What kind of systems sell SCV Hanger Bays? I've been looking around the systems in the local area to me and I can't find one. Also, stupid question: they just go in the standard misc internal slots, and don't have their own slot like the landing software right? The Vulture can get a SCV hanger, right?

I'm a step ahead already, I found class 4 hangar bays and nothing else. I guess if you only have a Sidewinder you're in for a search.  (Lembava) Also while driving aroung in my new Scarab is a lot of fun,  gave me the shittiest control bindings possible and I've been trying for half an hour now to unfuck this mess. (For some reason even simple things like switching off the turret are either unbound, or bound to the most awkward controls possible. No game, I don't think it's funny if the two keys controling my sensor screen are on opposite ends of my keyboard.  )

Is anyone else having trouble controlling the turret? I have it bound to my mouse, but it seems really sluggish and inconsistent. I can't tell if it's just the beta FPS problems or if something's hosed.

Wait so to fit an SRV into an Asp, you have to sacrifice the size 5 slot and only have 1x size 6 and the lovely size 2/3 ones available for internals? Seriously, or is it just random chance loving you over with not finding a size 2-3 hangar bay?

Now I have a dumb question of my own: How do you get back onboard your ship after you leave it in a star port? I've tried locking my ship and following the green arrows on the ground, but they only lead me straight through armored walls. I think I'm now sitting somewhere above my ship, but I'm kind of stumped now. I guess I could try leaving the star port and calling my ship from the outside, but that sounds like a lame workaround.

There should be a garage built into the structure underneath your landing pad. Drive into there, come to a complete stop and you should have the option to board your ship on the vehicle control panel.

I bought this a while back but my video card couldn't really run it very effectively so I just puttered around for a bit and then stopped playing. Now that I'm coming back I'm not 100% sure I'm going to like it so I don't want to dive in to Horizons right away. Theres nothing besides the skins I'm really going to miss out on by not buying Horizons right now is there?

So in case anyone else made the same mistake(?) I did and got an XBox One Elite controller thinking that you can actually make use of the back paddles as additional buttons, I have good news for you: I've got a control scheme you're (probably) going to love. Honestly, the best part of this is the realization that you're not restricted to DPad and Bumpers when using the contextual buttons; despite them not showing on the overlay, they'll still bind properly. As usual, the downside is that doesn't provide a way to modify this stuff properly except through the XML-- trying to bind it in the controller UI will result in a "modifer+button" bind instead of a contexual bind, the difference being the latter will let you hold down ABXY and then hit the followup at your leisure, whereas the former requires you to hit both buttons at the exact same time, and will still occasionally fire off one binding or the other in addition depending on what you have it bound to. code:

They come in sizes 2, 4 and 6 that I've seen, grades G and H. Larger sizes can carry more SRVs (1, 2, or 4), and the only difference in grades just seems to be weight. Literally every ship in the game is capable of carrying at least one SRV.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Having seen screenshots of the Cobra IV's setup, its not a bad ship I guess. But I can't get excited over it. Its just too slow compared to the original (200/300 speed/boost vs the Mk3's 280/400). I'd have gladly traded one of those extra class 4s and maybe one of the class 3s to retain the Mk 3 Cobra's speed. I could live with the lesser maneuverability, but I gotta go fast. The cobra mk4 is going to be amazing for planetary exploration I think. With the ok jump range, large number of internal slots, and most importantly small size, it will be ideal. The problem with a big ship is it can be very very hard to find anywhere to land on a planet that isn't nice and smooth. I spent 20 minutes trying to find somewhere to land on one moon in an anaconda, and the spot I finally found had like a 1 meter clearance. Also, I took a space ship and landed on an alien world, left my ship in a buggy, drove to a scenic peak, using my rift got out of my buggy and walked around on the surface of an alien world, watching a sunset. Game of the year.

Hey folks, looking to get into this game come the holidays(and hopefully bring some friends along with me) but I'm a little confused about the Horizons things. If we pick the base game up during a sale or whatever, we''ll still be able to play without the expansion, right? From what I can tell, we'll just be locked out from any of the surface and future content unless we get it, but I'm not 100% on that. They're not just making Horizons the de facto product from here on out, effectively making new players pay the full $60 if they want to get into Elite, are they?

Horizons is the full game including space and ground stuff but if you own just Horizons you cannot play until the release of Horizons. It costs full game price. E:D is the full game not including ground stuff when Horizons launches BUT owning E:D gets you a $15 discount on Horizons if you preorder and is supposed to remain available for a little while after Horizons launches.

tooterfish posted:They went to huge pains make the their planets plausible, from basing their composition on the different basic elements found where they're created, all the way to simulating tectonic movements and meteor impacts caused by other nearby bodies, but they just couldn't figure out how to make the gravity of each one different.

It's not really just text in a box, that's really playing down what they're doing. They don't just render a random height map, pick a random colour and then call it a day. The composition, tectonics and all that other stuff directly correlate to the planet's surface generation. As an example, a planet close to a star/gas giant will have huge rifts and canyons formed by tectonic activity, but probably won't have many large impact craters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Et5Ivi_yIg

Nelson Mandingo posted:Thanks for the advice but I'm more an amateur (even though I do build my PC's) and don't overclock. Yeah, just recommending you do it because I've been building these things since 1994 and _still_ got blindsided by 'Display driver has stopped working' messages that were actually down to dirty reads in RAM rather than the thing that was complaining. RMA'd a couple of video cards before _actually_ testing. I'm saying don't be me. The test is a free download and you can run it from a bootable CD/USB stick, and it strikes out a possible issue. There are a couple of display card stress testers and memory testers that can do a low level hardware check on the graphics card as well, and you might want to check that you have all the motherboard drivers rather than anything generically windows.
