Werp, sounds like I finally have an excuse to try the Orca.

I haven't played since a few months after launch and am thinking about installing this again when I take a months leave at the end of the week. I am pretty sure cargo hauling broke my brain and I'm sure I had most of my money sunk into a type 9. What should I know what and should I do if I buy the expansion and get back in? edit: Also I bought this off the site originally is there a way to put it on my steam account?

Log in to your account on https://www.frontierstore.net/ then go to the Partner Keys page; there should be a code to unlock the Steam version, or you might have to request it, I don't remember. That's where you get it though.

Elite requires metagame organization at this stage. I threw down an invite because I knew anyone monitoring this thread would know what they were doing. I was in queue for less than a minute and I played FFA Deathmatch for about an hour.

They should just make the arena mode F2P instead of charging 3.99 or whatever bullshit for it.

The proven method to getting a match in CQC: 1- Use the discord server. It has people that absolutely love to play. You can announce that you want to start a match, or see if one is currently going on. There's also a neat effect where once you get a decent amount of people playing, even more people join in for fun. I've played for several hours in a row before, with no wait for matches. https://discord.me/elitedangerouscqc 2- Try to play during 5pm-7pm London time. This part sucks if you are like me in the US, but you'll have the most luck getting a match around that time. It is possible to get matches at different times of the day, but you'll absolutely want to try to set it up on discord first or else you'll just be waiting in the lobby forever.

tooterfish posted:Heh, figures. I think the order of events was: -released as a game mode, accessible only through the main game -released as a standalone game as well, for  -standalone went on sale -standalone made FTP -standalone abandoned and taken from stores -made accessible only through the main game The funny and tragic part is that all of that happened in just a few months. They didn't even give it a chance to succeed. Edit: even worse is that it has been apparently abandoned (or at least put in cold storage) from the main game as well. During the livestream a few days ago, Sandro answered a few questions for the audience. One of them was about updates to CQC and he laughed it off that anyone was even asking about it and admitted he didn't know about any future updates.

I’ve been using a type 7 and I’m getting a mil or more per run, which take all of 5minutes to do. Yeah they are still going strong. People are using cutters and anacondas so I’m sure a type 9 would be ok. Watch for debris though, you really don’t have much time to dock due to the extreme heat and there’s been a few times where I’ve hit debris or been hit with an explosion that’s sent me bouncing around and the resulting damage is quite high, even with heat sinks. Playing in open is actually fun too because there is such a large community presence. People form cues for the large landing pads and there’s usually someone in an anaconda or federal corvette parked near the station or the line acting like security. I’ve only seen one griefer and he got unloaded on by the rescue ship and people near by. It is really a rad thing they’ve done. So is there a new station in 63 G capricorni to check out after the community goal completed? What does it do?

I brought my Anaconda and just stuck to solo mode to avoid the congestion at the rescue ship. A Python can land on mediums and has a decent cargo capacity, would make a decent choice for this mission in open mode.

I’d recommend fitting at least a cargo rack on your rescue ship because for some reason the missions are still giving out engineering commodity rewards.

A Python can land on mediums and has a decent cargo capacity, would make a decent choice for this mission in open mode. A Python can fit 140 economy passengers, with a shield and a 4t cargo rack for when you accidentally take a mission with a cargo reward (which you'll do all the time because the station's UI glitches out constantly due to the damage). To put that into context a Type 9 with shield and small cargo rack can fit ~120, a Beluga ~148, an Anaconda ~160m and a Cutter ~168.

The Beluga has use one of its class 6 slots for shields, so that screws it a bit. The Python can fit class 3. So a shieldless Beluga could cram another 32 in. Probably not a good idea for the rescue missions though.

Dolemite posted:Has anyone had any success using an Asp Explorer as a Good? Good enough for mission running and light bounty hunting, sure. And it's pretty fun. Probably not good enough for heavy duty warfighting or spending hours in a hazres. I have an engineered Asp Explorer I keep around for running missions and exploring but I mostly avoid unnecessary combat in it. I guess it also depends on your combat rank since iirc having a higher combat rank makes enemies in bigger ships spawn.

Fans some rescue missions last night and they were neat. Just wish I could dump all the passengers at once. Surprised I did not wreck my type 9 one my first few flight back in the game. What are some of the good commodity tools out there now? Really want to get up to 20m credits an hour to finish off my anaconda savings fund. If there is anything else that I could do in a 9 that will boost my earnings let me know.

I played in open for a change and the game lags horribly despite having good net, it crashed twice despite never crashing in solo, and then I proceeded to get grief rammed to death while people occupied all the landing pads. All in about an hour and 20 minutes. Elite is a good single player game. Anime Store Adventure fucked around with this message at 04:40 on Dec 19, 2017 |
