Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Oh right on! I think we are on the same page now. Not unless you backed them up. This comes about every patch, sadly. After you perfect your bindings this time, make sure you save the keybind file (google for the location). I have mine backed up on my Google Drive. Cowcaster posted:on an entirely different topic, with the new way engineering works what happens if you decide you want to switch the kind of upgrade you want on a module? do you have to run it through everything from scratch? can you switch to an upgrade the same level as the one it already has? I think you have to redo it from scratch, unless you're just changing the experimental effect.

It turns out the cheap as hell Guardian Power Plant was a bug and is now fixed (8a went from 5mil to 120 mil). A bonus though is all regular PPs have been made cheaper. Ed Lewis, while addressing this, accidentally spoiled as of yet unreleased modules: guardian power distributer, guardian fsd booster

Trustworthy posted:Is there a consensus on best experimental mod for shields? The recharge mod is the newest one. I'd assume that would be the best if you mostly care about long-term engagements like HazRezes. If you want to PVP you might want to consider multiweave or hi-cap. I want to test the recharge mod on a bi-weave shield and see if it gets ridiculous regen. Rynoto posted:I was almost done collecting all the guardian stuff, too. Quite a price hike on that but not too surprising. The newest update is that you are also not supposed to engineer any of the Guardian items. Anyone who has already engineered the power plant will have it returned to standard and some high-end materials added to their inventory.

8A Guardian Power Plant vs. Grade 5 Overcharged 8A standard: GPP is/has: 20% more expensive 25% heavier a little less power output a little worse heat management 25% more integrity Result- absolutely not worth it unless you're like me and already got it for 5mil.

Knifegrab posted:What are the best weapons for destroying submodules? If the modules you want to break are on the outside of the ship (ie, cargo hatch, weapons, utlities), missiles are great. The Packhound missiles might be the best in that regard. For internal modules, you'll want railguns that are modified for extra penetration.

I noticed this as well as I was grinding out 750 merits. So what does notoriety do? So far I haven't noticed any consequences.

Trustworthy posted:I wish they fixed the stacking exploit, rather than just nuking the missions in their entirety. I was getting some $8M skimmer missions with maxed out rep, and I'd be quite happy to do them one at a time as the good lord intended. Yeah mission stacking and board hopping are what causes all of the big issues. Before these were discovered the worst "exploits" were things like hanging around a Farragut and letting it help you blow up pirates.

CapnBry posted:I can't imagine how you're supposed to get a fully decked out Cutter, Anaconda, or something if you only relied on the payouts they've designed. The game economy just doesn't scale up that way. A *billion* dollar Cutter doesn't make money 100X faster than an AspX or Vulture at 8M credits, which doesn't make money 10X faster than my Cobra did, and the Cobra doesn't make money 10X faster than a Sidewinder. It just gets slower and slower and you're still doing the same things you were doing before but now can only land on a Large landing pad. I bought my Cutter by trading, from a T6, to a T7, to a T9. There was a big community goal payout of a couple hundred million at one point, and that let me finally purchase one. Then I used the Cutter to do trade routes until I could outfit it properly. There is a progression- at least in trading. In combat, not really. Then I reset my game. I went exploring in a barely upgraded Sidewinder and made it past Sag A* before returning home. Now I own an Anaconda from that adventure.

Most of us are probably going to play for 1000+ hours anyway, so in that respect it means there is still stuff for us to have a goal towards. The money thing never bothered me, but I'm the kind of crazy person that enjoys the Sidewinder and Asp Scout.

CapnBry posted:An A-rated cutter is 957M just for core modules + shield with military composites, or 769M if the hull isn't upgraded. Given the 200M ship cost, let's say it takes 500-700M to upgrade the core. The best trade loop route I know of is about 5000 profit/ton, so let's call it 6000/ton. It can carry 760 tons and still have shields, so 4.56M per loop round trip with a loop being 20 minutes. 13.68M per hour means 36.5 hours or 51.2 hours with military composites. That's 51 straight hours of running a loop between two stations 3 jumps apart. Make sure you're paying attention too, because if you're only sort engaged and a loop takes you 30 minutes, that's 77 hours or about 2 weeks of full-time playing to outfit it. Yikes! I appreciate the math. My route was 1 jump with stations close to the star, so the round-trip took under 10 minutes, 8 minutes when I sped through it. 4.5M per loop, like you mention. I had a secondary route that was 3-4 jumps, but had about 6mil in profit thanks to powerplay. I also once went space-mad and tried to fill up my Cutter with farmed meta-alloys. I only got halfway before giving up from boredom, but it was an insane cash infusion.

Tippis posted:If you've chartered the entire jet, they'll divert to the nearest airfield, wait for 48 hours for a new flightplan to clear, charge you for the extra trip (also in advance, just like the first one — your loss that you didn't go all the way), and then put you on a “let's think twice about this customer” list. And if you as a customer kicked up a fuss, law enforcement would be waiting at the terminal with a couple of probing… hmm… what's the word. Not questions. Just “probing”, I guess. Would you also like us to create and follow a flightplan in Elite? That way we can call in our destination before leaving, and we can't stop along the way. A high grade USS in your path? Don't stop, it's not on the plan. Decide you want to stop at a hazrez to shoot pirates for a little while? You get a huge fine for deviating from the flight plan. Run out of fuel? Lose your pilots license.

The "locate X materials" wing missions are actually great for newbies. A cmdr with a T9 can do the bulk of it, and his friend in a Sidewinder can deliver 1 ton and get a massive payday.

Helianthus Annuus posted:The guardian weapons function like the railgun and the plasma accelerator, but they are strictly better in terms of DPS. Yes and they also look rad as gently caress, so that's a huge bonus. Put them on the front of a Cobra or Asp and be amazed.

Cowcaster posted:i mean if the guardian weapons are so good that they'll make small ships more dangerous than big ships now, doesn't it stand to reason big ships will be even more dangerous than that because they have a million more slots that fit c2 weapons, bigger power plants to run them, and bigger power distributors They are tricky to use, and I imagine a large ship would have a lot of trouble manoeuvering well enough to utilize the plasma charger. Really this makes medium ships more desirable for me, and keeps small ships pretty useless.

The other option is to completely ignore it until the system selling the rare good is in boom, because then they'll sell you practically all 50 at once.
