New E:D player here. How 'MMO' is E:D in open play compared to say Eve? If I take a mission at spaceport X does that mission disappear from another player's screen or do we each have our own list? If I sell a poo poo ton of unobtanium does that affect the price that someone else gets for unobtanium?

Thanks! Is there a good intro to E:D post somewhere? Looking for a general overview of what is in the game and an idea of how those things interact as a jumping off point to Google for X.

Someone figured out that if you use \n \ on your ship name it creates a line break

I’m uh, going to change all my ship’s names now to

someone who isnt afraid of getting banned should set their name to "\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b". (\bell)

Go sit at either the beacon or a REZ site in systems with that faction present and they'll eventually show up.

This is one of the most annoying things about E:D Edit: as a new player. There's a bunch of poo poo that fires off after some random number of seconds of sitting at a place, but there's no useful UI to show that you're waiting on top of the quest marker and not just hanging out at some random map element that has no bearing on your mission.

FYI this patch hosed up throttling down mid-hyperspace jump. So if you are like me and your throttle down to zero during a jump, when you come out of it, you will be at full throttle, so don't get up to go do something while you wait for the next system to pop in.

I haven't played yet post patch but Reddit said that it works if you throttle down during the countdown.

That is because the Asp is terrible. The Type 9 had a very slight mass reduction, so it will handle a little better than previously. But I never had a problem with it.

I'm liking the Asp Scout as a Road to Riches mule but it is literally my 2nd ship after putting a 2A FSD and surface scanner in my newbie Sidewinder. Everyone says the Asp Explorer is awesome, and I was planning on selling off the Scout for an Explorer once I had the credits to fit one out. I had the credits but I got really drunk and A-fit a Cobra, which I can sell off for now.

Is there a better ship for someone with ~20m credits in liquid/spaceship assets? I didn't sell the Asp Scout so I can go honk a few more Road to Riches runs if I'm right below a useful cutoff.

i am glad i will apparently never be able to accrue appreciable money in this game. is it like bitcoin? did i miss the bubble?

i have a viper 3 or whatever and like 100k credits and no idea how to make more.

Grind out the 250k for a Detailed Surface Scanner, do like 3 planets of a Road to Riches run, go back for an Advanced Discovery Scanner because honking as you spiral out from the star is annoying, go back and do more Road to Riches. You get 500-700k per HMC/TWW/ELW, low to high.

E: Also don't be afraid to skip distant planets. I saw a planet on my list last night at 200k Ls. I could spend 10m flying out to it, or I could skip that system and scan 5 planets in that time.

Maybe add a link to http://edtools.ddns.net/expl.php (Road to Riches)

Whoops thought I was in the new thread, posting it there too.
