters, sure.

On those massacre missions...do the stack? If you get kill 46 and kill 15 do they need just 46 to finish both?

I ask because 17 draconis is giving out those missions in droves on refresh. I of course ditched my weapons but they seemed to be paying alot.

>>152214168

I probably sounded like a prick. I'm sorry. There's barely any way for me to be optimistic about Elite anymore. I hope the fighter turns out to be good, maybe it'll give me reason to get Horizons during the winter sale.

Why is unlocking Palin so god damned obnoxious? Get Elvira to rank 3, then get Sirius to allied, then get Sirius permit, then get Qwent unlock permit mission, then get 25 modular terminals for qwent, then get rank 3 with qwent, then travel 5000 light years away from the bubble to meet palin, then gather 25 unknown fragments to unlock palin. What the SHIT, man.

>>152214845
Yeah, they stack. You can make butt loads of money that way.

>>152214845
Yes, they stack. So if you somehow get 20 kill 108 missions for 10mil each, you only have to kill 108 total.

>>152214951
Palin has the best upgrade, rank 5 dirty drives

>>152214943
Nah you are right, it'll probably be shit or at best just a gimmick that's fun for a few minutes.

What do you call it when you know you should hate something, you know that, objectively, it's not good, but you love it anyway, and you can't quite explain why?

Well, friend-o, you call it Elite Dangerous.

>>152214481
ED could use more combat focused missions and more dog fighting in general that everyone can do.

I think the lack of early thrilling fast combat action is what gets a lot of new players to drop the game.

>>152215072
Is there any faster way of grinding unidentified fragments other than finding USSes? All I got left to do is fly the distance and grind the UFs.

>>152216067
Yeah, google tip-offs. There are planets with crashed Anacondas and a UA next to them. You can mode switch to spawn a new UA. Takes like 15 minutes to get 25 fragments this way.

Why do I get the feeling that Braben would rather be hosting Cosmos or NOVA than making a game?

>>152216173
so let me get this straight. there's this item in E:D, that if enough are gathered on a station, all the services there shut down. and you can exploit something called mode switching to generate dozens of them from a single node? did they think this through at all? what is even the actual purpose of these UA things?

>>152216526
Ohhh. I get it. I thought you were telling me to google them to see what they were, not for specific ones listed by the community.

>>152216668
They're part of the alien bullshit. Meta-alloys are also alien stuff, and they cure the bombed stations.

>>152216668
>what is even the actual purpose of these UA things?
it's all about the mystery brah

>>152216668
They degrade your ship's modules if you take them on board. UA bombing is tough to do as a result, and generally requires a dedicated group to spam them. You can also counter it with meta alloys, which can be purchased, so it's never more than a temporary set-back.

>>152216668

The only purpose UAs serve is for FD to have something to point at when someone says Elite has no emergent gameplay.

>>152216173
>>152216309

It's a mystery people are trying to solve to get the ayy lmaos. Honestly the amount of effort and theorizing that is going into this rivals shit I've seen Kojima fans go through. Pic related was found after running the sounds they make through some audio program.

>>152217087

I actually like it a lot. I didn't expect that at all.

It's only a bit bigger than a Star Destroyer. Apart from the warp-in though they don't move in-game.

Assuming the Farragut is just a upsized Corvette it will weigh at the very least 100k tons without taking any internals or hard points into consideration.

>>152223631
Farragut should be retarded heavy. It's very roughly the same shape as a Corvette, so if it weighs the same per m3 it should be around a million tonnes.

I guess they're only in ED because they we in Elite. I doubt much though went into it back then.

They shouldn't even be normal missions. Just a slider where you can pick how much to donate. Maybe like a mini-CG once they reach a certain amount the donation drive finishes. The only thing the current system does is force you to try relogging to reset the missions.

I had a Cobra MkIV chasing me a while ago for a good 5 minutes before I noticed he was after me while I was scanning for eng data.

I saw his threat in comms when I jumped into the system but then nothing happened so I figured he glitched and didn't spawn.

Turned out he was trying to get behind me the entire time but could never manage it.

Fucking Cobra IV. Is it or the Viper IV good for anything?

>>152232153
>Has actual people
I dunno

>>152232785
Viper IV is basically babby's first python

I was looking at getting into SC. I understand it's just dogfighting in the game right now, but I'd like to get into comfy space trucking/exploring when they're released.

What's a good place to start with SC?
How do I filter the shop to ships I can actually fly?

>>152232785

The Viper IV isn't all that bad as a cheap multipurpose in a similar niche as the Cobra III. Especially if you prefer to duke it out with AIs rather than run from them.

It's tougher and physically smaller than the Cobra III with better weapon convergence, and cargo capacity is comparable if you fit your shield in the size 3 slot, where it still gives you stronger shields than the Cobra III with a size 4 shield generator.

I can't think of a single good reason to use the Cobra IV though. 5 hardpoints with good convergence, but no speed or maneuverability to use them and still only a class 3 distributor. It's also too fragile to be space turreting in reverse against nimbler ships. Then there's all those internals but lackluster jump range and too little speed for exploration, small cargo runs or smuggling. Basically all the pros they aimed for are rendered null by its cons.

>>152234001
get an aurora, and when its full game release, work your way to that ship you want.

>>152234001

I was looking at the avenger, but I like the look of the 'titan' with the cargo hold over prison cells, those prison cells are useless, right? Can I swap the cargo hold into the stalker? Or do I have to buy the Titan for that config?

Someone said the CIV makes an okay mining ship. Don't mine myself though so can't comment.

>>152234658
yeah, its pretty weak, if you do want to start off hauling then the avenger titan is meant for that.
There is modularity in the game, don't remember if it applies to the avenger's cargo/prisoner/etc. though.

>>152206106

>>152235183
Is the titan not out yet? You might be able to wait for LTI on the Titan when it's first released then.

Also I think you need a 45.- pack to get both games or so. But don't quote me on that.

>>152234658
>Will I just spend my time in alpha getting my shit pushed in?
You can get ships for free (by playing) for the alpha.

>>152235349
I know but really at this point I just want a proper offline mode where I can have multiple saves and cheat if I get bored

>>152235206
You can play solo. The problem is for people who want to play it online for pvp/co-op.

>>152235461
They promised it and ditched it at the last second, pretty much the opposite of NMS

>>152235359
I just noticed they're selling sq42 separately now. it can be bought packaged with an aurora for $60, which is great versus buying sq42 individually for $45
so buy aurora package with sq42 if you want it, then upgrade to the titan

>>152235483
>You can play solo. The problem is for people who want to play it online for pvp/co-op.

You realize that people playing solo IS the main problem for pvp/co-op, right

>>152235597
>>152235359
I'm gonna pick up the Mustang SQ42 pack for 60, then upgrade the mustang to the titan.

The Aurora is only worth $25 "trade in" as opposed to the mustangs $30.

He guides through all storms
Into the land of gentle winds.
Though we sleep by the snake's den,
He guards our dreaming souls.
Shunning the desert heat,
He hides us in a cool hollow.
The gleaming of his white teeth
Guides us in the night.
By the braids of his hair
We are lifted up to heaven!
Sweet fragrance, flower-scented,
Surrounds us in his presence.
He comes from the east,
The sun stands at his back.
All things are exposed. In the full glare of light-
His eyes miss no thing,
Neither light nor dark.
Vision writes on clean sand!
Braben . . . Braben . . . Braben . . .
He stills all storms-
His eyes kill our enemies,
And torment the unbelievers.
From the spires of Achenar
Where dawnlight strikes
And clear water runs,
You see his shadow.
In the shining summer heat
He serves us bread and milk-
Cool, fragrant with spices.
His eyes melt our enemies, torment our oppressors
And pierce all mysteries
He is Braben . . . Braben . . . Braben . . .Braben . . .

I like the Freelancer just fine, but it's a little too... camper looking to me, you know?

What's the problem? You give me 10 dollars on friday and then 1,000 dollars on saturday, I'm obviously just going to be thankful you gave me money on two separate occasions, the amounts don't matter at all

yes

when modding a combat ship, you're better off modding a same size FSD on a ship with better jump range then transferring it. Good example is the Corvette and the Anaconda. Mod shit on the conda, then transfer to the vette.

If your ship has very limited internals (FDL, Vulture) the last thing you should be modding are SCBs since their mods are only rank 1 and do not require commodities. Replace SCBs with cargo racks, mod everything else then swap cargo racks for SCBs, then mod the SCBs
