mehall posted:Cool, lets not do that then. No decal for me haha. Not sure how long you've been playing, but just want to make sure you know your ship/progress is exactly the same in Open/Private/Solo modes. If you log off at a station in open play and switch to solo, you will still be right there with everything you had before.

Guess I'll just play in solo until if/when I want to join a playergroup then. Didn't realise it was shared progress.

You can press ctrl B to see what your connection is doing. If you get a spike in data while in open play then that means another player is near. It's nice how it works to hop between all three instances, though, since you start exactly where you left off. It helps for some missions when looking for stuff and refreshing the items or NPCs in the area.

You only get the frog emblem if you play in open? That’s odd. I just spent like half an hour trying to get an unknown probe to drop. Is there some magic to this poo poo? I just want to be able to drive into the thargoid base.

Obviously first of all you want to be in orbit of an ammonia world around Maia. The only trick is to make sure you don't cruise too slow, because that will lower your chance of seeing a USS. Just circle the planet quickly for 10 minutes and you should find the correct USS.

The real multiplayer in Elite is playing in whatever mode you feel like because you won't see anyone except at CGs or a handful of specific high traffic systems but having Discord on another monitor or as an overlay for the actual interaction.

Exposing yourself to risk and getting ganked builds character. I've done maybe a dozen CGs in open and got ganked maybe three times. I've encountered polite pirates even more often, and it's a skill builder to learn reading your radar and contacts tab when jumping into a system. Maybe an FDL, Cutter and/or FAS all clustered close to the drop-in? Quick scan show they're CMDRs? High-wake out. Get 'dicted? Well try and break the lock or drop in and try to evade and boost out. It's fun, gets your adrenaline pumping and if you lose a ship so what? If you made a long trip to get to a CG system, maybe park in a station in a nearby system first.

Do you need a UA in your hold to get a UP degraded site to drop? The only sites dropping are the thargoid battle sites. I just skipped it and went to the base anyways to check it out. I’m just going to go back to 63g after this and space truck beer and watch the base poo poo on YouTube gently caress.

Brought in some stuff for Skvortsov Orbital and tried out auto-docking for the first time. It seems to have mutated my Type 9. well.... departing under that circumstance wasn't the best idea with being half clipped inside the station, bouncing all around, and nearly being exploded.
