I've been working on engineers, currently trying to get an invite for Liz Ryder but the invitation isn't coming up as promptly as I'd like. Otherwise this is going pretty smoothly, but my Python doesn't even hit 40LY yet.

Did they actually go through with the "you don't get poo poo for bounties unless you're already Elite in combat" thing in the end?

Fiddled about with the character creator briefly. Or holo-me, whatever. Seems good. I think  kind of shot themselves in the foot though - the default shiny black space suit looks better than any of the cash shop ones.

Otherwise this is going pretty smoothly, but my Python doesn't even hit 40LY yet. I think you should look into a different ship if you want 40ly. By the time you achieve that in a Python you'll be flying an empty hull. That's no criticism of the Python, just don't expect it to be leggy AND useful.

Is there any way to swap a frameshift modules between ships? My asp already has pretty close to a maximal engineered FSD, and I don't have much in the way of materials to get my Diamondback explorer done, but they have identical drive sizes.

If they're the same size, you can definitely pull the FSD from your Asp and then transfer it into your DBX. Go to the FSD in Outfitting and search through the Transfer/Storage options. You'll need to be able to afford (at least) the cheapest, shittiest possible FSD for your Asp when you transfer the good FSD out; you can't leave empty core slots in a ship. edit: Make sure both ships are at the same station, or you'll have to do an extra step of transporting the module. Also make sure you're storing the modded FSD and not selling it, because that would suck. Trustworthy fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Apr 12, 2017 |

Yup just store the module. Swap to your other ship and mount the engineered one. If they're in different locations you can just ship the module for some fee and wait for it to arrive.

^ ^Yep. You can also transport a module size smaller on some ships, should your circumstances dictate. I remember temporarily using my Anaconda with 6A Thrusters for reasons of moving the module to Maia. I was surprised that it didn't feel much slower, but that's probably because the default 7E module was so tedious. apropos man fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Apr 12, 2017 |

I guess it depends what you decide useful means. Mine's doing 36.7 unladen right now and I haven't yet been able to engineer lighter-weight components on all the modules that support them. I'm not sure that will get me where I want to be but I'm at least going to try.

The DBX makes for a fun little sightseeing ship. Especially when combined with a FSD boost and it doing 60LY single jumps. The Dolphin is also pretty fun, granted not as long range (can only get it to around 40 or so LY).

It's now Q2, 2017, and 2.3 is out. That means my long wait for the PS4 version is almost over. Been lurking this thread for years, and I'm ready. Just a few more weeks and I can finally get into space. Any other potential PS4 lurkers here? Add ParkingtigersX on PSN, we'll have to setup a goon PS4 group for this game and get ourselves organises (ha). Been browsing the Frontier store in anticipation. Those ship kits for the smaller craft look fun. I can tell I'm going to throw a ton of money at making my pretend space car look prettier than your pretend space car. The true endgame.

I'll wait on someone more grognardy to crunch the numbers on whether 'double range' or 'double speed' surface scanning is more minmax before doing the needful.

Uh guys... I think the Thargoids might be looking for me. They just wouldn't leave me alone.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXI3RjwGSkI Edit: Looking at it again, it almost seems as though they are blocking me from going to Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-13. I don't ever recall hearing of them blocking a destination before. Rocket Pan fucked around with this message at 11:42 on Apr 12, 2017 |

Just when I thought my Engineer grind was over and I could go back to exploring in peace: For what it's worth, I was at Juri's joint last night and he offered me Tier 5 upgrades for Sensors/Surface Scanners. Maybe an oversight, or a last minute tweak to help people get caught up? Just grind out a million combat bonds (one of the Engineers screens says 100,000, but it's still 1,000,000), head over to Pater's Memorial with a fat pile of iron to grind rep, and be done with it.

Considering you'll spend most of your time in flight waiting to get in range I'm going to go with "range". But ultimately "neither" because the flight time to get to a particularly interesting unexplored world can be pretty significant. I wouldn't worry about it personally, so long as you've all the power you need and a level 5 FSD.

A friend of mine tried to play Elite for the first time last night, and it like crashed her graphics driver so hard that she had to like uninstall the driver and then install the new one clean. Like, the normal update installer from nvidia was just kinda failing. I had to go to bed before she was done, so I hope it all worked out

It really does look like they're working on two different branches at a time and are terrible at syncing bugfixes between them.

It is kind of nice how you can offset the extra weight of a modded surface scanner with lightweight sensors. I'm still only at 52ly with this DBX, though, with lightweight, undersized, etc. everything. I think I might need to head back to Felicity and see if I can get a better roll on the FSD.
