I'm not sure...it would depend on two things:

A) You need to be able to pilot one early in the game

B) You need to be able to transition between SQ42 and the PU (i.e. you need to be able to leave with the ship into the PU). I know you can do it at the end but I'm not sure if it's up to you to just give them a fuck you at any time.

The only thing confirmed by CR is that you get to keep a ship at the end of the campaign (probably a Hornet), but you probably get paid a little.

>tag a ship NPCs are already shooting - get money. yay spaceships \o/
Point ship at target, wait for scan to finish. If it says WANTED. You can waste him.

>there are so many fucking factions, it doesn't matter. Can I influence which faction comes on top?
Yes there are too many factions. Yes you can influence who is leading. No it doesn't matter. Not even cheap fuel or preferential docking.

>pledging allegiance to a figurehead
>how does it fucking work?
Powerplay sucks.

>I'm building some experience in that, but how do I record which systems I've already explored?
You can't as far as I know. It doesn't really matter cause even a small change in destination will send you along a new line of systems. 400 billion star systems and all that.

>gravity influencing speed but where is the math?
I don't think anyone has seen the actual maths.

You can wash out by stealing the ship. You are hostile to UEE in the PU when you start, though.

Apprently, if the Gamescom presentation is anything to go by, you can at least do that kind of job by freelance contract. Not sure if you can make a career out of it, yet.

>>153524476
Still, a salvaging career with a side job of freelance insurance investigation goes together handily. Take proof and evidence, scrap ship, all profit.

ED Question.

What does flight assist even do? If I hold a button on my throttle, it turns it off. Just wondering, because I think of a use for that button other than flight assist.

>>153525603

>>153526660
Turns your space world war 2 fighter plane into space fighter; flight assist tries to make the ship fly in the direction you're facing with it off you're subject to inertia and you can have your ship facing one way while continuing to move in the other.

Helps if you've seen Babylon 5 or something like that.

>>153526660
Flight Assist On means thrusters fire to try to make the ship fly like an aeroplane.
Flight Assist Off means thrusters do not fire unless you tell them, so you can slide around and all that. In ED it also disables rotation correction which makes it tough to use with fixed weapons.

>>153526950
Explain the Starfarer's crew then. Face it, player is some degenerate who never takes their spacesuit off.

>>153526981
So with Flight Assist off, I can pull the same crazy turns and back flips like in Battlestar Galactica?

Noice.

Last one your weak bait is getting from me.

so basically MFDs are confirmed useless fluff once again that won't be in your default FOV and we're back to having stuff covering half your helmet again? That will suck for headtracking. I hope I can turn off the visor and change the FOV so I can easily look at the MFDs like in other sims

>>153530793

If this >>153492724 is to judge by, the MFDs are going to be reworked to not be useless. I don't recall one hundred percent, but even in Falcon BMS you need to look down to use the MFDs

>>153530441
t. shitter with no taste

>>153527050
Really wish there was a version that kept only yaw/roll correction, but I guess that's the git gud cost for the potential gain.
As it is most players are probably better off toggling it at key points.

>>153531137
You do as with most flight games. I'm shit at it but firing some weapons is almost entirely looking at the MFD.

Personally they need to just put important info into the HUD but not clutter it as much as it was earlier. Weapons status for example can be shown when it's relevant only and then I'd put it somewhere in the center with the regular display.

Fire groups and all could be handled similar to elite where they are on an MFD or whatnot.

dbs any good for exploring?

Please, no more reminders that we could have had significant ship changes instead of rainbow lasers.

>>153531372
It's kind of shitty and artificial but FDev specifically said they wouldn't do that because it's by far the best way to fly. Like you said it's normally better to switch between the two. Even Isinona who only flies FAOff only does it because he enjoys it, he says switching is more efficient.

>>153531664
Play around on Coriolis and see what you can get. Then if you can be bothered with Engineers the FSD range upgrade can give you extra on top of that.

I forgot to mention, I'm especially mad that the bodykits aren't part of engineers. These fuckers can make modifications to your weapons but they can't slap on some extra metal to your ship. Instead FDev is selling them as another microtranscation

>>153530793
>>153531137
I guess I missed that "support screens" are not just in the visor but physical too.

>>153531796
Engineers will push it further if you have it. The limit for an Anaconda used to be around 40ly but now I've got one at just over 52, and it's a trading setup that still has Class-5 shields.

10 hours worth of missions to get these, "ubiquitous" and "sold at markets for a minimal price" are lies, they're mission reward only.

That's a pretty big increase, and the stock Asp explorer has a cargo hold of like 72, too right? Can't wait to upgrade.

>>153536446
>Is the increase in range on the Asp that huge?

34LY unladen with a stripped trade fit

Cobra should be able to do like 25LY unladen with a trade fit though.

A shieldless Cobra with 2A fuel scoop can hold 56 tons but refueling takes over 3 minutes. If you cherry-pick low tonnage missions you can probably grab at least three worth 5mil each. Smuggling missions that tell you to go to Ceos for further instructions frequently have low tonnage and high payout but they will send you to a random system in the bubble which may have a station 300Kls from the star; it's just a risk you have to take.

>>153536634
Keep in mind you need to be able to afford the FSD to get the range. The 5A an Asp takes runs 5mil by itself.

The Asp is 20% off in Alioth. Needs a permit you get by doing missions for Alioth Independents in the systems around Alioth, though.

Otherwise you can go to systems under Li Yong-Rui for 15% off all ships and outfitting. I bought my Asp at Ray Gateway in Diaguandri way back.

So i've headed out to sothis inna DBS

I feel this may have been a slightly retarded choice but I am still in povertymode.

Do I just dump my shield gen and cram as many cargo racks as possible on it?

The way the game handles hunter npcs is a fucking mess. It just flat out spawns the npc ship behind you no matter where you are.

I've also once had two identical same npc ships in the same instance after it interdicted me.

>>153539098
NPC ships also ignore a shitload of rules in supercruise.
They are all incredibly agile, able to turn on a dime, can accelerate and decelerate far faster than a player can as well as having a higher top speed.
They also have increased range on their interdiction and dropping out at stations range

>>153539248

Ever watched wings of NPCs? The wingmen can literally fly sideways in SC in order to stay in formation.

It's not like they're just pitching really fast, either. You can watch them through the target hologram and they're not even pitching in the direction of their sideways slide.

>>153539842

and how do I do that

>>153540385

do missions for fed factions. Once you reach 100% the navy will ask you to do some shit for them

>>153540385

Do missions for Federation-aligned factions. Over in the right hand panel you can see your progress towards the next rank. Once it hits 100% start looking for a navy ascension mission to go up a rank.

Petty Officer is the 4th rank in the Navy and gets you a permit to enter Sol. On a related note the 5th is Chief Petty Officer and it gets you access to the Federal Assault Ship.

>>153539538

There's no persistence. The game just generates a new instance of the NPC with the same template. Used to be their entire ship loadout could change with each new copy but I think it's part of the template now.

Now

What do you think is the most impactful engineer upgrade after FSD jump range? Shields, weapons?

>can't connect to frontier servers

>>153522630
The Frame Shift Drive (FSD) enables ships to travel at incredible speeds within star systems (via supercruise) as well as between star systems (via hyperspace).

Rather than accelerate a ship through space, the frame shift drive moves space around a ship to allow it to travel faster than light without using extreme amounts of energy or experiencing time distortion.

Frame shift drives use a modified Alcubierre Drive design to compress space in front of ships in supercruise.

Frame shift drives enable ships to enter hyperspace, a region with more dimensions than normal space, in which extremely fast travel is possible. Hyperspace jumps rely on quantum mechanics, as the destination of any given jump must be known before the jump is made, and the amount of energy needed to complete the jump is discrete.

>>153541412
>I get the feeling while in FSD space that seconds come to measure distance and meters time to arrival, and it could be the case with gravity influencing speed but where is the math?

The FSD is inhibited by mass. The more mass and especially the closer you are to it, the lower your effective top supercruise speed and the slower you can accelerate/decelerate. The impact on your ability to decelerate is why you'll overshoot your destination if you don't throttle down soon enough.

Dense objects you can get very close to can have strong effects even if they're not very massive overall.

Since this is all happening in real time your ETA counter can appear misleading, since it's always showing your ETA at your current speed right that very instant, which could be slowing each subsequent second as you approach a massive object.

You can go to Sothis in anything. Small cargo capacity will just force you to log in and out of open/solo to refresh the mission board until it RNGs up one that'll fit in your hold and still pays millions.

>>153542916

Sag A* was never changed to be heat-less like other black holes and will actually boil your face off. You drop out of SC so close that you'll never get back out before your hull collapses. Do not fuck with Sag A*.

I encourage everyone to go nowhere without at least one Heat Sink launcher and n A-rank fuel scoop. With engineers even a D rank power plant can do just fine, and it's a lot more economical on the weight.

Old news but I remember the dads saying that not having numbers (only letters) and forcing players to test everything in combat was great and not handholdy and super immersive. Then FDev changed outfitting so almost all the numbers are upfront. Fantastic.

>>153543353

PROTIP: You actually get a bit more power, lower weight and retain max heat efficiency if you get the A-ranked power plant that's one size smaller than the D-rank you were looking to get.

SERVERS WHEN

Do I need any rep or someshit for sothis or can I just grab a Hauler or Adder and just do a few runs?

Currently close to Sol

>>153544194
When you get to sothis you'll need to do courier runs between sothis/ceos to pump your rep.

>>153544271
Is Ceos still ded?

>>153544369
nah both are up

are the servers functional yet

>>153544194

You need rep but you can get that by doing data delivery missions that take you between Sothis and Ceos.

Very rarely they'll even spawn multi-million-credit cargo hauling missions for the other system right next door. Only take those if they specify what station you're delivering to. If it doesn't say, it's going to give you a new destination back in the bubble as soon as you jump.

If I had to do start over again, this is what I'd use to get to Sothis:
https://coriolis.io/outfit/hauler/0p3t3F0l3d3s3f2---3002012h.Iw19A===.Aw19A===
Hauler with A drive, D everything else, class 3 fuel scoop and the basic scanner (or best you can afford while still affording insurance). Honk and scan every star till you reach Sothis, sell the data for influence once you get there. Swap out the fuel scoop for more cargo space once you're there and do courier missions between sothis and ceos over and over till you're rich enough to make the trip back. Sothis sells fuel scoops.

Oh and make sure to bind the "target next system in route" key so you can discovery honk, lock onto the star you're over, scan it while you're fuel scooping then just press the "target next system in route" key and be on your way as quickly as possible. You'll get 50-100k worth of cash from scanning these stars once you get to Sothis.

I spent 55 dollars on the game, since I got a mother fucking coupon.
Though I'm always tempted to pay some money to get a reliant or a freelancer, But I'd rather work towards those in game.

If I want to focus on exploration and mining, how much am I missing out by not getting the DLC?
Also, what exactly determines how far you can trace a route?

I know I'm not the best fighter, but I'm not a shitter either. I've never experienced this level of bullshit in a game. Like honestly what the fuck just happened.

Maybe because SC is a joke? Every single little playable "demo" has ran off of a completely different engine, with different assets. I'm not even interested if the game is going to come out or not; I just want to see how they're going to manage to shove all that together and make it a full, playable game.

No, npc. The AI is a joke, right?

I know about turning FA off. Like I said, I'm not a bad player and it really did feel like total bullshit

Video games will not be the same in the years to come if they keep getting away with their shit.

>>153551326
Define what type of scam it is.
From the standpoint of selling hopes and dreams that will never pass muster against what all the whales imagine, yeah it's a scam. But implying Chris will just run with the money is no more logical.

Besides I backed it when it was just squadron 42 and a freelancer-esque persistant multiplayer without a dime spent since then. As far as I'm concerned, it's a success if that's what is delivered.

no

fuck off to your containment board with that prophetic "redpill" brainwashing crap. Posting it on this or any other board is a bannable offense so enjoy I guesd

People complained about the combat AI being too easy so the person who wrote the AI spent a year perfecting it. So now people complain the AI is too good.

I do object to AIs getting engineering upgrades though.

Here's the thing, there is no game to defend. Shocking concept I know.

How do I make money in ED through combat if the AI are bullshit tier?

So then you're worse than someone who likes a game and can't defend it. You're just underage cancer shitposting with no purpose.

So, dual stick users... what stick makes a good off-hander? Something ambidextrous, obviously. Do you get something a little simpler or do you get the same stick as your main-hand?

>>153552845
AI learned that player pirates rarely gather cargo and attack people without any so now it does it too.

>>153552501

Goes to show how painfully unfun "perfect" AI is, and also its annoying that these AI could just plain have way better shit than your ship because of RNGineers.

I barely play ED now because that expansion made the casual bounty hunting I did very unfeasible

Okay kiddo. Enjoy your premium shit.

>>153552845
Its a problem since they shifted engineer materials to the not cargohold area. Thanks to their spaghetti code they probably have to retag everything manually instead of having it done by virtue of just not taking up cargo space so npc's all think you have cargo when you dont have any.

AI isn't good when I'm in a vulture and get out maneuvered by a fucking conda.

Not just out gunned, that's understandable. But fucking out turned? Bullshit

>>153553053
Yeah. I could see an ELITE Federal Assault Ship having engineer upgrades and doing the whole flight-assist off dance while maximizing it's power pips but not seeing some random viper or eagle doing the same. Mostly harmless? They should be using default power distribution and never flight assist, not acting like they were those youtubers who grind CQC 8 hours a day.

Aren't engineers a thing from Horizons?

>>153552501

>>153553235
That's the thing, they don't have 4 pips in everything, the instantly switch to whatever's optimal. Humans can't do that.

can I turn my clipper into an exploration ship?

I feel like fucking off to the galactic rim

>>153553454
Yeah, it wont be optimal but its not the worst explorer. You might want to rethink long trips though.

>>153553454
Consider an Anaconda.

>>153553538

even with a fuel scoop you can get stranded right?
