3.0 WHEN???

Just let it die in peace.

>>166854220
You could drop the planetary hangar. Most stations near landable planets sell one so you can fit it on a need basis. Replace it with MRPs or something. I assume you're engineering the packhounds.

>>166854031

There's a cooldown period, then it'll be back. Days, probably.

When did this happen

>>166855253
NOT THAT FUCKING TOWER

>>166855253
Because "tower" meant "buildings on docking pad" and they're fucking stupid.
The end of the pad with the holographic numbers is the end you're supposed to face.

>>166854940

You can still fight in a ceasefire but you'll be on your own vs the entire side.

>>166855253
>fucking face the tower

Probably assumed you were in a coriolis or something, where the pads literally have control towers on them.

Here's a better rule of thumb:

You see that blast shield with the triangle on it that's tilted up? Your engines are supposed to be facing those you aren't washing engine exhaust all over the docking crew.

What I mean is that I've been playing for a couple weeks only and I can already see a clear progression regarding FSD jump distances/time played so it's not like you can cover 50LY+/jump in a starting sidewinder, and also how some ships/outfits are more suited to improve that particular aspect while neglecting others such as firepower or defense. I can't really see how any this is wrong from any perspective: lore, gameplay and realism.

Many of us think Elite:Dangerous is wrong on much more fundamental points so it's best we don't answer that

why don't you save the jpg ($560 to my paypal account), and add those releases next to each month yourself? the modding tools i'm giving you for free.

I didn't fancy searching through their crappy archive for pre-2.0 releases, and 2.0 was multicrew. It wasn't to make them look more incompetent, it just happens to have that effect, taking 3 years to implement multicrew module.

>>166861940
multicrew was possible before 2.0 in freeflight, it just didn't exist in any meaningful sense because you couldn't hop out and get in a friends ship in AC other than the hangout mode.

I still smell a 3.0 release in august at the earliest and a SQuander 42 around christmas.

How am I supposed to get the rank up missions to appear for Federal?

I was getting them at 17D but it was asking me to haul 48 tons of cargo 374ly and other stupid bullshit I couldn't do.

>>166866246
Just keep refreshing and looking for Federal Navy missions from Fed factions.

I have to say that since Powerplay, I've had no luck getting different types of rankup missions for either faction. One would appear (e.g. smuggling) and it would be the only one that would ever spawn.

FUG.

What podcast or album should I put on before I head into space?

>>166866752
>the only one that would ever spawn.
Worded that badly, I meant that it would never give me any other type of mission for rankup. Even if it disappeared after a refresh, the same mission would reappear. You may have to leave your grind spot.

You can gain rep even at 100%, it will just show up properly after you rank up (i.e. you'll see your rank % begin at more than 0% after getting your new rank). I grinded about 5 ranks' worth of rep and did five rankup missions in a row, but that was long ago. Someone else may need to confirm if this still works.

A-Rank Python or C-Rank Anaconda?

>>166863464
I think we can safely presume HL3 to be dead and buried at this point. Valve abandoned game development altogether in favor of just maintaining Steam.

>>166867493
Combat, no. It will feel like swatting flies with a telephone pole. Trading, yes, but D-rank it.

>>166865894
All their major releases seem to be around Christmas time. I think it might be CR pushing everyone to crunch and get it out before the holiday break so people can't whine, and at least have something to play.

>>166866246
You have to be friendly or allied with the minor faction. Cordial may work but not sure. + 100% on the rank of course.

>>166868373
We have no idea when SQ42 will come out besides that it is at least Q2.

>>166868373
So that will mean that between now and 3.0 will just be 2.6.X bug fix patches and maybe a ship if they need some quick cash?

Yet another year I can go back into hibernation from the world of CIG.

>>166868615
No, as >>166868610 says, we don't know. I'm just pointing out that 2.0 and 2.6, their major milestones, were both released at Christmas time.

We also don't know how far their AI stuff along is. Tony makes it sound like vaporware, and CR makes it sound like it's just around the corner.

See >>166861569
March 2016 had 4 patches.
While the gap between 2.5 and 2.6 was 4 months.

>>166879591

17 Draconis is a system in bumfuckegypt space that has the anomaly of one of the factions always giving a ton of massacre missions when they go to war with another faction, and the rewards for these missions range from anywhere between 500k all the way to 20 million for one mission.

Each mission requires you to kill a certain number of ships, but each kill counts for EVERY mission so you can pick up a bunch of these missions all at once, go grind in the system conflict zone, and come back and turn them all in for massive amounts of cash. This is called "mission stacking."

>>166879930
I don't have nearly enough money for an FDL. I've been bombing around in a DBack

>>166880054

I should give that a try. What's a good ship and place to get missions?

>>166879831
>>166880054

You could always try. When the system goes back to war, head to the system in a jump-fitted Hauler and transfer your ship. There's always a ton of people fucking about slaughtering Order ships, just fly alongside them and snag kills. As long as you get a hit in, the kill will count for you.

17 Draconis.

New 17 Draconis Alliance vs The Order

New 17 works with the Federation, so it's also federation rep

The only mission offered is Massacre. And each kill counts for every mission. So like, anywhere from 8 to 72 ships to kill, anywhere from 1m reward to 7m+. (Up to 20 missions at a time)

Yeah, they all have plasma and rails, but if you keep resetting the instance until you have more friendlies than enemies (and maybe work with a wing/open) then you're unlikely to get shot enough for it to matter.

I showed up with nothing in a Viper IV a day and a half ago and flew out with +250m this morning from pretty casual playing. Bought a Python. I could definitely actually fight and contribute instead of dying in two shots now.

But they're in Cease Fire right now, so if you were to go pick up the missions the NPCs won't help you anymore. But the civil war WILL be back. Just wait.

Ps. I'm surprised /edg/ is willing to crush The Order. Do you know what those guys stand for? Erradication of all Xenos, xenos tech, research, etc.

Since I keep hearing about how incomplete ED is, is the multiplayer akin to a FPS with no spawn kill feature or a MMO with nothing to prevent constant ganking?

Dads are assholes. Most of them want to prevent features from being added such as storage or guilds. Anything "fun"

Some shitty fan design.

Fighting in CZ is addictive
Just voicing my appreciation towards the combat zone feature of this game - well done F Dev!
By blind luck I have stumbled upon a system, that was in war state (ok, not blind luck, I was going to see if one of my old smuggling places are still lucrative, but as it turned out, it was in a state of war) and since I had nothing better to do, I have transferred my lil Vulture there, as she was itching to try her new weapons out. Everyone is talking about how good CZs are, so I went and gave it a shot.

Man, I was in for a surprise! The NPCs are much, much more tougher, than anywhere else and it takes a great deal of skill and situation awareness even to stay alive in that Deathball for any length of time. I was instantly hooked and after a while I have noticed that indeed, you need to be a team player there if you want to kill fast and turn the table in your favour. The Vulture is exactly the right ship for this type of work, it does not have the punch to kill quickly anything there, if you play the lone wolf, but if you hang around first, figure the odds and then join one knot of friendly ships, target their targets, start killing, slowly your faction will get ahead and you are comparatively safe. Not completely safe, which is the genius in the setup - as if you stray away from your pack even for a minute, you get ganged by three-four enemies instantly and then it is flee-time or get nailed.

So, ten minutes into my very first CZ I started to taste the excitement, and then played four hours straight - which have never happened to me before in this game, it simply could not engage me enough. Got allied with a faction, unlocked higher and higher paying missions, and four hours later I was 85 million richer as well, without noticing it really.. a welcome bonus on top of the experience I just had. So from now on it is hunting for wars for me :-D

Congratulations! You've figured out what a Sandbox game is!

In this day and age when everything is themepark and people need to be taken for a ride to be entertained, there are people who want to sit in the sandbox and go their own way. We WANT to make that left turn at Albuquerque.

E: D has been scratching that itch for me. Letting me pick and choose what I feel like doing when I enter the game and letting me change my mind partway through instead of locking me on a specific goal all the time. If you really need a goal to feel like you're having fun, then make one or go play a themepark game. Otherwise look for a group and make their goal your own. You don't even have to join them, just keep an eye on what they're doing and join in.

Frontier already created a meaningful reason to log in every night. Now it's your turn. If you can't then you need to find another game.

The failure of Frontier (studio) isn't at reproducing the original gameplay or game generation, it's at not reproducing its flaws.

You can say that SC has a complete opposite design philosophy, What is procedurally generated isn't the content, it's the decoration around the content.

Well, considering that the cutter is also a space dildo, you have a point.

>>166918004
That and the cutter is very, very fast too.

If you're a lazy trader, go full frag turrets with whatever you want in the huge HP. That build is particularly fun in the Anaconda where you can actually see the cloud of flak you're projecting everywhere around you, plus it absolutey destroys everything that gets too close because you're constantly boosting at it

Does anyone know if Horizons ever gets included in Steam sales?

I actually very rarely use it, only in supercruise really.

Anyone using HOTAS in ED or in general?
I'm using an X52 Pro and I have this minor issue with the thumb slider when set to radar zoom, it only seems to be working 50%, as in, moving the slider from 0% to 50% it does nothing at all and it only starts working 50% and up.

>>166919502
no i don't want to be reminded i got jewed

>>166919735
you didn't get jewed,you got the VISION

>>166919716
Because radar zoom is not an axis but a push input.

>>166919946
But it can be set to analog input.

>>166920016
Shit you're right they've added that in!

>>166920976
It's still not an actual axis, only recognizes 4 levels of magnification.

>>166920976
For some reason it's acting weird for me, and I don't know if it's a game issue, my set up or what. I didn't manage to find anything around.
If I move the slider from the left up to halfway through it does nothing, but at 60% radar goes to 20%, 70% to 40%, etc.

>>166921413
Yeah I know, works the same way for me and I faintly remember trying to sort out that issue like a year before.

It also works that way for reverse movement, 100%-50% it's nothing then it starts to switch zoom levels.

Anyway, I tried setting the roller around E button as an axis and it still only gives you four levels of magnification no gradual zoom, so it kinda defeats the purpose.

>>166918521
It was at the christmas sale. 50% off.

Will they ever add an autopilot module to ED?

The people who is always complaining about the development time of Star Citizen has no idea how much work this is.

Look at other AAA titles who also used a pre-existing engine that didnt do any real engine-altering code that spent at least 6 years on them.

Now look at Star Citizen who alters so much in a pre-existing engine by doing things nobody has ever done before at this scale with all these planned features they have to take into consideration when doing these changes.

CIG is actually doing a lot of experimentation before they show anything to the public.
Ofc. a lot of the stuff we see are just early alpha builds and experiments, but that's what a project like this require.

>incendiary rounds went from thermal-kinetic to pure thermal a few patches ago
>just learned now
welp time to try cannons

>>166855084
Is incendiary ammo for the MC actually worth it? As I understand, it reduces DPS now, and changes some kinetic to thermal. The thermal damage would be good against NPCs, who don't have thermal resist shields, but players with thermal shields should have more thermal resistance on shields and hull on average.

>>166923013
oh shit, just posted about this stuff, are they worth it at all then? I'm looking for a gimballed weapon that doesn't have too much damage falloff, Don't really know if I want to go for the boosted modification.

Never flown an Eagle before. Heard they're fun.

What's the best build? And should I go Imperial or normal?

>>166923778
I'm not sure about reduced DPS: it looks like there's still a DPS increase, just offset a little by a small drop in rate of fire. You're right about NPCs' shields' frying super fast.

>>166923916
They take out shields quickly. Hulls are another story, but in conjunction with corrosive on the target (flat non-stacking +20% damage debuff) they're passable. There's no spinup time on the huge ones at least.

>>166924669
imperial eagle is faster and gets a medium hardpoint. It's my favorite of the 2

either you go unshielded maximum lightweight faggotry with dirty drive'd enhanced thrusters for over 800m/s of insane dagumi speed or you go standard biweave shields, whatever internals you want, and whatever weapon loadout you want. I recommend double shot frag cannons tho: get close, unload, fuck off, repeat

You're not using your keyboard are you?

Look at the vertical yellow lines on the right hand side where the particles are intercepted. Move your mouse up and down that general area in a smooth rhytmical pattern up, try to keep your hand still and use your fingers to flick it around slightly to get used to the sensitivity and catching them.

They speed up roughly every time a molecule bursts. After you get 2300 points you get 3 particles (max) plus any bonuses. Scoring 2200 gives you 2 particles and a lesser bonus. 2700 is the maximum with 0 missed.

Few questions

Just got a clipper, been a miner and a trader before so I wanted to try high res or hazres or something combat related for something new, does this generate good cr?

Is this optimal cr/h method when flying clipper?

Best way to grind federation rep? I really want to get my hands on the gunship. Is there something like empire wui guinagi/hip?

Ok guys, I need help. I haven't played ED since powerplay was introduced. I burned myself out on the game rushing my anaconda and I have a few other ships and cash in reserve. I am getting the itch to hop back in and play again (I'd buy horizons if I decide to come back), and I need someone to talk me into or out of it.

Is there anything new that is meaningful? How are the trading loops? Is the economy worse/better than back then? Is the game still infested with anti-fun dads and redditors? Part of the reason I quit was because I couldn't find anyone to fly with that wasn't a massive cocksucker.

Dumb question because I can't math. I'm getting a sliver plus a few traces each time, so are you getting 6 stacks of each trace outright plus the stacks of slivers, or are you counting the slivers in with the traces as you get them?

>>166941605
Thanks man, so fed systems in a state of war and stack cz missions, can't wait to fly that thing.

You wouldn't happen to have any pointers on clipper combat? Weapon selection and pip management specifically. Going from Broker trader to harmless combat pilot is weird.

>>166941462
No. The only thing to do in Elite is to grind for more ships. PvP is fucking garbage, and you must grind for weeks to get access to engineers, then grind for more weeks to get good rolls on the stuff you modded. Then you can finally PvP, and get blown the fuck up by either a FDL or Cutter.

6 stacks of red, not including the slivers, shards and fragments.

Here's my fed toon, my KDF has a similar amount. Spread the special projects over all your toons to speed up getting your upgrades.

If you get plenty of fragments you can sell them for like 1 million EC each. But last year the market was flooded with them and it drove the price down and people had to wait a few months for the price to go back up to sell them. It should be worse this year because of people learning the market last time.

Either go for upgrades or leave them as fragments to sell.

>Is there anything new that is meaningful?
There's engineers which add a whole new level of grind and are required for PVP. Kinda fun if you like small ships and want to go fast. Canyon racers seem to be the only people genuinely happy. Planetary landings are another source of grind.

> How are the trading loops? Is the economy worse/better than back then? Is the game still infested with anti-fun dads and redditors?
All more or less the same.

Getting the red from Vlugta mining asteroid. Blue from maybe Andoria I don't know yet. The yellow from Drozana space. Don't go to DS9 or ESD for red since they are in space and you need to move around to follow them. Find a place to stay while they spawn around you.

clipper NEEDS gimballs in the side hardpoints
Use medium thermal, large kinetics. I never flew a clipper so I can't tailor shit but I'd use medium rails and two gimballed cannons because I have a boner for rails and cannons because ARMOR PIERCING and BURST DAMAGE

4SYS 0ENG 2WEP is your classic pip distribution when under fire because 4pips to SYS increases your shield strength by TWO POINT THREE EIGHT TIMES. you read that right, 2.38 times effective shields over 0 pips to SYS. Manage the rest as you need, i.e. ENG when maneuvering, WEP when firing... get some experience. Which brings me to my next point

DO NOT use the clipper as your first combat ship. Train on a smaller, less expensive ship first. Your hardpoint loadout should be similar: thermals in the smaller hardpoints, kinetics in the bigger ones. Why? because thermal weapons should be your primary anti shield DPS for PVE, and there is no bonus/penalty for damage to shields. there is damage penalty for small/medium/large weapons depending on what you're shooting at, because of armor piercing and hull hardness values

basically small suck against hulls that aren't sidewinders, eagles and the like, mediums kinda suck against hulls any bigger than small pad ships, and large kinda suck on large ships. Meanwhile, huge weapons are like LOL ARMOR PIERCING SUCK MY DICK especially cannons and plasmas. Fixed cannons actually deal more DPS than anything else in he same size bar railguns. The age of full MC gunboats is over. It's still a decent loadout, but no longer the best

Use frag turrets on your trade fitted conda and watch the flak work if you want but turrets on anything that's not a trade fitted python, conda, T-series or cutter is fucktarded

you use gimbals.

Don't take this the wrong way but your female character is deformed. She's got ribs so thin you could play her like a xylophone. Her arms are like socks blowing in the wind in that webm.

Try moving the limb sliders in the character editer to the 80/100 mark, it's like an average default size that looks normal.

Post your ship roster and dry dock.

This was the last post about Star Citizen >>166944419 yes a goon shitpost.

This was the 2nd last post about Star Citizen >>166927761 saying to edit a comic about Star Citizen's development being anything positive.

There's nothing to talk about, anyone who hasn't got a refund is probably hibernating until 2.6.1 and that discussion will last 2 weeks before dying until 2.6.2 and repeat, until 3.0 which is probably like 9 months away.

At this point it's E:D only and a few STO refugees who don't have a thread, but there are several space games discussed here sometimes, even included in the OP

This is my main toon. Just a noob. I wish I had a bunch of ships. I got the T6 last year and named it when I got it. Was already in the T4 with the same name, that's why I added the J.

>>166946898
I've played about 200 out of the 2 hours or so of content in SC, and it was slowly driving me mad.

I've got about 275 hours in ED and was hearing the jump drive in my sleep when I stopped.

I've got over 325 hours in STO, and I've barely scratched the surface. All the nice lads here have been extremely helpful, and I would'nt even know to do omega farming if I hadn't posted about a week ago.

Do you have a kdf? I used to prefer my fed, then after a few years tried my kdf and just prefer it.

Romulans get more boffs with "superior romulan operative" trait, so have inherently higher crth than feds or kdf so their DPS is higher.

Also if you're a tac you should use escorts and battleships not cruisers if you want the most DPS. But cruisers do look a lot cooler I admit (no pun intended on your breen shield). The T6 intel cruiser is my favourite.

No, I was going to do a RomFed next because I heard the Klingon story and PvE is kinda lacking, although that's a noob's opinion.

>Also if you're a tac you should use escorts and battleships not cruisers if you want the most DPS.

I chose that ship because of the hangar module.

I was in a fleet for a while with a couple of dick wavers with high DPS ships and the whole XII to XIV grind was so annoying that I ignored it and made an AoY toon when that launched. I've been ignoring the fleet channel since I picked the game back up, and it has been a much better game.

>>166949059
Yeah doing your own thing is probably going to be more enjoyable for you. You know the heavy escort carrier has a hangar too right? I think you can get a cool console too, micro torpedoes or point defence, you'd have to wiki it I'm not sure.

Just make a kdf toon and do the first few mission arcs, if you don't enjoy it just leave it? We get fewer ships but if you like birds of prey you're in luck.

Also the vo'quv carrier is gorgeous. I got the fleet version. The elite bop pets are kind of underwhelming, though.

>>166949345
I was a little more tryhard until I got my first toon to 60 then stared into the abyss. This game is deep enough that funny ship names and ironic bridge and away teams are just as rewarding to me as being at the top of the combat log, although I do try to not be the carry.

Line of Defense

>>166950218
I named my tac scimitar "George Zimmerman", and some libcuck attacked me for it, you know 'literally shaking', etc. I logged in once and the mods had renamed my ship 'name pending' so I had to rename it.

>>166950440
>director's mode?
What's that? Mod tools or spectating? Or making videos?

If you don't want to play the SP campaign you don't need Squadron 42 or any combo packages, just the cheapest starter pack, which is an aurora or mustang.

This is my current away team. It was going to be all Klingon, but a Jem Hadar was too good to pass up.

Turns out that warrior races are a good pick for ground combat, these guys are way stronger than my main toon's rag tag fucktard team.
