Is there any way to escape the space police after you accidentally hit them with 2 autocannon rounds?

Before long you will be standing your bird on its tail in a 2-4-0 power config and clicking the boost & chaff controls before the third of a three round multi burst hits a cop conda

Dock somewhere (fly it like you stole it to avoid scans) and pay off your fine. Done. Should only be a token fine anyway and then you can get back to RES grinding in peace. Alternative: Just move on to the next nearest RES site in a neighbouring system for the next two weeks and let it expire normally. Alternative Alternative: Kill all the cops for their sweet engineering materials THEN move on to the next system like the locust you are.

I used to bop around in my Fuel Rat DBX, saving stranded NPC pilots in between the distress calls of real people. It was fun and satisfying. Now that I've converted my DBX into the featherweight exploration ship of my dreams, however, gently caress 'em all!

It's come to my attention that some of you aren't in an Elite Dangerous Player Group! Maybe you are casual, or your friends are and you wanted a public atmosphere to hang out in, hop on over to the Adamant Toads discord server and introduce yourself!

Quince has shown how fun the Sidewinder is when it comes to landing. The thing is like a Tonka truck as you can pretty much slam the bugger into the ground and it will usually lock and land. Or the front will catch and do a few forward flips.

And since they only come in one size, how much trouble would it actually be to just grind out gun rank and buy half a dozen pack hounds to leave in storage?

Grinding out the rank is stupid easy. It's the waiting four weeks before you can actually buy them that is the pain and trouble.

Four weeks? Jesus, why four? Power play without the gap time and aggressive merit decay (do they still decay?) would be awesome. Imagine if PP ranks functioned like faction rep, and the grind was in the initial build-up rather than tediously maintaining it. You'd see a lot more people making a choice and getting semi-ironically attached to the figurehead who supports their playstyle or rp, if you didn't have to devote all your time every week to re-proving your drat loyalty. And if people were permanently flying under one color, weapons would be more like faction trademarks than a not-worth grind carrot. Plus it's the simplest implementation. They had to go well out of their way to make it this unfun, and I don't understand why...

Almost everything in this game can be semi-reasonably explained and you can agree or disagree with it, but there can't possibly be any sane reason for how Powerplay is handled, we can only shrug it off as "silly dev is up to their usual shenanigans"

Powerplay was like my first autism and thus I know far too much about how it came to be for my own good Basically they wanted to avoid 'power musical chairs' just for the modules, so obviously the way around this is to make it so it takes 44 loving weeks to collect them all. People still did musical chairs, it only takes time, and thus started 's permanent "we don't have a loving clue how people actually play this game"Keep in mind all the while the actual powerplay players are caremad that people just grind out the easiest way - which at best wastes effort and at worst wrecks plans - and would rather have it so the modules were just freely given E: Seriously literally no one is satisfied with the module situation. managed a game mechanic that only the tiniest of a fraction of the players actually care about and it can't even satisfy them entirely

They should just move the modules to engineers (like those special size 2/3 engines some of them sell) and be done with it Or you know just freely available period but I'd accept them being sold by the appropriate engineers

After making a 10ly round trip I was getting tired on hearing "frame shift drive charging" but selling all the data to farseer got me to rank 4. Plus seeing the first to discover notice makes the exploration trips worth it. My only problem is searching for systems while using VR as my keyboard isn't near my controllers.

If you're not concerned as much about multicrew you can just stick multicannons or whatever on the medium hard points for a bit more hull damage. Those points are right at the front of the ship so they're also a pretty good candidate for fixed weapons to use at point blank range.

If I set up voice attack I'm pretty sure my wife would kill me. Or never have sex with me again. One of the two. [Edit: gently caress me, I just realized you can have William Shatner respond.
