Guess it will have to do, I didn't realize fighters come with backups. They really could have added fighters to another ship in the huge gap between the Keelback (3 million) and the Type-9/Beluga (75 million), or the Keelback and the FGS (35 million) because gently caress faction grinding

Stepped inside an Anaconda for the first time today. NOT IMPRESSED!  edit: Okay back to the lovely Fed grind, gotta get me a Gunship to use as a sturdier-than-a-Keelback Res fighter platform. Trustworthy fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Nov 3, 2016 |

Is the "sell all modules before trading in your ship" rule still in effect? Or did they update that?

So I've decided to get back into the game after not playing it since before Horizons was updated. I have a Clipper and once the game installs I'll see how it's actually outfitted. What's the best way to get back into the game?

If you like to shootmans, grab some friends (or get on discord and get some goons) and head to a rez. If you missed out on the cashcow that was Sothis Poopsmithing but still want to grind spacemoney, gems might still be a thing, but it looks like everyone is migrating towards high-reputation passengers and skimmer missions. If you like exploration, there are colonized systems west of the core ~20kly from the bubble and they just found some ~alien ruins~ and a second ~alien crash site~ in the bubble. Personally, I am currently jumping from anarchy system to anarchy system, looking for certain states to collect mats so I can bedazzle my explorvette so that it will jump >20ly and still be a decent murderboat!

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Old & boring...also it doesn't look like a star destroyer. For me, the Anaconda was THE endgame ship for too long. It's what everybody seemed to be working toward when there was less to do in the game, and that makes it bland and generic in my book. I doubt I'll ever buy one; I'm far too special a snowflake for that poo poo. edit: Mike the TV posted:Keep in mind this has been officially called an exploit by Frontier and they'll finally be removing it from the game. They usually don't ban for exploits though so everyone is probably safe. That (banning) would be the galaxy's biggest rear end in a top hat move on their part, since 99% gem-collectors probably haven't read whatever forum post they officially labeled it an  exploit in. Unless you follow that kind of thing, there's no really obvious reason to think gems are some kind of cheat, and not just a temporary in-game opportunity to be taken advantage of.

What would be neat is if they made stuff like that gem wreck happen more frequently with non-renewing gems in the various unidentified signals you can find all around. It would make it a neat opportunity for anyone looking to gain some extra cash, but you wouldn't do JUST that. But then again,  eta: I'm not sure if it's been posted here prior, but here's the thread on the E:D forums with the bug report. I mean, considering that particular signal source was the main target of a community goal, it should have been cleaned up afterwards, but really this kind of thing should be a sign that people don't like having to play the game for an eternity to get to the next cool thing.

That's the best part about hamfisted whack-a-mole MMO nerfs - all this does is encourage people to be more aware and jump on this poo poo the second it breaks because the nerf will be in the next patch. Can't do other things because you can do them any time and the money train is for a limited time only. Also that's a hilarious redefinition of "exploit".

They are worth double a gems canister (140k), but a wing of Anacondas attacks you when you try to scoop it. They should be worth millions. Despite it being "highly illegal", you don't get interdicted for them either. jnnnnn fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Nov 4, 2016 |

I've heard that Elite Dangerous makes for a nice podcast game. Is it a hard game to learn? I had thought about reinstalling Microsoft Flight Simulator X, but I figured that Elite would be more entertaining. How often does the game go on sale?

They usually do pretty decent discounts during the big steam sales. It's not super difficult to learn on a basic level. Learning how not to slam yourself into station walls/terrain during takeoff/landing is probably the hardest part for most new pilots, followed by not running out of gas and deciphering the byzantine peculiarities of the mission system. Take it slow and ask questions in discord as appropriate and you'll be fine.

It's much easier to avoid now, at least. Might want to "learn" it the hard way in a Sidewinder instead of a ship with a higher rebuy cost tho  To me it happened after not checking the last jumps to a mailman mission destination, with the last three stars (including the destination) being non-scoopable, and the station 150k ls away. I ran out about 1700 ls from the station.

So, turned in 16 million credits worth of exploration data to Palin, went from nothing to 95% of the way through level 4. Now I just need to know - is Dirty Drive Tuning better than Clean Drive Tuning? It looks like Dirty Drive Tuning is the "I want to go fast and don't care about heat" mod while Clean Drive Tuning is "I want my heat reduced" but I'm getting thrown by there not being a "speed" stat on thrusters. What's the deal with the Optimal Mass and Optimal Multiplier stats on thrusters, basically?
