Ive succumbed to space madness again, I'm already 5k ly away from the bubble and rapidly moving away  https://imgur.com/a/P0uSr This album will continue to grow as I move further outwards, the eventual goal is to join the 65,000 LY club by reaching Beagle Point. I'm already 6500 LY from 63 G. Capricorni. as of the time of finishing this post. I moved 1500 light years while setting up the album link.

Anime Store Adventure posted:The thing that honestly blows my god damned mind about Elite is that it is 100% set up for some kind of GTAV Shark card system where Frontier sells the cash, because there is absolutely no reason for them to gate poo poo so incredibly painfully behind the credit and/or rank grind unless they intended to milk you for cash to do it. Do like me, kit out a DBX, fly out to Beagle Point, and back. By the time you get back, you should have plenty of dosh from scanning and will be able to slap down cold hard credits for your shiny anaconda.

Anime Store Adventure posted:I mean, I get that, but that’s kinda not the point for me. I know I can jump out of the bubble at any time, but part of the fun for me is doing it in a perfect kit. I want repair limpets, I want a buggy, I want two AFMUs. I could pop out without that, but that detracts from the experience. I’ve been to Colonia and back and not needed a single AFMU or used a buggy more than as a time killer. I’ve never needed a repair limpet. But that’s the fun of outfitting your ship! I'd bet you don't go camping unless you have a 750,000 dollar Class A RV as well.

ickna posted:I thought I was being clever and plotted a course below the galactic plane towards a nebula 10k ly northwest of the bubble in my 50ly DBX. About 50% of the scoopable star systems had already been fully scanned. As I got closer to the nebula, more and more of the planets further out from the stars had been scanned and named. Like hundreds of thousands of ls from the entry point icy bodies. CMDR Pete had a lot of free time or some completionist fetish, drat. Most of the systems I've hit in between nebulas have been completely unscanned, but then again I'm very coreward in between two nebulae. Last I checked, I was over 11k from Sol, and 13k from Colonia.

Blind Rasputin posted:So what’s the easiest way to get vr for this game. Do Xbox and PC accounts crossover or is everything you own on one not there on the other? PC. There is no Xbox support for VR, nor does Playstation VR work for this. Your only choice is whether to go for Vive, Oculus Rift, or one of the many budget sets built on Microsoft's VR/AR API. Microsoft's gig is supported by Steam VR, and the sets all use inside-out tracking, so it should work the same as if you were using a Vive, but you're going to have to contend with budget parts problems if you buy a budget headset. The samsung set really isn't budget, it's basically the best poo poo you can get that supports Microsoft's API, and the halo headband is a million times better than anything on a Rift or Vive. Also, regarding PC/Xbox/PS4 crossover of data, search your heart and you will find the answer. orange juche fucked around with this message at 10:08 on Dec 20, 2017 |

 Merry Christmas to me, I sold my Python finally and upgraded to the DFS Majestic Spaceduck. This thing is remarkably agile for a ship that needs to land on a large pad. I was pretty impressed with how nimble it feels for its size. I haven't gotten around to engineering it up yet, as I just bought it yesterday and haven't had too much time to mess with it.

Robert Red Rocket posted:So I got this game during the sales and am thinking of buying a logitech extreme 3D Pro joystick to use with my G27 set, essentially using the pedals for rudders and throttling. Is this sufficient enough or do I still need a keyboard by my side if I use the buttons provided with the G27, or is this just a really terrible idea in general. It's pretty unconventional, that and aviation rudder pedals are not like car gas/brake, they're more on a "slide" so to speak, and pushing in the right rudder pedal will push the left one out, and vice versa. I'd recommend at a minimum invest in a HOTAS if you're going for immersion, instead of using kb/m. Game is perfectly serviceable with keyboard and mouse, or gamepad, or single joystick or whatever, I just personally find it easier to control with a separate throttle unit with its additional buttons. For the price of a Logitech 3d Pro, you can buy a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X, which will run you about 40 bucks before shipping. It's not excellent, but it gives you better control than what a Logitech 3d pro will give, due to the separate throttle and the ability to control your directional thrusters on the throttle using rocker switches. Also, on any joystick, there will be a twist to yaw built in usually, this is accurate enough for Elite just fine, using rudder pedals is something I've never needed to do, mainly because you won't find yourself yawing much in this game in a combat situation, mostly you roll and then pull or push on the stick because the ships are faster through the vertical axis than the horizontal one. Other comedy options for joysticks if you have a little bit more money (in order of price) Thrustmaster T16000M FCS (This one requires two USB ports, as they were designed as separate units!) Logitech X52 Flight Control System Logitech x52 Pro FCS Logitech Pro Flight X56 RHINO HOTAS Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Flight Stick Personally I've put a shitload of hours on a 12 year old X52, and other than having to break it apart and put new grease on the internal plastic bits, never had a problem with the physical hardware. Saitek got bought out by Mad Catz a couple years back, their QC went to absolute poo poo, and then they got sold off to Logitech for loving pennies compared to their original value. Who knows if the "new" Logitech X52 stick has improved QC from the Mad Catz days, but I've never had real problems with Logitech's PC stuff, unlike Mad Catz which was unrepentant garbage every time I bought a peripheral from them. What I can say is the Logitech driver package for the X52 is much loving improved from the Mad Catz days, which bodes well for overall quality. There used to be a persistent bug, that they knew about and left in for years with the Mad Catz software that would cause your system to lock up within 10-15s after unplugging the HOTAS from your computer, the only way to prevent this was to force exit the HOTAS software from your task manager, and then force stop the Saitek services in your services tab. The Logitech software has shown no evidence of this bug, and it looks like they completely rewrote the entire driver package from the old Saitek/Mad Catz kit. orange juche fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Jan 1, 2018 |

Oh dearie me, how will I ever make the money from getting nailed in open back?

Blind Rasputin posted:While the sound effects individuals in this game are already very good it is missing one key thing. When I come out of 40 minutes of supercruise the hull of my ship should be literally smoking from space friction.  Frame shift is closer to an Alcubierre drive than anything, you're stationary in a bubble of space and bending it around you. So, when you arrive at a destination, you should blast everything in front of you with a lethal cone of gamma rays and alpha/beta particles that have been caught up in the folded space. Basically dropping out of supercruise should sterilize whatever you're dropping out near.
