Duo posted:So I picked this game up during the sale and have been having some fun with it. I have a question though, why are they releasing a full priced expansion for an unfinished game? They are developing an expansion and working on the base game simultaneously, as evidenced by the beta they just had for a major update to the base game.

got this as a gift. Read the op. One question, do I just tool about single player till I make some credits or is there somewhere I should be heading in the poopcraft v1 in multiplayer. Seems like most all I can get around the starting area is mining missions that I can't do with my equipment or bounty hunter stuff that directs me to empty space. Occasionally I get a space trucker mission that pays a whopping 6-12k bit that's about it. Oh and the bounty stuff seemed to work better in solo mode since there were actual ships to shoot in the places they sent me, pay was still poopy though.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:From what I can see, class impacts the number of SRV's you can carry -- class 4 can carry two, but there's also a G ahd H rating and the only difference between them is that the H rating weighs twice as much. If you want to give up a class 6 slot for a fleet of 5,000 cr dune buggies, that is. xyigx posted:got this as a gift. Read the op.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Not so much it was a secret but it was full of this shadowy cabal that sucked all fun out of the game. Frontier posted:"...Our initial proposal for in-system fast travel raised almost universal concern from the DDF. As developers, we of course make the calls and live with the consequences, but it's fair to say that even in such a small, fanatical (in a good way!) demographic, the response was clear enough to make us step back and take another look at what we were trying to achieve..." They listened to those few quite a lot it sounds like. Although to be fair, the post-design council stuff still had in-system fast travel with microjumps (with an auto-pilot to align and jump automatically if you plotted the multi-jump route first) and a way to slingshot with gravity assists. It was just Frontier that dropped that part for no alternative. DatonKallandor fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Dec 3, 2015 |

Highlights from the latest beta patch: - The "rejoin ship" option on the insurance screen now only returns to your last port if you deployed the SRV from a settlement; if you deployed straight from a landed ship, your ship respawns in orbit around the planet you were on - Stop all hostile ships in conflict zones targeting the player and friendly ships do not assist - Added 50% more fuel for the SRV Full notes: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=206477

I really don't think it's so bad given how quickly you start swimming in the materials to make more fuel. It's unnecessary busywork for a few seconds in the cargo panel, but there's so much sulphur and whatever the other one is that I can't see anyone having to grind.

Eagle is a straight upgrade to the Sidewinder, and it's pretty cheap. Faster, more agile, stronger shields, 50% more firepower and can carry just as much cargo. If you downgrade the shields to Class 2, it can even carry more cargo.

That SRV fuel thread is maddening. All those fucks claiming that having a hydrogen fuel-powered buggy is "unrealistic." They're either 12 year olds or grognards still living in 1984, completely unaware that hydrogen fuel-powered cars already exist. There are some interesting ideas in that thread however, specifically refueling the SRV from the ship, solar cells as an alternative energy source, and the idea that hand-crafted fuel should be give bonuses, like fuel efficiency or a speed boost or some poo poo. Edit: it's heartbreaking to see you argue with these idiots tooterfish (edit 2: and the rest of you), but hell if I could stand to wade through the brown sea.

I'm still waiting for them to tell me what they think the actual benefits of the mechanic are, instead of telling me the drawbacks aren't that big. They don't appear to be able to think of any though. I get the strange feeling if Frontier had decided to stick to their guns and give SRVs infinite fuel and there was a thread whining about that, they'd be advocating just as hard and just as uselessly in the other direction. They're loving morons. edit: ^^Thanks, but I think I'm done. I don't mind being wrong on the internet, or out argued (I'm not exactly Socrates), and I accept that a lot of this poo poo is subjective even. It really wears me out over there though, they're not even trying to see my point of view^^^ tooterfish fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Dec 3, 2015 |

I just picked up this game for 15 bucks. Been playing for two days. Saying this game is unforgiving and has a learning curve is quite an understatement. I like how the tutorial Youtube videos don't actually mention what the gently caress to press. I've figured out the basics...I think. I just learned a long, hard lesson to not open cargo scoop unless you want to lose everything you just spent 2 hours finding somewhere in the middle of space. Reading some posts, is there really some part of space Goons hang out in? Will you guys, or anyone, gift me a ship or some creds. I'm liking how chill space is, but pulling my own hair out at the time sucks.

Ugh, after some heavy poop-touching I think I'm done with FD forums for awhile. Pls people don't stop, keep posting good and correct opinions - if these ridiculous sperglords manage to push such blatantly bad and unfun elements into the game, we can definitely get FD to make something good with some effort.

I really don't want to sound like an elitist or someshit but how do you guys even go about considering AMD cards given the amount of problems they have across dozens of new, shiny games every year? I was running 2x 560 Ti's in SLI when I bought ED and was seriously considering moving up to like a 290/390 or something until I did some research on how well AMD as a whole performed. It's cheaper, yeah, but that's just inviting way too many potential issues in.

I've had an R9 270 for a couple years now, which I got because it was the best card I could buy in my price range, and because I had good experiences with AMD/ATI before. I'm running it with 8gb of RAM and an AMD Phenom II X4 945, which isn't the greatest system, but it's worked fine with all the games I play. It can run Elite at 40-60+ FPS at 1920x1080 on max settings (aside from supersampling, which I keep at 1.0 usually. 1.5 is playable but the FPS drops to the 20s at times). But I'm running windows 7, and it sounds like the problem with Elite is mainly for people running AMD cards on windows 10.

I've just heard so many bad things about AMD/ATI over the years that I quickly gravitated towards Nvidia setups when I started to build my computer. All of my friends who built their own rigs around the same time, who used AMD setups, have also slowly converted over to intel/NVidia builds. Libluini posted:If you think my R9 270 is too bad, just send me a lot of money and I buy a graphics card of your chosing. Deal? I don't think it's bad. I am Nvidia fanboy. I know it's bad. It's not that I like spending more money either. It took me 4 years to finally have enough set aside for a new gpu and a few other pieces.

I am disappointed that I miraculously scored a single hit on an npc with like a 25k bounty being killed by police plus 20k in vouchers immediately letting me leapfrog from my sidewinder to a viper only to find the stock viper comes with the same two flashlights equipped as my sidewinder did anyway.
