Drone posted:The Diamondback looks like a believable Star Wars ship, so that makes it cool in my book. The AspX is a disc with a Lancaster Bomber-style cockpit, I'm not sure how much more Star Wars you want a ship to look in a Han Solo simulator... (I actually like the DBX a lot, but I have one of the ship kits and a few paintjobs for the AspX, and am quite content with its 48ly jumps.)

Rah! posted:i keep telling myself that the bulk of Frontier's staff that's working on Elite must secretly be working on some bad rear end atmospheric landing and FPS stuff, and overhauled missions with more voice acting, etc, while they're keeping a skeleton crew on the current horizons updates we've been getting. At this point, I'd take just the atmospheric landing. All I want is to mess about in a gas giant's atmosphere, or even just land at an outpost when it's pissing it down with rain.

deadly_pudding posted:I think we'll get landing abilities for like the atmospheric desert planets in the next year or so, and maybe gas giants. I think we're at least 2-3 years off from earth-like or even "life-bearing" worlds. Yeah, when I talk about landing in a storm, I still mean a desolate hellhole, just with an atmosphere. I don't see 'living' worlds till a long way down the road, let alone highly populated ones.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:My way around this is to create bookmarks for my course. I make the destination 00 - Whatever, then the waypoints are 01, 02, 03, etc. I do them about every 900ly when exploring, or for trade circuits in the bubble. Or use https://www.spansh.co.uk to give you cut n paste routes. If you don't wanna use neutrons, set the efficiency to 100. That site is awesome for any trips over 1000ly.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:The game's lore since release has involved a couple galactic-wide powers in a constant state of war that only ever showed up in any meaningful way in-game in Galnet posts. I'm honestly expecting it to be limited to weekly "AAAAH THARGOIDS IN SECTOR 2" CGs that spawn CZs in one or two systems at a time.

Anime Store Adventure posted:I don't understand why they didn't just say "artificial gravity is real" since that's way easier to handwave about. Especially when you're already manipulating spacetime at some hundreds of times C. It boils down to one thing: "If stations spin then how artificial gravity?"

Colonial Air Force posted:I'm not sure how one excludes the other It totally doesn't, but that's the logic. "spinny stations were in the original game and cool, and if we had AG there'd be no reason to have them". Despite, as people have pointed out, you could limit workable AG to something the size of, say, a cutter.

If it's telling you to face the exit to land, somethings hosed up, you ALWAYS land facing the arse end of the station.

I feel like they already shoved some of the plotting into the main game. Enroute to colonia again right now, and the game is finishing plotting a 1000ly route before the map finishes scrolling over to the end point.

Anime Store Adventure posted:Are the asteroid stations cool enough to detour to the main "highway" to Colonia? I'm about half way there too but instead of heading strait away I curled around the spiral arm and intended to approach Colonia from galactic west (assuming beagle point is north?) There's definitely one, possibly two, within about 50ly of Colonia, so just have a gander when you get there.

Blind Rasputin posted:Any idea how long these stations and rescue ships will be around? I’ve stashed some modules in the rescue ships for my return visit but don’t want to like log on to a nasty surprise. At a guess, at least till next weekly maintenance (early hours of Wednesday night server time). They don't tend to change states on things like that till downtime. If it's there after next weds night, you're probably safe till the following weds. Unless, of course, burning stations is treated differently, because reasons.
