GarudaPrime posted:Compounding this is the (bugged?) navigation system that drops your route every jump. Anyone know why that is? It seems tied to cargo, as I can plot a route to robigo no problem but headed back with a full cargo hold makes it break. This bug has been fixed since they did the 2.0.0.2 update.

I'm not sure if you'll have enough to fit an Asp Explorer. Sell all your fittings but keep the hull. You'll have more than enough.

Haha, i was afking in a station for like an hour watching streams. I had to tab back in cause of this god awful grinding noise and i see the entire inside of the station just littered in ship debris and the station guns shooting full force at something outside, i have no idea what happened. I'd post some of the screenshots i took, but they are too dark to really see anything.

If the commander has turned the info in it'll have a big "discovered by" tag on the system map. The tag applies to individual bodies, too. So a guy could've scanned the star and bailed but you could still claim the planets

Every once in a while, the NPC AI will bug out and ships won't leave the station after taking off, upon which the station guns obliterate them after about five minutes. LOITERING IS A CRIME

Screwing around with weapon loadouts for my Courier Waiting For Getout. Anyone have any suggestions besides "Two lasers and a multi-cannon"? Two pulse laser and a cannon seems to work out decently, but is still pretty slow. Two pulse and a rail Gun is better but, ugh,that ammo capacity - though that was partly my fault for trying to take a Conda with just an NPC Viper shooting at it too (Though the Viper was wanted too, so I turned on him immediately and took him out pretty fast).

Finally took my DBE out for the first time about 1k LY from the bubble and had a bit of a fly around. Found an un-explored system and somehow came away with nearly 4gb of screenshots. Whoops! http://imgur.com/a/8o9aE//layout/horizontal

Completely brand new here, have not played a flight game of any kind since Wing Commander on the SNES. Should I be able to get through all the tutorials before starting the actual game? Because I keep getting my poo poo kicked in by the Cobra MK III on wave 5. I know I'm supposed to try to stay behind the guy but I am apparently not very good at that. edit: on "Incursion," I mean, the last mission in the single player combat training stuff anime tupac fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Dec 25, 2015 |

Do the flight ones, the long distance nav ones, watch the videos on youtube and hop in. Come to IRC for all your pressing newbie questions because this game just dumps you off the deep end.

Literally Kermit posted:Paramemetic I am ordering you to save Christmas and make sure new pilots all get Cobras I am unfortunately away from my ship until tomorrow night and will only be on evenings through the new year, but I would like to assign 3 flights to this CG and post visibly about it on reddit, mainly because this will cause tears of outrage from pubbies who worked hard to earn those ships dammit. I would suggest assigning the 101st, 102nd, 212th, 115th, and 313th to this. I'm not on my computer however so I can't check goatcore to see who is assigned where. I know the 115 is at least available, 101st is on a combat standby, so both of those are available to save Christmas and ruin the economy. At least send those two flights.

The later combat tutorials are harder than like 90% of the regular game's PvE combat. Don't feel bad about having issues with them.

It seemed to jump in difficulty pretty significantly when they went from "fight three guys, with two wingmen helping you" to "defeat ten waves by yourself" but I assumed I was supposed to be able to do it!

Literally Kermit posted:Paramemetic I am ordering you to save Christmas and make sure new pilots all get Cobras I've been playing space santa myself, and it's got 3 problems that make it hard to do: 1: Outposts only, which meant I had to make a special santa ship instead of using my mining ship, 2: 200+ LY routes, which means it's a long trip, 3: The station you get the gifts at is 31K ls away from the sun, which slows it down even more. So it's rough goin. 20 tons of presents a time I've been doing it, for the good of humanity, but it's a hard road.
