How good are all of the sounds in this game? I can't think of another game I'd rather crank my headphones up to dangerous levels for.

Every ship sounds different, everything in the game has its own little sound that meshes together - from the subtle thrum of a big ship's power plant, to the whine of capacitors charging a heartbeat before your afterburner kicks in, to the distinct engine sounds of every ship - the sound design in this game is top notch. After a while you start being able to more or less navigate a supercruise drop to a target by ear alone, just listening to the noises your FSD makes in-flight.

Yup, by that point, you're spaghetti from the tidal forces. The radiation is probably handled by the ship itself, so that to me doesn't require too much of a suspension of disbelief.

KakerMix thank you for the nebula tip! That arch nebula is awesome close up. I had actually passed by it out there and didn’t even know it.  This is my last shot of the horsehead nebula and Bernard’s loop before heading back to the bubble. It has been a good trip.

This is an amazingly awesome photo that if you don't look closely you might just scroll past. Oh just some guy near a star OH SHI-- And yeah the sounds are great in this game. I fly the DBX (dragonball explorer, right?) as my exploration vehicle just because the engines sound like they're just not up for the task of moving the ship around. (groaning) bwooo-bwoo-bwoooooo

There are so many good tiny sounds in the game. The last two seconds of a discovery scan, that stolen-from-star-Wars radio sound when you recall your ship on a planet, refueling in space... I wish I could experience dropping in front of a sun for the first time again because I specifically remember it being loud and terrifying and awesome all at once.

Say, how did you get it? I still do not have one. It is good to be back home. Are the diamond frogs up to anything lately?  Also, exploring is very fun but grade 5 overcharged huge multicannons are even more fun.

Sol permit is part of the Federation ranking rewards. http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Federation/Ranks Not really much to see or do there unless you like looking at FDev's idea of what human colonization would be like.

Rynoto posted:Sol permit is part of the Federation ranking rewards. http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Federation/Ranks Except that since Sol is a hand-crafted system, many of the landable moons have relatively easy access to a shitbunch of rare materials. I think between the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, you can grab pretty much all the important rare minerals you'd want.

Best sound is clearly the FDL decelerating. BWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOwowowowowowowow. Also I am compensating with mine.  Seriously though, what would be better, one huge beam with 4 medium MCs or one huge MC with four medium beams?

i'm up to about 175 systems visited out of my 285 system road to riches journey and im already theory crafting ships that i will never actually be able to buy since i will jump directly into a black hole in system 284 when i get back i want to get combat vouchers for the engineer that wants combat vouchers, is this a federal assault ship that will do the job in a combat zone without getting its rear end shot off (i have no clue what to put in the low class optional slots except armor plating) https://coriolis.io/outfit/federal_...gun%20pig%20fas

CornHolio posted:Best sound is clearly the FDL decelerating. BWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOwowowowowowowow. 1 Huge beam and 4 MCs gives you more time before you drain your weapons, so if your doing PvE, I think it is better. Note that Medium kinetic weapons take a damage penalty against larger ships, which is a really important factor. However with Beta 3.0 Efficient beams got way better, so after 3.0 I'm thinking 4 Beams, 1 Huge MC. But I need more time to experiment to know for sure.

Delerion posted:Have they nerfed upsilon -> LTT passenger route yet? Bulk passenger missions were completely destroyed and now it's just the waiting game for the big update to inevitably introduce a new unintended source of money. With that said, rescue missions were pretty much unchanged and can provide a decent, steady stream of income if you don't mind a more active style. Stations are even getting closer to the bubble for them.

If you aren't using fixed weapons, it's a little bit lose-lose because projectile weapons are kind of obnoxious to use in underbelly hardpoints due to the limited tracking angle. It's not as bad in a maneuverable ship like the fdl, but if your target is making hard turns you might find that the arc which lets you shoot with all of your weapons at once is pretty narrow.
