Sleep tight, sweet Quince... It was good to me, final tally for me was +500M, +1 Beluga, and +9.75 Imperial rank...I'm a count!  And a very special thanks to our glorious benefactors in Diamond Frogs for making my long dream of a galcop sticker come true!  Been playing around with the new patch and the camera suite. I finally bound it to the gamepad I use for my SRV, and can exhibit some control over the thing. I figured out blur and focus!     Got back in the corvette to grind out the million bounties for Juri...    While in the zone, finally saw a cap ship enter! Very cool, especially when a second landed and they started fighting!  So now back in my DBX to get the new mods before trying the camera out with a quick exploration run!

Mercurius posted:The Diamondback can only fit a dinky little fuel scoop and takes forever to fill up to full. That's about the only real advantage the Asp has these days, though. Uhh, the AspX can fit a size 6 Optional Internal and a size 5 whereas the DBX has only 4 or less. If you want to do those super long range passenger missions (which can be lucrative if you wanted to go out exploring anyway) the AspX has more than enough passenger space whereas the DBX might not be able to take some of those missions.

SpaceClown posted:i wanna get back into this game but all i've ever done is run cargo between systems in single player Not so much as trying to find other things to do. Try other pursuits like Exploring, Passenger Running, Smuggling, RES Ratting, CZ Ratting, or anything else. Maybe you'll like doing those better. Bonus, almost all of those can be done in groups or wings EDIT: So I've got my FAS almost all A-graded and I've found a decent weapon config which is large beam on top bound to fire 1 and a large pulse and 2 medium MCs below bound to Fire 2. I'm thinking about swapping out the lower large Pulse for a Large MC and maybe the medium ones to Pulses. Thoughts? Overwined fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Apr 13, 2017 |

Mercurius posted:If you want to do super long range passenger missions you'd be better off using an Orca since all of the passenger ships had their base mass adjusted to significantly increase their jump range. Maybe, but that wasn't the question, to say nothing of the cost differences.

Yeah. Although I like the way it's currently announced it goes against logic and continuity to have a custom ship ID that bears no resemblance to how the station codifies you.

adamantium|wang posted:So now the Diamondbacks are lighter and can get a bigger jump range is there any reason* to use an Asp? The Asp carries more equipment and more redundancy for long-distance exploration. It also sounds like a Fokker in space.

I am half wanting to refit my Asp to be what God intended, a deep space exploration vessel instead of the current mission / passenger running cab I use it for now. I already have a good fsd mod that gets range in the 40s when fit with light stuff, what's the go-to exploration setup besides obviously huge fuel scoop and an SRV bay? Worth it to bring multiple heat sinks, AFM modules etc? On that same note what is a good setup for a separate passenger ship without breaking the bank? I have around 100 spare millions, is the dolphin too cheap / limited?

KakerMix posted:There was a time when patches for Elite were substantial like they are now but were executed flawlessly. I'm pretty sure you can lay a lot of current blame for slow updates and overall roughness on Frontier working on the PS4 client. A large bulk of their effort is going into prepping a new platform and new revenue source, and that cuts into existing work until it's done. Saw the same thing with console Minecraft. It was out in PS3 and 360 and Vita, and 4J studios was doing a fine job of closing the gap with the PC version. Then they had to start working in the PS4 and Xbone versions and updates slowed to a crawl for months. Then once they were out the updates went back to full speed across all 5 platforms. I'd bet cash money it's exactly what is happening inside Frontier right now, and, you'll see an uptick in dev speed/updates post PS4 launch.

Like this  Also lol; hopped out of the DBX into the Conda to go try out the twin multi condor fighter, got a high grade emissions spot to drop into on my flight; awesome, drop in and launch my limpets. Yes you can't swap from Conda to DBX with any cargo in your hold, including limpets so you have to sell them = 0 limpets. Ok, moving this great bulk about picking stuff up with the scoop directly I can do without

As someone who hasn't played since... uhh 1.3 or whenever they introduced PowerPlay (I didn't do any of that poo poo), what should I be doing to play catch up? I have the season pass. Also, can someone point me to some decent bindings for a PS3 Dual Shock 3 controller?
