Literally Kermit posted:- The radio chatter and the Traffic Controllers add a LOT to stations now. Your callsign (the manufacturer of your ship and the first three letters of your CMDR name, so me in an AspE is "Lakon Kilo Echo Romeo") comes off seamlessly, as well as your pad number. Even the automated controllers wish you well when you leave their airspace

Panch posted:I should like this game. In every other stupid space game I can enjoy simply the idea that I'm doing things that make some vague contextual sense. Something in Elite just destroys even that enjoyment from immersion. Robigo runs will annihilate the Type 7 grind and make the Elite grind... almost sane.

Panch posted:Do they still exist? I thought I had read a Reddit post that those missions had gone away, but I had no context. They seemed like something I would very much enjoy in terms of challenge (even with weird bullshit AI things) but I wasn't sure if I had the resources to jump into it. God if that doesn't feel like everything I want to do, though. It feels like to be good at any one role, you need to have 100mil in capital. I've been having the spacemadness so I haven't done it in a while but I keep hearing things like "wow this new patch is going to make Robigo even more ridiculous" and I easily started doing Robigo runs in a  Cobra III and highly suggest it as a starter.

Yeah, it's the damndest thing that missions seem to actually give decent pay now, Diamond Frogs have given me multiple 1+million credit missions almost every refresh lately. When I started the best paying missions were 250,000 credits to kill an Elite Anaconda Pirate Lord who could tank your Viper III uphill through the snow both ways

Krycek posted:I use mines. Park directly over the skimmers, about 130m up. Drop mine and start logging off when it's about half to the surface. The mine will get all 6 skimmers, missiles only ever killed 3-4 per shot. I've gotten all six skimmers with a single Class 2 dumbfire before. It's just not reliable.

TorakFade posted:A tough mission like an Elite Pirate Lord in a souped up Battleconda should net you at the very least 10-20 millions, more if you're friendly or allied. I remember when doing this got me 300k per mission in my ViperIII, and I was glad for it at the time. Now I turn down skimmer missions during 17 Draconis stacking runs if they don't pay at least 2.5 million. This game sure has changed.

jnnnnn posted:A-grade sensors on a big ship weigh 128 tonnes, which reduces an Anaconda's jump range by 20% over D-rated ones. The increased mass also hurts turn rates, shield strength, and top speed. I was always told that Shields only count the base Hull mass, not extra internal mass. Coriolis and other similar ship fitting tools always seemed to not give a gently caress about anything else either, back when I used them.

Sirius is in eternal lockdown and I can't get the goddamned loving Marco Qwent invite because literally nobody in that system is giving missions HOLY poo poo loving GODDAMN  I ended up unlocking Selene Jean instead after a few hours of loving around doing missions for DF in Xihe, that's how bad it is. I mined 500 tonnes of poo poo and 10 Painite and it was easier than just getting an invite from Marco Qwent.

I miss Robigo if only for the novelty of watching ~10 or so Fed Security/Pirates all fly past me at once into the gravity well of a star, it was as gently caress, but minus the backing up out of the star part.edit: I am starting to think there is something actively sinister manipulating the RNG for Marco Qwent related activities.   Not that I mind killing animes in space, but seriously, of all the NPC's in the game to get hired to fight me? And during my final mission for Marco Qwent grinding?

Ursine Catastrophe posted:3. Get a bunch of those by board scumming, which is the tried and true method of exploitation for making actual money instead of the pittance the developers intended, which consists of: Check the board in open and solo, wait 10-15 minutes, repeat. Bring a book. My current favorite to read while doing this is the Lies of Locke Lamora series, which is all about a few old world confidence schemers. Sorta like a more violent Oceans Eleven where the cast swears almost as much as Kermit. It does not speak well of FDevs' mission system, but it could also be worse.
