OP leaves out Elite Plus, which is different enough from the original to deserve mention, and FFE.

I can see one immediate and obvious problem with this: The power plant isn't big enough to support everything you need for combat when deployed. An A-class power plant will do it.

It does not have enough power to run thrusters, weapons, shields, shield cells, sensors, life support, chaff and the power distributor.

Is CQC basically Melee from Star Control 2? Is Horizons basically planet landings from Star Control 2? What I'm asking is are Frontier stealth-mkaing a Star Control MMO?

There was an explanation of this fairly recently, to generate rank progression missions you need to do missions for affiliated minor factions, which raises a hidden stat (that never lowers) called 'faction skill' or something. Once faction skill is high enough, you get a mission.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:The problem with PvE is that it should be closer to PvP in terms of duration and experience. Forcing players to equip their ships for eternal death matches is stupid. Zones should be isolated events that shrink over time as the number of combatants decreases, and influence should occur as a result of who wins the conflict not how many ships are destroyed. Counterpoint: Flying around in a vulture for hours blowing up ships in a war that will never end no matter how many you kill is both fun and profitable.

Have life-support's hitbox encompass the entire ship, maybe? Get shot up enough and even if nothing vital's got hit you'll eventually spring a leak.

Commit an incredibly minor crime in that system, that reactivates the bounty. Then get another player to KWS and kill you in a sidey or something.

Although it might explain why the UI takes 30 seconds to load a mission list. Maybe in 2017 we'll get something that wasn't developed using fortran It's a remake of a series first seen in 1984 and last seen not long afterwards. No poo poo a big chunk of the audience is still running XP SP2 or whatever ("SP3 just RUINED it, as an 04er I" *strangled*)

You need to buy a Planetary Vehicle Hangar module, then you can add a Vehicle Bay from the Restock menu and that'll come with the SRV.

I landed at Watts Settlement and decided to have a drive around, looking for the things I hear you can data link to. Found nothing but lost my ship and eventually my SRV blew up from abuse. Couldn't steer for poo poo, spent most of the time confused and the latter half of the time angry. Thinking I'll just stay in space from now on.

uh zip zoom posted:Hi there, I'm a disabled gamer. I was injured about 12 years ago in a diving accident, and I can't feel from the chest down nor move my fingers in order to hold things or push buttons. In order to adapt, I bought a SmartNav4 headtracking mouse and I supplement that with voiceattack. Since those are two of my three primary adaptive equipment pieces, and because both products are popular with the elite dangerous crowd, should I try this game? Because drat is it pricey… You could probably get away without most of the buttons but you probably need equivalente to WASD for horizobtal thrust, Q and E for tabbing menus and yaw and something like R and F for vertical thrust (especially important), and both fire buttons. If you choose your loadouts right you could have just the one fire button.
