Is there a limit to the number of trade missions you can have at one time? I'm currently loving around Sothis, just picking up any of the 800k-2m trade/smuggle missions that go 400 Ly out, dumping the cargo into the commodity exchange, then running into the nearest-system-to-the-actual-target to dump a Cobra-load of Sothis gold and pick up the "real" cargo again. Oddly, though, I'm not seeing any trade missions on the last couple of refreshes, even in the "you can't handle our rep" category.

Hamburger Test posted:So since I could skip the reputation I went and grabbed an Imp Courier. Can it sustain Beams? I have 7M left, if anyone feels like suggesting a PvE build. Courier owns and can do everything. You can do 2 beams with a cannon, you can do 3 beams and just let it cool down now and then, you can do one beam and two MCs. Whatever you like. I have run a 3 beam Courier and it can fire for a few seconds and cools quickly enough to be functional.

Im playing around in one with three fixed pulses for practice and with the best distributor and 4 pips it still drains down after a moderate amount of sustained fire. Beams are probably a no go unless you're firing like just one by itself. Edit: to clarify for a PVE build where you're permanently affixed to your targets that's where it breaks down and doesnt make sense to have a weapon scheme you have to stop and recharge constantly. Maybe PVP could be a different story. timn fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Oct 22, 2015 |

Beams are probably a no go unless you're firing like just one by itself. In the Courier's case I'd do gimballed pulses on the wings and then a fixed/gimballed (depending on preference) multicannon on the chin mount. If you're hunting larger ships in RES with the Courier I'd recommend swapping the chin mount to either a cannon or plasma accelerator as they punch above their weight and do full damage to large hulls. For something like a Python which isn't quite as agile as a Courier/Vulture/FdL/Clipper I'd suggest the good old KakerMix special where you use gimballed beams in all the large hardpoints with two fixed cannons in the mediums. You can fire a single large beam to strip shields (probably the one on the chin mount) which actually regens energy with 4 pips to weapons and then bring all three lasers to bear in bursts against the hull. You can fire the cannons at large hulls with no damage penalty so effectively you always do max damage to anything. A++ python fit, would fly again.

So...what's the trick to the 'Steal X of Y' missions? Flew around WSS, Nav Beacons, and Checkpoints scanning cargo holds and came up with nothing?

Unfortunately the trick is not to take them, they are really tedious to complete the way you're intended to, or you can get other players to drop the stuff for you to pick up to make it stolen, both options are dull.

So what is the current fast way to get rich then? I just did a Sothis run without realising it was nerfed and didn't make a great deal (in a cobra)

I'm 15 hours into this game and until tonight I was just exploring, got back from the Pleiades and bought an Adder. Then I figured I'd try out the combat so I stowed that, bought an Eagle and went looking for jerks. I ended up blowing up a Fer-De-lance in an asteroid belt, then killing an Imperial Courier that interdicted me on the way back. By the time I docked my hull was at like 7%. This is a cool game you guys.

OK this could be really great, but it suffers the User Generated Content problem of "there are a poo poo ton of options for This Game, no info on what any of them do, nobody has rated most of them, and the ones I've seen look like poo poo" But thanks, I'll get into this

Use whatever you're comfortable with. Some people swear by M+K, I use a combo of keyboard and joystick, and there are tons of people using 360 controllers or similar just fine.

Keyboard and mouse is fine (and is apparently the best for aiming), and lots of people use it, but most people hate the default key bindings and have to screw around with them to get it comfortable.

I honestly couldn't remember any of the keybindings after taking a few month break from Elite, but I did default KB+M fine. I did end up getting the $45 Thrustmaster Hotas X, and found this set of bindings to be very effective.

My only real complaint is that it seems to pick it up as an XBox 360 controller and has some unmodifiable keybindings under the default control set.

is there a way to export your key bindings, or are they in a file somewhere? I lost my binding a couple months ago when I came back to the game and had to reset everything which was an absolute pain to try and remember.
