How do you know the right thing to blow up during Cut the Power missions? Or do you just blow everything up and consider any fines as operating costs?

I'm not saying that i will go and join the Frogs only once i'm in a fully kitted Combaconda but untill i get my first million i think its best to learn and do my mistakes on my own. FWIW, I would keep on doing what you're doing. Don't take a shortcut to big riches if you're having fun now. There isn't a whole ton to do besides make money and buy new ships, so getting thrown a lot of money for nothing isn't necessarily a good thing.

If your Cut the Power mission is to destroy a power generator attached to turrets, look near the big turrets around the base. Each of the groups of turrets has a small generator in the middle near them. Take out the generator and the turrets get disabled. Splash damage from one or two dumbfire missiles is enough to destroy these generators, usually. Once you get to recognize what a generator looks like they are easier to spot. They're pretty small from the air.

Hey I was thinking about picking this game up for one of the consoles and was wondering if there were any major differences between the Xbone and PS4 version?

It's not out on PS4. I think they're working on it, but I can't recall seeing any dates.

BMan posted:These stacked "Cut the power" missions, god drat. I got some rep, but also I made several million credits doing it. I'm definitely going to be exploring this more. I'm imagining some kind of Anchorman scenario now where like five factions all show up to raid the same base while you cut the turret power.

From the dev update:quote:Last week I mentioned that we had some more huge weapons coming, but without providing any details, so we have huge beam and pulse laser and multi-cannons being added. There will also be a new large multi-cannon.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs Nostalgia4Infinity fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Feb 11, 2016 |

So I'm getting bored of grinding bounties; and the missions on the bulletin board generally pay poo poo or are unavailable to me. What's a fun thing I can do in my brand new Cobra?CashEnsign posted:How do I get to 63 G with a stock sidewinder like 40 jumps out? Fuel scoop and pray? It was literally impossible for me to make it, one of the jumps exceeded the jump range. A kind goon had to bring me 7 tons of Narcotics to sell and upgrade my FSD, THEN it still took a fuel scoop and 20 jumps. Still ran out of fuel because the last 4 jumps were all brown dwarfs. Was still fun.

Capricorni and can arrange a time to wing up with me, I will help any new pilot get some starting cash. You can PM here on the Something Awful

Literally Kermit posted:ok this poo poo will not stand. I got starting cash fast enough by doing bounties at a High RES zone; picked up ~3 million in about 3 hours of play (First hour with a Goon escort in an Anaconda, second 2 million solo). Which seemed reasonably fast. I'm just saying there must be more to this game than collecting bounties. I get bored with poo poo easily.

Picked up the base game during the Steam sale, trying to figure it out. I see the Diamond Frogs are mentioned on the home page. https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/56bc66ba9657ba8b27153df1 shadok fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Feb 11, 2016 |

Incidentally Cubeo ground assaults are totally do-able in an Imperial Eagle and it's fun as hell doing boom and zoom dumbfire strafing runs.

Is it still a suboptimal choice now that the FDL has gotten a power plant upgrade? If so, why are people so keen on a low jump range ship that can't even use its own hardpoints to their potential? I thought the huge gun slot was the whole point =/

Excellent stuff, bigger & better weapons are what we need. And good things for huge slots would be nice. Right now though, I have just qualified for Hudson's 'pacifier' frag cannons, and immediately bought 4 on a pimped out Anaconda (the only thing that can do 4 large), and holy poo poo! They are much, much better than the basic frag cannon. The damage reduction is more than made up for by tighter spread. If you're not bothered about Powerplay, have a ship that can fit large weapons, and can tolerate the odd interdiction for a month, it's worth pledging to Hudson just for these things. Nailing most of the pellets in 3-shot burst, which is do-able close up, that's basically half a Python's hull gone in a couple of seconds

horizons trip report: landed my imp courier on some moon in 63 g. and drove around in the car a bit. shot some rocks, hit some sweet ramps, got chased out of a base by diamond frog drones. got back in my ship and landed at some outpost. tried to repair and the outpost services menu crashed, preventing me from leaving. thanks

You don't even need to repair the SRV, it repairs for free when you return to your ship.
