Sadly I'm making that up. Giving all Elite owners on Steam a free weekend would be a pretty cool move through.

I'm interested in a Frontier game where fun isn't a zero sum game.

So I finally gathered the mats for 3x G5 OC pulse lasers, are any of the engineer effects worth getting? Edit: Scramble Spectrum sounds fun, but is it worth stacking on all three Pulses? INTJ Mastermind fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Nov 15, 2016 |

What were long distance passenger missions typically paying before the recent nerf?

I only now realized that Frag Cannons have a 'double shot' modification option. I'm increasingly tempted to fit three C3 frags with double shot on my Python and fly a giant super shotgun.

The double shot just makes you use ammo faster.

With my full suite of jump hacks and the right missions and a beluga, hauling passengers to sag a and back is almost as good as going afk in a conflict zone overnight.

E Equals MC Hammer posted:jump hacks I thought this crashed the client E: For the love of God, give me at least a half-deent looking female crew member Why do all the female crew members look like they were born with the names Barry, Butch, Chuck, Axel and had a sex change? They look manly as hell. I was expecting at least one exotic beauty that looks like Aisling Duval in the list of the hundreds I have checked. Who wants to share a cockpit with an apparent female that may or may not have a bigger appendage than you? I would rather have the Blue Haired Princess sat on my lap in skimpy undies as I mangle her enemies in my FDL. If I can't have her, at least give me a semi-good looking gal. I want to be able to look over to my co-pilot seat and see rays of sunshine, see rose petals raining and hear the beautiful sounds of the Earth birds as I gaze upon her then BAAAAAMMM!!!! Asteroid and Rebuy screen. Not look over my shoulder at something that may or may not be human and fear for my rear end as I sleep at night.

I spent an absurd amount of time at a high pop station scanning wakes and only got a few of the right thing. Then on recommendation from a random brown sea post I popped over to Jameson Memorial in the founder's system and was immediately getting as many datamined wake exceptions as I could handle. I unironically believe the spawns are better in the Founder's system, since that was the place the Super-Patrician-Alpha-Kickstarters first got access to. I've been looking all over for arsenic: nothing for weeks. I found 30 in an hour in Shinrarta the other night...and more the night after...and even more after that.

Maybe the drops are better in the systems where you need a permit. I found Arsenic pretty easily in Sol. Maybe I should go back there for wake scanning. Last night produced zero Datamined Wake Exceptions.

Passenger missions are great, I landed at the destination and while I'm watching the little animation as the station services opens I hear "incoming mission critical message" and they want to go back to the station they started at.

Pilchenstein posted:Yeah, I never do but it still happens sometimes. The best part is that I would happily just abandon the mission when this happens but doing so permanently reduces the number of missions you can hold at once. Wait what? I thought the limit was 20 no matter what...what are you talking about?

The real issue is that if you remove the things that aren't fun (monotonous grind) there aren't many fun things left.
