Einbauschrank posted:Lately I have problems submitting to interdictions. I set the throttle to zero, but dont drop out of supercruise and get hit with 45s cooldown. Any idea what might be the problem? Submitting isn't instant, it takes a few seconds to kick in and you can still lose the minigame and get successfully interdicted during that period. You need to keep following the escape vector until the submit completes and the interdiction attempt ends.

Don't worry, Frontier will implement novae and super novae soon, so there'll be a non-zero chance of randomly exploding when exiting witch space. Have fun!!!

By now I don't believe anything is coming ever and they're just trolling us  FileNotFound posted:People are raging about the transfer costs and time - but it seems the current state maybe a bug. Wait so the brown sea "overwhelmingly" voted (apparently) for having delays and transfer costs, now is angry about it because -surprise!- Frontier hosed the balance over and will refuse to properly adjust it, so it takes tons of time AND money to get your ship where you want it? Nostalgia4Infinity posted:fighters don't have fuel, some autist is probably typing a wall of text about immersion breaking How dare they, this is so unimmersive my computer might spontaneously combust. I require fighters to be equipped with a 0,1 ton fuel tank that runs out after 2 minutes of puttering around so they have to re-dock and re-fuel edit: perusing the brown sea is always fun, here's what I found - a guy thinking that buying a Ł6.99 beta access for the privilege of betatesting is great value and wishes to know if "progress" in the beta (where prices are reduced to basically zero so people can, y'know, test stuff) carries over to the main game quote:From people's experiences so far, do they reckon it is a must-buy right now, or (as I am busy doing other things in the game) it can wait until it becomes more than beta? Or will I not be allowed to join in the future, or? Also, it has been stated that all progress in the beta will be lost when the period comes to the end, but as that wasn't the case in the past with other betas, is there a good chance that progress made in this beta will last? It's not about the money (Ł6.99 seems like great value), it's about the time investment when I will be working more IRL and flying less.

25% boost  But it is an impressive effect, just not something I'd dunk myself in to get a couple ly more range.

Cao Ni Ma posted:Someone posted a pic of a traveler requesting to go to Sagittarius A and the payout was 25m+ and you had a week to finish it. So if you arrive 1 jump away after 1 week + 1 minute you would fail the mission and the dude would just escape-pod its way back to the bubble? Or can you still do that last jump and just throw the loving prick into the big gaping void for wasting 1 week + 1 minute of your time? Also, ship transfer as is implemented currently is useful for exactly 3 cases: 1) you want to relocate all your ships to wherever you want to set up shop; I did this twice in my 2 years with the game, it was a pain, but if ship transfer was actually a little more flexible you wouldn't even NEED to set up shop... (of course if you wanted to for whatever reason, it'd still be possible, while the opposite isn't true )2) you want to bring all your ships to a single engineer and upgrade them all; this is VERY useful and the one true reason I'd use it in its current state - you can even use the delay to actually collect some needed materials! 3) you want to participate in a CG but are too lazy to taxi your way to other ships; debatable but situationally useful, having to slowboat a FdL or Vulture to a combat CG sucks while exploration/trade CGs are usually done in ships with medium-to-high range anyways. can anyone see other actual, honest-to-God cases where it'd be useful with the current 30 min / 100k delay/cost (for an Asp 167ly away)? I'm just bitter I can't have any ship (that I bought by expending time and space money) I want whenever I feel like in this videogame that I play to have good times

Polo-Rican posted:Wait, is this a bug? Or is this what neutron stars actually do?? Either way I'm all for it. More weirdness everywhere is good In reality, most neutron stars have streams of superheated gas at their poles, due to no positive to negative movement of the high energy plasma. So it ejects into space. When the star rotates, this is what is called a pulsar, as the massive amounts of radiation can be detected on planets with an ozone layer thousands of light years away. Another fun fact, the cores of neutron stars are very close to what the beginning of the universe looked like, with the quark-gluon plasma and temperarures reaching 10^22 -10^23 degrees Kelvin.

Just read a bit about pulsars and it's pretty drat interesting! It's hard to gauge the realism of star effects and stuff in E:D because of how they dim the starlight—in real life, looking at a neutron at this distance would probably explode your retinas and set your brain on fire. It would make the game unplayable, but I always thought it would be neat if you could flip a switch in your cockpit and turn off whatever sci-fi light filtering your windshield must be doing, so that as you approached stars they became realistically, overwhelmingly bright. If you've seen the movie SUNSHINE, like, that kind of intensity.

Been thinking about upgrading my vulture into either an FDL or FAS. The FAS has higher dps and jumprange; the FDL has more shields. https://coriolis.io/comparison/N4Ig...ORHN1kEQoOJakA= https://coriolis.io/outfit/fer_de_lance/0pftfFalidpsif37o2727272700000303040kB2326m01C5.Iw18aQ==.MwBhCZwkEYzSwnBqEwg=?bn=generic https://coriolis.io/outfit/federal_assault_ship/0pktkFflndpsff47l7l272700000304B2386m0224C5.Iw18cQ==.CwBhGYCYWsEY6SZOxTHEA===?bn=fas1 Both have an agility rating of "6" but which is more boosty?
