Something I'm sure that has been mentioned but I missed and just thought about... How are the rover buggies stored? Are they their own ship modules? Are they stored as cargo?

froody guy posted:WTB EVE Apocrypha expansion for Elite Dangerous It'd be cool if they brought back the old one-shot wirmhole super-hyperdrives used to jump between different "Galaxies"* in the original Elite as a way to cross thousands of Lightyears in one go (but single use, of course). * I believe this was retconed to being other parts of the milky way and when [ PLOT ] prevented those wormhole drives from working anymore the other "Galaxies" died out due to being isolated/Thargoids.

You'll find them flying around in supercruise for a bit when they say that, but they'll quickly drop out of supercruise and leave a wake, which you're supposed to follow and meet them in real space. However, most of the time they're just offering you a crappy variation of your current mission. Instead of killing X spacepirates for Y spacebux, its Kill Z spacecops and frequently for less or roughly equal pay, hardly enough to make it worth the extra effort. The only time they're kind of useful is assassination missions, where they'll sometimes tell you where your target can be found.

Having seen screenshots of the Cobra IV's setup, its not a bad ship I guess. But I can't get excited over it. Its just too slow compared to the original (200/300 speed/boost vs the Mk3's 280/400). I'd have gladly traded one of those extra class 4s and maybe one of the class 3s to retain the Mk 3 Cobra's speed. I could live with the lesser maneuverability, but I gotta go fast. Guess I always saw the Cobra as a space hot-rod.

So I know that the Sirius Corp dudes offer a 15% off deal on Outfitting prices in their space, and the Python's price tag feels like that might finally be worth bothering with. Is there a well known system in Li Yong-Rui's space that has most stuff available?Nelson Mandingo posted:The problem is that travel is by it's very nature- dull.

Yeah, that is pretty dumb. I wonder what the justification is? That being in a ship would make them too easy to farm (like you'd want to)/identify/escape from?

A system 300-ish LY from The Bubble (inhabited space) where you can go to grab "normal" courier or smuggling missions that pay out in the high hundreds of thousands or low single-digit millions because of how far the "nearby" planets are. There are a few systems like this scattered around. Its a boring, if effective way to grind up credits.

I managed to rank up to Prince in the Empire twice due to some  bug that completely reset my empire rank and I never felt like I was grinding. But I guess its because I did it over time and didn't just try to rush to it ASAP.Then again, I've only recently obtained a python despite owning the game since launch, so obviously I'm not the average or something.

Naturally Selected posted:So decided to do the robigo run. Got 30M-ish worth of missions, got to the first station, got in front of the mailslot, set to autodock aaaaand it boosts me into a wall killing me instantly. gently caress this game I've been doing nothing but autodock (except when smuggling) for some time and never had trouble with it in my Asp, iCourier, Vulture, or Python. Sucks that you got unlucky. Did you trigger it literally a few hundred meters from the slot? I usually just activate it right after requesting docking permission ~7km out and it does a fine job boosting in from any facing.

Maybe don't break your SRV? They don't seem that fragile unless you're barreling into a combat area unprepared like an idiot.

That is only like, 4.43 Lightdays. Not nearly as bad as Hutton Orbital/Proxima Centauri's 0.22 LY.

I don't think we need in-system autopilot. What I'd want instead is making it easier to not overshoot your destination because the throttle blue-zone usually starts breaking down as you get close/fast. Loosen up the distance/speed requirement for dropping in.

Hey guys, don't try off-roading through craggy Europan canyons, I just spent over an hour trying to navigate extremely unfriendly terrain trying to get to my ship (and constantly dismiss/recalling it to try to find more favorable landing zones). Got to it with less than 30% hull left on my SRV. Apparently Pythons have trouble finding landing zones in rough terrain.

Ciaphas posted:Well this looks amusing as hell. Is smuggling a set of missions or do you (somehow) buy illegal goods to trade (or otherwise 'acquire' them There are smuggling missions now (that get failed when/if you get scanned) that you can do. Otherwise smuggling is trading in illegal goods (often slaves) or looted cargo from pirating/unidentified signal sources. quote:As for money making via combat, any suggestions on how I can fit my lovely little Eagle for combat? I'm on a 360 controller so precise aim is a bit out of the question. Can't go wrong with a couple gimballed pulse lasers and either a third gimballed pulse or something heavier hitting to give you punch. I used to use two pulses and a rocket launcher, but this was way back in gamma/fresh release where you only got credit for a kill if you scored the kill blow (thus the rockets were reserved for taking out the last 10-15% of hull).

So the entirety of Star Citizen has more to do in it than a single day worth of Elite 2.0? I can't help but think he should've worded that differently. (Or maybe this head cold has compromised my reading comprehension)
