Does anyone else have the problem where the game just cuts to a black screen and you have to force close it in the task manager? I checked and people were saying it's overheating or overclocking or something and I have neither of those problems.

People mentioned back early on in the 1.5 beta that the Corvette was going to take somewhere in the ballpark of 600m to A-fit for combat. Is that still holding true, and counting the 15% discount on both ship & modules? Interested in setting a Robigo goal for myself and I just passed 400m and Tycoon.

The corvette is on corilois (ship fitting website) so you can experiment but yeah 600m sounds about right. The A grade power plant on it alone costs 150M Cr

One thing to note for those that don't have the beta yet: Frontier made it so that now if your game is not in focus (because you alt-tabbed out) and are making/about to jump to a different system, your throttle will be automatically set to 0% when you arrive.

Robigo is a populated system about 200 LY outside the populated bubble. Mission payouts scale with distance travelled, and since the most of the eligible targets are back in the bubble the missions generated there are worth lots of cashmoney. Basically you head out, stack as many missions as you can stand, then head back and get rich. They're called Robigo runs because that's the most popular place to do them, but there are quite a number of systems exactly like it (some are even in chains or clusters). To find them, set your galaxy map to filter out all unpopulated systems and just look around the edge of populated space. They stand out like sore thumbs.

For the Imperial Eagle, should you just use the 315k "worth flying" fit for it? Naturally with the medium slot occupied by a bigger laser or cannon or something.

Robigo sends you to Federation systems to deliver your ill-gotten goods, which will help get federation rank missions as a nice side effect. The "Fehu" system will do something similar for the Empire, and is more or less the same deal. So choose accordingly depending on which fancy faction-locked ships you are aiming towards, and both now have good options.

The GD 140 system, and one of the moon in particular (GD 140 1 A 1), was pointed out in IRC, so I took a trip there. As it can be seen, the moon itself is a pretty small rocky planet with clearly visible canyons  Said canyons are pretty deep  So of course I had to jump one. And just after night had arrived.

Nation posted:how do we make this happen?! Thread: Lagrange points and Points of Interest: better travel and more focused gameplay I was expecting it'd have an idiot reply by now about realism or space trucker immersion or something but instead I fear it's going to get washed away in the tide of Horizons suggestions. There a couple other older suggestions involving L-points, but both of them had different approaches- one wanted to use Lagrange points for some kind of gravity speed manipulation stuff in supercruise and the other wanted to restrict high-wake jumps to other systems to the L-points. I'm pretty happy with the way mine ties into and theoretically improves existing game mechanics but who knows if the developers will read it, let alone agree.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Does the MkIV have Homeworld aesthetics and rotating engine pods? The MK IV is a slow type 6 that's shaped like a cobra. The hardpoint placement is fantastic and the 8 internal slots, 4 of which are class 4; give it a lot of fitting room. The problem is the rest of the ship is just not good enough to take advantage of all that space.

For the Imperial Eagle is it still wise to gimball everything? I know when I was faffing about in the normal Eagle it felt kinda odd being stupid maneuverable but using gimballed weapons. I might try out normal cannons or some kind of cannon instead of lasers just to get a feeling for them as well, but I assume the lasers would be best in the medium slot. Alternatively I can try out the railgun.

Back from the latest beta. Frontier ironed out a lot of the sound problems. Graphics issues still persist, but thats a given. I've dropped my settings from ultra to medium and can hit a locked 60FPS constant. My impressions: - Planetary landings is a huge huge expansion. Lots of things to do if you know how to go about it. - Simply being able to fly "into" a planet is just mind boggling. - The past 3 days I've spent on 2 systems, to and fro. Running missions between stations, and spaceports. - Flying into an ice planet with rings and then flying into its canyons just cause feels so empowering. - That star trek feeling of being the only living player character on the planet - Can't wait to discover / play more. Crashes have been mostly resolved the past patch. Everything is quite stable now. Oh for those thinking "bigger is better". I've testing landings with Corvette vs Viper Mk4. Viper is superior when it comes to doing ground missions (easier to find a landing spot, and smaller target for NPCs to hit, more nimble, less mass / inertia to fly in gravity). I'll write another post on this later after more tests. But the Corvette is like flying a bulky mothership of sorts in gravity, the strain the thrusters have vs gravity can be heard and felt. Its quite amazing. no_recall fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Dec 4, 2015 |

If James Bond existed in the Elite universe, it's the kind of thing he'd do assassinations in... while wearing a tux and drinking a martini. You can't get more 60s than that, so the design aesthetic might be appropriate actually. Sard posted:Thread: Lagrange points and Points of Interest: better travel and more focused gameplay It doesn't really matter if they adopt this particular suggestion in my opinion (not that I don't think it's a good idea), but as long as it gets them thinking about the spirit of what it represents i.e. mechanisms for encouraging more organic interactions and making the game world feel more lived in, I'll be a happy bunny.

So bought into this off the black friday sale and it sure is pretty. I have a few questions though: 1) How the hell do you get bounties above ~200K or so? Even with a KWS I barely breach that when splashing high-level anacondas in high-risk RESes. 2) How do you join a faction/why would you ever want to, apart from getting the couple dinky totally-not-a-type7 ships? 3) This is more of a nitpick but why in the absolute loving hell is my ~400T "Space superiority fighter" only carrying 30 rounds of ammunition for a size 1 gun, and a "top tier" sensor array that can't see poo poo until I almost run into it. I can spot and visually ID a (fer-de-lance/python and up) target from what feels like twice the range that the ship's sensors can even bother to get a distorted blip of "something over there" even if it's an anaconda that's putting on a version of the 4th of july.
