The ship is burning, brohiem, get it now before there's no money left.

And yes, over the course of 3 years I had about $450 or so put into the game, with most of what that bought having already been sold on Reddit. I should get about $400 back if they're refunding everything. $300ish if it's just the ships.

Even if it does release it's not like I'm going to be out anything by not having all of the veteran backer rewards. So I lose some flair. If CIG actually releases a playable game I'll just buy the game again at normal prices.

well oculus is only $350 from Oculus direct

Just wondering if the update borked the interdiction for everywhere. I mean middle of nowhere and Pow you are interdicted by an NPC and you can't escape.

One other question, if someone interdicts you, do you still have to warrant check them before opening fire or does the interdiction also class as a criminal act to you meaning you can defend without checking?

There are registry hacks that allow you to assign control axes (ie. your lateral thrusters) to the mouse thumbstick for most Saitek HOTAS products, so long as you're OK with sacrificing the dials on the throttle.

I have had no problems at all with my Fly 5 Stick, the thrusters up/down left/right are on the thumbstick, I have the 2 throttles tied together and used for forward/back split and I have my EDTracker for the look.

gently caress that. The ability of solo or PG players to have just as much influence as players playing in open, the mode designed to take full advantage of everything the game has to offer, is bullshit.

Being able to gently caress off on your own and flip the bird to anyone who even in the slightest amount may work against you is the carebear dream and needs to die.

I was doing Rare runs solo, i then thought this is not right and switched to open,

Undocked, Flew through the letterbox,
"Critical Eject eject eject" Kaboom.......

"you were killed by Cmdr XXXXX" (I can't remember his name)

WTF!!!! Back to Solo..

(the annoying thing is there was no "you are under attack" or anything like that, he literally one shotted me about 10 seconds after leaving the station. This is why you can never have nice things.. So now out of my hauler and back in a sidewinder as he took a full cargo of rares with him worth about 3 mill

When you started flying out, did you fly out on the side of the letterbox with the green lights or the red lights?

I am english so I always use the green side.
There were laser beams going past me but I was still in the no fire zone so I assumed that the station would have blown him up before he could kill me,
The station had just destroyed someone inside the station as well so i assumed that the lasers were to do with that. (also it was Lave)

Oh I know that, but how does adding an empty fuel tank reduce the amount it costs me to jump? I mean, if I have an empty Class 5 Cargo Rack and 32T of fuel and it costs me x to jump, why switching that Cargo Rack for an empty Class 5 Fuel Tank makes the same jump cost y? It should still cost x since the mass should be unaffected. :v:

At least I believe that that's what Kaker meant when he mentioned this.

Ok, you have a cargo rack which has the equipment to hold the canisters in place so that rack weighs say 3T
You have an empty Fueltank which contains no fuel and is only 1T or 0.5T.

Try changing out the cargo rack and the fueltank, does your ship mass change?

What kills me is the FDL (a no-bullshit heavy fighter unfit for anything else) has a comparatively huge, luxurious cabin with nice lines, etc. While the "exploration" ship is literally a cramped little glass ball stuck onto a type 6. I'm not one of those people that need to roleplay taking a poo poo or whatever, but the Asp's cabin being so lovely actively annoys me. It's not even janky in a "held together with duct tape and pure grit" way. It's like it was designed to be as offensively mediocre as possible.

Its a shame we cannot do with the capital ships what a couple of friends used to do with a different game, one would distract the capital ship AI the other would sneak in the airlock and bop the AI core taking control of it.

They ended up with these Huge Pirate Capital Ships connected together as their base,

Apparently the admins came along and said "how are you doing this", They were shown and were told "stop doing this" the following day the Pirate AI was removed from the game

Me, I have ED:H but I am not playing at the moment as I need them to reactivate Rift support, i mean the Commercial version is shipping this month and there is no sign that they are going to support it,

Thats what I assumed for those scenarios, however I don't quite understand how you would "Convert" to a Oculus store (as if you were killing off being able to use the ED launcher or your already owned Steam version) since the game tracks your purchases in Elite through your Login... Wonder why they are making it so confusing. My guess is you will just get the key to not have to buy the game again in the Oculus store, if you have an Oculus and want to launch it from within there. That key should also (if you don't already have Elite and just bought the game through Oculus's store itself) allow you to use the ED launcher outside of Oculus if you would want but they may/may not provide a Steam key to load it up there as well.


Either way, Have VR, multiple ways to get and play Elite so no matter where you buy it, it should work on anything just fine.

As for the GPU requirements, I can definitely see that Horizons may require a 980+ as Landing on Moons is a much more GPU stressing event then even just flying near high detailed stations pre Horizons. I am looking to get back to civilized space to load up my Type-6 with the SCV I need then landing on the nearest planet to give it another go since I got the 980Ti. On my SLI 780's I was no longer able to play at 1.5X (On a DK2) when I got close to and landed on a moon, however normal space and station still were ok. I assume the CV1 will kill that 1.5x ability like you mention.


Also Lee, if you guys need a 3rd party for any VR article (Rift/Vive/Omni) Down the line, hey I'm the semi self appointed VR Guinea pig.

And yet i still play all my games on high graphics and i only have a 560GTX (and i run a rift DK2 with no obvious juddering

Friendly Humour - best thing you can do is to join the frogs, come out to Frog Space and we'll set you up.

If you don't want to join the frogs just find a nice system to work out of. An easy and safe way to make some starting money is to drop in on weak signal sources, pick up the most valuable stuff and sell it on the black market.

Also, go to Low Res points, wait until you see the cops shooting at something and then join in when the target is nearly dead.

P.S Canons are terrible. Go for two Pulse lasers or one Pulse/1 MC on your sidey.

:frontear: should add F&F system so we can have a hidden code so if we are not with the frogs, at least we can go about our business without being killed by the frogs as we have a Friend Ident
