Adult Sword Owner posted:Is there any way to shut up the cockpit voice over? I toggle Flight Assist on and off all the time in combat (sweet spins) and I don't need the DING FLIGHT ASSIST ON DING FLIGHT ASSIST OFF DING FLIGHT ASSIST ON the entire time. I'm fine with the sound but the voiceover is just unnecessary. Did they not think people would do this in combat? Yes, you can turn off the specific FA voice over in the audio settings, or be like me and mute the voice entirely. It actually feels way more immersive (more BSG than Star Trek), and the voice is unnecessary after figuring out the game.

AndroidHub posted:Well, they didn't mention it specifically, but multicrew basically confirms ship naming. I'm wondering how it will work when one member of a crew is wanted before joing a ship that isn't wanted. And what will happen if you're in an SRV/Fightercraft with no FSD and your mothership gets blown up (or just wanders away/logs off.) They've talked before that they want reputation to be more ship-specific so that a bounty would follow a ship and not necessarily a player (at least before a bounty scan, I imagine). Think of buying a really good price anaconda because the seller needed it gone fast, but it means you'll be hunted down for a while.

Lima posted:The game engine would have to model a lot of physics acurately to be able to generate that procedually, such as magnetic fields and uh, gravity. It already can generate rings, so there's no reason it can't do it on a larger scale for accretion disks. The only new thing it would have to do is distort local in-system items (such as the accretion disk or other stars). Once that's done it'd look pretty much just like Interstellar. Beyond that, it'd be cool if they could model plasma flow between two close stars.

I bought an $11 google cardboard off Amazon Prime just to dick around with it. Anyway, I got it all set up and decided to try it out with Elite, because I've been dying to try VR for a long time and I can't wait to buy a Vive in a few months. Holy poo poo Wow. The resolution is crap so I can't read half the text, but it's otherwise SO. INCREDIBLY. IMMERSIVE. I love it!

TorakFade posted:Played a bit of CQC, very nice. I can kill people pretty good, but my k/d ratio is horrible ; once someone starts shooting at me I can't shake them. Any advice besides get good? If you're in the condor then put full pips in engines at all times unless you're shooting at someone and can spare some speed for firepower. Zoom and strafe and go fast like sonic at all times. Stay close to cover. Never go in the open, that's where sidewinder does best. And use power ups. Like nonstop. Just keep going back for power ups.

chaosapiant posted:What's the consensus on reverse throttle controls on a HOTAS? I'm currently using my X52 as a full range forward throttle, with a reverse toggle button for reverse thrusters. Looking at Youtube vids of folks mastering FA mode makes me think that having throttle forward/half reverse might be better, as well as free up the toggle button for something else. I hope these words make sense to space nerds. I started out with a THRUSTMASTER HOTAS X and upgraded to a 52pro, so it was a no brainer for me set my new throttle up as a forward/reverse because that's how my old one was. It makes CQC a lot easier because you can do reverse barrel rolls with FA off really fast and feel like a badass (especially if you thrust vertically at the same time). The only issue I have is the X52 has no friction in the middle, so I just set up a small dead-zone of about 8% and my brain figured out pretty fast where the throttle equals zero. It's actually kind of cool because the little friction click it does at high speeds (both forward and reverse) are now exactly where the blue ends in my velocity, so I know exactly where my best maneuverability is. I hope that was enough nerd-talk and helped you out a bit.

chaosapiant posted:So I played around last night with this method of control and...I dunno. I don't like it. It might take getting used to because I keep throwing myself into reverse, or lurching forward from the pad when trying to lift off because my throttle is ever so slightly forward. I didn't edit the deadzone though, but it still feels unnatural as a whole. Well yeah just edit the dead zone. It's super easy to change in the game settings.

Kryopsis posted:CQC is a blast to play, especially on the asteroid maps where you can shake pursuers off or, appear out of nowhere behind an unshielded craft and unload your guns before the pilot even realizes what's going on. Shame the payout is so meagre. I got a flawless match just now where I ended with 7 kills and 1 assist without dying and... it's just not worth it, financially Supposedly the payout is better if you prestige a few times. That'd take forever of course, but you could just have fun until then I guess. I am curious what the top level payout is though. Like are we talking 100k or more?

 Procedural generation means all of the worlds will be generated with the same algorithm though, I can safely judge based on this one because every hilly plains world will look exactly like that, maybe with a cave or two.

Besides the Bacon City CG there is also a rares smuggling CG in Noti. It's not great pay to actually smuggle the items, but the CG might have decent payout. If you have a high jump range it could be worth it to get it up a few tiers.

Sekenr posted:CQC players: Whats your opinion on plasma repeaters? Yes or no? I can't make up my mind, damage is great but it doesn't seem to be useful at any kind of distance. I love them because you only need one pip in weapons to kill a dude with them, freeing your distribution to full engines. Combined with a firepower upgrade they can kill a fully shielded eagle or condor in one pass.

FronzelNeekburm posted:It seems like stations that are farther away or less frequented now bump the rewards up to entice people to take them. Sothis is the farthest station, so it can generate some ridiculous payouts, depending on your ranks and local faction standing. On a personal note, I've been grinding away for ages to get over 100 million credits. I had been stuck at the 60-70mil range for a very long time. Sothis just netted me ~25mil for two trips.

Chrysophylax posted:Shield cell banks are dumb but they're a symptom of the problem instead of the cause, IMO. Yeah, I think the best solution is that larger shield size -> sturdier shields. Also, make it so damage isn't nerfed depending on the size of your opponent. Really, the way they went about it is about as backwards as I can imagine (Shields are all basically the same or worse on big ships, but little weapons do less damage to big ships)

Sard posted:Got a question here about CZs: Your federation rank never goes down, but your standing can. So you can go from allied to neutral but still get naval progression missions. I'm pretty sure getting involved in a fed vs fed battle will lower your standing. Of course running a few missions would just raise it back up. I don't think independents in CZs count as civilians.

Just like bounty, factions literally do not matter at all. You can get as emotionally attached as you want and cry on the frontier forums about how you accidentally got a 100 credit bounty in your home system and now the game is ruined, or you can fly to the next system. If your pet faction tanks... Who cares? Once your aggressors back off, feel free to fix that factions influence. If somebody in solo tanks your pet station's economy, why cry about it? It'll bounce back within a few days. One of the major unchanging points of this game is that there will never be played owned stations or territories, which means that we only have a minor influence on what happens. There's an op by the diamond frogs right now to tank someone else's group. It's working and that's cool. But in a few weeks they'll have it back up where they want it and that's cool too.

Kurr de la Cruz posted:Thrustmaster HOTAS X is like 40-50 bucks and a very solid product. I recommend that. I've had both the Thrustmaster HOTAS X and the X52 Pro and I like them both. The X52 is the same as the one in the ship so once I get a Vive or Oculus it'll really help MY IMMERSION. However, the THX is also amazing because despite the low price it's really durable and the throttle clicks in the middle just perfectly (obviously great for Elite). Isinona also uses the THX which sells it for me- watch a video here to see how much a pro this guy is -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLXzEQyacMw

Beta usually uses an old version of the universe, so you might get back only to realize you're still out in the black in beta. Do whatever you want to do for now and when the beta drops just self destruct back to civilization and buy everything for a fraction of what it costs in the main game.
