It's the name we came up with after Tikal took off for the coast or whatever. My other suggestion was "Goons without Frontiers" only in french but because I don't speak French good, I also suggest "Jeux Sans Frontières" after the true hero of this thread, Peter "P-Gabz" Gabriel.

Diamond Frogs is good and I think making up a thousand funny patches for squads would also be fun and good.

In conclusion goddamnit frank.club i lost gryphglyph to this game IM NOT LOSING YOU TOO *picks u up, slowcrawls u the rest of the way to Mt Doom*

So could I, which is why I am killing two Eagles with one laser burst

^^^ no. If it were my choice it would be "Goons Without Frontiers" only in french. The unit crest that some one designed has the frog very heavily hidden. Sort of a get it under the radar deal.

Honestly, how hard would it be to introduce a new class of mission with 'passenger' rather than cargo requirements? Doing this badly & cheaply with the current mission system would be very little effort, and would at least tick that box.

For now though, the Orca is a prestige ship, the one to show that you have 'made it'.

I.E. having 100M+ left over after buying all the ships you might use for anything effectively.

You can fly an ExplOrca too. Whilst it can't jump for poo poo, it's the stylish way to see the stars! You just need to roleplay that you are chilling with your space concubines in the luxury jacuzzi cabin, rather than getting very smelly & going slowly mad in a cheap & nasty Lakon rustbucket.

The WAAAGH! OrKa is the combat variant, used primarily for ramming. With its high speed, and vaguely phallic shape it has maximum comedy annoyance value.

It's also hilarious to pirate with - it's more than capable of dealing with dedicated trader ships, and, well, no one expects the YaaarOrca.


Still, mine will be the first thing I sell if anything else expensive and actually useful appears.

How did that make it past their editors or whatever? I mean, they had to have someone who had played MGSV.

It's Frontier. Nobody knows what we're getting and nobody knows what it'll look like when it arrives, but going by previous experience it'll minimum viable implementation.

Sometimes when interdicting, the targeting UI freaks out and stutters between two positions super fast and I end up failing the interdiction shortly thereafter. Is this a bug? Anyone else run into this?

Was really hoping someone would just post to tell me to update my video drivers and all would be well.

Welp.

I guess I shouldn't really complain, since paint jobs should've prepared me for this, but bobbleheads at 5 quid a pop is... kinda sad for a feature they cut out of beta.

Yes because lots of people play in open anyway, even if just trading. They could go solo but not everyone does so???

It's been the recommended budget stick in the War Thunder thread for years. Very good for the price.

Come on, procedural generation is good and all, but before we can have multiple galaxies Frontier needs more servers and time. A shitload of time, since we at least know something about our galaxy, but quasars are weird enough Frontier would be hard pressed to make a quasar-map make sense.

On the other hand, if Frontier runs out of ideas for expansions in a decade, I could see them going through our galactic neighbourhood for some more galaxies. I don't think we'd get quasars even then, though: Galaxies with active cores are all too far away as far as I know.

Our descendents will probably finally get them in Elite: Marvelous: Quasars, when it comes out in 2077.

Does anyone know anything at all about the upcoming planetary stuff? I want in games like Elite to just gently caress off in a random direction, find weird crap, and sell it for cash. And from what I've heard thus far, exploration in Dangerous is still too shallow to really fit that bill. But if being able to land on planets and loot crashes and stuff is being rolled into the exploration system, I am abruptly much more interested.

Is it actually possible to make decent money with combat these days? Or is it still space trucking all the way?

Have they said when the arena thing is coming out? I haven't played ED in a month or two but am looking forward to trying that.

is it in a beta thing though or actually live on the game?

I prospect every rock. I bring "too many" limpets and just dump a bunch between rocks if I hit some early jackpots.

They should change it so that your collectors ignore stuff you "abandon." Makes it a bit awkward to dump junk materials or excess limpets because your collectors will just snag them right up. You can work around that by dropping stuff after your collectors expire and moving several KM away before deploying new ones. If your collectors are still out, then you can close your hatch, drop stuff and then move away. Your collectors will still grab one item each, but the closed hatch will prevent them from grabbing any more.

If anybody knows a better way to dump unwanted stuff while using collectors, please share!

Super weird how defensive this thread gets around criticism.
